I left behind a token team's worth of pokemon in case i ever feel like i need to go back, and as long as necrozma's there it should be able to handle whatever anyway
they have to keep game updates and redownloads functional for a while anyway... hell, even the Wii can still redownload purchased games to this day iirc
