Somewhat dumb question but I figure that it's important to get nailed down, especially with Pokémon being a topical thing here.

Let's say console A is running homebrew/save editors/backups/whatever and gets banned.
Let's also say that console B is completely stock. Never booted to RCM, no homebrew, nothing.

Then, in a local multiplayer game (Mario Kart 8, Pokémon, Mario Party, etc.) console A connects with and plays with console B.

Is there any risk to console B being banned also?

They wouldn't do that. People play local multiplayer with strangers and even banning someone's friend's console would be quite fucked up.

While I'd be inclined to agree with you, this is a case where it's good to know a definite answer.
I was hoping someone who had internally seen the Switch's telemetry could chime in to see if such a thing is communicated through local play.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
