Recently, I have been shiny hunting in Pokemon games. One particularly popular method is Soft Resetting- SR. Soft Resetting basically means you press certain buttons to return to the start screen without saving, so you can continuously hunt for a shiny pokemon.
This method often puts a lot of strain on the DS.
Because of this, I am extremely hesitant to use my Ltd. Pokemon White DSi, which is really quite frail.
That is the only DS I have at the moment, as I sold off my DS Phat years ago.
I am considering purchasing a refurbished DS Phat for the purpose of SR'ing. It is a lot more durable, easily replaced, rather cheap, and I wouldn't be concerned with bringing it around with me due to its stable nature.
Would you recommend buying a DS Phat? I can get one for $50 USD refurbished or $25 USD used.
This thing is barely sold anymore, but it is so durable and I would get tons of use out of it. I am extremely hesitant to SR on my DSi and I think this is a solution. But is it worth it?
-Would you recommend it?
-Do you still use a DS Phat sometimes?
-Is it worth it to buy when it is so outclassed now? (DS Lite, DSi, 3DS)
-Should the fact that its an older piece of technology put me off from buying it?
