The Pokémon Company and Nintendo haven’t been too vocal about those who got Pokémon Sun & Moon early or by ill-gotten means, but apparently punishments are being meted out. Some players are reporting that their 3DS consoles have been locked out of online services, across all games. This affects both your Nintendo Network ID (which allows you to access any digitally purchased games) as well as your individual console.
This specifically seems to happen if players try to access any online functions in the games. Guess this is your head’s up. The bans occur in waves and there is no telling if players are in for another round before the games’ release.
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Worst Pokémon of Sun & Moon Showdown!
Lol
YESSSS
The Great Nintendo Purge is commencing.
And some people at one point were wondering if Nintendo would release the game early due to the leaks. Nah. But you’s gettin’ banned!
Get Rekt
Day 1 3D Mario. Must. Have.

Oooh!
Sucks to suck.
I am happy the people who where calling us wait***s on 4chan got banned.
Imagine Pokemon Z version, eclipse, delta emerald all being released on switch in full 3d
“dont you think banning them from everything online is too much?”
Nintendo:

Not really
boi, is a meme i know i am probably wrong, but i wanted to use that gif :p
Tbh I’d make any excuse to use them gif
Same really
you’re the gif master
That the least they should do
how is this a bad thing? do hackers buy content from the e shop?
I mean, if I got the game early I would have tried to stay away from online features with it, just to be safe until it’s official release date
thats what almost everyone of us did tbh
So wait……This effects people who have the actual game cartridge as well? Not just those who digitally installed by less than legal means? How would they be able to tell who is who? Sure Nintendo ID’s, but are they really taking the time to go through every active system and recognizing that they don’t have legit early access? Do they have a list of the people who actually have legit early access and are keeping them out of the search? Also yeah banning from everything seems extreme. People like to pretend that leakers and people that get the games early are in some way “evil” or “nefarious”, but at the end of the day not all of them are bad and many just got lucky enough to know someone. I know if I was offered the games that early I’d have a hard time saying no lol
Yous Nigga’s getting banned yesireee
Hackers rn

Imagine if someone in Europe got it after the 18th but before the 23rd, I’d assume they wouldn’t be banned
Apparently this will happen for some who ordered from Amazon, I would hope they aren’t banned.
So the Kahuna victory theme is a remix of the Gym Victory theme
Does that mean we finally got a Dark Gym Leader? :p
i wonder if that guy here that got the game early was banned hmmmm
i think the guy here was using citra not the 3ds itself
nah, SpectoralS. is using citra. there another guy, Armageddon(?) that actually got his game early, He is playing on the 3ds with a physical cartridge
oh ok. i didnt know there was two
So are the people getting banned gonna get the ban lifted off eventually or is it permanent?
permanent it seems
Sucks to be them….
I hope they clean up the S/M Wonder Trade / GTS out of hacked Pokemon… or even better, wipe it out just before the release.
The beauty of WonderTrade is you just tell yourself anything cool you got isn’t hacked.
I got a shiny mewtwo once haha .. it doesn’t feel safe.
Word of the wise: Don’t get online for a few days after the release just in case they accidentally wave again
Play with caution, not power, my friends…
I need these games. I wish I hadn’t used up all my PTO for the year cause Friday as work is going to be the longest day of my life.
So I just got reminded that this Friday is an in service day for my school so if Europe got it the same time as everywhere else I’d of gotten a full weekend of SuMo

Hands you a shiny version in trade.

And Gumshoos hair option.
