I’m fairly new to all this Poké madness. I didn’t get into the series until Sun & Moon, which in case you didn’t know, came out only one year ago. So in the grand scope of things, I’m still a baby to everything Pokémon.
Still though, that doesn’t stop me from loving it all! And I’m even luckier in that I have two kids (my oldest being more into it than my youngest) that love to play it too. Seriously, there’s so many Pokémon toys and such around the house it’s insane.
This is a significantly awesome upgrade from their wedge 2DS’ to these super awesome 2DS XL’s. It’s something that I was on the fence on, but as soon as this Poké Ball Edition was announced, it was hard to pass up. Heck, I’m strongly attached to my New 3DS and this is making me want to get back into an XL.
The design is gorgeous. The matte feeling to it, the color that just pops out at you, everything feels so great in the hand and I’m sure it’s a dream to play on. And compared to the New 3DS XL and New 3DS, it’s not that big of a difference from either of them. Slightly smaller than the XL, slightly bigger than the regular sized. So it’s juuuuuust right if you’ve ever found yourself in between the sizes.
And the button! The button on the front clicks! And not just a whatever click, it’s a satisfying click and it’s a cool feature to having on it that makes it pretty unique. I absolutely adore the faceplates of my New 3DS and I’m happy with the size. But this Poké Ball Edition is good enough to be my primary handheld thanks to how great it looks and that silly little button.
So how do you feel about the Poké Ball Edition?! Or just the 2DS XL in general. Ever going to pick one up? Or do you think the 3DS line is dying a slow death? And Ultra Sun & Moon comes out TOMORROW! EXCITE!
