Get the 3DS, it's backwards compatable with all DS games (guitar hero may be the exception, but I'm not sure).  The extra cost is worth it given all the fantastic games coming out for the system, which will surely include Pokemon gen VI in a couple of years.

And there is also the GB/GBC/SGG and hopefully soon GBA games one can download onto the 3DS


Those are the key words. By the time those games come out it will have gotten a price cut.

so all the games until the price cut will suck. Wow, maybe if he is going to spend the money he can spend it once rather then twice. So in the end he doesn't save money and has to buy two devices.


Why arer you putting words in my post? Did i say they suck? No. Is it enough good games to justify a purchase? PLUS, is he interested in those games by his post? No. He wanted pokemon atm. 3DS can wait atleast till it gets enough games that justify a purchase for him. But by his post, it doesn't look like that is coming for a while.

Dude, you're getting things mixed up.  The first sentence is so different than the second two. If he is interested in 3DS games, then I'd lean more towards getting a 3DS or at least getting the cheapest DS around until E3 drops, where we'll get much more info on the 3DS itself. Even then, at the moment, it seems most games coming out by the end of the year warrant a purchase for any fan. I list:


I know the list of games, and they are not so different. Saying the games suck is harsh. I would just say that at the moment they do not justify a purhase. We don't even know if half of the games on that list are going to be good. I think he should wait for the 3ds and get the cheaper ds lite to feed his pokemon hunger and even play some GBA games.
