One NPC, a homeless man behind the Mercado Central, said: "No eres la primera que juega esto, xiqueta. La anterior borró su partida... y a sí misma." ("You’re not the first to play this, kid. The last one deleted her save file... and herself.")
Many users argue that NDS games are "abandonware" because they are no longer sold in physical retail stores. However, legally, this is incorrect. Nintendo actively enforces its copyrights, and titles like Pokémon Platinum or Black 2 retain high commercial value on the second-hand market. Furthermore, Nintendo offers remakes (e.g., Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl ) for the Switch, meaning the intellectual property is actively being monetized.
