luigi90210 and Yuoaman, let's end that discussion on here, as we don't want you two having a personal debate. :P
If you would like to carry on the conversation, please take it to PMs/VMs or a form of IM. :)

Thanks!​

Will X & Y be the reason you finally get a 3DS?

With me that is a major possibility.

No. I got an 3DS well...I don't know why. Everyone said it was cool and I bought it. Every game for the 3DS so far's good. Yeah.

Bought my 3DS because of Zelda remake, as well as because I know how Nintendoworks. I got mine when it was $250. The new Pokemon games are just icing on the cake for me. As a store clerk, I have seen people start buying 3DS' because of the new games' announcement, so there are people buying 3DS' just because of the new Pokemon games. A lot of them just bought DSi's last Christmas too.

I got one for Sonic Generations and Zelda 3D.
But, I may have to buy another one, I plan to get both games, and actually try to catch all of the Pokémon.
And, I've no one nearby to trade with.

I actually considering to buy 3DS way before Pokemon X and Y are announced, but the reason I want to buy 3DS is because I know that main Pokemon games sooner or later will be in 3DS.

I got it when the price had dropped to $170 and the Red version was released. I knew there would be great games coming out for it (including Pokemon).

I think I had StarFox and LoZ: Ocarina of Time 3DS as my first games on it.

I already got my 3DS for Christmas last year, way before X & Y's announcement.

I do plan to make them be the first 3DS games I play though.

Perhaps. I've lasted THIS long (2-3 years) without a DS lite after it was killed by me..woops. Damn water !
Now my friend gave me a original Nintendo DS which I can play White and White 2 !
I don't want to spend on a 3DS just to leave it after I complete Pokemon Y, however if they continue to release Pokemon games for the 3DS then it may be worth the investment.

I've already got a Nintendo 3DS, and nope... since I've had the 3DS much longer than the announcement of Pokémon X and Y, the main reason I got a Nintendo 3DS is because of the hardware itself and the new games, even if there wasn't many at launch day. ;)

I think this will skyrocket the 3Ds's sales of these games. Pokemon X and Y are talked about with just about EVERY serious Pokemon fan, myself included. I have a buddy who knew about it WEEKS before me. When i looked these games up, i was so excited. I own a 3DS, so that makes me even MORE excited. so yeah, i think serious Pokemon fans will flock to buy a 3DS, even IF it is pre-owned. Especially after that AWESOME trailer. swinging on ropes? = AMAZING!

Well personally, I'm buying a 3DS entirely so I can play X&Y on it. That might be poor money management on my part but as a very casual gamer (when it comes to the DS it's really just the Pokémon games and the occasional Mario game), I find spending ~€170 to be entirely worth the amount of enjoyment I'll get. Maybe I'm a frivolous spender and the public in general won't find X&Y worth quite as much money as I do, but to echo pretty much everyone in here, I think not only will being 3DS-exclusive not harm X&Y, X&Y being 3DS-exclusive will hugely help the 3DS.

lmao exactly the same for me in terms of being casual and mario :x (except I've already brought the 3DS and I got it on a sale so it was for $120). I agree in that I think a lot others are going to follow that, and why wouldn't they (that is retorical)? A new system shouldn't keep them away from a new generation. :3;

...and it probably won't. If it hasn't done so in the past, I don't see why moving up to the 3DS will deter those away from a new generation now.

Unless they're truly god awful and no one wants to have anything to do with them. Then.... <sadface>

The only problem is, you buy the 3DS to play pokemon, but what else? You can't just buy a new console just to play 1 or 2 games on.

Yeah you may buy more games for it later down the line, but in the end your spending how ever much for a new console and new game(s) instead of just the new game.

Well thts how it was for me tho. bought a gbc to play crystal, bought a gba to play sapphire , bought a ds to play diamond. I do have bought other games too for the platforms but only 2-3.(zelda /star wars ie)

3DS pokemon game+ cell shading = WIN!

Pokemon X and Y will be successful. Whether or not the "online" options will actually be good this time...I dunno.

I'll buy one because of Pokémon, but also because of other remakes like Star Fox and Zelda. Emulation is unlikely to appear soon so I'll stop being cheap and just get the real cart instead.
