Piracy was never than big on the DS. At least nowhere near as big as it was for the PSP. I'm just thinking that Nintendo franchises are selling less this gen so why would it be different for Pokemon X/Y?

Pokemon has actually been pirated quite a lot. Even on VGC there are people who talk about playing their Pokemon games on other devices. (Games like Pearl/Diamond HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White.)

Also, not every Nintendo franchise has been selling less. Quite a few are actually breaking records. (Animal Crossing/Fire Emblem, as well as Super Mario 3D Land do very, very well.)

I am just looking at numbers provided by the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association. DS piracy is nowhere the level that it was on the PSP.

And Fire Emblem seems to be outsold the GBA one by the slightest of margins, AC:NL is far from the sales of the DS one. And SM3DL doesn't even begin to the Mario games on DS.
