3ds xl is deff the standard in battery life/usability

Sounds great! I want it even more 0.0

Better than B/W/B2/W2 (not hard to beat those shit titles.. haha!)
It's amazing and nostalgic to see them make use of so many old (original 150) pokemon. I think they've done it justice too!
3D was really well implemented. Even general gameplay in non-3d.
Wireless connectivity / implementation could be better.

I've been playing on my 3ds and the battery has been dying pretty fast (only a couple of gameplay hours per charge).
I'm gonna sell my 3ds tomorrow and go and buy an XL.

The lag IS noticeable however it's only when playing in 3D mode (which i only do 1/4 the time)

Overall i'm super happy with it so far!

14 hours in have 7 badges and the legendary already, the game seems to not be the usual time grind that they tend to be. The exp share now works regardless of Pokemon who holds it (actually a key item) and the story is "meh-to-good" battle graphics are ok but there is some odd lag. I don't use the 3d feature.

The xl is a great device and it's battery is better which makes it worth it.

So... People who have played it (assuming you're still visiting reality every so often, and not totally dissolved into the game): how is it?
How does it compare to previous Pokemon games, apart from the 3D part obviously. Similar kind of experience?
I'm considering getting myself an xl to play it on, but need a little convincing first, I think.

what

assuming u mean keep 3D off...................

2DS. 

I wasn't the one who went to pick up the game, but I was told they have display models of the 2DS, and it is decent.  I might go take a look later.  If money is your reason for waiting it might shave a little of the cost off.

Someday, if I'm still playing games, and have a 3ds I might get one, probably Y version or wait for the updated release, plus the bunch of games from 3ds I want to play

Never change.

this game has pretty bad lag but it's still v cool

I'm picking up my copies in about 30 minutes. I look forward to playing them 3 months from now when I get a 3DS...

It should be arriving in my house at some point today, but not mine...I may watch.

I did win an auction yesterday that included red though, so...

Done.
Mine is 2852-7810-4417.

Also already played some of it. It's pretty good, after the let down of B/W 2 which in the long run felt more like a struggle to play, this one is pretty awesome overall.

Pokemon? im still into dat digimon

I pre-ordered
