Geese this thread turned into a pissing contest real fast.
Anyway, referring to your question. If you are just going to play pokemon and nothing else, get a 2DS. It's much cheaper, and will play the game just fine.
If you are going to buy more than one game, get an XL. It's much more comfortable than the original model, and the screen size really makes a difference. I really don't want to play with the original after playing on the XL.
Also, if you are going to buy other games, I would recommend:
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Fire Emblem: Awakening (Best game on system)
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Super Mario 3D Land
Good luck!
