  1. For anyone who blocked all the hostnames posted previously, to use Pokebank with Pokemon Moon (and i presume Sun) you need to unblock:

    • npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net
    • eou.cdn.nintendowifi.net
    • cp3s.cdn.nintendowifi.net

    You can use Pokebank with GEN 6 games with all the hostnames in my previous post blocked, you can also use the GTS on GEN 7 games with all the above hostnames blocked.

    Pokebank seems to require the above hostnames unblocking for Moon and Sun though.

    Figured out by unblocking the additional hostname until I was able to connect, then re blocking them until I narrowed it down to the above three.

  2. I finally got around to checking if I was banned or not, I appear to have got lucky so far *touch wood*

    If its of help to anyone i've posted as much info as i can provide below:

    What I did / didn't do on my 3DS:

    All I really do on my 3DS is play Pokemon, it was always at the back of my mind to be careful not use use Homebrew or apps like SaveDataFiler with WiFi enabled, although I know I have done that by accident once or twice in the past. If I had used Homebrew or something like SaveDataFiler offline I would always load a game before going online so the Homebrew app wasn't my most recently played title.

    The majority of content installed on my console is from legit CIA's, I had never used FreeShop. Instead of dumping my own gamecarts and converting them to CIA's I simply installed the legit CIA's created from pre-installed games found on certain consoles. Any legit CIA's I've installed I also own a game cartridge of, which I have used to play online at some point.

    Their is a difference between legit CIA's and user created CIA's. If you were to remove CFW installed legit CIA's would still work as normal, where as user created CIA's, or installed content from FreeShop would not.

    I've had Homebrew CIA's installed and an out of region Pokemon Green that i dumped from my JPN 2DS console, I was never online when playing out of region games, although have been online and loaded homebrew apps by accident (not recently though). I also imported Pokemon from my JPN Pokemon Green though Pokebank on a PAL console, which obviously is not possible to do on a non hacked 3DS.

    Sending of info via SpotPass and automatic downloads had been disabled since I got the 3DS.

    What did i do with CFW on my 3DS?

    All I use my 3DS for is Pokemon, I used CFW to backup my Pokemon saves, inject my Pokemon saves from an actual GameBoy in to the VC re-releases of Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow, along with injecting wondercards in to GEN 6 games. In addition I have used Homebrew apps / emulators installed as CIA files and form the Homebrew launcher.

    What have I done before going online again?

    As per theSlayers original post I have cleaned up and locked down my 3DS up as much as possible.

    The only thing i didn't do was "Use GodMode9 to clear my Activity Log" its been mentioned on other forums the local activity log is not sent to Nintendo and Nintendo is actually keeping their own logs about what you are doing online.

    My router is now blocking all the Nintendo hosts I previously posted except conntest.nintendowifi.net, which breaks online functionality when blocked. (That's actually a good way to verify your blocked hostnames rules are working or not)

    Everything on my 3DS homescreen is now legit. Anything that wasn't is deleted with the tickets cleaned up and the icon / home menu caches cleared. If i need to use the Homebrew launcher I plan to inject it in to the health and safety app when offline, use it, then return the health and safety app back to stock before going online again. I have pre-created files ready on my SD card to inject and remove from the Health and Safety app on the go.

    I've also deleted the Luma payload from my NAND as i figured Nintendo is more likely to look for something that could have only got there with hacks, rather than the SD card which is very easy to copy files to / from.

    End result:

    My 3DS boots to the Sysnand via the Luma 7.0.5 CFW (I will update to boot9strap in the future to use newer Luma versions) however the Sysnand doesn't have anything on that is not legit. If I get banned now it's likely i'm already flagged or Nintendo can actually detect CFW.

    I don't really plan on going online unless I really need to though. I'm currently working on finishing my GEN 7 living Pokedex of which I have most the Pokemon I need, it's just a case of breeding / leveling them up now.

  3. d0k3 over at GBATemp published a list of hostnames the 3DS uses, the two hostnames your 4chan guy posted are on that list, along with a lot more.

    Check and hosts updates:

    nus.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net

    Connection test:

    conntest.nintendowifi.net

    eShop specific:

    ecs.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    cp3s-auth.c.shop.nintendowifi.net

    Additional:

    cas.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    ccs.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    ccs.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    ias.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    pls.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    npul.c.app.nintendowifi.net
    cp3s.cdn.nintendowifi.net
    eou.cdn.nintendowifi.net
    npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net

    Apparently if you block all the above the following won't work:

    • Updating the 3DS FW
    • eShop, as that won't start unless it could check for an update first
    • System Data Transfer, for the same reasons
    • Anything that requires access to the update servers.

