Resetting Imaginator Crystals

[Orion's Islands]

Caught some buzz about a method to reset your Imaginator Crystals.
To summarize, it seems you can use the 3DS version of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure (3DS SSA) to instruct a locked crystal WITH an imaginator saved on it to reset.
Here is a step by step:

YOU CAN NOW RESET THE BATTLE CLASSES USING THE ZOOKINATOR FOUND METHOD:
-
THINGS YOU NEED:
1. Nintendo 3DS system.
2. SkyLanders Spyro’s Adventure video game.
3. SkyLanders Spyro’s Adventure, Giants or Swap Force Portal of Power.
4. Crystal with a Battle Class selected and an Imaginator created on that crystal.
5. SkyLanders Imaginators video game.
-
STEPS:
1. Start up SI game and make an Imaginator.
2. Start up 3DS SSA game.
3. Talk to Wendel, the Mabu in the center of the map, he will prompt you to play a SkyLander on the Portal.
4. Place Crystal with an Imaginator on the 3DS SSA Portal of Power and Aim the 3DS at the Portal of Power.
5. It should not recognize in game and show an Error “Uh Oh a toy on the Portal of Power has a problem, Reset this SkyLander?”
6. Press the Reset button.
7. Another error screen displays “SORRY A toy on the Portal of Power can’t be used with this game. Please contact Activision Customer Service for assistance. Need more help? Check out your Quickstar Guide!”
8. Place that Crystal on the Portal that SkyLanders Imaginators is running on.
9. Crystal is now reset to factory defaults.

Thanks to Thomas L for trying this out.
EVERYONE, SPREAD THE WORD, LET'S LET THE CASUAL TO HARDCORE FANS KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!

This was posted up at DarkSpyro.
I have not tried it myself yet but I will when we get the game. This, of course, requires the SSA 3DS game and its portal but I don't know about the potential functionality in other previous Skylanders titles.
Please post up any news or practical tests (successful or not) you may try.

The same portal master supplied some pictures as he put a crystal thru the reset process-He claims very successfully. A few others have chimed in with reports of repeated success. While I am skeptical about all claims like these until I, or someone I trust, has tested it first hand, I must admitt that this method sounds promising:

Just caught a post from the above portal master stating that the 3DS Skylanders Giants game can also be used to reset the Imaginator Crystals using the same method. The primary difference being that you talk to Hugo instead.
(again: I have not tested this myself but it sounds promising)

This would be grest if I had either of those games, but I started getting the 3DS games later, I think SF or TT.

Now it has been mentioned on DarkSpyro that the Giants game on the Wii can do this. (Will have to dig out my Wii again I suppose).

Yep, it works...I have casually mentioned it a few times, but never made a video as I don't want to anger anyone if the knowledge wasn't intended to be known etc. That said, imo the Creation Crystals should not lock your Battle Class selection permanently anyway.
