What do you think is the best Nintendo console for playing Pokemon? I suspect most people will say the DS Lite or GBA, a few may even say GameBoy Color, but I honestly think it's the 3DS. Not because of the 3DS Pokemon games, but because of the sheer versatility and ease of transfer.

DSi is the peak, can only play 4/5 but it’s just the nicest console to hold and looks great.
3ds is usually a little awkward, older games look shit on it due to pixel differences which is why I don’t prefer it even though it can play 1-7.

I specifically mentioned Nintendo console, but can you transfer Pokemon between games and Gens easily using just your phone like you can with PKSM on a 3DS? You'd probably have to extract your save onto your computer and then manually transfer them using PKHeX.

i managed to get gen 3 by dumping the cart files, converting them to vgb .cia files and installed them with fbi. had some trouble getting the sav files to work with them. as for gen 4 and 5 i've looked around and had no luck. it seems twilight menu is the easiest option

Forwarder3-DS makes the Twilight Menu Roms into cias, which bypasses the Twilight Menu and RocketRobz loading screens, but it still usually needs to load NDS-Bootstrap.

probably the colour temps are either too red or blue-shifted on your 3DSes, Nintendo has notoriously poor quality control with their screens. I just kept returning mine until I got screens that were nice.

The DS Lite/i had color saturation cranked up higher than it should have been. Pic related is some weird ds-to-TV mod someone did, but the key takeaway here is that the colors on the DS screen are clearly oversaturated compared to the properly-calibrated CRT monitor. If you're talking about the colors being comparatively more muted, that's because the 3DS has more natural colors. See also the original DS model.

3DS objectively let’s you play the most games, but good GOD is it shit. I hate using it to control anything, especially d-pad reliant games with 4 directions only like mainline Pokémon from 1-5, and without substantial adjustment it fucks up the aspect ratios of every gen and almost all the sprite work of gens 4 and 5, it is terrible

frankly, I prefer playing (almost) all the games on their original consoles, so it’d just go like this in my head:
>gens 1-3 on gba sp (backlit screen is just too good to pass up, and control scheme is similar enough across all games to be comfy instead of clunky)
>gens 4-5 on DSI XL (better speakers, original control scheme, and perfect aspect ratio that keeps all the pixel art and music intact)
>gens 6-7 on 3DS XL (maybe 7 on a new, if only to speed up loading times, but I prefer to just use a base XL)
>gen 8 on PC lol pirate that shit

hold start when loading the game, it puts the game in the native resolution/aspect ratio, looks better on an XL though due to screen size

No, they don't
The 3ds can't truly replicate the ds screens because their pixel sizes are completely different.
DS is 1x1, 3ds is 2x1 to allow for the "3d" effect of certain games, the 2ds also keeps this 2x1 screen.

The pixel sizes are only kind of technically different, behind the scenes. In 2D mode, two rectangular pixel columns are layered right next to each other to form a square which is not perceptibly out of the ordinary. In 3D mode, one column in each pair is disabled per eye and the resolution is doubled horizontally to allow for a parallax barrier effect. Those older Pokemon games are locked into 2D mode, so the pixels aren't actually going to appear any differently.

there is no best console you need several. ds games dont scale nicely on the 3ds screen unless you put it into the integer mode which gives you massive black borders, so youd need to include some flavor of ds into the mix. you also need a wii so you can use the wii games like battle revolution and also the gamecube games like pokemon box and gales of darkness. wii u isn't a good option here since it doesn't support link cable if you mod it for gamecube support otherwise it would be a really good machine

If you mean natively (no emulators), then the DS. It can play all five of the regions that had been released up to that point, something the 3DS and Switch can’t do.
The DS can play FRLG/KANTOOOOOO, HGSS/Johto, RSE/Hoenn, DPPt/Sinnoh, and BWBW2/Unova. By contrast, the 3DS can’t natively play any Kanto games (no GBA port for FRLG, and LGPE was Switch-exclusive)

Means using the actual hardware. As in, plugging the cartridges in and playing the game on real hardware. Virtual Console is an emulator.

You can't and won't go into why it's wrong, because it isn't. That's just how the screens work. You read something somewhere and simply interpreted it wrong. The DS and 3DS screens are different, but that's due to pixel density. The DSi XL has worse pixel density than the 3DS however.

yeah it was much nicer i wish there was a switch flashcart. I dont mind modding systems really but its having to update it all when a new os update comes out which is a real pain. Even if a flashcart was amde though nintendo would block it pretty much instantly. the switches cart reader has its own firmware now seperate from the os so it can probably be updated silently without an actual os update too
