I still remember the first year the 3DS launched. It was one rough year, with barely any worthwhile games released for the system. After half a year a massive price cut was issued and people thought Nintendo were doomed forever. Nintendo put all their effort in making the 3DS the success it should have been. After a lukewarm 2012 Nintendo tried to hit back with big hits in 2013, one of those being Pokémon X & Y.
People were saying for over two years that they would never the failure that is 3DS, but the tides seem to have turned looking back at the recent hardware sales. Now I ask you: did Pokémon pull you over? Or did you already have a 3DS well before Pokémon was even announced? Or were it multiple games that made you buy it but Pokémon was the decisive factor? Tell me all about it in the comments!
I’m currently busy with PJNM, so my review got put on hold but I’ll try to make sure it hits the coming week! Until then!

To answer my own question, I got my 3DS the day before launch day (lol). Bought it for all the Nintendo franchises that eventually would come out. It did collect some pretty dust over the years though, and it was only when Fire Emblem came out I started playing regularly
What was the best feature of the 3DS when you played it (besides playing an actual game and the 3D)?
Streetpass and an actual online shop.
do you know when earthenwarrior my be online checking these chats. my code is 5198-2479-3654. does anyone have a friend code with phanpy or snorunt?
I think I do. My friend code is 4725 9328 5470
What name do you go by and please add me?
My code is 5198-2479-3654
My name is Stephen and my code is 5198-2479-3654. Please add me I may be a useful type.
Me too. I bought a 3ds xl only to play pokemon. I had a (pink!) DS, 2nd hand, since 2005 but i had to replace it to play the new pokemon games. I only play pokemon, i dont have time for more XD
*Gets the first model of DS*
(DS Breaks)
*Gets newer model*
(DS Breaks)
*Gets the new model from earlier*
(DS breaks)
Me: Screw this.
*Gets a 3DS*
(3DS gets Stolen)
*Gets another 3DS >_>*
And now i’m all happy ……
Same Here!
Still need a Gooey Goomy. Ideally Modest, Male and levelled up as much as possible, but I don’t particularly mind.
same here
they should release pokemon conquest 2 it would look so cool with 3ds graphics but i do not want 3d models
You mean the weirdest crossover of all time of Nobunaga’s Ambition/Samurai Warriors and Pokemon? YES.
Loved that game, the gameplay was SOOOOO GOOOODDDDDD.
Hell yeah. Freaking loved going around in that game demolishing everyone.
So play like Project X Zone in other words.
The problem with PXZ was its gameplay though.
Yeah. The same combo forever worked on everyone. Except tanks.
It took me a while to realize Siebold is a chef…
Found out when I answered “no” to his question at the E4.
He’s a chef!?
Yup XD
Dont you mean Yup LD
Edited! LD
jordin can you please make an avatar with heliolisk and zoroark in it please use heliolisk fan art sugimori art of it looks weird please
Makes sense, he does cook magicarps XD
Maybe he cooks Gyarados?
Maybe that’s why he doesn’t have one at the Battle Chateau… O.O
Magikarps aren’t edible. See: anime
My life feels saddened and empty now.

My life feels hungry now.
Their scales are too hard or some bullshit.

XD!
OMG ARE YOU KIDDING ME MOTHER GOOMIN SHINY LUVDISC!
I found one unintentionally while Heart Scale hunting. I named her Banana afterwards.
Thats what I was just doing and now I’ve found 3 shiny pokemon in 1 day!
OKAY THATS IT ILL START BANNING EVERYONE WHY BRAGS ABOUT ENCOUNTERING A SHINY UNTIL I GET ONE MYSELF
This morning when I woke up, I caught a Shiny Eevee in the Friend Safari…*Banned*
Don’t look for one, and you’ll find one. Works for me. Just bring many Quick Balls and a Pokemon with False Swipe in case Quick Ball fails at all times.
Where do you buy quick balls?
Coumarine City, Snowbelle City and the Poké Ball Boutique
I don’t have false swipe however. Seeems like hardly any Pokémon learns it
Maybe you can spam Pokeballs and non-damaging moves and hope for the best?
Quick balls have like a 5x catch rate of Ultra balls if used first turn. I caught Xerneas with one. >D
B..b..b… Quick Balls are ugly. I only catch Pokémon with normal Pokéballs/Premier balls/Luxury Balls
I like them…. *banned*
It’s the sacrifice you have to make for easy catches!
