Over 5,000 Players Banned for Hacking Pokémon

According to Serebii.net, The Pokémon Company has announced that 5,954 Pokémon Sun & Moon players have been banned for “altered save data”. Although normally nothing to worry about for people who do not try to hack their games, there are a number of legitimately obtained Pokémon/move combinations that can erroneously trigger the system. No cases of false positives ending in a complete system ban have been reported, but it is something to keep an eye out for.

Players will know that they have been banned if the error code 090-0212 appears when they try to connect to online functions. It prohibits participation in Rating Battles, competitions, and Global Missions, as well as use of Game Sync.

Hopefully this will not cause any issues for players bringing in many new Pokémon and movesets from older games via Bank.

  1. Yeah some of their hack checks were preeeeettty sketchy. It was pretty evident during the Bank transition during Gen 5-6 where a lot of legit events were not getting through; and when that VGC player with the Dream Ball Aegislash was just let through just fine…

  2. Oh yeah, you should all be careful of evolving things Poketransported from Gen 1 that have later gen evos… I’ve heard reports there’s problems with Blisseys, Eeveelutions and the like…

  3. today’s episode was interesting
    So Bewear is definitely holding them hostage
    They’re still in contact with Team Rocket
    James catches a Mareanie…..which has a…..crush on him
    And apparently Mimikyu’s disguise can be removed and its shadow body can move freely underwater (don’t know if it needs to breathe)
    And the terrors of the sea are….Pink

    • If it wasn’t for bewear this would be their most capable team yet. Really hope they try to catch it but I don’t see that happening as it would make them to OP. Also that Mimikyu has issues….

  4. “there are a number of legitimately obtained Pokémon/move combinations that can erroneously trigger the system”

    Could you be more precise? Which combinations are those?
    I am afraid now to use any Bank pokemon with complicated egg move chains :/

    Reply
    • Well, I can’t think of a bannable combination, but here’s a somewhat-related example.

      In Emerald, you could get Mew from Faraway Island and catch it in whatever Ball you wanted. In RBY, you could catch it via a perfectly legal glitch, also in any Ball you wanted. However, every other method to obtain Mew is from an event, in which case it comes to you in a Cherish Ball.

      From what I understand, Pokemon Bank is doing the Cherish Ball check on Mew, which would make any Mew obtained from the aforementioned examples “problematic” and unable to be sent to Pokemon Bank.

      I don’t think it can get you banned, but that combination is pretty much along the lines of what you were asking. I doubt you would get banned for egg moves, though. Hopefully that helps.

      • also to add certain legit Pokemon like a shiny jirachi which is possible to get if its the jirachi from the extra CD that came with Pokemon box I think. Also the special 10 anniversary pikachu with fly can’t be traded either

        Reply
  5. Is it going to be triggered by hacked but “legitimate” Pokemon? Like, say, you used action replay to change the nature of a Pokemon?

    I’m all for banning people who have Pokemon with illegal move pools, but let’s be real here. There’s no difference, aside from time spent getting it, between a Pokemon that has been hacked to perfection and one that has been bred to perfection in the exact same way.

    • Technically Pokémon hacked into the game can cause files to become corrupted. Especially when done incorrectly, or with malicious intent (to purposefully corrupt people’s files), so I also understand it from that point of view. Especially if these Pokemon are allowed to be traded e.t.c…

      Reply
      • Save data corruption from edited or genned mons is nearly impossible in Gen 7 games. The game can interpret a pokemon’s data values (even if they’re impossible to achieve through normal play) without problems because, unlike previous gens, these values are standalone and aren’t used to calculate anything other than that single pokemon’s stats, moves, level, etc. This means that your save file would have to be edited with something other than powersaves or pkhex (e.g. editing the game data’s code/text or changing values that aren’t accessible through pkhex/PS) in order for a chance of “corruption” to occur. Even so, pokemon are hack checked for legality before they can even be put into the GTS or wifi traded.

