The phrase refers to acquiring a digital copy of the Pokmon Sun and Pokmon Moon video games, typically in a file format suitable for use with emulators or modified gaming consoles. These files represent the complete game data and allow individuals to experience the game without possessing the original physical cartridge or a legitimate digital purchase from official distribution channels. An example would be searching online for a “.cia” file compatible with a Nintendo 3DS emulator or a modified Nintendo 3DS system.
The availability of these game files presents both conveniences and concerns. For some, accessing them provides a means to play a game that is no longer readily available through official retail channels. Others may use them to test game modifications, hacks, or fan translations. However, acquiring and using such files often raises legal and ethical considerations, as distributing and downloading copyrighted material without authorization can infringe upon intellectual property rights. Historically, the distribution of such files has been a contentious issue within the video game industry, triggering legal action and debates surrounding copyright enforcement.
