Pokemon X&Y Limited Edition - Red or Blue?
 
Have your pre-ordered the 3DS XL Pokemon X&Y limited edition?
What color did you choose?
Which game you pre-ordered?
Why did you choose them?

Yes.
Blue.
Y(RED).
The blue 3DS goes better with the Pokemon X&Y's skin in my opinion.
I chose Pokemon Y because I want a flying legendary and cause it starts with the first letter of my name - not much of a reason, but that's it.

I'll be getting the blue one (:

Malakai September 7th, 2013 3:36 AM

If I am completley honest I'm not a big fan of limited edition Consoles. They look nice, but I much prefer my plain white 3DS XL over one with a design and a colour.

And I preordered Pokemon Y.

toxictwinkie September 7th, 2013 4:24 AM

I'm personally waiting for the Zelda Edition. The X / Y ones look to plain.

BLUE!
I was so excited when they finally announced these I literally jumped with joy.

Guy September 7th, 2013 10:58 AM

WHELP. I'm still waiting for the White 3DS XL to be released in North America.

I've never really been a big fan of special edition systems therefore I'm not really interested in buying either of these. If the White 3DS XL doesn't come out before October arrives ─ which I've run out of hope that it will ─ then I'm just going to buy the solid black one instead, since I still haven't bought a 3DS for myself yet.

Tsutarja September 7th, 2013 11:04 AM

I really want to get either of them so badly now, but I'm unsure if it's possible to trade in my 3DS XL for one of those ;~; they look so cool and it would really go along with my DSi XL of having a special edition

Roh September 7th, 2013 11:19 AM

Limited edition consoles are cool, but I'd never find myself using them regularly. Plus I'm also not a big fan of XL's. I preordered X, just to go with my own tradition of always getting the first name listed in a pair (red, gold, ruby, diamond, heartgold, ect.), and also because my cousin, also my real-life rival, preordered Y.

Sheep September 7th, 2013 11:35 AM

I won't be getting any since my blue 3DS XL is working perfectly but they're both beautiful. If I could, I'd get the blue one. Still waitin' for a cute pink, gold, or white one though. :)

EJ Nero September 7th, 2013 11:59 AM

I think they're both ugly, and Nintendo why are the bundle packs only for the XL? I don't have a 3DS but I'll be getting the original-sized one as I think the XL is too big. But it never seems to get the bundles. (-_-) I mean does everyone prefer the XL and so Nintendo only releases the bundles for it? Ugh, it's so frustrating. *End rant*

I prefer the normal colors anyways

i actually asked a bunch of people who own both the original and the xl, and xl seemed to be the preferred console. buy what you think would be more comfortable.

by the way, i found out today that toysRus have the pikachu limited edition xl, which looks great!

one last thing, the y&x 3ds xl are not bundles, you buy the game separately =\

Umbreonz September 7th, 2013 3:19 PM

I preordered the red 3ds xl and got pokemon y version

Arise September 7th, 2013 8:20 PM

I didn't like the blue 3DS when I first saw it, but with the release of the red one, I couldn't help myself and pre-ordered it. I was planning on getting the plain black 3DS XL, but red was my favorite color for many years, and with it being a limited edition console and Pokemon-themed, I could probably get more money for it should I decide to sell it in the future. I really wanted a Pokemon-themed 3DS anyway since Pokemon is the reason I'm getting one at all, but I think the design is plain, uncreative, and beyond lazy. I like it better than the Pikachu one though (yellow is my least favorite color, and I hate the way Pikachu looks in all the merchandise artwork).

I pre-ordered Pokemon X because I love Xerneas' design and find Yveltal's design awkward. I don't care one way or the other about the other exclusive Pokemon, although I do like Spritzee. Pokemon X is the first game I've ever pre-ordered. o-o

Shrew September 7th, 2013 10:19 PM

I bought a regular 3DS a few months ago despite the XL being out for a long. I'd rather have a compact gaming system to carry in my pocket, or else I would have tried to get the Pikachu XL (which was around when I got mine.) I don't like legendaries very much, so even if they were available for regular-sized 3DSs, I still wouldn't want them.

I'm not going to preorder X/Y. I think I might buy my copy later than most people, because I'll be too busy in school to play much anyways.

Aeroblast September 8th, 2013 11:44 AM

Probably an unpopular opinion that I'm going to spit out, but I don't like the look of both of those consoles. They both look a bit cheap, though pictures may not do it justice. Inside of both consoles will probably still be black.

I'd rather have had the Charizard 3ds XL come over or even the gold one.

alisaie September 8th, 2013 12:05 PM

I already have a red 3DS XL so I have no intentions on getting one of the limited edition ones. Though if I didn't have a 3DS XL and I did have the money for one of the two I would likely be well... the Red one.

Palkia September 8th, 2013 12:10 PM

I already have a 3DS, and might be planning for asking for a 3DS XL Pokémon X and Y for Christmas so that the d-pad on my old one doesn't give me thumb herpes.

metalhand September 8th, 2013 12:14 PM

Today got my 3ds XL, so I won't buy these one

MrGriszell September 8th, 2013 12:53 PM

In my opinion my special pikachu 3ds xl is better, plus I heard they ran out quick so I value mine more now

yeah... it was the first i wanted to order, but the price in amazon is unreasonable and toysrus doesn't ship...

GeckoPutt September 8th, 2013 3:05 PM

I don't mind them, but they aren't very impressive at all - I personally won't be trading in my 3DS XL for the them. I have the Limited Edition Pikachu 3DS XL and I think it looks infinitely better than the X & Y ones. So I'll be sticking with my Pikachu one. :)

Hiatus September 8th, 2013 5:53 PM

I'm a big fan of the Pokémon X 3DS, because it looks very beautiful to me. Especially with the Xerneas and Yveltal outline. I don't think I'd be buying it, though, because unfortunately, I already have a 3DS. D: I bought it last year in June, and it still seems to work perfectly fine.

XL is better in everything but size.

But for the 18250120th time, I really want that Charizard XL. Only if it wasn't for god damned region lock I would've imported it.

blue September 9th, 2013 2:38 PM

It's soooo tempting to get one of them, especially with the release date being just a couple of weeks before the games release date. I've looked it up and albeit they're £179.99, even trading in my current 3DS which is in a good condition would only fetch me approximately £60. If you knock that off the price of the 3DS XL it would still cost more than £100, so I wouldn't bother considering my 3DS is perfectly fine as it is.
