Bad fish.

I really like the fish named itself Rowaway.

I'm bowled over by this comment. I understand it was a fin-ancial crime..

Not great at Pokemon, but very adept at credit theft and trolling.

I'd say it's rather good at Pokemon. I mean, it's the only fish I know that completed a pokemon game!

The craziest part about the whole story to me is Nintendo granting the refund

This story had me hooked from its headline.

So do you not get a notification to email or something when a purchase is made on Switch?
Or is this fish just really that crafty?

I thought it might be bait and fish, but that was a red herring

The fish cost him 500 yen, which is $3.86 American. I wouldn't have bothered to ask for a refund.

Emphasis on "seemingly". I think the fish is being let off too easily here.

You’ll be alright, if you tackle it from a different angle.

It's about more drama content for the stream rather than getting money back.
That_guy1425 t1_j5af2g7 wrote
Its that guy who set up a motion capture on his fish bowl to play pokemon games, he did it previously for pokemon sapphire. While doing the new violet, the game crashed to the switch home page while still accepting inputs and the fish managed to open the Eshop and buy something

More like Rowawa¥ (with a monetary symbol), which is far funnier to me given the "heist" angle

Polymersion t1_j5aux35 wrote
They named themselves ROWAWA¥, money symbolism and all.
Just wait for the new album where they talk really fast (by fish standards) about how they pulled it off and don't feel sorry about it, and maybe something about guns and women.

I remember my mom had nintendo refund a digital DSi purchase after I bought a game without her permission. they refunded her but in turn, my console/account was completely barred from using any credit card. Years later I called them back to try to undo it because I still use the account to this day. I had to explain the reasoning but thankfully was able to undo it.
