Goodbye 3DS & Wii U Games
01:19:07
We recap Decidueye Raids and our thoughts on the established formula so far. The Nintendo eShop is closing on the 3DS and the Wii U, meaning hundreds of games will be unaccessible going forward. This makes Pokémon fans worried about both Bank and HOME capability with older games, since Pokémon hasn't said much since their initial statements. Ball Guy comes to Masters EX. 00:00:20 - Introduction 🌐 www.pkmncast.com Ad this episode brought to you by Brilliant!
