Why? You should have expected it. No system has had more than two generations of Pokémon. Plus, the 3DS could barely handle the games as is. There was frequent slow downs, especially for triple battles and horde encounters. Why keep using hardware that can't adequately render the game?

Because then I wouldn't have to drop $300 I don't have for a system I barely want.

Also, that means no more dual screen.

Oh come on. They used the bottom screen less and less as the generations went on (ORAS being the exception)

They're interesting, story focused, but definitely not for everyone.

Also, always get the 3rd/complete version (So in this case, Explorers of Sky).

Should I watch a walkthrough first so I know if I actually want it or not?

If you want, especially if you’re new to dungeon crawlers, which these games unapologetically are.

Personally, I had never played a dungeon crawler when I first played the games and never really cared for the gameplay, but the characters and stories were engaging enough to keep me going. I loved the games even though I always thought the dungeons themselves were a slog.
TG me about my avatars for useless trivia.

A very good link right here.

Sure, but as I said, they're story focused games so you'd want to be careful. In the case of EoS I wouldn't watch anything past Chapter 5 or so.

Followup

I FREAKING LOVE IT.
Already on chapter 7 (whatever the A Junior Expedition Society Member Is Born one is)
named my player character (a Totodile) Link and the Turtwig partner Atlas
(backstory, I'm in Voyage Through the Multiverse, I'm RPing WW Link and Atlas the Turtwig found him in a Team Rocket hideout while Link was with other people checking the place out, they bonded instantly and they've been traveling the multiverse ever since)

Played it from around 9:00 pm to 2:30 am

I "died" and had to be rescued once so that was fun.

Also DO NOT STEAL FROM THE SHOP GUY OR YOU DIE.
I learnt that the hard way.

I am on chapter 10 now. I have been coasting along with very little healing items if not any. (I've had to redo certain dungeons at least 5 times -Looking at you Revelation Mountain!!!!)
Yay?
