4th Gen Nintendo DS Improvments

I personally recomend the DSi because I am playing my version of Pokemon platinum on it forlike the first time in ever. Thd DSi is worth the buy, my only complaint is it is seemingly immposibe to put a screen protector on with out bubbles on it. Also get Platinum first instead of HG or SS because if you played Silver, Gold, or Crystal it will have the same story. Besides most of the features of the game is the same on Platinum.

For pokemon games DSi is crap as it cuts out the ability to dongle and use Pal Park. Also HG/SS are way different as they have new story lines and stuff like that. I recommend getting both Platinum and one of HG/SS and then you have a good lengthy play time with pokemon.

Not really, I want to get a DSi because I want to browse the internet and play the game when I'm done with ze internet, its really fun when you think about it, but thats my opinion :D

O.o people are talking about the DSi LL Not even comming out in japan and stuff even thoough they are selling them in my local game store in the UK? O_O
Anyway i recommend getting the DS Lite and the Opera Web browser card if you want the inter 2ndly if you want to do voice record etc. music etc. You can do that with a flash card O_O (Im not suggesting to use the flash card to illegally play games)
But i often use the video and application features so i definately recommend DS lite since it has a slot that if you put in one of the pokemon games certain pokemon appear in certain places and even if you dont have them they are so old you could probably get them for like $3-5 or 3-5 Pounds in the UK O.o so yea as i said before i recommend the DS Lite , i think the main reason nintendo got rid of the GBA Slot was cause they was loosing money O.o Yes alot of people before the GBA died brought the GBA versions of the games to avoid the high DS game cost.
Also some games like Guitar Hero require the GBA slot so yet again DS LITE ALL THE WAY!!!!

By the way i forgot about the awsome Pal Park of doom that allows importing of pokemon from the GBA Games thus being able to get all the starters by continual reset.

DSlite is better for those who wish to fully enjoy their gaming. If your just after internet why bother getting a DSi? why not just stick with a computer and not get a DS? I'd rather take enjoyment of games over anything else because whats the point in playing a game that you only get half the fun from? I read in your first post you have Emerald well you could transfer all your pokemon from there to your DS game if you have the DSLite but with DSi you can't and the only way to get all pokemon is via trade which can take forever especially since people ask rare things for rare things. Just to get a Ho-Oh I had to trade a shiny Raikou.

Get a DS Lite with HeartGold or SoulSilver.
