I called and told them I bought the new Pokémon game for my son from a local retailer and now it does not work online. they said that the game was not authorized to be distributed at time of purchase, the ban is only temporary. they didon't not say length but it's tempDid they tell you that it's temp ban, or it's just what you say? Other person was told that it's perma.


Called NOA. They told me the same thingin another tread, Nintendo France (reporting a NoE advice) said the ban is permanent
People that stole the game and say in theyr face "hey I'm playing your game before you want me to". Yes, strong reaction. (see the sarcasm?).Very strong reaction to permanently ban just for playing a game early. Leaks happen all the time, broken street dates, etc--too harsh for what could be legitimate customers.

You know you can redownload some stuff you have install by a cia, like the legit ones, right?And denying access to online servers on games to pirates I understand BUT WHY block the eshop? What if a pirate wants to buy a game for once? Now they are kinda forcing them so pirate it.

Without the access to the eshop you cannot redownload stuff as far as I am concerned without any hacks. So Nintendo is encouraging people to redownload (or rather reinstall. I have a cia backups of all my eshop games that I created through.... Argh what was it called... Goofy cia 2 or something like that) their stuff through haxes and exploring the homebrew scene more deeply if you have not fully explored everything yet.
Denying eshop access just does not make sense to me. Perhaps I am missing something
I just spoke with Nintendo about error code 002-0102 and they said they are taking the use of pirated games very seriously and all systems that recieve this code are permanently banned
Could they have slipped something into the S/M code that detects a pirate version of the game? Nintendo seems pretty confident about this pirate banwave and they shouldn't be, considering playing the game early could've been an honest mistake. I didn't get banned because I knew the high risk of going online with a leaked unreleased game, but I'm thinking that maybe we're not safe even after release with legit .cias if they've somehow slipped something into the code.
Someone more knowledgeable than me could confirm whether this is possible?

Bought legit copies this morning, version code is 0, for Sun at least. I haven't checked my copy of Moon.Some people are saying its the version code that was cleared to 0 instead of the real version code. The version code is most likely being sent to Nintendo when the game connects to the server, what is also being sent is most likely the 3DSs info maybe serial number and some other keys.
Don't you ever know a Chinese pirate insulted Masuda in Twitter?Very strong reaction to permanently ban just for playing a game early. Leaks happen all the time, broken street dates, etc--too harsh for what could be legitimate customers.
