I know I just necro'd a thread, but I just wanted to update everybody on the 3DS data transfer rather than creating a new thread.

I just recently bought another 3DS (Purple), which is for my gf this time. When transferring data, it completely wipes out your old 3DS and move every single little thing over making the old 3DS pretty much formatted as if it's brand new. It does transfer the Ambassador Certificate. She now has all my games. I lost it all to her (it's okay!). I had to edit the main Mii, and link her own Nintendo account.

What's cool, though, is that as the file transfers a bunch of Pikmin comes out and act like they're moving every piece of data! It's so cute :)

Yeah, I did this when I got my kid's 3DS.  We copied all of the stuff from the DSi to the 3DS.  In the case of DSi to 3DS, you can copy one thing over (ie: Just a game or just pictures) instead of copying everything.  I wanted to give her Freaky Forms but it said that EVERYTHING would be copied and her 3DS data would be overwritten.  Since I didn't want to be stuck with a pink 3DS, we didn't do that.  I just bought her the game from the eShop.