    • Ehhh its not so so bad, the real struggle is NidoranM with its hidden ability with everything but attack

      Funny story how I actually got mine, long ago there was this guy who went by Maple, and during the time we were frivals since we shared a love for Mamoswine, but one night he was stressing and thinking about leaving the site for good until he got his life on track, so I decided to sing him Landslide by Steavie Nicks, and during the time I was hatching Nidorans but at the very end of the song, I hatched a Male Timid Nidoran with Hustle and everything but Atk. He felt better and I had my Nidoran which has been a staple in my Earthen Warriors

  9. So since work is hella slow why not bang out a Fakemon
    So I need to start thinking about Gym leaders, Team Quake Admins and elite four and champion
    And the Champion of Eyanu is Freya, a naturalist and environmentalist, who truly loves nature and the life blooming in Eyanu region (a real flower child)
    Which inspired her strongest Pokemon line

    The Seedling Pkm (originally the Do-Nothing Pkm)
    Grass
    Chlorophyll/Natural Cure
    A very simple Bean shaped Pokemon with chibi eyes and a large leaf sprouting out of its head, tiny leafs at its base to use as either hands or feet
    “Beannik do nothing but sway and bounce in the sunlight and breezes, Their leaves produce an aroma that creates a sense of euphoria”

    Next into
    Flowyrchid (needs some work maybe Florchid)
    The blossoming Pkm
    Grass
    Chlorophyll/Natural Cure
    This Plant Pokemon resembles a young child, pale green body with long gold and green hair of grass, it has numerous flowers on its head, no visible legs but it has a grass skirt that “floats” with a bright cheery face with long eyelashes
    “Positive and upbeat, they spend their days collecting plants and scattering seeds, it dances happily at sundown

    And finally
    Fleurmonious
    The Spiritual Pkm
    Grass/Psychic
    Chlorophyll/Natural Cure HA: Serenity Aura (prevents all Pokemon from being afflicted with status effects)
    A tall vibrant humanoid Pokemon with extremely long hair of grass reaching the ground filled with tiny white flowers, a wisely flowing gown of green plant matter and delicate hands, it has a ring of flowers around its head and neck, deep soulful eyes and lastly a pair of leaves on its back that can be used as wings
    “Fleurmonious revere nature at all costs, they feel pain whenever the environment is damaged in any way, they gather in large groups to breathe life into forests to protect them

  10. I realize 6,000 is kind of a drop in the ocean compared to the number of people who actually play Pokemon, but I gotta say I’m a little nervous now……I have 2 hacked Pokemon that I know of. The first was a shiny Shaymin I made back in gen 5 so I could complete the national dex just by touch at the very least. The second is AZ’s Floette which I got just out of curiosity and just wanted to see her in action. Both of which I would never use online for any reason in general due to them being hacked. Shaymin might be ok as I was able to not only bring it up from gen 5, but also put into Bank without it even noticing. That much hasn’t changed. Floette I’ve never moved from my Y so I suppose that should be ok too……What I’m afraid of is if I’ll get banned simply for having them period. I’m not very competitive, but I’d like to be able to at some point if the mood strikes my fancy. I’d never cheat, but this has me nervous. I really hope that since 6, 000 is such a small number com[pared to the number of actual players I won’t be one of the unlucky ones……also the fear of any of my legit Pokemon looking like a fake is also scary. they need to fix that at the very least…….

  11. So I had a friend trade me a shiny Buzzwole which was obviously hacked since they don’t exist and I knew it at the time, but stupidly made the trade anyway and didn’t think much of it. To avoid the trouble should I just release it? Thanks guys.

  12. So again is it just HAVING hacked Pokemon that gets you banned or is it the act of trying to use said hacked Pokemon that gets you banned……I really don’t want to get banned simply due to be having a single on in my Bank somewhere……..

    • Yeah they aren’t really being clear on that point (or maybe im just not understanding?) But I think it’s trying to use hack that gets you the ban

      • I would hope it’s actually trying to use them that gets you banned. Just having them shouldn’t be a crime lol If it’s just having them then many more innocent people could get banned when they aren’t even doing anything to cheat…..

