I have a couple of questions regarding the NewN3DS.

1. Should I buy the XL one or the regular one? I have pretty small hands, so I guess the regular one is better, but maybe the experience on the XL one is better?

2. What games do you recommend? I've always been a Zelda fan, so I'll definitely buy that and Super Smash B B. Other than that I have started playing Pokémon, so I'll get that as well. Which leads me to my last question...

3. Could someone tell me the chronological order of the Pokémon games? I have my jailbreaked NDS here with Diamond and Pearl on it, and I want to know what games come after those.

I'd really appreciate any help. :')

1. I'd say buy the regular one but those are extremely hard to find nowadays. I had to buy a used one cuz I couldn't find any new ones and that was a year ago.

2. Dunno, I only have Pokemon, Smash and KH 3D lol. Maybe Mario Kart? :lol

3. Platinum -> HeartGold/SoulSilver -> Black/White -> Black/White2 -> X/Y -> Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

2. A great Fire Emblem game and another one in the works is on the 3DS, I'd recommend those.

3. After Diamond/Pearl is Black/White, Black/White ][, and X/Y.

1. XL
2. Mario Kart 7
3. Diamond and Pearl > Platinum -> Heart Gold/Soul Silver -> Black And White -> Black and White 2 -> X and Y -> Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

You can play all the pokemon games up to Black and White 2 on emulator (PC). So I advice you do that and just buy X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

Oh okay, thank you very much. And I didn't even knew there was a KH for the 3DS, now I have to get one ASAP! I love KH!

Looks really cool, thanks!

Thank you very much. Just one more question, will there be a Pokémon releasing this year? And if yes, should I just wait for that one?

I don't think so. The pokemon game for this year is just some mystery dungeon game or something. They're releasing the next pokemon title next year I believe.

Pokémon Z is rumored to be released this year and maybe a trading card game.

I'd buy 3DS only for X&Y and for Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.

Legit

Since you're into Zelda and pokemon then I suggest you play monster hunters and Xenoblade chronicles on the new 3DS. I don't own a 3DS but these games are highly reviewed and should provide countess hours of play.

Edit: the regular size new 3DS isn't available outside of japan I believe, only the XL version... I could be wrong as of now but this held true back at release.

IF you have a choice the japan one has color options... Unsure if us games work on it so you may have to do some research but the c stick isn't that far off from the buttons get the XL one
