Gaming Pokémon Global Link note says almost 6,000 people have been banned online for having altered save da

[UltraBlast93]

I also changed all to zeros and still got the banned message.
Use an old save or mine to get a new GameSyncID, Unregister your game from the GL account and wait til Tuesday, then replace your SyncID from your banned savefile with new one and re-register again. In the meantime clean your savefile and make it legit and legal as possible.

Wow! Is this actually verified and confirmed to be working?
Also, what is exactly causing the bans? I mean, for example, would increasing the Festival Coins or modifying the number of eggs hatched/Pokémon caught or getting all clothes or increasing PokéFinder votes cause the ban? I am quite worried about being banned

Guys, if you want to make this a lot easier, use PKSM instead of PKHEX. You won't have to keep going back and forth between computer and 3DS.

Also, if you still are planning on doing stuff, there is a Mass Import seting in PKSM that can import every Pokemon into boxes so you won't have an unregistered Pokemon.

 

[LifeMushroom]

"If you gen pokemon by editing your actual savefile in PKHeX and importing that savefile, stop doing that. Use PKSM and Servepkx to send .pk7 files you have created using PKHeX to PKSM. You will not be modifying your game unnecessarily this way. Also the pokemon you get in this manner do not get registered in your pokedex. So it is a bit safer than using PKHeX to edit your savefile directly."
How about this?

Guys, if you want to make this a lot easier, use PK3DS instead of PKHEX. You won't have to keep going back and forth between computer and 3DS.

PK3DS is a rom editor, I think you're referring to PKSM where there is a mass importing option.

"If you gen pokemon by editing your actual savefile in PKHeX and importing that savefile, stop doing that. Use PKSM and Servepkx to send .pk7 files you have created using PKHeX to PKSM.

Who said that? Editing through PKHex alone in terms of genning legal pokemon yields the same result, inasmuch that whatever genned pokemon comes up that isn't in your dex, it doesn't register in it until you get it from a trade, encounter it yourself in the wild (or if it's a legend), or leave it in the Nursery and withdraw it (not too sure about that). Once again, genning legal pokemon has nothing to do with this ban, even using the PKSM method, you're still editing the save file, which of course they don't like, but they're targeting more suspect modifications, such as trainer gender modding, OT/TID/SID changing, unreleased pokemon and items (maybe). Really, most of it is speculation, but I'm ridiculous sure that genned legal pokemon don't cause this ban.

That's fine, but why bother? Does it NEED to have your trainer info?

I wanted to get to get my daughter the Mew Z crystal being I already got mine, so I used the get all Z crystals code on Power Saves. This of course included the two illegal crystals. Is there a way to get rid of those? I don't use PKHex, just Power Saves.

Restore an earlier save with Powersaves or use PKHex, it can't be that hard to install it.

 

[Gary The Great]

Or people need to be updating PKHex, the nightlies, or if they want to play it super safe, wait for a stable release and don't mess around with things they don't know about.

oh yeah forgot the wondercard, thanks for the reminder

I restored the most recent save on her card with Power Saves. This took the illegal crystals away as well as the Mew crystal. I then did a Game Sync, and she was able to log into Battle Spot and GTS. So her file should be okay now?
