Hallo Simpleton, big welcome to the forum yess.
So you've never owned the original DS? That's the platform D/P/Pt, HG/SS, B/W, and B/W2 were for. X and Y (plus the upcoming OR/AS) are for the 3DS. Stinks you're unable to get the system but the older games are just as amazing - I can never get bored of them, aha. xD;;
Be sure to explore our lovely ROM Hacking category for all your hacking needs. We have many tutorials and other guides to help out the aspiring hacker. Enjoy your time and if you're ever looking to chat you're more than welcome to message me. :D
