@theSLAYER

Yeah, I had legal items and enties, BUT not all of the enties I had before, because of the wrong save file ^^ I still have all Clothing active

That's interesting information.

I got banned. The only things I done was make fully 'legitimate' poke's and (what I think is the cause) gave myself all items. Every Pokemon was legal. 

Maybe you'll like to upload your save for us to see?

The save you restored, is "give all clothings" still activated?

It seems like at the end, you had legal amount of items, legal Pokemon and Legal dex entries.

So far, I would think that the issue is, have they banned anyone who received illegal Pokemon over GTS or Wonder trade.
I mean, come on, there are Dragon Type Arceus holding Meadow Plate on GTS, Shiny Tapu Koko on GTS,
and all kinds of nonsense that shouldn't be allowed on GTS.

As of writing, it appears that a second ban wave has been implemented, with around 7k users banned.

It'll be good to hear from affected users,
such as what they did etc.

 It never mattered before, but apparently it is now.

It mattered before, just not as strongly as now.

(Having full dex, including unreleased, can block GTS access. I think Gen IV and V was affected. I didn't bother to try with Gen VI)

That's why we thought bans like this would never happen based on having illegal pokemon, but it looks like they may have started doing it anyway.

By the way, do we know if these are these "permanent" bans?

Not sure.
Given how prerelease Sun Moon players are still banned, I'll say highly likely.

Granted, the severity isn't comparable, but if they dislikey, they ban-nie.
However, it seems like something easy to bypass.
(recreate save, get new sync ID, transfer sync ID, or something. its on gbatemp: http://gbatemp.net/threads/pokémon-global-link-note-says-almost-6-000-people-have-been-banned-online-for-having-altered-save-da.458837/page-11#post-7046850)

I think the minute you drag your save over to pkHex you give up your right for "innocence"  

Well the innocents I'm referring to people can easily be those who received an illegal Pokemon during local trading with their friends or something.
(and didn't know)
Given how their [GF] hack checking can sometimes screw up,
whose to say they there's a possible condition they thought was impossible, and hit legit players?

"genning Pokemon Legit"
Genning itself goes against the definition of Legit.

We aren't sure of how they got caught, but assumptions is they likely screwed up somewhere.
 

Maybe impossible shiny or impossible dex entry.
Or giving yourself all clothes or all dex.
Illegal Pokemon (but they didn't know it was illegal?).
Having >995 of a single item.
Or having unreleased items or Pokemanz.
Maybe the Game Sync tracks differences.
There's a new Pokemon in box, but no trade, no hatch, no bank, no capture, where did this pokemon come from type of scenario.
Maybe Change OT Name or TID/SID or gender or skin color after Game Sync?

Not really sure at this point.

This certainly is a bummer.
I mean, I'm glad the company is at least moderating what they should be doing,
but I think what's bad is innocents may get caught in the crossfire.

Perhaps there was impossible formes or impossible Nat dex entries,
or ridiculous values on saves (that seem like generated by powersaves, search as Item count).

Does online play include stuff like trading?

To my understanding the online ban only affects services that use your game sync ID,
such as rated battles and stuff.

I think GTS and Wonder trading (and normal trades?) aren't affected.

I don't use Game Sync and those services, but I can't say for sure.

I tend to not edit my cart's save directly, due to the possibility of this type of thing.

(I actually bothered to trade 40 Beast balls on 40 Pokemon onto my main cart, lol)

I've seen one save on Gbatemp, user at item x999 for every item.
Second user, had x600 berries, few slots of x255 Beans, Has an Incineroar with form id 6.

I followed this guide ... but I'm stuck in Step2

 

I get an error ... says that the ctrtool.exe file version is not compatible with the OS. (using Win7 32bits). halp u.u

I need a way to obtain the code.bin

I literally copied ctrtool.exe file version is not compatible with the OS and this is the first hit I got from Google:

Luma's region emulation only changes language setting, the 3DS is reported as the actual region and subregion. That's why I have a regionchanged japanese emunand.

Luma allows to receive other region events, but if you get the pokémon, it'll have wrong region data (but correct language).

Wait, you're saying luma never did region emulation? (I mean, you could change the region in the settings)

In that case, one may use NTR region emulation.

I was able to receive European Wi-Fi events on OR with the language emulation, however scanning region-specific QR codes in S/M didn't work, acted as if nothing had changed. Does S/M actually look at the country and not the language, when it comes to scanning QR codes? That would explain it.

you may need to emulate the 3DS region too.
(or maybe it checks against the save?)

I'm curious now, how do the injection QRs work exactly?

as in how the code mechanics works?

All I know is scanning from PKHeX with the patcher writes the code into box (whichever slot chosen)

It seems there is a lot of speculation around this. Most obviously it is players gaming on-line with the same software all around the world. Thousands of copies of cloned data from a single source going back and forth from local systems to N's servers shall definitively raise a flag.

How is it going by now?

Don't think its that, tho.
If I'm not mistaken, many of freeshop games are tickets that were bundled with a console on launch,
and I think those games tickets were the same across those consoles.

Right now, it appears that Nintendo captures what you're playing now and what you last played if your 3DS was connected to the network,
so if you had a homebrew title being captured as either of those, they log your console details down, then ban as a wave.

There hasn't been newer ban reports after users take measures to avoid that type of scenario,
but it could also be because wave is over and will come later..

I i'm still banned, but I tried blocking all the domains and still got the 003-2001; I unlocked and got the ban error

 

I don't understand Maybe I did something wrong with my router setting ... gonna look for it tomorrow

gtg to work T-T

Wait, this won't "unban" you.

It's just that if you weren't banned (002-0102), this may help reduce the 3DS' communication with servers.

Odd, my router blocks everything except for npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net and conntest.nintendowifi.net ,
and I was able to do a few battles and wonder trades just now.

003-2001 isn't a ban message, it's just that the 3ds isn't able to communicate with the necessary servers,
to validate and allow the online gameplay. (not the same as a ban)

Well, I tried blocking em' and always got the 003-2001 error ... ;s

not blocking conntest.nintendowifi.net  should resolve that (That's what happened to me..)

npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net

Thanks for the list!

Btw, blocking the above one may prevent mystery gift connections.
(not sure about the rest)

edit:
blocking conntest.nintendowifi.net prevents game sync and pgl usage.
(couldn't use battle spot until I removed that entry)

oh darn it that means i have to uninstall cfw for the time being

not necessarily, just don't go online.

(plus if you uninstall CFW, and update to 11.4, there's no other way to get back to CFW right now, I think)

I don't know how many times I have to say this,
but there is no point in attempting the unbanning procedures at this point,
simply because after you unban yourself,
They could ban you again

The methods listed doesn't create "an unlimited amount of Seed (localfriendcode)",
which means eventually you'll be run out of seeds to unban yourself.
(which frankly if you're lucky, you only get 1 extra seed from the same 3DS, before having to buy other 3DSs to grab their seeds to unban yourself)


What's important is for devs to identify how the 3DSs got identified/detected for the ban.
and until that can be prevented/circumvented, Nintendo can just up and ban you again and again.

So guys, time patiently to wait.

If I'm not mistaken, AuroraWright's standing theory is the titlelist is being sent to the server.
No more fancy FBI and JKSM from your home page; time to run HBL through Health & Safety.
(as well as disabling Spotpass information sending and Friends information sharing)

how long does the banwave last

The bans should be permanent, as per last time.

When will they decide to stop attacking in waves? No idea, we don't work for Nintendo
