VGC legal pokemon

[2tru4u]

This is probably a stupid question, but here it is: are any and all pokemon ever associated with a cart that has had action replay used on it in ANY WAY always considered hacked in VGC? Please know Im totally against using completely altered pokemon, even in a casual matches with friends. The thing is, when i was about 150 hours into soulsilver i got frustrated with just how long it was taking to build my ideal teams. I used an action replay to get all the tms and items, and thats it. so my question is, are all pokemon that have ever been on this cart now tainted? are the pokemon that i have taught ill gotten moves to legal for tournaments? are pokemon caught with balls from the action replay legal for tournaments? the vgc will be here in phoenix on the 22nd, and i dont know if i have enough time to go get a clean copy of hg/ss and start from scratch but im willing to try if i have to. i would love to use the pokemon i have built using the tms i got from action replay though, they are all moves that CAN be learned naturally by levelling or breeding.
thanks for reading and please let me know

According to the official tournament rules:

The use of external devices to alter the Pokémon in a player's party is expressly forbidden. Random checks will be performed throughout the tournament to determine whether or not an external device has been used to modify a player's party. Players found to have Pokémon that have been tampered with will be disqualified from the event, regardless of whether the player tampered with his or her game or received a Pokémon or item that was tampered with by someone other than the player. It is the player's responsibility to have legal Pokémon. Event officials have the final determination regarding the legality of a Pokémon.

A player should notify the staff immediately if he or she believes that there is a problem with an opponent's Pokémon. At the end of the round, all match results become final. Issues that go unreported until after the round has completed will not change the result of that match, regardless of whether there is a problem with an opponent's Pokémon.

Players and spectators are expected to demonstrate proper sportsmanship over the course of the event. A player may be disqualified from the event based on actions taken by friends or relatives who disrupt the operation of the tournament.

Depending on what Action Replay codes you used, you may or may not have traces of prior hacking left behind. If you've only used codes to obtain TMs and Hold Items, I doubt there is any actual way to tell unless its completely obvious (ie, 800 TM26's), but I have no experience using AR, so I can't say for sure.

If you want to be completely safe, I suggest you start over. If your Pokemon were obtained legally, such as being hatched from an egg or being found in a route that they're supposed to be on and only having move sets that are possible (note that even if a Pokemon can learn an attack, it might be impossible to have it with another attack. For example, Crobat can't have both Hypnosis and Nasty Plot as Egg Moves as there is no way to breed them both at the same time as far as I know) that are possible, they'll be considered legit and you can trade them over to a clean game without worry. It's easy enough to check if these Pokemon are legit by looking at their learnsets on a site like Serebii or Bulbapedia. There is also no way to tell if you used a hacked TM or a real TM on a Pokemon since that sort of information isn't stored in the Pokemon's data.
