I'm planning to get a 3DS plus some games. I'm also getting PKMN White.
I'm a bit interested in SoulSilver too, but I don't have so much money, and I wonder if it is worth getting.
Thank you if you're going to answer.

(inb4) Number one, you should not be buying a 3DS if you plan to use it for mostly DS games. Regular DS games look really, really, really bad on a 3DS.
The 3DS isn't a bad system, but it makes DS games just... ugh.
SoulSilver/HeartGold are great Pokemon games, but after you play Black and White, you'll be really annyed with past generation games because they lack a lot of the newer, better features. It's all up to you really.
I've heard DS games look fine on the 3DS. Who said they look "really, really, really bad?"TankZorzThey looked fine in the video I watched, just smaller on the screen if you use the original ratio.
That still isn't "really, really, really bad." If it looks that bad to you, you can always play it at the original scale. There will be a large frame around the games at this scale but it looks fine.TankZorzThe original scale is smaller than the DSi's and with the frames in makes it look even smaller. My money goes towards the 3DS Lite not being that underdeveloped as far as all that planning goes. OP, save your money.

You can play it in the exact same ratio or stretched to fit the screens, but on the top screen it will be displayed in 4:3 instead of 16:9. And they look fine to me.

My money goes towards the 3DS Lite not being that underdeveloped as far as all that planning goes. OP, save your money. Nintendo has already said there won't be a 3DS Lite. By the time they start making new models they will probably start phasing out DS games completely so there will be no need to plan for a better way to handle DS games. This probably won't happen for at least 4 or 5 years but it will happen at some point. Either that or they will come out with a completely new handheld and all DS games (including 3DS) will be obsolete.
