Poll: Is it worth it? (DS Question)

[jboking]

Eh, I wasted money on my DS lite.
Most of the exclsuives are shit (When will nintendo give us something besides a Zelda/Mario/Metriod title?)
The only thing I play on it anymore is GH...which I have better version of on consoles.

Ace Attorney? Professor Layton? Pokémon? Advance Wars? Elite Beat Agents?

Ace Attorney, Layton and Elite Beat Agents are all just glorified minigames. Pokemon can go burn in hell for eternity. And I've never played Advanced Wars, I've heard good things about it. Might eventually buy it. Just isnt so many killer exclusives that arnt bunch of minigames or fat plumbers.

Fire Emblem? Chrono Trigger is an amazing RGP that has an active system that eliminates any turn based bullshit. Scribblenauts?

p.s. Layton isn't a glorified minigame and even if you assume it is, then it's a glorified minigame that's fun and worth the money so...

Since no one seems to have mentioned them yet:

Mario Kart DS
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
The Dragon Quest remakes
Civilization Revolution
Age of Empires The Age of Kings
Lunar Knights
Lego Star Wars
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

As for a Pokemon team in D/P. IF your just doing a regular play through then something fire, something water, something grass, a Garchomp for stupidly over powered awesomeness, something that can learn fly and an Hm slave.

Thanks for the informative post!

Well, I just went an got one on my dinner hour (at work) got one for £50 (traded in AC2 as well)

Must say I'm very happy, my boxes are a mess though! I have no idea what team I want to field, maybe a few starters, maybe start a new game, first battle I had I used Bulbasaur and forgot he evolved at Lv16, I now have an Ivysaur haha, give me some team ideas guys! Loving this!

(P.S I'm not getting an R4)

Always nice to be thanked :3

As for your team, mainly go for Type balance to get through the gyms, and as you get towards the end of things, Go for Personal Prefrence but still keep a balance otherwise you'll be in trouble

I hate DS more than anything else in the world.

Can't you just mod your PSP to play Pokemon?

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

I hold that getting a DS just to play pokemon is roughly as justified as getting a PSP for FFVII and monster hunter. Who knows? Maybe you could get a few other good DS games and some old GBA games while you're at it.

Then you have funnelled a lot of good hate onto a worthless target, I'd aim your funnel somewhere useful/comical, but I have no hate, only love, joy and fluff.
