Actually you can, Powersaves dont require a hacked console, Xbox 360 and PS3 save files can also be altered w/o console hacking.

Still is cheating and still is a breach of the TOS of the game.

Using the Game Sync ID from another game to unban isn't going to last long. They'll see that the save file is entirely different, then ban again.

If the method suggested by @EvilMakiPR worked this (quoted) will work too. It will take a week but will be more persistent and without game-breaking consequences.

Here's how the unbanning method worked in ORAS era:

1. Unlink the game from Global Link.
2. After it's done, back up your old save.
3. Start a new game, then reach the Festival Plaza.
4. Do a Game Sync with your PGL account and retrieve your ID.
5. Back up your new save file.
6. Open your new save file with PKHeX. Find the Game Sync ID field and copy that.
7. Open your old save file with PKHeX. Find the Game Sync ID field and paste the one from the new save file.
8. Restore your old modified save
Voila! You're unbanned with no data lost
I know that tempers like posts with pictures so here's the picture of a kitten

I had a lot of illegal Pokémon, such as final evolutions lvl 1 on my boxes (to complete the dex), and before to connect I removed all of them and I didn't get the error code (for now)
Sorry for my bad english

exactly who does this effect? it cant be people who inject legit mons since the number is only 6k. is it injecting things like clothes/items which triggers a ban?

My Sun save was altered in a way. I basically did the Cosmog event twice, but not through event flag mangling, just restoring a save set before claiming the Cosmog, after the fact, meaning I have 2 Cosmogs, same TID/SID/OT, I went online today, no ban. That's a minor thing, maybe it doesn't count as an altered save, a better test is when I gen up a team for the Alola Friendly Competition that starts tonight. I doubt a ban will happen.

Really wish I'll be able to participate in it. Still gotta unban me.

What information does festival plaza actually save? I can't remember when I powersaved max money, but I'm sure I've entered the festival plaza afterwards. I haven't ever linked my save file to GL, but planned on doing it soon. I've cloned a few Pokémon and maximized rare candies, in addition to maxing money. What steps should I be taking to legitimize my save file prior to linking my game?

Pretty sure this only affects those that were dumb enough to use max iv/EV mons on battlespot or another gamesync online function.
Why exactly would this affect only people that used max IV/EV mons in battlespot? That makes no sense.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
