Part of the online functionality of Pokémon Sun & Moon is being taken down next year, as the Pokémon Global Link will be removed next year.
Despite being a lifelong fans, some are exhausted by the frequency and quality of modern Pokemon games

sword and violet just made me tired of the current format.
they rly traded a cohesive story and Lore for open region.
As much as a fan of Pokemon I never was one to buy every new gen or spin off or remake. I bought Red & Blue. Played Ruby for a few gyms on PC. Played a bit of Fire Red again on PC but didn't buy a new entry until Black. After that I bought X and Moon. Then Let's Go Evee and Sword. Lastly I bought Violet. So it's hard for me to burned out on Pokemon.
I always enjoyed these game until the newest ones. The open world is sooooo bland. I missed walking into some random house and getting a cool trade opportunity. Hell, I miss jut walking into buildings. There are not a lot of interior spaces in violet. And a motorcycle is not a pokemon. I don't care how mythic or whatever it is.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.
Despite their flaws, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have been so popular that sales have already surpassed Sword & Shield.
Because it’s an actual good game, gameplay wise. If we could get these mechanics on an actual updated Nintendo machine then it would’ve done even better.
I love pokemon, but the games are starting to feel like they were made by an indie team in 1 year with no money and no QA
For being the most financially successful franchise ever, you'd think they could spend time and resources making an extremely polished experience.
