The effects of the goverment shutdown are felt everywhere.

The U.S. government shutdown has reportedly caused shipments of Pokémon X and Y to be delayed to U.S. military commissaries. A photo was taken of the announcement on a U.S. military base, but it has not been verified if this is a widespread issue, or what base the photo was from.
Military commissaries offer discounted food and items to active military members and families and also serve as the only stores with American goods for members serving overseas. Earlier in the week, many of these stores were shut down entirely and still need time to restock many items. While many still have access to the game from other stores, some Pokémon fans will have to wait for supplies to arrive on base.
In the past, non-profit organizations like Operation Supply Drop have helped deliver video games to troops overseas, bringing with them a sense of the comforts of home and some much needed stress-relief.
