I was probably going to end up buying a new DS soon anyway. My current one is from '04, but the right hinge is coming loose and the LR buttons only work about 50% of the time. My Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance work perfectly though...Personally I can wait a bit to play the new pokemon game. It's not like it's going to disappear from shelves a year later. But I am almost finished picking up all the PS2/DS/Wii games I want, so I am now actually considering getting a 3DS.
It does seem a little soon for a new generation, considering Black and White only came out in 2011 over here. But as long as it isn't half-assed I am not going to care too much.
I was expecting, er, hoping for a remake of Ruby/Sapphire first, but I guess it makes sense to go into the next generation console with the new generation of Pokemon. I still haven't played BW or BW2 yet.
I'll probably pick the stupid looking frog as my starter anyway.We still don't know what it will evolve into so there is still a chance for Game Freak to troll the fan base.
