No uploading of Scarlet or Violet saves

[Atrius97]

As of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Gamefreak/TPCi/Nintendo have shown they have the capacity to validate savefiles that connect online, linking them to a specific Nintendo account.

What this meant in Legends: Arceus is that publicly uploaded savefiles would block anyone else who attempted to use them online, (aside from the original Nintendo account associated with the savefile), from accessing any online features. 

While we haven't yet had any reports of the same blocks occurring in Scarlet or Violet yet, we are operating under the assumption that they still have the capacity to validate savefiles, which means they may pose a ban risk for both the original uploader, and anyone using said publicly uploaded save.

We are currently removing any Scarlet or Violet save that anyone attempts to upload. Any uploaded will be removed with notice.
Additionally, all savefiles uploaded in the future are being screened and approved manually by staff, before appearing publicly.

What you can upload, (as these don't appear to pose a similar risk):

• Save blocks that don't contain identifying information, (such as clothing blocks)
• .pk9 files containing individual Pokémon & .zip files containing multiple .pk9 files
• pcdata.bin files containing full box data

For your sake, as well as others' sake, please don't upload Scarlet or Violet savefiles.
