Gaming Is it ok to play Pokemon Sun/Moon in Europe?

[crimsonnight]

Sorry, I know there are 100 Sun and Moon threads asking the same thing - I've read through a lot of them and the topic of playing in Europe before release has been brought up but I haven't found a definitive answer. Does anyone know what the situation is?

do not play in europe until after the 23rd, you would get banned

Dear Mr ,

Thank you for contacting Nintendo.

Your console has been blocked for online mode because you used an illegal prerelease version of Pokémon Sun / Moon.

The game is officially released on 23.11.2016 for the European market. Certainly, you can imagine that it is not desirable for Nintendo if illegal copies already exist.

The lock is therefore permanent and a reverse of it is excluded.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

(Why is this translation so good? xD)

look at this ^ from the thread

Yes this is ok. In France, all shops start yesterday to sell the game with the authorization of Nintendo France.

Remember the french eShop may not released yet. Nintendo of Europe didn't change the release Date.
I think if they see you playing the european eShop version (may they see where u are on the internet or your region) before the 23.11. they could ban you. Physical cartridge is safe wherever you are.

Australia is in the same region and the eshop game was released too. :/
It is possible if you change your region to Australia on an european 3ds (without hack) to get the game on eshop... So...

Of course, but most of us got a non Australian NNID linked to their console for poke bank etc.
They see you are playing online with the digital version (you send no header, but console specific IDs). They see you got a european (non Australian) NNID connected to your device. They count 1+1 together. I will stay offline until 23.11
