OMG...!
I didn't know if 3DS is already 15 years old!
I don't have my fan art of 3DS birthday anniversary, but I have upcoming my fan art of 9th anniversary of Nintendo Switch on 3 March 2026.
I have four machines of 3DS XL models.
1 Old 3DS XL Pink White USA (2013)
1 New 3DS XL Pearl White USA (2017)
1 New 3DS LL Pearl White Japan (2018)
1 New 3DS XL White & Black Fire Emblem edition PAL (2020)
Bigger is better because it amplified the volume of NDS games sounds when being played on New 3DS XL machine.
I love the White color of my 3DS XL machines.
Neither of them, because: 1. The graphic in 2D pixelated was too outdated for my taste. 2. I already have Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu with feature based on Pokemon Yellow so I don't need the archaic GBA version.
Well, I have a LOT of video game machines, both Nintendo and PlayStation machines (XBOX 360 too). I have GBA games, NDS, 3DS, GameCube games, Wii, Wii U and Switch from Nintendo machines. I have PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, and PS5 from PlayStation machines. I still played all of them despite I rarely (almost never) touched older games like GBA, GameCube, PSP since I have lower hype with them.
I'm not a fan of Zelda games, but I only have two Zelda games, the Toon Link version since I like the Chibi looking
I have Wind Waker Wii U and Tri Force 3DS, but I almost never touched them since 2 years ago.
I just tried the games for curiosity and still I didn't have that much interest to continue them even I chose the Toon Link version.
Oh, gosh... I still haven't even finished this game, even the Ultra version. The Gen 7 Pokemon design doesn't look very interesting for me by majority but one Pokemon design that I have interest about is ZERAORA.
I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon franchise but I hope for the gen 10 Pokemon game the plot storyline is not the same typical 10 years old kid leaving from Mom's house, meet with Professor, choose 1 from 3 starter Pokemons, have a rival, encounter with team villain, encounter the Legendary Pokemons, catch them, the end. That sounds boring and not a genuine adventure, looked like rehearsal adventure. I want to see more serious adventure, perhaps started by a stranded survivor young teenager after the disaster strike by Legendary Pokemon, you wake up and surrounded by 3 starter Pokemons, you choose one then you explore the small village that being attacked by team villain. The team villain is really a threat, not a funsies clown and they don't hesitate to harm anybody even your main character. You meet with professor eventually to find out the cause of the ambush of team villain and strange phenomenon of Pokemon. At the end, the team villain with main antagonist found the Legendary Pokemons and misuse them to destroy the world and no joking. The Legendary Pokemons themself also the sinner of human version that turned into monster. Your main character almost died by the strike but got covered by your friend or starter Pokemon then they died to save you for more dramatic story. The Legendary Pokemons eventually get defeated and turned back into human version, realized their mistake and being controlled by the main antagonist. The main antagonist got defeated by their accident death or get arrested by the police troopers, the ending kinda bittersweet fir losing your friend or your starter Pokemon to protect you from the harm. And the end. This is the better plot storyline for Pokemon games.
Not interested with pixelated 2D graphic Pokemon games like that. I heard Pokemon Let's Go games on Switch was based on Pokemon Yellow which equally same as Pokemon Red / Blue / Green and it was region Kanto so I guess I'm already enough with my Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu.
Pokemon X was my first Pokemon game I bought from my salary. I didn't know that much about the Pokemon variety from Gen 6, but after looking through their design, I think XERNEAS look the best for me. Also, X letter name sounds very rare and exothic.
Nah...
Before that I was excited until I realized something that suddenly turned me off.
I still have my backlogs from Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2 so I'm good.
Hoenn region have a lot of weird looking Pokemon, really hard choice for me to choose the best looking one. I think the only choice for the best looking is KYOGRE.
I don't see any reason to get Switch 2 in hurry.
The games still dominated by game key card release, the games price for 1st party games are not cute, the gameplay quality from 1st party games itself still not convincing me enough, I'm not sold with Black color bundle, the machine price currently still not cute.
I will wait and see if the price hike will make it better or worse.
And here in my hometown Surabaya, I keep seeing literally with my own eyes there are some gray area game shop who offered the installation of pirated Switch games and CFW hack installation for Switch machine. And I keep hearing the swolen Switch machine because of CFW that caused the battery dying quickly. Also, a lot of people in my country Indonesia keep hearing the misleading about how to play the video games easily by hacking the machine and play pirated games. I'm glad my eyes had opened the reality and I played original games since then after I got original games and machines.
Not really a fan of Gen 2 Pokemon design by overall, but only one that stand out for me. It's LUGIA. I know Pichu is cute, but I prefer something more humanoid and cool looking.
I personally prefer the 3rd party Paper Mario style games than the Paper Mario games itself because they have more appealing character design and aesthetic environment.
I already have Bug Fables too, PS4 physical version by Limited Run Games.
The only Paper Mario game I like the most is Sticker Star because the 3D Things sticker Summon was like Final Fantasy VIII Summon, I got the appeal from 3rd party games experience.
I don't see the Switch 2 physical release from that picture above. It just only Switch 1 & PS5 version. For once Ubisoft can be smart to sell their games in proper physical release.
I personally prefer the humanoid looking Pokemon but Hitmonchan design doesn't look very good as Boxing Pokemon so I choose Machoke for Bodybuilder Pokemon.
For non humanoid looking Pokemon, some Kanto Pokemon in my mind that can be look good in anthropomorphic fan drawing such as Arcanine, Raichu, Charizatd.
I didn't grow up by Pokemon franchise so I have little interest to play them despite I have collected quite a lot of the games. Pokemon X 3DS was my first play Pokemon games by curiosity and I found it was mediocre compared with my gaming experience from Monster Rancher games, Final Fantasy games that have more interesting battle system. Surprisingly, Yokai Watch and Nexomon stole my attention more than Pokemon games Yokai Watch 3 is my most played Yokai Watch games, even longer than all my Pokemon games.
@andykara2003 The problem from recent Mario Tennis game I have (ACES) was the gimmick behind of unlockable stuffs from Career mode which there were some impossible to clear missions if you cannot shot on the targets precisely with gimmicks. I stopped playing ACES because of that gimmick. Mario Tennis can be interesting cartoonish Tennis games for me but it seems Nintendo put some unnecessary gimmicks that made the games harder to play.
@Suketoudara Well, yeah. Still 0 from 10 for every game key card release, doesn't matter how great are the games. Sell the product properly, full physical or full digital, no BS in between.
@Oldstalk Well, if the Switch 2 games condition already looked unappealing (game key card), I will get upset. I still keep my eyes on Switch 2 games release, but whenever I found game key card, it made me thinking twice to get Switch 2 machine. I buy the games in proper physical games, not scam product game key card that will be useless in the future.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?
CERULEDGE

And MIRAIDON

These two creatures looked the BEST for me.
But the games itself was the worst in my opinion, even with 60 fps boost on Switch 2.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting Pokémon FireRed Or LeafGreen On Switch?
Neither of them, because:
1. The graphic in 2D pixelated was too outdated for my taste.
2. I already have Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu with feature based on Pokemon Yellow so I don't need the archaic GBA version.

Pokemon X was my first Pokemon game I bought from my salary.