    What works:

    • Browsing the internet
    • Playing online
    • Basically, everything that is not in the 'doesn't work' list will work

    Theirs certainly no proof either way blocking any of the above will stop the 3DS sending data that will get you banned back to Nintendo, however for people that are going online you could certainly let the 3DS talk to a lot less servers and still have online play functionality by the looks of it.

    I saw this info and thought I would share maybe its true maybe it isn't but I figured there's no harm in letting you guys know anyway. The person who said this, said there is 6 more links. I don't know anything about all this technical stuff though lol. Anyway do with this info as you will it was shared on 4chan so it could all be bogus.

    Do you have the other 6 hostnames (links)?

    If you have a good router / firewall you can block devices on your network from connecting to:

    pls.c.shop.nintendowifi.net
    npul.c.app.nintendowifi.net

    In theory if you block all the hostnames the 3DS uses to call home you can be connected to WiFi knowing the 3DS can't send data back to Nintendo.

    I block updates for the Wii U this way, my router looks for any traffic coming from my Wii U's local IP address, then if it's going to any of the hostname's ive added to the WiiUServers hostname alias, it will block the connection. The end result is I can play Mario Kart online, knowing Nintendo can't update the Wii U in the background, patching the exploits used for homebrew.

    Even if that did work we don't truly know all the hosts Nintendo might use to gather data, even if we we're confident we did blocking them could well break online functionality anyway.

  5. Oh i never knew the Shiny Magikarp was limited, that's a shame! I have a Gyarados fully powered up and almost 500 candy to evolve a Shiny Magikarp if I ever happen to get one.

    Currently i'm trying to hatch a Pichu with a cap, sadly my last 10 2k eggs have all been Goldeen, Spearow or Geodudes. The first 5k i put on did however hatch in to a Magby, which i think was the only baby Pokemon i needed.

    Yeah, but I'll it be like a normal item system, where you can hoard all the raid passes and go all out on a weekend or something.
    (but I guess it's done the way it is, to ensure there's users playing everyday)

    I agree, it's a lot to pay for.. and I'm not at a high enough level to take on higher raid bosses.
    (CP maxed out, need other players to join in for harder ones)

    Oh same here, i'd have loved to be been able to do loads of raids this weekend when I was actually playing with other people I knew.

    I'm the same level as you looking at your screenshots and i can't either, I think even if we were 5 levels higher you'd still need a few people for something like a Tyranitar.

  7. With the free raid pass i noticed if you have one in your bag and don't use it the day you got the pass, you can use it the next day and still a free raid pass that day too, allowing you to do two free raids in one day. I was able to do a Croconaw and Exeggutor raid on Saturday, both with free passes.

    I think two days worth of coins (presuming you max out 50 per day) is a lot for a premium pass, just to have a chance at one raid.

  8. Cheers! I'm impressed it let me catch it on the 3rd or 4th ultra ball. I once found a wild Togetic which literally took me a good 15 mins to catch, 30+ raspberries and ultraballs later I finally got it. No idea how that never ran away!

    The games the total opposite around here, I have to walk 25 mins to the nearest gym lol. Thankfully there is one Pokestop 5 mins from my house so I can easily keep the 7 day streaks going without too much effort.

    Nothing used to spawn around here, however late last year Niantic added a lot more spawn points so I can walk around the local streets and catch Pokemon now.

  9. Wow haha that's a lot of Pikachu, they must spawn very frequently near you.

    I managed to get another 5 Pikachu today, my brother hatched a Pichu with a cap too.

    Then for the first time ever a wild Dragonite spawned in the park when we were there, nice to finally see one in the wild a year and two days I started playing!

  10. Yup that's Cleffa, the only baby Pokemon i need now is Magby i believe.

    I have egg hatching issues too, I always seem to hatch the same thing, 10k's always seem to be Pineco, 5k's Ponyta and 2k's Goldeen. I dont spend money on the game though so I only have one egg on the go at a time which probably doesn't help.

    Although to be fair with the new Gym system i've probably got around 250 coins this week, which is 250 more than i've managed in the last few months. The type advantage and having people come back to berry their Pokemon on the gym really helps. Before the gyms here would never change, the level 35+ players would seem to dominate them so i'd either always be at the bottom of my own teams gym and get knocked off, or just not have the desire to take down a level 10 gym from another team.

    Below are my Pikachu and Raichu event collection, I have at least one of each from the past events so far:

    Nice one, was that a 2k egg obtained this event?

    It took me 6 months to hatch my first Pichu so ill be surprised if I manage to get one!

    I do however have 3x Cap Pikachu's, i got two in town and one was waiting in the garden when i got home :)

  12. Someone from the Facebook group for Pokemon Go in my town went halfway around the world to attend this event. I've attached any non identifiable screenshots and photos that were shared, I imagine in years to come such images might be difficult to find info from this event. Apparently Unown spawned quite frequently and you could spell Chicago with the ones which spawned.
