“Historically, we’ve been very agnostic, right? We go off what the consumer prefers, and take that into account very heavily. We also have a platform that was just launched. We’re barely just over a year into NS2. It’s got both digital and physical – that capability. There’s no plans to ditch physical. We know how much the fans like it as well, so our position has been to be agnostic.”



This!!! I hate it. Pokopia is only 7GB in size, so GameKey card seems feasible. But this is GF/PokeCompany. Like they got no money to spare for a full release game card.
…IT’S ONLY 7 GB?!
They TOTALLY could’ve fit it on a cartridge then! Even with all the DLC!
Supposedly S2 carts only come in 64GB, no smaller, and that’s allegedly the reason why smaller games don’t want to eat the full manufacturing cost of that compared to a much cheaper GKC.
Based on publisher leaks, there may be smaller carts now. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/12/cheaper-lower-capacity-switch-2-cartridges-could-mean-fewer-game-key-cards/
Poor pokemon company going bankrupt because of game card releases lol Imagine XD
