Nintendo banning those playing pirated copies of Pokemon Sun and Moon
When Pokemon Sun and Moon leaked at the beginning of the month, many uploaded it online which lead to many others downloading the game, according to Siliconera.
Sites such as game community GBATemp have threads featuring instances of users with early or illegal copies receiving the error code 002-0102 when they attempt to get online with the game using their 3DS or visit the eShop. A message stating “This device’s access to online services has been restricted by Nintendo,” is also received.
A representative for Nintendo confirmed the bans to Kotaku with the following statement:
“As a result of a number of Nintendo 3DS users using unauthorized versions of several games, and connecting to the official game servers in violation of our terms of service, these users’ Nintendo 3DS systems that stored the unauthorized game code have been banned from Nintendo’s online network effective immediately.”
Don’t play pirated games, folks, and if you do happen to get a legitimate copy early, play it safe and don’t go online early.
Pokemon Sun and Moon will be released in North America on November 18 and Europe on November 23.

Haloextrememasters1 Personally the only pirating that should be allowed is just to test if it runs on your pc once it runs delete it then buy the game off steam doing cause your too **** cheap is unacceptable. Also this wouldnt happen if devs made a small 30min demo to test it out.I think even if they made a demo people would still get it by pirating
But that's the thing. they did have a demo back release early october.

Tele Don't play Nintendo but this is the right thing to do, support the developers!
It's dumb to steal games but they were all hype that they could get the game before it was even out. I could see where some people would do it :/

I don't play pirated games, feels like a scummy move to do. Buy the bloody game and support the developer.

I was one of those people (I did have the game preordered so I planned on buying it). Also you can just get around your ban by changing your friendseed.
