So yesterday I went to buy a Pokemon game as a present for my little cousin. With all the Pokemon Go hype, he wanted one of those, so I went to see if I could find a cheap copy. When I saw the prices, I was stunned. The price for both X/Y and OR/AS just went 4-5€ more for a new copy and more than 20€ for an used one. Some retailers who sold it for 28€ an used copy are selling it now for almost 48€. And it seems that some online stores (and some retail ones) say that the games are out of print to keep the used prices higher than the new copies. They are not out of print, obviously, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the website, you have to go to thestore and ask for a new copy. I just wanted to buy a game, dammit! But now I'll wait until the prices go down again, maybe by Sun/Moon's launch.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