A Scyther broke out of a Quick Ball the moment it hit the ground. >:V <– angry beak face
Catch a Fraxure. It learns False swipe and has a good base atk
I taught mine to that in-game trade bisharp. I also taught it thunder wave
Absol also learns it.
You can have my Shiny Luvdisc.
Someone said on another site they have been looking in the friend safari for four hours trying to find a shiny.
WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE GET THE TIME.
They have a Dialga or a Celebi.
tr tr tr TRAITOR
Do you want one Dae? I have a shiny Beartic that I have no use for.
Nonono.
Big part of a shiny is finding it yourself
Ok, I understand. Go easy on Star Bits though, he’s in the hospital right now.
Why does Durant have Truant as a hidden ability?
Tru-ANT
Because it’s effing OP’d with it’s speed and Guillotine. *shudders*
I just sweeped Siebold with a Diggersby…
People, Huge Power Diggersby is the new Goomy!!!
Diggersby will never compare to based Goomy. Get out.
LD!
thats my boy
In all honestly Diggersby are apparently decent, shame they are so ugly…
Trust me, they are worth it! Again, let’s just take in consideration that my Diggersby is still under Lv. 50, yet it sweeped Siebold with only +1 Attack from Power-Up Punch. I was naturally faster than his team, except for Starmie, which it oddly went for Swift…
Is there a way to find horde battles faster?
Sweet Scent
And a Honey too.
Can you Masuda with a foreign Ditto?
Yep ^_^
Yeah.
Which is why if you get one, trade away your Ditto, someone in another country will be happy.
It’s how I got mine 🙂
That’s how I got my shin… *sees Dae glaring* Err never mind.
Just like every other Nintendo console/handheld, I bought the 3DS for Pokémon. Nintendo pretty much controls my life and my bank account..
Does anyone here not live in the U.S?
Me…
Can we trade dittos so we can do masuda method?
My version is the american version, sorry
Oh Ok that is ok
I wish I had an extra foreign Ditto for you. 🙁
Me, but playing with an American game
Doh ok
me
Are you playing American version of the game?
nope
Hurray, can we trade dittos so we both can do masuda method
works only with language plus to tired to trade
Oh ok
Me but I’m British so it wouldn’t work. You need “non-english”.
I think it’s by language now? Could be wrong but I heard that rumor somewhere.
Oh Ok
please add me..I need Friends:
0232 8742 7905
SERPERIOR!
I hate super training with sp defense, STUPID TENTACRUEL AND DRAGLGE WONT STOP MOVING.
Use hordes then
I agree! 😀
UGGH me too! Those are the hardest levels of my life. I just start throwing random shots XD
Am I the only one who has the easiest time battling them? :3
Nope, I do too. 😛
Al of the others are easy but Sp Defense…
The hardest for me is Magnezone. *raises double-finger defense* FUNDA, and you don’t have a nice day, Magnezone! >:(
Magnezone pissed me off at first, but then he became wayyy to easy
I think all the the others are like that too. It’s hard doing those levels with a level one Pokemon, because they’re either too slow or shot points are too low.
Holy Goomy… I joined a few days ago and I’m already about to make top commenters.
Aurorus with Refrigerate and Nature Power is kinda scary… .-.
OHKO’d all of the champion’s team.
Damn, nice! 😀
And Siebold’s team too (Freeze Dry) and Drasna’s team too xD
Shame its typing…
Aurorus is a beast, and everybody knows it.
Fighting type don’t think so
EV and max IV defense don’t think so.
Adaptability Lucario begs to differ. Aura Sphere or Close Combat will tear your to pieces.
Touche.
Say Hello to Power-up punch
What happens when a Pokemon has Max Affection and one pops out of it for a critical hit or losing freeze/burn? Does it lose that heart from Max Affection?
No…
Good.
When the Pokemon kills something and before it gets the exp for it, rub on the touch screen…you can pet it. :3 <3
Oh, so that’s how you do it. I did that twice and I couldn’t figure out how to do it!
You can? I saw that hand before and I thought it was automatic!
Yep. Just do it before the Pokemon gains experience.
