Trying to make an ID for pretendo in system settings (FIXED)

[random bane]

I already made a regular nintendo id and that worked but when I try to make one using pretendo network instead of nintendo I get this error, online services do work like mario maker 3ds mk7 and smash 3ds but not this

Change your language when setting up your PNID on your 3DS
I'm not joking, change your language on your 3DS in System Settings to French or Spanish

You can safely switch back to English or whatever language you were using before after you create your PNID on your console

OK LET ME TRY

[random bane]

Here?

[honest blaze]

No, however I have been made aware that there's a faster solution
Try making your PNID with the "(UTC-05:00) Indiana (East)" timezone instead

In easy to understand terms, certain combinations of timezone and console language settings can cause the 3DS to fail in sending what timezone it wants to set for the account you're trying to make, and the server really does not like this, Indiana (East) is a known working timezone

Let me do the email thing

Yes confirmed

Let me try mii verse

[honest blaze]

With your PNID linked and email verified, you should be able to access Juxtaposition

Yo ty so much

U should use this for any future errors

I was stuck on this for months and I only asked help on the 3ds homebrew server and I never got a response

[honest blaze]

The error you were facing is, although not well documented, we knew of it's existence and a solution
Until recently, changing system language was the widely used solution, it's just weird 3DS jank stuff and we're not particularly sure why the 3DS just doesn't send the timezone with certain combinations of language and timezone

Also I take it you mean you asked in Nintendo Homebrew for help with the error months ago?

[random bane]

Yes

U see the screenshot?

Ok well not months ago just like almost 2 i guess

[honest blaze]

Yeah, best case you will just be sent to us, worst case you get no answer

[random bane]

Some dude on ds hacking server told me to ask in pretendo nimbus server I never thought to ask here

Cause he said he knew 3ds stuff so I ask him

So I cant change my timezone back I think I wouldve preferred the language thing

[honest blaze]

Well, you're here now, and you can ask us for help with Pretendo in case you encounter any future errors!

Stuff such as region, timezone and what-not are not used as far as I know, so they have no impact on user experience other than what you see in the account settings page
I think you can change your timezone to a more accurate one through a Wii U if you've got one, but I'd need to double check, so give me a quick sec

Yep, you can change your timezone to a more accurate one through the "Change user information" button in your profile settings on a Wii U, but not on a 3DS or on the website yet, not sure if they'll ever be able to add that functionality to the 3DS, but only time will tell
