Gaming Has anyone gotten banned from playing Pokemon Moon online?

[HuskyXD]

"
I have both a legitimate copy, and a backup of said legit copy. I played the legit copy on my non-modded 3ds, and I have been banned. When I called nintendo and explained the situation, they told me it is indeed a 15 day ban. Oddly, no ban on the backup played on my modified 3ds, but I never went online on that one, and only used it to get footage for journalistic purposes.

But, YMMV depending on what you did, and if you've done anything in the past."



idk if someone posted this already but i saw this comment in reddit

I want to call BULLSHIT but how did you get a legit copy before official release date? And you're not from USA where we will get a copy in 2 days.

Seriously..... streamers and leakers better pray Nintendo doesn't go after them. The leakers might be protected, if they were smart, but streamers would be FUUUUUUUUUCKED. Best of luck to all of them. TBH, I don't think Nintendo will go after streamers, only make them take the videos down. Still though, takes balls.

So they're likely ban for playing it early even if it's legit copy.

is there a way to hack thru bank? i mean, like a pkhex that opens the bank so you extract the legit pokemon data with id, lvl, ribbons, memories, etc etc


i mean, i never used bank because i mostly do wiped-start to end in every pokemon game but i feel bad for those that maybe lost their pokemon and shinies and stuff

I didn't use my main twitch account obviously.

Do you get an error code when connecting to eShop? And which error code do you get for trying to connect in-game?

Broken street dates happen all the time, that's usually how copies of games leak early in the first place.

Could we flood Nintendo's support channels? They might fear legit customers' backlash enough to reverse the general ban.

I have both bans and I can't use free shop, I thought was like that for everyone. I can connect, but when I try to download a game it stops at 98% or so. It's just me?

i have both bans but freeshop works completely fine.

 

[osaka35]

Anyone getting banned for just playing the game with wifi enabled? Not using any of the internet related stuff in-game?

I'm at work and can't check. I just hope I can trade come friday. Hopefully it is just 15 day ban.

Yep, when I used to work at Walmart - We didn't even handle the NEW Nintendo games regularly, usually a vendor came in and did that case.

Yeah what a great idea, flood their support lines with "totally legit customer" complaints the instant a ban wave was rolled out to tons of known pirates.

They could have pre-orderd Sun and Moon and pretend they got it early. They could then play ignorance and say they didnt know the release date was the 18th and blame the non-existent store that sold it to them. Might work, who knows?

Yes, my friend went offline the whole time but with wifi enabled and setup, he got banned, too.

98% of people today in your situation have said they were not banned. If you have the leak cia, get a different one before you go online after release. The leak has a version number of 0, which is invalid. You will likely be banned going online at ANY point with that version.

 

[QuickQuestion]

And if this doesn't work, try creating an unlinked emuNAND partition on an unbanned system, and see if we can just generate an infinite amount of LocalFriendCodeSeed files

Can anyone with an unbanned + banned system give this a try?

Sucks for him.
I was playing it the whole time without using the online functionalities of the game with my WiFi still enabled and I am not banned.
