@TromaDogg I don't think that's how it works. If that were the case, people who use apps like FBI and other stuff that Nintendo doesn't allow would ALL be banned.
Also, 3DS calendar dates are a thing. I could start my Pokemon Sun save file tomorrow with my 3DS date set to 2004, and they wouldn't ban me for it.
Only those stupid enough to play the game's online features were banned, the rest of the pirates/reviewers/whatever actually have common sense and weren't.
Source: My friend who preordered the games wanted to play it early avoided using online features and he can still use the e-Shop.
("This isn't just stopping online play in Sun and Moon, but reportedly in some cases blocks access to the eShop too; for those with games they want to re-download, for example, that's a major problem.")
This actually isn't a big deal, how do you think pirates get their games? lol
@PaperMario64 Calm down, dude. They just want to play the game. People are primarily complaining because Pokemon Go's servers can't handle this traffic, not because "people can download the app besides themselves".
Worth noting that the app isn't out in my country and I'm not this salty.
Don't they say that every time a new Sonic game is in development? Just find a formula that works and stick to it, jeez. Colors and Generations were decent. Just make more like those.
I actually love all of the starters. Unfortunately my first impressions of the game itself are that it doesn't seem too different from X/Y, but I could be totally wrong. Either way, I'm still hyped.
@kenrulei As someone who only started playing Pokemon when Crystal was released, I find Gen 1 to be nearly unplayable. But I'm happy for the people who are anticipating this. My comment was poorly worded (Which is why I deleted it), but I just wanted to say that this isn't my cup of tea. If they re-released Emerald, however... I'd buy that instantly, mostly due to nostalgia .
Well, I always like to remain optimistic. Sometimes I'm disappointed, sometimes I'm not. Definitely looking forward to a lot of stuff coming to the 3DS, and Zelda U.
Braixen? I wasn't expecting that at all. Nice to see Kalos get some representation. Garchomp and Mewtwo are cool Pokemon as well. I hope we get to see more unexpected Pokemon like Suicune and Braixen in the roster.
Could be worse I guess. Not much that interests me, but I'll be buying the Smash DLC and maybe Fates (When it gets a European release date). Most of the games that I'm excited for are coming out later in the year.

Re: A Japanese Hacker Has Cracked The Famicom Mini Already
@Anti-Matter Have fun
Re: Pokkén Tournament's New Fighter Is A Bit Of A Surprise
If they added these new characters as free DLC on Wii U I would actually start caring. Looks cool though.
Re: Weirdness: 'Rich and Bored' Person Promises Free Copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Reddit Goes Nuts
lol
Re: You're Not Dreaming, Mario Pikachu Is Officially A Thing Now
Looks good, and it acknowledges more than one generation of Pokemon. Can't complain.
Re: Niantic Reveals What's Next For Pokémon GO
And I'm still waiting patiently for the game to come out where I live.
Re: Pokémon GO To Arrive In Japan Tomorrow Along With McDonald's Gym Sponsorship
Hopefully it will arrive in South America a few days after. I'm tired of waiting
Re: Feature: What We Can Expect From The Future Of Pokémon GO
A full worldwide release in all regions first would be nice.

Re: Pokémon GO Arrives in 26 More European Countries
Can't wait to get a hold of the game. Seeing it released in so many countries gives me hope.
Re: Pokémon GO Global Rollout To Resume In The Next Few Days, Trading Element Coming Later
I hope it comes to Brazil
Re: Nintendo Producer Highlights How Paper Mario: Color Splash Improves on Sticker Star
Still looks like garbage to me.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks You Should Give Star Fox Zero Another Try
...
lol
Re: Sega Placing "Huge Emphasis On Quality" With Future Sonic Titles
Don't they say that every time a new Sonic game is in development?
Just find a formula that works and stick to it, jeez. Colors and Generations were decent. Just make more like those.
Re: Poll: Did Nintendo Triumph With The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at E3?
It definitely looked amazing, but I don't think it was enough for Nintendo to "win" E3.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo's Expanded E3 Plans?
Not getting my hopes up because last year's E3 was awful.
Re: Guide: A Nintendo Fan's Breakdown of E3 2016's Press Conferences and Events
And there are people that justify this.
Also, the title is very misleading.
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Debut Trailer Confirms Starter Pokemon and Release Dates
I actually love all of the starters. Unfortunately my first impressions of the game itself are that it doesn't seem too different from X/Y, but I could be totally wrong. Either way, I'm still hyped.
Re: Nintendo Announces Separate Hyrule Warriors Season Passes for Wii U and 3DS
Sounds like a rip-off if you ask me.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Mario Spin-Off Series or Game?
Paper Mario, no question. Sticker Star kind of ruined the series for me but I still love the original trilogy.
Re: Review: Pokémon Ranger (Wii U / DS)
The second one was better.
Re: Why We're Still Playing… Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
Sun and Moon should take inspiration from HG/SS. Without a doubt the best Pokemon games to date.
Re: Nintendo Announces a Pokémon Direct to Get the Celebrations Started
5 minutes? Sounds like a Pokemon Z announcement trailer. So excited either way.
Re: Here's Exactly What Has Changed With Fire Emblem Fates' "Skinship" Petting Mode
If they didn't take away the benefits that this feature brings to the gameplay, I honestly couldn't care less about petting removed.

Re: Video: Chandelure Looks Predictably Weird in Pokkén Tournament Footage
What does Greninja have to do with Chandelure? It's not as if one can't exist if the other is there.
Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Is Working On New Paper Mario For Wii U
Please don't be disappointing. I hated Sticker Star.
A TTYD remake or rerelease on the VC would be lovely too.
Re: 13 Pokémon Movies Are Now Available on iTunes and Google Play
My favorite Pokemon movie is Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Shame they're not releasing that.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Wii U eShop / DS)
I like this game a lot more than Phantom Hourglass. Not as good as other Zelda titles, but both DS games are pretty great.
Re: Poll: Are You Optimistic About Nintendo's 2016?
Well, I always like to remain optimistic. Sometimes I'm disappointed, sometimes I'm not. Definitely looking forward to a lot of stuff coming to the 3DS, and Zelda U.
Re: The Princess Daisy Costume is Finally Coming to Super Mario Maker
I still don't understand why people like this character.
Re: Yes, You Can Scan The Shovel Knight amiibo While It's Still In Its Box
That's pretty cool. I'm still gonna unbox mine though.
Re: Garchomp, Braixen and Mewtwo Will Join the Fight in Pokkén Tournament
Braixen? I wasn't expecting that at all. Nice to see Kalos get some representation. Garchomp and Mewtwo are cool Pokemon as well. I hope we get to see more unexpected Pokemon like Suicune and Braixen in the roster.
Re: Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge Launches in Japan This Month
Looks almost identical to all the other games in the series. I'll give it a pass, especially if it heavily relies on amiibo.
Re: Feature: Exciting Wii U and 3DS Games to Play in the First Quarter of 2016
Could be worse I guess.
Not much that interests me, but I'll be buying the Smash DLC and maybe Fates (When it gets a European release date). Most of the games that I'm excited for are coming out later in the year.
