I haven't bought a pokemon game since ruby. I've just been playing them on emulators and such. I some money kicking around to spend on myself and I was considering getting a nintendo 3ds for pokemon X Y. I did a quick search online and the thing is $200 bucks which seems pretty damn steep.
Are there any real benefits to playing a legit copy of x and y? Is it still only 1 game per cartridge? Is trading and battling online a pain in the ass? How does dream world work?
