I saw someone say they pre-loaded Moon.

That's a thing you can do with 3DS games? You won't get poo poo on launch day with a download wait? If so I hope I have enough room on my 3DS for one more game.

Yeah, but I dunno if the inevitable collapse of the store will break the decryption thing too

Nintendo recently started doing 3DS (and Wii U) earlier this year. I preloaded Fire Emblem Fates and I had no issues.

Yeah, decryption still takes a bit so you aren't instantly playing on release but its a hell of a lot better than waiting for the whole game to DL.

decryption actually goes through a different server than the download does. files are hosted on regular cdns, and then decrypted via connection to nintendo's own account servers.

Specially since this game's 3.2 gigs and the 3DS is pretty bad about its download speeds.

I think this is the first 3DS game I preloaded, how long should I expect the decryption to take?

It took half an hour for Fire Emblem Fates when I did that. So probably around that?

That problem still exists even in gen 7, e.g. when it comes to all those umpteenth mono Fighting, Water and Grass types, and the toucan looks to be Normal/Flying all over again as well after a single exception in 20 years (Talonflame). Gen 7 has some cool new combos like Poison/Fire and Dragon/Fighting, but gen 1 still has some unique ones as well like Ghost/Poison, Ground/Poison and Flying/Poison (only got an evo in gen II).

I'm still surprised that Gen II didn't retcon some Kanto mons into Dark types like they did Magenmite and Steel. Similarly, why isn't Voltorb's line part-Steel?
