Current Events > Pokemon games will get rare once the shop shuts down later this month.

(+) Yeah! (+)

X and Y, Sun and Moon in particular. With no shop there will be no way to experience them at all beyond owning a physical copy. No digital shop means that entire regions are effectively dead until a remake comes like Let's Go for Gen 1 and BD/SP remakes for Gen 4 to bring them back into modern era of Pokemon. When the shop closes, only 26% of the entire series will be available to purchase and play. Granted they're including a lot of spin offs and such so that definitely inflates the numbers as opposed to only counting the mainline games but still.
