Avenged Probably Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Okay I'm definitely gonna get the new game but still need a console. The special edition 2DS with the game pre-loaded is by far the cheapest, but I'm weary of the 2DS. Anyone have one or have used one extensively? What do you think and how does it feel compared to the normal folding types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have one that I share with my son. It's pretty good, the screens aren't very big but if you don't mind then it's not a bad purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roster Depth Sicko No. 2 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've got a 2DS and think it's great. I haven't used the 3DS to compare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenged Probably Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ah cool I'm actually surprised at how positive the comments are on here. Might wander down to game and see if they have on out that I can try in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummy Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah, I have a 2DS and I love it - only gripe is that you need a case to stop the screen from getting scratched, but you can pick one up dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I really like my 2DS - it takes some getting used to, after being used to so many units that fold dating back to the GBA, this felt weird at first. But I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have a 2DS but I got tired of the small screen and got a 3DS XL. Honestly the 2DS is nice to have sitting around as a backup option should anything ever happen to my 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have a 2DS right now that I'm using as well (I need to properly FriendCode up everyone at some point - probably when I get the actual game and not the demo) and I fucking adore the thing. And yeah - cases are dirt cheap.. I have one on mine right now that can stay on and flaps down to cover the screen. The bigger screen size of the XL doesn't outweigh the uncomfortable feeling it has in my own hands and most of the stuff I play looks find on the smaller screen anyways.

Avenged Probably Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Awesome, thanks guys. I've preorder the 2DS with Alpha Saphire version so I'm pretty excited. Went with Saphire as I have a friend who's also getting the game and she's getting Ruby. Never done any of this online/friend code stuff before so that should be fun!

Yeah, getting a case is a very good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatblindgeye Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Luckily with these games, there seems to be less of a focus on version exclusives. Obviously there's still some exclusives, but there's no version exclusive mega stones this time around (thank fuck) and you can get all the ones from X and Y at one point or another. I dunno how much it sticks to the original Gen III games, what with new features and whatnot, but I really enjoyed the story. The Delta episode afterwards was... interesting, though I'm a little iffy on the whole "this is a Hoenn from another universe" sort of thing, but meh. Not too big a deal for me. Also, the soaring thing with Lati@s is pretty nifty and helps if I don't want to have a Pokemon on my team just for Fly.

gunnar hendershow Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I must say that it isn't HGSS in terms of staying totally true and being the ultimate remake. Pokemon has changed so much in Gen VI that there's a lot of things that needed to be added in. But the things that should be there are still there. Overall they did it right, but again it's as much a new game as it is a remake in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think the one thing I'm really disappointed by is that there seems to only be the same Battle Maison for post-game stuff... I was really hoping for a Battle Frontier sort of thing with different kinds of ways to battle (renting, a roulette sort of thing, and all that other stuff. The Delta Episode is a nice post-game thing, sort of like the Looker thing in X/Y, and having to do the secret bases and contests to get the Garchompite and Lucarionite will mean you have to play more, but eh.
