I get where you're coming from, put considering the type of thread we're in, the question asked, and the fact that I explicitely state my answer to be anecdotal, you have to admit you came on a little strong. It could have been done with a milder tone.
Yep went online with an XCI in SX OS, it was my fault 100%... I was doing what you mentioned above for months without playing online with cfw... smh it was like an impulse thing
Pokemon GO uses a BlueTooth connection to connect to Pokemon Let's Go. Meaning it doesn't make use of any Wi-Fi network and realistically, there is no functional difference between an .XCI and .NSP file. So I'm pretty sure Niantic doesn't care whether you own the copy or not, and since the connection is local, I don't see any reason for them to verify the copy. But in the rare less than 1% chance you or someone else gets banned for doing this, please let me know.
for sure. I think if I never turned off stealth I'd still have access. The only thing I really miss was the convenience of updates in OFW. Now I gotta stay up to date on which games have updates
yep went online with a XCI pretty sure has no cert on SX OS. I would advise you not make the same mistake I regret and connect to wifi on SX OS. Keep Stealth Mode on at all times period, it's on by default every time you go into SX OS, if you don't want to be banned keep it on lol. I was always connected to the internet on OFW. Maybe I was apart of a bigger ban wave but I think it has more to do with my console being flagged for coming online with a no cert LGP. I don't personally think it's mandatory to do NAND backup etc to play the game offline with SX OS but I'm the banned one lol nand backup is the only safeguard from a ban, right? I'd also look into the tutorials section for a thread on how to set up Emunand and still go online on Sysnand if you trust SX's emunand solution. Yep I think I mentioned that Smash might be the reason I might get a second Switch but not until I play it on this *ALERT*restricted*ALERT* switch lol.
With all the compromised switches nowadays I wouldn't trust any Switch off of Ebay or any second hand marketplace. What's to stop somebody from buying a new Switch, creating a backup, and putting it up for sale. Whenever that person wants to do something risky, they simply restore the image of the Switch they sold on Ebay, do their thing, and then afterwards they can restore the original image. I heard somebody talking about this on this forum last week.
I plan on getting two switch tablets just for that. Please update us if you get banned.
I am definitely thinking of using SD emunand. The beta release was yesterday, so I'm waiting for a little bit until they work out all of the bugs. SD emunand is the safest way of doing things I believe. A copy of your OS running on an external resource that can be removed at any time to boot into OFW, without a trace being left on the device of your violations of the ToS. They really upped their game.
