A Background In Real-World Methods Of ROM Games
Now it seems that there are thousands of players who have been banned from online features after being caught altering their save files. Over 7,000 Pokemon Sun and Moon players were just banned from online functions, such as Game Sync and multiplayer battles, according to fan site Serebii.net. This follows a ban wave from January in which just shy of 6,000 players were also banned.
The bans occur in waves and there is no telling if players are in for another round before the games’ release. The Pokémon Company and Nintendo haven’t been too vocal about those who got Pokémon Sun & Moonearly or by ill-gotten means, but apparently punishments are being meted out.
Some players are reporting that their 3DS consoles have been locked out of online services, across all games. This affects both your Nintendo Network ID as well as your individual console.

Nintendo’s actions aren’t completely without precedent. Back in 2009, Microsoft banned hundreds of thousands of Xbox Live accounts that it determined were using mod chips to play pirated games or cheat online. This is the second wave of players being banned from online play; In January nearly 6,000 players were banned from online play for using hacked Pokémon. While the Pokémon company will never be able to ban every cheater in the game, hopefully, these bans will discourage players from hacking in their Pokémon. Many players have admitted to using GBA emulator hacked Pokémon in competitive play, which is highly looked down upon because it bypasses the time it takes to breed that competitive Pokémon that I and other players bred legally.
It’s a reminder that The Pokémon Company does not go easy on those who try to play Sun, Moon and other Pokémon games other than how they were intended. In 2013, following the launch of Pokémon X and Y, more than 1,500 players were banned from competing in an online tournament because they used hacked Pokémon. This specifically seems to happen if players try to accessany online functions in the games.
