Sorry, I'm a bit late to the party and haven't been able to read everything but I'm wondering if we have 'most likely' causal factor for the bans? There seems to be a bit of talk about having CIAs installed potentially being the culprit.
Because I'm a glutton for punishment and love a challenge, I have been trying to Nuzlocke the expanded version of NS. I actually didn't believe the creator; I absolutely believed it would be possible. It's not. Not if you run a legitimate Nuzlocke anyway. The furthest I've made it is Verdant...
