Pokemon Sun and Moon players getting permanently banned by Nintendo

[ultros7]

They banned everyone. Reviewers, pirates, and people who got carts early. The literly took the entire list of people online and banned them.

If these bans aren't temporary then there's gonna be a sizable fallout.

damn! I better check to see if I have E-shop access then. I'm guessing they are taken down videos too pulling this stunt

 

[xtheman]

lol well that's one way of doing it. Do you think N couldn't differentiate between pirates and legit owners or they just didn't care?

99% of them online were pirates so...

I honestly think they didn't really care.

Nintendo gotta make that money of all those poor saps buying new 3DSs because they got console banned.

As long as you didn't play online your safe.
I would recommend you backup your saves and delete the game until it comes out in your region

Blackstone's formulation comes to mind.

I believe Ninty thinks since they are banned they must buy another console and so that will give them money (especially because Black Friday is close)

Aricle on GBATemp, source: nintendoprime. Their source: Kotaku. Their source: GBATemp and 4chan

Now I'm happy I waited.

I'd say @Yandere-chan is a little far from the pulse, in an ironic sort of way.

yeah im safe still can access Eshop only did a link trade to my other 3ds, but it doesnt have a Nin ID lol I wonder if my save will work with a cartridge game
Its the only thing preventing me from buying 1 now

 

[CeeDee]

I played it... While I was online... But I didn't play online modes in the game. No ban yet, I can access eShop and friend list fine.

Even if you didn't play online, you are NOT safe.
I NEVER played Pokemon Sun or Moon online at all. I never connected to any of the Sun or Moon servers. Just having the 3DS connected to the internet must have been just enough to warrant a perm-ban.

I DO have a NNID tied with the new3DS that was banned, so that could be what flagged the system.

If you have a NNID associated with the system, do NOT have your 3DS connected online AT ALL or you could be banned.

Are you sure no one else took your 3DS and played online? Afaik nobody that got the leaked game and didn't played online haven't been banned. I still can access online games / services (ACNL , ORAS, Youtube) and eShop with my 3DS and i haven't played online

Not a single ban from those with wifi on.
By safe I meant you are not banned. I stated to delete and back the saves of the games.

I am the only one that uses my new3DS.
I have no other siblings.
I never connected to Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon's servers.
My 3DS was connected to the internet when I was screen capturing Pokemon Moon when I was using NTR Viewer/NitroStream and sent the Memory Patch. Outside of that my Friends List settings was: Show Online Status, DO NOT show game currently playing.
I have a NNID associated with my 3DS. I cannot play any games online, and I cannot access Miiverse.

@xtheman166 I had my Wi-Fi on, and NEVER played Pokemon Moon or Sun online AT ALL. Yet I was banned. Care to explain? Perhaps Nintendo just decided to ban me out of the blue for no reason?

(I believe that you got banned btw, im just asking because im really curious)
Have you hacked online on XY / MK7? (Even through in MK7 you dont get banned, i say this as experience since i hacked FTL there).
Did you used Local Multiplayer ?

 

[DJ91990]

I never hacked online in X or Y.
I never hacked online with Mario Kart 7.

If I had genned Pokemon in X or Y in the past, I never used them online.
When I play online, I play fair. Yet I'm being treated like a cheater.

You might have gone online without noticing it. Did you go into the plaza? If so you played online

I remember entering there however, as soon as i was able to i got out of there. I haven't entered since then

No, the plaza stays Local Wireless mode untill you tell it to go online.
