Wait a second, who the fuck sells their gaming system for shoes? What the hell is so good about these shoes? Pfft, his lost. In my high school days, you only sold game systems to fund your relationship.

What's with people selling stuff in high school like this at all? Just buy stuff when you need it.

OT: Anyhow, yes, it's a good deal. It's nice to see you bought into it. 

Now prepair to be disappointed by X/Y if you enjoy very good Pokémon games.

Because all high school kids have money readily available?

You can always ask your parents for some extra money (in my case) or, as many people have pointed out to me, you can get a job.

OK, you're a spoiled high school brat. Why don't you go get a job?

Black kids, man, black kids.  We all place our pride and values in different things. For many of this sites, it's collecting rare games. For a lot of men out there, it's cars or guns. For many teens in black communities, its shoes. As silly as it sounds to me now, I was in his spot a little over a decade ago, and I remember the dilemma. I wanted to give him a talk about how he shouldn't place so much important on things that will be irrelevant in a short time, but I remember the pressure of wanting to gain respect and acceptance through material possessions. At the very least, to not be teased or judged by them and just fit in.

So I'm not going to lecture him on it too bad. I'll let him know my maturation experiences when I was about his age and I stopped worrying about keeping up with the Jones' and got back to just trying to have fun.

Wow, that's...huh...I had no idea. I guess you're right though, a lot of high school kids have that material thing so as not to be teased or judged. He's going to regret it a few years from now though. All part of growing up I guess.

I would say $100 since its used and probably has no warranty! Oh and never get a DS anymore since they are not really worth it and the 3ds can play DS games... And also, before you get a 3ds, always check the screen and I mean in "3d" cause from my experience, most used 3ds has a scratch on the screen which really ruins the experience if you ever use the 3d feature


Ooh, thanks for the tip! I should have mentioned that I was considering a DS because I have a pile of GBA games that I have yet to play because my GBA bit the dust about a year ago. :( Several of the GBA games on Wii U are ones that I own and never got a chance to play, so it just made things more complicated!

I'll probably get a used GBA eventually. I highly doubt Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Super Gunstar Heroes and Tales of Phantasia are hitting the eShop anytime soon.

Did you own an original GBA? If so, this is the chance to upgrade to an SP or a Micro. I remember upgrading when I was a kid to an SP and having my mind blown by my first portable experience with a backlit screen. We take it for granted now, but back then the SP was pretty kickass. AND HOLY SHIT TALES OF PHANTASIA. BUY A GBA, DO IT.

Jumping to conclusions, I see. But yeah, that's what I mean. (Bolded.)

Anyhow, I think we are off-topic. And I doubt you want your thread to be more about what to do with money in high school than what to do about your 3DS.

Hey guys, thanks for all your input. Thanks to you guys, I decided to go ahead and make it happen. I can hardly contain my excitement! Do you know how many fabulous games I've missed out on FOR THE PAST DECADE!? Pokemon, Fire Emblem, The World Ends With You, Castlevania, here I come!*

*OK, I'm going to add them to my tremendous pile of games and, if my calculations are correct, get to them in 18-24 months, unless I mix them in with my current backlog system. So I should be playing The Wonderful 101 by 2018!

Well congrats then! And holy crap have you got some catching up to do. Jesus, that literally is a whole decade of games, DS was 2004. Both libraries are legendary, so if you actually bought every worthy game on both DS and 3DS, and didn't play anything new until you got through your backlog, I'd say 2018 is a pipedream.

You implied you just ask your parents for money instead of getting a job. I asked why you don't go get a job. Any conclusions I've jumped to are conclusions that you've clearly led me to, young one.

Also, you should really go back and read the last line of my OP. We can talk about either, however. Why does Pokemon Y suck so bad? I haven't touched a mainline game since Sapphire, so I doubt I'll be let down.

EDIT: I was just joking about the spoiled brat part, you know. You should be used to me picking on you by now.

I'm both ecstatic and sad that you're probably right. But I've made it my mission to play every good game that every Nintendo console has to offer (which now includes DS and 3DS). It ain't an easy task, but someone's gotta do it.
