Yeah true, I would just assume Nintendo will use some new anti piracy methods with the new pokemon games (and probably smash bros) seeing as they're very popular. Gateway are pretty slow to update anywayWell it all depends on if/when gateway release this update that solves 7.x encryption, long as they aren't using any newer protections they should be fine, so far there hasn't been any new mentions of any new encryption methods but only time will tell once they are released, 7.x encryption was known about a few months before it was even implemented on a retail cart
