>>14555255Me being unbiased, I bought my 3ds in the beggining of the year to play Kingdom Hearts 3ds, Mario, etc. I also wanted one so I could play X and Y.
About two months ago I sold my 3ds and got a 3ds XL because they were so much fun. I honestly love it and its concept. I recommend you getting one just because of how fun they are.
Now back to the pokemon topic. X and Y are honestly the BEST pokemon games ever. Theres so much to do and it keeps you so occupied. Its honestly the most fun i've had playing a pokemon game ever and thats saying a lot. If I knew how fun X and Y are and I didnt have a 3ds I would definetly buy one JUST for it. I say yes buy one just for X and Y but there are also other good games on the 3ds that you can play.
