Trust me, I would love to play older versions of the games as well lol

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you all meant earlier when it was said the release of older games didn't set the world on fire - leave me alone, Rol - but it seems to me they were pretty popular on the 3DS eShop:

The eshop domination was due to FOMO because the 3DS eshop was closing. That happens with every closure, the best games with the biggest followings get the most purchases. But having the 3DS eshop close was a "set the world on fire" situation for any pokémon fan. Now if they want to transfer old pokémon they can't unless they obtained and paid for their Pokémon Bank service apps. Big sad.

And those older games are still such a blast to play, especially on official hardware. It is so nice.
