I'm thinking about getting a Nintendo DS but have no information whatsoever.

Can I get a DS or do I need a 3DS? I mainly want to play Pokemon, especially FireRed and HeartGold, but also Black/White and maybe the new games coming out.

I find the 3DS too expensive, tbh. The 3DS is backward compatible with DS games, right? Is the 3DS worth it? What about other games? I like RPG style games and puzzle games.

If you can find a regular DS, go for it, but FireRed is an Advance game, so if you get a 3DS, you can't play it (Unless it's avaliable digitally, I don't recall if it is.)

I completely forgot that FireRed was for the Advance. :/ I'm mostly interested in the reboots, tbh, but I'm not getting two consoles just so I can play them. (If the Advance is even still available.)

3DS is the "next gen" so yeah, you'll need that or a 2DS if you want to play that gen's games. I believe Black/White is only for DS, but X and Y are for 3DS. You won't be able to play Game Boy Advance games on it though. Still, I think the 3DS is a great system, there are lots of great games, and of course you can still play any DS games too.

Okay, so the 2DS is like the 3DS? I honestly thought that the 2DS is just the normal DS but renamed to fit with the naming of the 3DS. The 2DS is more in my price range than the 3DS, if it plays the same games that would be great.

I completely forgot that some Pokemon games were for the Advance. :/

Yeah, 2DS is the same Gen as 3DS, just without the 3D capability (and therefore cheaper). Though, you can turn off the 3D even on a 3DS (I personally hate 3D anything, so yeah).

Honestly, if you want to play the Advance games, you might be better off getting them on an emulator? Otherwise, I think Red and Blue are actually being re-released for the 3DS (not remade, so identical graphics and whatnot).

Are there emulators for PC? I looked a while back but didn't find anything that seemed trustworthy (the one side that did had all the Pokemon emulators taken down).

The re-released are actually what made me think about getting a (3)DS! My old Red cartridge is unfortunately broken and I always wanted to play Blue.

Unless the 3DS offers any features that the 2DS doesn't (are there any 3DS exclusive games or are all playable on the 2DS?) I'll probably go with the 2DS. It's more in my price range and I hate 3D as well, lol.

There are DS1 emulators. DeSmuME is the one I use. 3DS emulation isn't quite there yet.

And as far as I know all 3DS games are 2DS-compatible, but I found the 2DS awkward to hold. It was designed for kids. 3DS XL and its New variation are gigantic and easier for me to hold, though I've no interest in buying one because the 3DS seems to be where they throw all the jRPGs and other games I don't care about these days.

(Wish Sony would have actually supported the Vita...)

Get the 3DS. The DS is pretty much defunct at this point. There's several different flavors of it, though 'cuz Nintendo can't leave well enough alone and keep releasing updated versions.

Anon above mentioned the 2DS, which is more in my price range and same gen as the 3DS. I don't care about 3D; is there any other reason to get the 3DS?

There's several different flavors of it, though 'cuz Nintendo can't leave well enough alone and keep releasing updated versions.

I noticed. I looked up the Nintendo DS on Amazon to get a feeling for how much it costs and was kinda overwhelmed by all the different options.

The new version has updated hardware (meaning reduced load times) and they've improved the controls. It probably depends on the kind of games you want to play, though.

Black and White is on regular DS (I own Black)

Also you can buy DS's second hand that are pretty decent quality.

A 3DS is definitely worth it imo, because it can play DS games (but no GBA ones) as well as 3DS games and virtual console games from the eshop.

But if the 3D aspect itself isn't worth it to you, you can always get a 2DS, which will play all the same games, just with no 3D ability and it doesn't fold up to make it easier to carry. The upside is that a 2DS is about $100 cheaper (I think?), and if you get screen protectors you won't have to worry about damaging your screens.

I have a DS and 3DS mostly for Pokemon, also for some Zelda games, Advance Wars and maybe one or two random things. Oh, Animal Crossing.

All in all, the Pokemon games you mentioned are DS, not 3DS, and I enjoyed the Gen VI games but the ones you mentioned are actually among my favorites, I love BW and HGSS, more than the Gen VI games.

It does seem a bit silly though to not buy a 3DS when you could be getting so much more (potentially) from your system...guess it depends on what the price difference is? like if you can get a DS super cheap maybe you should get it and think about upgrading later, but if the price gap is small it might be better to invest in a 3DS.

Also, 2DS is an option and it plays all 3DS games. You don't get the 3D but it's cheaper. Since I don't like the 3D anyway (gives me a headache and I literally just keep it turned off all the time) a 2DS would have been a better investment for me, but it didn't come out until I'd already bought my 3DS.

I think the only other 3DS-only games I've played besides Pokemon are LoZ: A Link Between Worlds (highly enjoyable) and Animal Crossing: New Leaf (cute but not worth getting a whole console for IMO).
