This guide won't unban your console.
I know this thread might seem useless but a few people I know could've gotten banned if they didn't do this, so more experienced users should just ignore this thread.
Step 1: Install JKSM
If you don't already, you should start by installing this great save manager called JKSM (although theoretically any save manager would work, this guide is specifically for JKSM). The link for JKSM is here.
Step 2: Backup your save
After installing JKSM, boot it. Press Refresh Games and go to SD/CIA. Scroll down until you find Pokemon Sun/Moon. Press export save, hit new, and give it a name. Now, exit JKSM by pressing B 3 times.
If you experience an error about it not being able to open the save archive, don't fret., just play the game until you reach the professor first talking to you through the camera thing, then exit and try installing the save again. (Thanks to CitizenSnips)
Step 3: Uninstalling the leak
We'll uninstall the leak now (updated thanks to dotarice). Navigate to one of the following.
FBI:
To uninstall with FBI first open FBI (duh). Navigate to Titles and find Pokemon Sun/Moon. Press A once and scroll down to Delete Title and Ticket. Exit FBI.
System Settings:
To uninstall with system settings, open system settings and tap Data Management (bottom left square). Tap Nintendo 3DS and then software. Find Pokemon Sun/Moon, tap it, and tap delete. After it uninstalls, exit system settings. If you're not running A9LH (which you should be), make sure to boot back into EmuNAND.
Step 4: Installing the legit version
You can now install the game either by buying it through the eShop, downloading it through FreeShop, using tickets to install it through eShop, or using a legit cartridge.
eShop: Simply buy the game and install it. Continue to step 5.
FreeShop: Boot FreeShop, find Sun and Moon, and install it. After it's finished continue to step 5.
Tickets and eShop: If you purchased the game previously, you'll have the tickets installed. Navigate to the redownload page and download it again, then continue to step 5. If you didn't previously purchase it you can install Tikdevil, run it, and install Pokemon Sun/Moon like described above and continue to step 5.
Legit Cartridge: Continue to step 5.
Step 5: Injecting the save
Now, run your game for the first time and after you get to the language screen, press the home button and exit out of the game.
Run JKSM and press Refresh Games. You can now navigate to one of the following.
Digital: Press SD/CIA and find Pokemon Sun/Moon. Press Import Save and press A on the name of the save you made and press A You're done! Play the game and pick up where you left off.
Cartridge: Press Cartridge and tap Import Save and press A on the name of the save, and press A again. You're done! Enjoy! If you can't import through JKSM, then you can also copy the file through FBI. Navigate to the SD card in FBI and find the jk folder. Open it and find the save for Sun or Moon. It should be named main. Press copy and navigate to titles and then to the cartridge. Press Import Save Data and press browse save data. Paste the save over the old main file.
