Gaming Pokémon Global Link note says almost 6,000 people have been banned online for having altered save da

Making a backup should not be considered illegal

Making a backup of a cart you own, no.
However downloading one still is considered pirating.

I admit, me stance on piracy is "I don't care, as long as you know how to pirate"
But no one can justify it.

Yeah I purchase it. Sometimes after playing it though lol, like Pokemon Moon which I got for Christmas even though I played the leaked version lol. But I loved the experience of playing it while it was not out yet so there wasn't much information on the internet that could spoil me


I'm already using a 128GB card, exactly because Nintendo is annoying with their shit. And well, it doesn't feel good to have 16 seconds of boot time, just like what menuhax offers with a 32GB card.
And I would opt for several SD cards if I was not on a New 3DS where swapping carts requires removing two screws.

I don't know where you see me say it's not wrong by the way. I actually don't care about right or wrong. If there is no right way to get what I want, I'll use the wrong ones. Just like how homebrewers hack games to run their own because they are not allowed to otherwise.
That's wrong. They don't mean any harm. They don't have the choice. Use these three sentences with "and"s and "but"s where you want, it'll still be true.

Like I said, me stance on piracy is "I don't care, as log as you know how to pirate"
I also have read your message wrongly, apologies for that.

Did you just edit pokemon in? Or items as well?

 

[Sliter]

good! ^^

Trainer info modification, Item modification and overworld modification

I wonder if this affect stuff like fan translation? Like the chinese XY and ORAS fan translations?(since there are none other completed yet, but...)

 

[ElYubiYubi]

Items also

lol look at his item list (999)

 

[Guipradi]

lol look at his item list (999)

Here he have a confirmed cause, as I expected, 999 objects is imposible as far as I know

 

[Kyek]

I also got banned. Edited a few pokémon (all legal, PKHex check passed) didn't have anything unobtainable.
I sometimes edited a pokémon to have a battle item, but didn't have more than 10 of anything total.
I unlocked all the available clothes via pkhex.

That's it.

So the 999 items is not the only problem...

It shold have been the clothes then :/ Maybe Global Link takes track of those? Can i have your savefile?

 

[Sliter]

I believe people have the right to use their games in whatever way they wish,

actually not, the only thing you can do id play :B even the use of bugs that " are part of the game" isn't considered ok by the developers, but it most common on MMORPG...
anyway, about phisical games you can't even hack the music to hear in your cellphone xD changing the content is even worse...
let's start that you arent aloweed to hack your console, so everything you do with it hacked isn't really right in that point

 

[Kyek]

This is my save file, for "research purpose" lol
I wonder if I could avoid bans by:

• Creating a new save file and completing the game legit
• Importing the legal pokémon I need from the banned save file
  
• Connecting my new game to Global Link

 

[Ariolu]

I think that the item thing is only for illegal / unreleased content, right?
Could anyone confirm this?

 

[Queno138]

I agree that it is wrong to pirate and cheat, but let's move on.

I personally don't cheat myself, but I'll like to know what they're doing or how they identified cheaters.
I find these things interesting.

I assume that Game Sync tracks your stuff on PGL,
so what'll be interesting, is someone who hasn't used Game Sync,
but has cheated (PKHeX), gets blocked from a New Game Sync Creation.

I think that if you create a new savefile and unlink the actual game from the Global Link you are technically unbanned.

Researching as of now

Your Incineroar appears to be hacked.
It has a forme change.

(the one in VGC-T01 box. Form ID is 6)

 

[lapisex]

I have 999x of every apricorn ball, changed my money to the max amount, changed the skin color of my MC, gen pokémon all day and suprisingly I didn't get banned... yet.
I don't really know what the cause for the bans are. My save is totally edited.

you've got a gamesync ID?
done any battle spot/game sync activities within the past 3 days?

This timing, I'm wondering if it's Pokebank related.

Any users who changed TID/SID/OT name after getting their Sync ID and got banned, should voice out too!
