Yeah, the DS and the DS lite is practically the same. The only differences, as far as I know, is the size of the handheld and the stylus it comes with. The stylus on the original DS is a wee stick compared to the DS Lite.

Also, I heard there was news that they were going to stop production on the original DS. I bet this is old news now, but is it true?

I think they already have stopped production of DS "phat". Lite also has a brighter screen and stronger backlight.
Sig coming sometime (not)soon...

You can still find a few on certain retail stores if you have a good eye.

Oh, and brigher screen and stronger backlight are the same thing... XD

The DS and DS Lite will play Diamond and Pearl the same, with the same features, and such. The only difference is slight graphical things (due to the better screens on the DS Lite and the varied screens on the original DS).

Though there are rumors going around about a new, even more compact DS that lacks the GBA slot, which would harm Diamond/Pearl's feature list considerably, so I wouldn't get that new DS to play Pokemon, if it even will exist (and if it does ever actually come out, it won't be for a while until the DS Lite is "older").

The Lite is worth the investment.
But on the other hand, if you buy it's cousin, you could get PBR on the Wii!
:D
Well it depends on your retailer.
My favourite thing about the Lite is that it fits smuggly inside my school trouser pocket :D

how do u play online using wifi
There are SO MANY tutorials etc. if you browse the net for more than 8 seconds.
Also if you can't find one, ask on the D/P board, not here.

And I think the original pasters answer had been answered multiple times.
I recomend this be closed.
