Note: If downloaded as DLC, Pokemon Z won’t replace your X and Y game file and function as a stand alone game.

If it launches separately from X/Y, then your X/Y cartridge doesn't have to be in the 3DS slot? So how could they be sure you even own X/Y?

I could loan my copy of Y to all of my friends so they could download Z at the cheaper price. If each copy of X/Y would only authorize a single purchase of Z, it would be screwing over anyone who bought the game used.

It doesn't matter anyway, I doubt Game Freak would do this. They make way too much money abandoning all support for each game within six months and launching a new one at $40 after another six months.

Oh good point. Yeah they should probably make the game unplyayble if the card isn't in the hardware just like Pokemon Bank.

And I think DLC may have not been the best way to describe my OP. Will change it to expansion pack DLC.
