>Physical boxes for digital codes Why the fuck hasn't

Only if they're illiterate, in which case they're not really people anyways.

Then why the fuck is it even a box? You could literally make this a fucking card if it /has/ to be physical for some retarded reason, or they can do the smart thing and just buy the code online like everyone else.

Anon, this isn't a new thing. Hell, PC games have been doing it for awhile now.

PC games have been doing it for years but I bet you didn't complain until this appeared.

I'm still going to download Gold from the e-shop so I can play it on the go

Probably because it makes it easier to notice on the shelf. It would have to be placed next to the other 3DS games and Pokemon games when it's packaged like that, making it more noticeable than if it were placed next to the other DLC/paper code cards from other games. It also makes it easier for people to gift to someone.
This isn't meant to be a defense or anything, but take it how you will.

It's for exposure. 'Lets young kids see something they might not otherwise know exists unless they see it on a store shelf.