  13. So is the number of banned people set to 5,954? Or is that number to grow depending on when they find you? Like is this a set check they did and if you’re not on the list you’re fine or is this just how many have reported being banned as of yet?

    Reply
  14. Like, I still haven’t transfered anything from Gen 6 to Sun&Moon. I simply tested if I could still put some of my legit event mons in Bank (like Shiny Xerneas & Yveltal, which I heard were being blocked) and it worked as normally. I guess the problem is in Sun&Moon then. Bank is fine.

    Reply
  15. Maybe they should implement a system that marks hacked pokemon, like what ever system they have to tell hacks from legit pokemon the should just put a “H” on the Pokémons info screen if they deem it a hack that way trades and battles will be a lot more straightforward.

    Yup possibly the most cliché Bug type on a Top 10 list, but ever since Gen.4 when I got a Heracross card I loved this thing, yet never used till White being my first foreign Pokémon I ever got in Unova being a power house and able to sweep some of the most pesky Pokémon. Also Fun fact it is the Pokémon second to Starters I have used in the most games being Emerald, SS, and White

    Hint for 4 is: This thing hails from Sinnoh and is the only Pokémon in history with this Type Combo.

    • Misc Notes:

      With Alola Forms and the Pikachu blank spaces, Gen VII Kanto Livedex is larger than the previous largest portion, Gen VI Unova. However, I personally find it bland and forgettable compared to the other portions besides Hoenn.

      Without seventeen butterfly patterns and twelve extra fairy flowers, and a pumpkin patch of varying sizes, Gen VII Alola is actually the smallest portion of my Livedex to date, even factoring in OC Magearna and Marshadow. As it was the last part I needed to complete, it did feel underwhelming immediately after completion: however, imo its much more visually rewarding and I find the Pokémon more individually recognizable

    • As much as I think Pokemon GO is bad as a video game, I kinda agree. It was a fun experience, especially since I was on vacation during its peak. It was fun walking around on the beach and around town hunting for the infamous growlithe. It was definitely the best part of my summer, but I don’t think it’ll ever be as fun as it was then. Mainly because EVERYONE was in on it. I could go around, and everyone else was looking for the same Pokemon. I could ask where something was, I could take a gym and have it taken back or reinforced, I could walk on the boardwalk and see team mystic shirts being sold by small souvenir shops, it was truly amazing. I don’t think we’ll ever see a mobile game turn into a global phenomenon (one that actually gets people MOVING and INTERACTING nonetheless) so quickly like that for a good long while. It was really something, regardless of whether people like it now or not.

Even if it isn’t the exact same thing, my parents have been fighting nearly every night now and even some mornings for a few weeks, and by the end of the night everyone’s just exhausted. I’m getting somewhat numb to it but that’s beside the point. It really sucks to see people close to you depressed and distraught, I know. I hope it ends soon and everyone feels better. Just keep up hope!

    • I can relate too much
      My mom’s a complete narcissist, so she likes to make everything about her.
      I’ll be trying to help her with something (like adding two fractions), and when she gets frustrated she’ll completely burst. Tell me I’m a horrible teacher (great way to encourage someone who wants to teach), that I’m being mean and condescending, that we just want to see her be stupid etc.
      So then I say “Well fine then. You can figure this out yourself.”, and I’ll leave. Then she’ll burst out in tears saying how cruel we are because she does all the work around the house (which she doesn’t), and we never help her, and the one time we actually try to help we just give up. So I’ll explain that I don’t want to teach someone who’s just going to get pissed off whenever I try to help. Then she’ll go into her “You’re all so ungrateful. I bet you wish I wasn’t your mother, etc. etc.” rant. And sometimes it gets so bad that she’ll leave the house and go drive somewhere else, completely in tears.

      It’s hard to sympathize with her.
      You just need to let your mother be alone. Don’t let her drag you into this. You need to help her directly when she’s willing to accept the help, and indirectly when you can.

