3DS 3DS Good Memories Thread!

The 3DS was where I first played a Kingdom Hearts game with Dream Drop Distance, Street Pass was really fun, I enjoyed Mario Kart 7 enough to collect 20,000 Coins to unlock every Part, Pokemon Sun... gave me Rowlet, Smash Run from the 3DS game needs to come back in some way, I got to play the Donkey Kong Land trilogy for the first time, I thought Fantasy Life was really neat, Edit: How could I forget Theatrhythm, especially Curtain Call, which I bought on day one?

That's when I got serious and really started breeding. I was destroying my friends so badly they didn't want to play any more. Gen 7 is my favorite pokemon gen thougheverbeit

The first two gimmicks were amazing and they should have expanded on that. Megas are badass and Z-moves added a fresh coat of paint to an otherwise stagnant meta. They even tried to do a combination of the two with G-Maxing (which is just a downgrade like both gen 8 games themselves). Gen 7 is where I jumped off. To me, that's the end of pokemon and the beginning of a soft reboot. Even the anime had Ash finally become a League Champion.

I'm sorry, but you're simply incorrect from every angle on this topic.

Then Pokémon are simply copying Digimon there.

I'm more of a classic Pokémon fan anyway.

Have you ever played the digimon games? The monsters generally don't revert to a prior form until you choose to. It's literally just pokemon, but you can also evolve in reverse. Now, I don't want to tell you that either is bad. I have a deep love for both franchises, but let's not get into the old "who dun it first" debate. Everyone knows that road ends with dragon warrior and Squenix doesn't deserve that praise.

my favorite digimon is KaiserGreymon, what's yours?

The bulk of my time with the 3DS consisted of playing the Pokemon games, Ocarina 3D, FE Awakening, and Animal Crossing New Leaf.

I fell out of Pokemon not long after Sun and Moon, but I was getting frustrated with the series even earlier than that, around the time of X and Y. But SM and USUM were the straw that broke the camel's back - the constant unskippable cutscenes killed the pacing of the game for me. Rotom phone didn't help, either. The games felt overall more sluggish when compared to Gen 5, and the Pokemon themselves seemed to lose some of their charm in the shift to 3D.

I loved FE Awakening. I have a soft spot for plots that put a major focus on the concepts of time, and I liked the pair-up system, as it naturally made it easier to increase support levels. Character sprites on the maps look very well done, critical attacks have really fun trigger animations with the cut-in headshots of characters, and the combination of skills being affected by inheritance all together made for a great time. There are still some issues I have with the game in its difficulty and story to a degree, but I loved the game regardless.

All in all, while the system didn't have as strong a library as the DS before it, the 3DS still offered a true handheld game experience, which almost feels like a lost art nowadays.

imo they'll never top the 3DS in terms of personality and overall user experience, especially with those passivs and active community features

I was lucky enough to get a 3DS the year it came out for Christmas, my parents were heavily against video-games so the 3DS was the tamest thing they would get me... for the next 5-6 years. They used to be super religious and believed I would be turned towards the devil for playing on Playstation!

So anyways, I was a full-on 3DS user for all those years. Monster Hunter was the only multiplayer game I owned, MGS3 was the only shooter I'd play etc. and it was great. I moved around a lot during those years so having a handheld was the best thing in the world. I was only able to buy digital games for the most part as the region lock was real harsh, so I only ever owned at most 10-12 games.

I moved on eventually when I got old enough to purchase my own systems, but I find that I have been returning to the system again. It was for nostalgia at the beginning but now I'm just revisiting the titles I never knew existed.

The absolute best memory for me was Nintendo Minute. It was such a fun time to watch the two hosts show off all the new content for the 3DS. Just feels like nowadays all the reviewers come across with an adult-like seriousness to their videos which makes me just hate games. Nintendo Minute made me feel so much hype for everything they covered, and it was a chance for me to scope out what I should save my pocket money for by watching the gameplay featured.

Hell, I'm gonna boot up the thing now ( ◠‿◠ )

I remember my sister giving me her Blue 3ds xl and I loved it I played it day and night, visiting the eShop with no money and looking around was still super fun. The was the first game I ever bought with my own money for my 3Ds "Mario and Luigi Dream team". I did not have a lot of games but the some that I had I played till the end. 2-4 year later on a rainy night getting in to the house I dropped it on hard stone, and it was on the hinge so it split in to 2 but there was one cord still connected and that keeped it from not working I only played ds games for then on in till it snapped

I remember that my friends and i would change the color of our miis to beat those damn ghosts at that minigame in streetpass.

I fell out of Pokemon not long after Sun and Moon, but I was getting frustrated with the series even earlier than that, around the time of X and Y. But SM and USUM were the straw that broke the camel's back - the constant unskippable cutscenes killed the pacing of the game for me. Rotom phone didn't help, either.

The Rotom. Oh my god the rotom. That asshole wouldn't shut up ever like holy shit man, if phones were as annoying as rotom, society would be phone free in one week tops. Another thing i didn't like is that you had to go into a plaza or something to get into online battles, why? it was perfect in gen 6, a menu in the bottom screen and thats it. Guess they had to make space for rotom big ugly face.

Furthermore, i won't forgive them for giving golisopod one of the worst abilities ever.
