Since the release of the new 3DS/3DS XL consoles, will the old 3DS/3DS XL still work with Pokemon Sun/Moon?
If so, is there any benefit or extra features that the new 3DS/3DS XL has over the old one?
I want to buy a 3DS and play the new games on them and I am not sure of what to purchase in terms of console.
Any ideas?

I believe it should still work. Otherwise they would have put a "New 3DS exclusive" somewhere like Xenoblade Chronicles.

They will be combatible with the old 3DS as well, games only avaible on the new 3DS are heavily advertised as such

Holy fuck do you people just not watch trailers
They confirmed in fucking February that SM is playable on the old 3DS, and we have no idea if they will perform differently
Buy an N3DS if you want the Galaxy skin or one of the special editions catches your eye, and buy a 2DS if you want to save money. Buy an O3DS if you want something that will close because the 2DS doesn't

Old 3DSs will do.
At best new 3DSs have less framerate drops when there's a battle with many flying pokémon but it's not really worth getting a new 3DS for that.

Of course, it's a 3DS game
>is there any benefit or extra features that the new 3DS/3DS XL has over the old one?
Unless the game is optimized, no. Judging from stuff like pic related, they most likely will not be optimized.

Oh baby the 2DS has some great colors

Thanks, guys!
In terms of performance, there is no major difference between a 3DS/3DS XL, 2DS and New 3DS/3DS XL besides occasional frame rate drops and load times, right?

XYORAS don't take advantage of the N3DS' better hardware. Games that are optimized for it have more stable framerates and look better. If you care about framerate, I would wait to buy a 3DS until people report on whether SM is better on the N3DS
SM will only run on the N3DS
