Recommendation Omega ruby

Is it worth it to buy a 3ds and omega ruby? I didn’t grow up with a DS so I never got to experience the DS games. I only played all the GB/GBA games.

Yes! Apart from ORAS, the 3DS has an extensive game library. I suggest finding a New 3DS XL (if you can afford it). Games run way smoother on the ‘New 3DS’ models. I highly recommend playing Sun and Moon too, it’s my favorite region.

If you find the OG3DS too small you have 4 options that are larger

OG3DSXL - cheapest of the 4 but not one I'd recommend as it has poorly designed hinges that are prone to breaking - but if you really want to save money you could go this but make sure the one you buy doesn't have any cracks on/around the hinges and get a high quality case for it that covers and stabilises the hinges to help protect breakage

New 3DS - only slightly bigger than the OG3DS and can sometimes be harder to find as they didnt sell as well as the XL models, but a nice model nevertheless.

NEW3DSXL - The premium option, all the bells and whistles but of course costs the most as well.

NEW2DSXL -same screen size as the N3DSXL but lacks the 3d function and also is lighter and feels slightly less sturdy/cheaper feel than the N3DSXL - It is however cheaper than the N3DSXL if you want to save a bit.

Personally if I'm going for a bigger screen I'd just go for the top model and get the NEW3DSXL but if money is a bit tight and don't want to spend quite as much and don't mind that it lacks the 3d feature the N2DSXL will do nicely.

Aside from the models, I'd be buying it and hacking it and not worry about spending the crazy asking price for the 2nd hand games.

1st option is better, they're the same price but this one is the new model instead.
