How to get games after being banned

This guide is for users that have been banned but never downloaded pokemon quest
This will work with other titles and demos
Devmenu will only work with pokemon quest as donor

Requirements:
  • Switch firmware 5.1.0
  • eXhop or similar tool
  • Internet
Instructions:

PC
  • Goto nintendo.com and search for pokemon quest
  • purchase it (free)
    • if your system is banned it will not push to your console
Switch
  • run eXhop now and download (you will need titleid)
or​

  • Go to your user/profile (left top of screen)
  • Go to User Settings and select, Update Download Progress
Beforehand; This is for the grey area people like me who actually buy all their games but have run into a ban recently.
And no I am not judging others but I want this to be clear before people are gonna go all apeshit about it :P

Ok this might be good to note;
A console eshop ban sucks BUT downloading games from the eshop is still possible without any tricks and through normal Nintendo ways;

1 - Just purchase the game you want through your pc using your Nintendo ID on the Nintendo eshop.
2 - Then on your banned Switch; Go to your user/profile (left top of screen)
3 - Go to User Settings and select, Update Download Progress
And voila your game will still download to your console just fine. (have tried this with 3 titles just to be sure)

No Console ehsop access my ass :D

This makes the whole ban a bit better for me ... sure I miss online stuff that way.
But no fiddling with CDN downloaders title ids and so on.
Now you will own your own copy of legal copy Pokemon Quest

Thank you for the tutorial. It's good to know that even if we're banned, we can still buy digital-only titles.
Honestly being able to do that, and updating already owned games were my biggest worries.

You cant download threw nintendo.com. You need to purchase the title then find titleid and use that with eXhop or I have read you can select "Update Download Progress" from your console and it will begin downloading.

I can confirm that "Update Download Progress" works for titles that you have not ever downloaded onto your console. It does not mean that eXhop is useless because if you delete the titles, you still have no way of retrieving them.

In an effort to maintain credit where credit is due, I have quoted the user who discovered this trick in the first place that includes the entire process. Please read below.

Sorry for late response, Do it with eXhop or similar app. You may need to be on latest firmware though
the thing is, I'm planning on getting a new switch for christmas so if I transfer this game to the new one will it ban the new one?
