All this is an hiphotetical question, since I'm way too far to go to Worlds(Costa Rica it's a bit far, don't you think?) or will be playing in it, but:

Let's say I, SOMEHOW in the Pre-Releases, manage to get the cards needed to build a Genesect/Virizion Deck(in this case the playset of Virizion-EX, Genesect-EX and a G Booster) before Worlds. Would I be able to play this deck at Worlds?
 
No. The cards are not on the market at the time Worlds takes place.~KA
 
No, you wouldn't be able to play that deck because Plasma Blast (official release date August 14th) would not be legal for Worlds. (which is August 9th through August 11th)
 
Wow, that was a quick response!!! XD And what if I used an Ultra Ball, Pokemon Catcher or Professor Juniper from there? I guess those would be legal.

Since they are reprints, yes. You can use them.

1.5. Unreleased Cards
From time to time, players will acquire cards from a new set prior to its regular release date,
usually via a Prerelease. These cards may not be used in sanctioned tournaments until the
regular release date of the set, as outlined in Section 13.1, with one exception. Cards that are
already tournament legal which have been reprinted in an unreleased set may be used as long
they are easily identifiable as a reprinted card. This is typically only an issue when a reprinted
card receives new art, though other factors may create a similar issue. These cards should
always be played with the most recent wording of the tournament-legal version of the card.
Players who are unsure as to whether an unreleased card meets the exception above should
check with the Head Judge prior to the start of the tournament.