I just did it with a Pokemon that has no affection and it didn’t work. I did it on one that does have max affection and it worked 😀
Yeah they need full hearts.
Favorite Pokémon this generation?
Dedenne.
No need to say why!
😀
Pyroar
Chespin.
Can you even chespin?
Greninja.
Too close to call, I love so many of them!
Haaaawwwwllucha
Diggersby won this spot.
Design-wise? Talonflame.
Noivern. Maybe Fletchling. It’s so cute. And Fennekin/Braixen. Dammit.
Mine are greninjna and Noviern design wise
Aurorus
A beast
5 way tie
Goodra, Chespin, Aegislash, Clauncher, Pyroar(M)
Nice
espurr
Hate to jump on the Band-wagon, but I have to go with Goodra, although both Sliggoo and Clawitzer come as close seconds.
Maybe I should save Wonder Trading my collection of Shinx and Growlithe until a time period where the WT isn’t infested with bratty kids. -__-
I know, I had many of the same fossil Pokemon because I wanted the cover fossil, so I wonder traded and what I got back, weak Pokemon.
I get a tad let down when I trade good nature, good egg moves Pokemon, and I get a Metapod, a Caterpie, a Fletchling, or a Bunnelby. -_-
I’ve done an entire box of Vulpix, and half of the Pokemon I got back were great, including an Adament Mawile and Gale Wing Fletchling. Other half were meh, some weren’t in my Pokedex. I realized weekends are the worst because it’s when all the dumbass kids play.
I realized just yesterday that I had received a Gale Wings Fletchling from Japan w/ Adamant nature, I almost WT’d it away!
Check the IVs!
Hey Jordin, do you have that Heracronite yet? Mine is already Lv. 50 and I wanna test out its full potential! 😀
You might have to wait 7 hours. Unless I change my the time on the 3DS. It will mess up the activity records, but who cares?
It’s fine, as long as I get it sometime today or tomorrow, take your time! But when I change the time on my 3DS, it doesn’t affect the records too much as long as you change the time back as soon as you’re done. 🙂
I did not buy my own 3ds for Pokemon. I can’t afford to buy my own 3ds, but thank God/Arceus/Goomy that my sister lets me use hers. I will get my own 3ds in the near future.
I got my 3ds in Christmas last year good timing
When I first heard about the 3DS, I told everyone of my friends at school. They didn’t believe me. Keep in mind that this was when it was first announced in Japanese. I was so excited! When it first came out I was a bit skeptical about getting one, so I waited. Then my DS lite started getting old. It now has dead pixels and the volume rocker is stuck, so you have to use force to turn up or down the volume. I decided it was time for a new DS, but why not a 3DS XL with all of the awesome games it has like MK7 or SM3DL? I started saving up and after a lot of convincing and watching reviews of games and the 3DS it was time. I waited until Black Friday (2012) and I was the first one at Target that day. I got the last blue one 😀 I enjoyed every feature of it.
Then I got my first game, Mario Kart 7, which I still haven’t beaten. The 3D features are amazing! Now that Pokemon has come out, I have to charge my 3DS like 2 times a day because I play it too much. Multiple games made me buy it. Pokemon wasn’t announced at that time but I knew it would be so that made me want to obtain one. So glad I bought the XL. It’s really worth the extra $30.
In conclusion, those who doubted the 3DS will pay (Pokedollars). I love Nintendo & Game Freak.
Question of the day: What is arromatisse hiding under all of that fur?
Her stash.
The stuff she robs from your bag.
the stuff from your bag weighs her down and that’s why she can’t fly anymore.
Yup and she looks like she is in steroids because she took to much rare candies
Easiest way to earn exp?
Elite Four.
Dam what Pokemon do they have the second time you go to it and what level are they?
They don’t change I don’t think.
Yeah… Their levels are so high in the main part of the game that they don’t change…
Lucky Egg + Chansey and or Audino Friend Safari + Exp. O-Power
or
Lucky Egg + Trevenant hordes + Exp. O-Power
Anyone got an Audino friend safari? Dedenne’d love that.
Also, does anyone have a ditto safari?
I have a chansey, audino, aipom safari.
OOHHH! FC plz? Mine is 1977-1450-7299
0130-2997-8445
Add me too! 😀
0645-6373-8564

Then I can’t add you.
Experience all.
