Nearly 6,000 players have been banned from online play Pokémon Sun & Moon. In an official announcement it was revealed that the players had been banned because they had “engaged in unauthorized modification of their game data.”
You can read all about it in the announcement below which further details the full extent of the ban and what kind of actions will be taken in the future.
Thank you for using the Pokémon Global Link.
It has come to our attention that a small number of players participating in Rating Battles, Online Competitions, and Global Missions have engaged in unauthorized modification of their game data.
As a result, we have taken the following action against these 5,954 players:
– They will be excluded from the rankings of any Rating Battle they have participated in thus far.
– They will not be able to participate in any future Online Competitions.
– They will no longer be able to use Game Sync, play in Rating Battles, or participate in Online Competitions or Global Missions using the game with which they performed unauthorized data modification.
When affected players try to use Game Sync or participate in Rating Battles or Online Competitions, they will receive the following message:
******************************************
The connection to Pokémon
Global Link from this saved data
has been denied.
(Error Code: 090-0212)
******************************************
Going forward, we will take similar actions at regular intervals if we continue to identify players using game data that has been modified in an unauthorized way. If we identify that certain players are repeatedly engaging in such unauthorized behavior, further restrictive actions may be taken against them without warning.
We will continue to monitor and deal with unauthorized data modification as it comes to our attention in order to preserve a safe and fair gameplay environment for all users of the Pokémon Global Link.
We encourage all players to follow the instructions in the manual that came with their game in order to protect their saved game data and the Pokémon that they have raised. Thank you for your support and understanding.
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon is available for the Nintendo 3DS.

A new device may be in the works for Pokémon GO. In a recent interview with Nikkei, The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunakazu Ishihara addressed some concerns about safety with Pokémon GO, and revealed that, together with Nintendo, they are working to develop a new device that can help players play the game more safely.
Here’s Ishihara’s full comment about safety and the possibility of a new device:
“To avoid the danger, we also released “Pokemon Go Plus,” the smartphone-linked wearable device, so that “Pokemon Go” players do not have to always be looking down at their smartphone screens. Together with Nintendo, we are thinking of developing a new device that can be played more safely.”Though this possibility of a new device is interesting, it should be taken with a grain of salt since some information could be lost in translation. In addition, should such a device be in the works, it’s most likely still in the very early stages of planning.
Pokémon GO is available for iOS and Android devices.
