>>56106998I agree, but would say either GBA SP or New 3DS are the peak form factor. GBA SP because it's small and light, folds shut to protect the screen, and I can comfortably play it and reach all the relevant buttons one-handed for casual egg hatching, berry watering or whatever. New 3DS for similar reasons, but it can play far more Pokemon games, and at least on gen 1-2 and 6-7 I can remap buttons for reasonably comfortable one-handed play using rehid. New 3DS because the extra stick and buttons are great for remaps, and non XL because it's lighter and comfier to hold either one or two handed.
>Nintendo systems sell better on handheldsSwitch outsold 3DS, and the Switch Pokemon games are the best selling since Pokemania. I mostly prefer gen 3-7 myself, but those are still the facts.
