Do you think XY was a better experience on New 3DS than regular 3DS, enough to justify a purchase? The framerate dips in battle irked the shit outta me on regular 3DS XL. Wanna know what people think leading up to Sun and Moon.
Reviews say N3DS is noticably better on some games but I haven't found any that mention pokemon, and hardware don't mean anything if the games aren't optimised well.
Sorry if there's a thread already. I don't dare browse anymore since the demo's been datamined and I wanna stay as blind as possible. Please Understand.
>playing Pokémon on anything other than a 2DS
Sure drop 200 on a 3D system (charger not included lol) for a game that doesn't utilize 3D in any meaningful way.
>>29426105
but your 2DS can't do this
Get a new 3ds bundle with an exploitable firmware and mod it.
>>29426057
No. The game lags on an N3DS too.
>>29426105
2ds is stupid from a design perspective , it doesn't close which sucks even if you don't care about the 3d and you save what, $60?
>>29426057
get a n3ds, trade in your old one towards it or something, gamestop will give you like $80 in store credit
I wouldn't if I were you. It's clear the least amount of effort possible went into SM. It has generally the worst/most random designs, the Pokedex is pretty small compared to earlier generations.
Gamefreak cut development time to focus on the Pokemon game they are developing for the Switch. We got shafted because of it.

Test games on 2ds then... It's waste of money's for n because this console is actually dead
>>29426166
end this legmeme
the slowdowns still happen, even if you're playing on a N3DS that's hacked to allow forced overclocking. If you already have a 3DS that works fine for you just stick to it.
>>29426258
this, there's literally nothing coming out for 2017 and beyond
the Switch has quietly replaced it
>>29426194
>paying an extra 120 dollars so you can fold the console
>>29426300
Running overclocked on N3DS is markedly better, though.
>>29426057
>next console already announced and coming next year
>buying the last version of the old one
if you're going to be stupid at least buy an used old 3ds, not the fucking n3ds with special colors and shit
>>29426057
dude the 3ds is dead, save that money for that shit that's coming out next year cause that's what you gonna need to keep playin pokemon
Thanks for the constructive input, everyone! I probably won't buy the N3DS then.

Releasing the Sun/Moon demo this far out...or even releasing a demo at all was a mistake. We now know that Sun/Moon was criminally under developed. Little content, small world, and falls into the trap of 'slap a brand name on it, and they'll come' This game..while utterly disappointing and seriously heart breaking to me, is going to be a casual play at best with most likely zero replayability. This is the smallest land we've ever gotten, the smallest amount of new pokemon, and from the looks of the demo, the least innovative. I was excited for the alola forms, until it dawned on me that it was a cheap way to pad the numbers.
For those looking to buy the game, and have their heart set on it...do NOT play the demo, you'll only cheapen and lessen the play time you already have with this one.
>>29426057
Whatever you do, don't buy the ass-ugly one in the picture.

Way ahead of you. I'm pretty patient.
>>29427694
mfw I just bought a N3DS and have a job.
Also. The Switch ISN'T the next gym portable system. Can't believe you guys are falling for this. There's obviously going to be a successor to the 3DS.. and it's not the Switch.

Don't do that, you'll lose all your games
>>29429545
That is what they said about the DS. I'm still waiting for my GBA2.
