Hello folks;
I have the same / typical error for both of my scarlet and violet save-file (NTSC). Just for the record, its a legit game (No roms) and I am in OHIO USA.
Side note:
I am not banned.
I am not locked out.
I am not closed in anywhere not even in E-Shops. I can see deals and sales on games.
I checked with NINTENDO SUPPORT and they confirmed with me that I am not banned at all.
Problem:
Every time I connect online for surprise trade or to receive an online gift, the game saves and then it freezes. In the end, I receive this error message.
I also cannot use the synchronizing machine in the DLC - CLUB ROOM (Indigo disk) because the game will also auto-save and then freeze in the end with this error message.
Pokemon Home will not read my files anymore.
Troubleshooting steps:
I turned off auto-saving feature.
I cleaned / cleared out my SD-CARD plus deleted all third party applications.
I even formatted my SD-CARD.
I deleted POKEMON SCARLET and VIOLET DLC files/ patches and redownloaded 2-3 times throughout these steps.
I went through my inventory and took out items through PKHEX making sure all the items are legit.
I checked and verified with PKHEX that my save file is valid (CHECKSUM). Its valid.
I checked and confirmed that my NINTENDO ONLINE subscription is fully validated and active.
I performed all these tasks and its now on 3.0.1. However the error is still active and no trade/ gift is accessible along with POKEMON HOME not responding to my file(s). The actual game works fine and I am able to play the whole game (travel, catch pokemon, battle NPC etcetera).
Please help.
Any advise is helpful.
If you want, I can upload my files here with JKSV.
