Hi guys, i just sign up the forum now i think is great and i wanted to ask you guys something, i got banned yesterday and obviously i am pissed off.
I used pkhex a lot for competitive pke to for online WCS battle, vgc17, and no problem till yesterday, i didn't even know that there was a chance of ban i am new with pkhex i use it since decemb.
Now, there is something that i can do for clean the save i don't know what could i do for play online again? i think i got banned because in the box i had something like marshmadow ecc just for fun, i didn't use illegal pke in online like ever, only legal pke online with legal items ecc.

Same as me. I only had it in the Box just for Fun and never went online with illegal Pokemon and still got banned. Youll need a new save file

No. All you need is a new save file that has never been connected online in other words start a new game. IF you happen to have a backup of your save before creating the SyncID like me then import that save file back to your game and create a new SyncID but to register the game youll need first to UnRegister your old game/save from your GL Account cuz you cant have 2 of the same game in your account (for example 2 Pokemon Moon) even if they have completely different save files but what you can do is convert the savefile in PKHex to the opposite game then import it, do everything and then you wont have to wait for the maintenance.

The reason I shared my Savefile was because some people dont wanna play the entire game again so you can use my save file. But even if my Savefile doesnt have a SyncID nor have never been online idk if changing the TID and SID is a bad idea.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

thanks, so i should use my exact save , and my exact sync ID but in the opposite game(in my case moon) and then it will work? i wanna be sure
No that wont work. Your banned save file is lost

I tried everything from changing the TID/SID to use it in the opposite game and didnt work, Unless someone find a way to really unban the save file(If that ever happens cuz didnt happened with ORAS).

i am sorry but i don't undestand english very well so i can seem stupid, i get the thing of the save file ok, i'll use yours and change in sun with pkhex by trainer info, i did this, but now my id sync is : sdmz-3rcw ecc.. , this one is banned now, so i have to make another one no? how could i? what should i do on PGL site? this is what i dont get, im sorry thanks for help i'm sure i will do it some how hahah

should i do this option that i found in the PGL site? "request for the erasing of the registration of this copy game" i translate it i dont know the exact words, is in the account settings page

I believe people have the right to use their games in whatever way they wish, as long as it doesn't affect other people. If it doesn't affect other people, then I don't consider it to be cheating (I don't care if you or Game Freak do).

If anything,this kind of hacking can only do good,as itll be easier for people that dont hack to get these pokes.

And,as far as my experiments have gone, GTS is the only place where these hacked pokes are allowed.

Havent done any battles yet,but i plan to do the same thing Ive always done to pass my hacks underwater.

Breed 2 hacked pokemon to make a legal pokemon with OP stats.

Does that still work?

I'm probably banned as I injected some previous gen pokemonn I didn't know they weren't allowing that until a future date. Meh, I rarely play it anyway, haven't touched it since launch.

The people that got banned were playing it around the time the wave occurred, if you haven't touched it since launch you most likely weren't banned.

guys please i dont know what i'm doing wrong but it says: one copy of the game had already being registered with the same version of the game.
I created the sync ID with the save file that i downloaded, with "moon" selectioned in trainer info ( i have the copy of Pokemon sun) then it said so, i even tried switch in "sun" and made another id sync but it says the same thing.

If i used PKSM to give the Mewnium Z to a Pokemon and then removed it and put it into the bag, would that be considered illegitimate? I got the Mewnium on the same day it was actually made avaliable

If that would trigger the ban, I suppose I could remove it when I'm editing the unobtainable shiny dex entries out of my Pokedex and then inject the actual wonder card

Also, I need clarification, do Pokemon transferred from Gen 6 into Gen 7 using PKSM end up causing the ban as well? It would be unfortunate if they do, because two of those Pokemon are part of my main team...

Hope for the best, expect the worst. They posted an English translation, if anyone cares.

Thank you for using the Pokémon Global Link.

It has come to our attention that a small number of players participating in Rating Battles, Online Competitions, and Global Missions have engaged in unauthorized modification of their game data.

As a result, we have taken the following action against these 5,954 players:

- They will be excluded from the rankings of any Rating Battle they have participated in thus far.
- They will not be able to participate in any future Online Competitions.
- They will no longer be able to use Game Sync, play in Rating Battles, or participate in Online Competitions or Global Missions using the game with which they performed unauthorized data modification.

When affected players try to use Game Sync or participate in Rating Battles or Online Competitions, they will receive the following message:

******************************************
The connection to Pokémon
Global Link from this saved data
has been denied.
(Error Code: 090-0212)
******************************************

Going forward, we will take similar actions at regular intervals if we continue to identify players using game data that has been modified in an unauthorized way. If we identify that certain players are repeatedly engaging in such unauthorized behavior, further restrictive actions may be taken against them without warning.

We will continue to monitor and deal with unauthorized data modification as it comes to our attention in order to preserve a safe and fair gameplay environment for all users of the Pokémon Global Link.

We encourage all players to follow the instructions in the manual that came with their game in order to protect their saved game data and the Pokémon that they have raised. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Somehow this made me understand the ban more. I think having unreleased and unavailable pokemon would qualify as one reason, changing gender and OT/TID/SID would be another. As far as genned pokemon, that's really nothing because if you imagine it in the legit world, it's getting them from a trade, or you're just super lucky with the capture and breeding and you were hardcore EV training (which can take less than 30 minutes). I'm curious too about Dittos. In my experience you cannot legally have a 5-6IV Ditto, I tried to chain for one, 700 Ditto chain, not one 5-6IV Ditto appeared. In ORAS I'd say it's possible because the max stars is 3 for DexNav chaining, but I caught 4IV ones. Of course, not just Ditto, any chained pokemon can't be caught at 5-6IV. Just a theory on that.

Incidentally the game I do a bulk of requests and tested out Marshadow for a bit (removed it right after) never set up Game Sync. Really though, the bright side is that it's only GL activities, you can still trade and do free battles and such. If the Ratings Battle and Online Competitions ban bothers you, search for some leagues to sign up on. I hope nobody blames PKHex for this.
