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

[guisadop]

It'd be interesting to see if you are banned

I did something similar, I traded away many Solgaleos, Lunalas, Tapus, etc. on GTS and nothing happened to me, it seems that as long as your Poke is accepted and it goes away, the most likely bet is that you're safe

ontopic: Not like I could use Global Link anyway, whenever I tried to access the site the thing just reset'ed on me and I wasn't able to use it, not only with me but this is happening with several users of the website, even for those who don't even know how to hack a Pokemon game, so I kinda gave up at using GL at this point, best thing to do is to ask someone to battle with you or just do a free battle on battle spot, seems like a better choice to do in the long run anyways

Connected and GameSynced normally: no ban, people.

I've used pre pokemon mons early before Pokebank release and also plenty of genned stuff. No ban for me. From what I've heard the ban only impacts your ability to use ranked battles (rated Gamespot). That and I believe the people who were banned might have attempted to use super illegal stuff like mons with bad EV stats for example. What ever it was, I didn't fit that criteria.

EDIT: Also note servers seem to check for valid Pokéballs now. I had to fix my Skitty that used to work fine in gen 6. But in gen 7 I had to give it a different pokeball.

Found something interesting:

1. Make a backup of your save game
2. Get a save game from this thread and inject it into your game https://gbatemp.net/threads/pokémon-sun-moon-save-game-event-sharing-thread.448481/
3. get a sync id from the computer in the festival plaza and save
4. export the save and open it in pkhex
5. copy the game sync ID from the SAV tab
6. open your original backup save from step 1
7. paste the game sync ID into the SAV tab
8. undo any modifications you did to the save before you got banned otherwise you will just get banned again.
9. import your save with the new game sync into your 3ds
10. you will now be unbanned but you will lose your win-lose ratio etc

Law of the jungle, baby. Only the strongest (or in this case, the smartest) survive.

Won't that mess with your Global Link? After all, they store the Game Sync ID too.

Not good. Why use public Game Sync ID when you can get your own private one?

And what do you mean by the smartest. If it's people who backup regularly, it won't work. Already tried.

The fun from wasting days and days of your life breeding for perfect and shiny mons?

Yes, I take a legally obtained shiny or perfect IV pokemon over 100 cheated ones any day of the week.

And I'm still going to propose this:

Here's how the unbanning method worked in ORAS era:

1. Unlink the game from Global Link.
2. After it's done, back up your old save.
3. Start a new game, then reach the Festival Plaza.
4. Do a Game Sync with your PGL account and retrieve your ID.
5. Back up your new save file.
6. Open your new save file with PKHeX. Find the Game Sync ID field and copy that.
7. Open your old save file with PKHeX. Find the Game Sync ID field and paste the one from the new save file.
8. Restore your old modified save
Voila! You're unbanned with no data lost

Ok heres my clean Save File After the Elite4. No GL and no editing except for my Team so I could finish the Pokemon League fast

Its the same Game

yeah obviously just make your own from a fresh save. The other steps are good tho!

 

[DarkCoffe64]

I mean people that don't make super illegal pokemans or make changes to the game that will obviously get them banned.

Gonna try that. If it works, yay.

Please report back, and specify what changes you reverted!

The downside is that you need to wait until next maintenance to unlink your game from Global Link if you want to do everything clean

Where do I go to unlink my save? Or is it in the Global Link page?

Is that why you can't create a new Global Link account right now?

 

[Elveman]

It's in your account on Pokemon-GL site
