Picked this up for the gf, who has a long flight to Cape Town in a week....
Maybe its because I've never used a 3ds, but hers feels fucking tiny as hell. Buttons seem too small, screen is too small, etc. I know they have a 3ds XL or whatever now, but I'm not about to blow $200 on a handheld for one game. Any tips/hardware add ons/etc that are avialable for the regular 3ds?
As for the game, haven't played a Pokemon since the original in black and white - fun little game. Girlfriend will enjoy it I think. Wish they would take it a step further though, and give you more RPG elements. Still though, the core of the game is excellent and has obviously held up really well. Evolved my Tyrunt last night - thing looks beast. Think they could make a killing on this releasing an HD version for Ipad/Iphone. I know I'd happily pay $50-$60 to use it on a bigger screen with better gfx.