    Since Trial Captains are automatically booted from being a captain at twenty, at least two if the Akala Trial Captains would become Gym Leaders (and maybe Illima too, but I’d rather Guzma be Hau’oli’s Gym Leader) and we’d have replacements for most of them

    Hau would become Kahuna as Hala is E4, the Akala Kahuna would be the Akala Captain that isn’t a GL for the same reason

    You’d complete the island trials and battle the Kahunas in a predetermined order, then taking on the Gyms and then the E4

    Sophocles and Mina perfect their trials

  45. Team Vaccine: Team Vaccine, despite the benevolent sounding name, are some of the cruelest individuals you will ever meet. They dress in what can only be described as a mixture between Hazmat suits and vampire cloaks. Even the grunts are to be feared as they have items called “Ability Vials” equipped on their Pokemon. They are ruthless and focused on a single goal, making even an encounter with one of them possibly fatal. Their goal is to “perfect” the pokemon world through splicing. It is said Poison, electric, and ice types tend to be their favorites….

    Void Callers: An extremely dangerous group of individuals with the desire to plunge the world into a never-ending state of shadows. No one knows the reason for why they desire this, but they are adamant on achieving this goal. They strike down all in their way with a shadowy fist (literally). The moment you cross one, all know who you are. The group is said to function a bit like a hivemind. As expected, they love Ghost and Dark type Pokémon but also have an affinity for Psychic types. While the grunts may be weak like most teams, the higher ups have terrifying teams.

    The Golden Sharks: A seemingly average group of pirates who plunder whatever they see. While they do not appear special in any way, people tend to mention that they seem to have a larger goal…

    I can’t share more about Golden Sharks without spoiling…

It is known for creating fields of electricity around itself and zipping about through the water to collect energy and to attack enemies with hit and run tactics. They occasionally latch onto Chinchou to feed on their electricity.

    FINALLYYYYY!!! I get to work on this one! And yes, this the water starter…. also this one is easily one of my favorite designs yet

  49. Ooooookayy wow.

    So there was a Twitter bot that uploaded images and text posts from the Undertale subreddit. It basically stole a bunch of art because they never asked the permission of the artists. So someone pointed it out and flooded the bot with images explaining that the bot was stealing art and the bot creator stopped it.

    Then here comes this random artist messaging me that I ruined their life because they relied on that bot to post their art because they didnt want anyone knowing the original creator was them.

    • Plz let Undertale fandom be a dead meme by 2018

      The games wonderful and some fans are awesome but

      Eww

      • I hate that the idea of this “horrible trash fandom” (The fandom is mostly fine I dont understand why people think its so bad) is taking the spotlight instead of the game.
        Because the game is amazing and insanely clever but everyone loves to rave about how cancerous the fanbase is

        Reply
        • Because even if they’re not the majority, a big number of the fandom are cancerous and genuinely horrible people

          They’re just trying to shed light on what other Undertale fans try to sweep under the rug

    Hopefully they have one left when I get there (earliest would be like 7 or so, ugh). I’ve already missed the online for BB, GS, and Amazon, and I’d really like to have one for BotW (even though having a joycon in each hand and being free to move your arms sounds pretty nice lol).

    • The Phoenix Cave in FF6, the enemies are always op there -_- another section I hate is the cultist tower where you can only use magic with a disappointing boss battle where you just need to cast berserk and then summon phantom and you just automatically win and the reward is way too op and you probably didn’t understand anything that I said :v

    • I can’t think of a personal least favorite, but here’s what comes to mind:
      – Haunted Mansion (SM64)
      – Anything where I’m temporarily blind (i.e. when you can only see during lightning)

      Honestly that’s all I can think of, even though I’m sure there’s a bunch of places that I despise.

        • Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably a fantastic shooter. But it’s just that. A shooter. The only shooter I’ve actually enjoyed is Splatoon, because it feels unique in that the main premise isn’t some sort of war, it breaks other shooter conventions, etc.

          Plus the praise it gets is sorta annoying. I’ve played less than my fair share of shooters, but it doesn’t seem all that different from your typical shooter other than it has more well-defined characters and it’s more colorful than the typical grey and brown theme of most shooters.

