I've always had at least one iteration of a Nintendo handheld since the first Gameboy - I can't picture gaming without one these days to be honest. Gameboy was the first video game related system I owned and set me on the path of handheld gaming. Since then I've always had one to compliment any consoles/my PC. 

I do like the fact brought up about lower budgets and more chances to be creative on handhelds. I fear we wouldn't have recevied many of the great games we have over the years - especially DS/3DS games where touchscreens and dual screens are involved. 

At the moment I am hyped plenty more for the future release calendar for 3DS vs PC, but I do tend to game more on my PC. I figure it comes from the fact my PC backlog is far larger then my DS/3DS and I'm more likely to wait and buy games once a complete/GOTY edition comes out.

Prepare to have your mind blown. The true ending is one of the best endings, if not the best ending, I've seen in any medium of storytelling, ever.Blabadon

Spent 5 hours playing last night that I should have spent sleeping. Finished the Safe ending playthrough. Wow. Lots of new information, but I kind of figured out a few key points from looking at information gathered from the 3 bad endings. It did make me sad given how things turned out, but I'm pumped now to start my True Ending playthough and see if my suspicions are correct. I've been lucky to have very little spoiled for me and can't wait to conclude this story. 

On topic - May seemed like a slow release month for the 3DS anyways. Not surprised most people had low playtimes. Can't wait for all the future releases the 3DS has in store for us. Now if only I could hurry up and tackle my backlog so I could play most of the already released 3DS games I own :P.

May was a pretty embarrassing month - I barely touched my 3DS.

24,004 Steps (Way below my average of 60,000-100,000+ and even then I don't take it every day with me)

9 Titles / 15:19

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors 11:41

Fire Emblem Awakening 2:07

Mighty Switch Force 0:13

The rest was eShop, Mii Plaza, and other non-games.

 

To put that in prespective I already have the following for June

3,072 Steps (Only took it outside today)

3 Titles / 9:21

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors 9:09

Mii Plaza & Activity Log 0:12

 

I am determined to complete 999 and am currently working on the 4th ending, skipping the "fake" ending, then going for the true ending. Then onto VLR!

Picking it up on release day and hoping I don't get too addicted. Large backlog.

I'm mainly basing this off of Pokemon that do not evolve so bare with me.

I always felt there was potential to do something with Unown. I'm not talking about an evolution for each Unown - but what if by having certain combinations of them in your party they could evolve together into one of a few distinct evaluations. They could even gain secondary types.

Lunatone and Solrock come to mind for the same reason as Unown. I always thought there might have been something more to them... a yin and yang effect... where they evolve together or Lunatone would evolve during the day if Solrock was around and vice versa.

Sigilyph I always found myself coming back to in Black 1 and traded over to my Black 2. It isn't the strongest Pokemon, but its appearance it appealing I find and would love to see a more elaborate evolution. 

Stunfisk for the lulz

Otherwise not too many come to mind. As much as I love Digimon I don't want to see some Pokemon have 4-5+ forms in their evolution line.

Not sure if I'll be skipping another console generation or not... things are starting to get pretty intense. 

Really sad to see developers getting screwed as always. I know it's a business, but if anyone deserves a cut from used sales it is the people who made it. Not that I support what is happening. I am fine as a PC gamer which no second hand games market, but I 100% believe Microsoft is going into a spot that could effect more people then just consumers. Getting real ugly.

Could be interesting to see what comes from this. I'm hoping they reveal more version exclusive information prior to the launch window as I only buy one version now. As far as spoilers go I've never really viewed Pokemon as something that can be spoiled as there are very rarely any plot twists and tends to follow a predictable formula. I wish they would change everything up, but we all know that runs the risk of annoying long time fans.

Everyone has mentioned the main ones such as Animal Crossing, M&L Dream Team, Pokemon X&Y, etc.

One I'm really looking forward to is Mario Golf if they put some good customization and RPG elements in.

Not sure if troll...

 

The problem with today - as others have touched upon - is that most people try to associate doing any thing with age. Age does not automatically equal maturity or knowledge as can be seen on a daily basis in this world. Why put someone down for something they enjoy? Just because you might have conformed to "what is normal" by societies views does not make others "childish" or "immature". Often times it is the insecurities of a person that causes them to project these delusions into their own minds that others are inferior simple for enjoying things different from their likes. Kind of like the people who have lost their dreams in life and try to drag down and discourage others from following their own.

So what if I want to play Pokemon? Should I care what others think of me that play no important role in my life? My true friends will be there enjoying the same "stupid hobbies" that I enjoy regardless of what people think.

When you're not sure about the things you're doing or like it is easy to put down those who are and do.
