It has occured to me that Nintendo has made a huge effort and incentive to make retail games being downloadable through the eshop a great alternative to going to stores. What do you think of Pokemon X and Y being possibly the first main series games to be available through the eshop? Would this actually persuade you to buy the game directly from your 3DS or still buy the cartridge?

Do you think a special Pokemon bundled 3ds/ XL in the future would be a possibility with Pokemon X or Y being preinstalled on the 3ds? Given that Xerneas and Yveltal are blue and red respectively, the colors of the most common 3ds XL systems, what do you think of a possible special 3ds featuring the two cover legends?

I think there would be a possibility of an X/Y Bundle.

Personally I would buy the cartridge if I had a 3ds.
Downloading it makes it feel less special, its more like you have a rom than you have a physical game.
It's the same when I download emulators, it's just not right, for some reason.

I love cartridges, but I'm not shy to downloading after purchases.

I'd probably buy both cartridges then! ^^

Normally I prefer just downloading it, but for Pokemon Games I want the cartridge and box.

Having the box makes it feel more right to me. I've always played the games with the cartridge.
I think they will have the special skins on the 3DS's.. The extra bonus could make people want to buy them as well.
Having the game preinstalled would be good for convenience, not having to carry around the cartridge.

Also, if it was available through the eshop would that mean that could also do DLC's? Like with new areas, that have different pokemon (like from different regions, having 20+ jammed into one route is overkill imo). Could enable people to complete the pokedex without trading at all.

They will likely be cartridges since they are main series big games.  I don't particularly think it'd be on the e-shop.  However DLC could happen perhaps.. like Mystery Dungeon has been using DLC.

DLC for a main game would be interesting though it may be hard to balance. They need to make sure that any event Pokemon are not over powered but still worth paying for.