          Reply
          • Isn’t every shooter sort of like that? There’s always an objective and you always have a team…
            I can’t say for sure, if I’m being honest. Shooters aren’t by any means my genre, so I could be totally wrong here.

            it still sucks tho. 😛

          • No it really isn’t play Call of Duty or Battlefield then go play Overwatch. The only real comparison gameplay wise is that you shoot things in third person

          • I wouldn’t say that, that makes me sound shallow for having an opinion on a game. It’s not like I played 1 game, lost, and never played again. I gave it plenty of time to grow on me, and it never really did.

            Don’t be bothered by my anti-Overwatch comments, I’m not trying to ruin the fun for people who enjoy it, I’m mostly just teasing the people here who do. 😛

          • Tbf I’m not into shooters and overwatch is like the only shooter that I like watching gameplay videos, but yeah, that’s probably because it’s more colorful and the characters aren’t something you find in your typical shooter

  52. It’s a shame it seems that interest in the Pokejungle League died down. Maybe for lack of attention? Anyway, if you’re interested, my Gym thread is up on the forums where you can set up a battle! 😀
    I’m currently the only Gym Leader set up though, last I checked. So I can’t say how worth your time it would be.

    • I’d LOVE XCX2!! They can’t just leave the story at a cliffhanger like that! It’s almost like they just didn’t have a good way to end it.

      I don’t care for Bayo games, ew.

      The Switch launch year looks great for me, I loved Splatoon and XC so I can’t wait for the sequels. BotW looks absolutely breathtaking (pun wasn’t intended, but I’ll take it), and I can’t wait for another sandbox Mario game! Plus another new animal crossing game! One can only hope.

  63. From GameFaqs:

    “Apparently from what I’ve heard, Game Freak hasn’t lifted the lock on certain things despite bank update being available for Sun and Moon. I tried trading my event Xerneas that I redeemed on AS earlier and for whatever reason, it was blocked from trading.
    You’re not the only one with this problem; hopefully Game freak fixes this real soon.”

        • Emulate it. It was never released state side and the English patch is easy enough to find. Plus its actually pretty good, barring Kris who’s kinda lame compared to Robbin and Corrin to a lesser degree. Their also kinda broken units as well, but that’s the nature of all My units. It’s also one of the few fire emblem stories that is actually pretty good, all be it rather sad.

          • Hmm, I’ll consider it, since I’ve been pretty bored lately. The only real issue is that my laptop doesn’t run very well anymore and I’m not going to risk an emulator on my family desktop, so idk. Maybe I’ll see if my laptop can run it, who knows?

          • It probably can given it’s a ds emulator. And you’ll probably like it. It still suffers the ugly animations of Shadow dragon, but its a solid game over all.

    • What if nintendo has waited so long because they remade the entire series in one game???

        If they announced Mother 1 + 2 = 3… all three games remade in 3D Wind Waker style and you don’t see me posting anymore… it’s because I died. I died of hype

        • I know that’d make some fans really really happy. For me personally, I was never able to get that into Earthbound, but I’d give it another shot, I guess.

          Also, why is it that when everyone was asking for mother 3, THEY LOCALIZE MOTHER 1??? Was anybody really asking for that?

          • Dream game for me?
            Honestly…. I don’t know. There are just too many series that I love, I can’t choose just one. DP remakes would be up there though.

      • It’s actually a secret code…
        Take a closer look.

        $o$

        hmmm… what does this look like?

        S.O.S!!!

        But what does that have to do with anything?

        Well in 1994, this weird cult called Family International created a series of really catchy songs which make you feel weird for singing along because its a cult full of crazy people who did bad things to children but never the less they made this song called S.O.S which is actually freaking great

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ZBT4Rdly4

        The baseline sung by the Japanese business guys is morse code for S.O.S. Pretty clever huh? But hmmm…. Morse code… Samuel Morse! The creator of Morse code! he was born in 1791.

        In 1791, the American Bill of Rights was ratified. The first amendment is freedom of Religion, Press, Petition and Speech. Take the first letters of those.
        SPPR… What could it stand for?
