>>57346974>>57347105>>57347839i was like this too but CFW literally doesnt change the appearance of your 3ds menu (unlike shitgarbage ps3 softmodding that requires a bunch of stupid shit) so its basically official and pirated games play without issue and nintendo literally doesnt care, the 3ds also has native hardware backwards compatibility with gba so its basically 3 consoles in one though im not sure if you can use pkhex with those
you can also play online with pretendo
there is no reason not to mod your 3ds, nothing will happen, i know its hard to get over autistic hangups about "legitness" (i was like this too) but just do it i promise you wont regret it and you can change it back if you feel like it
