11 years later upgrade

I had been a big fan of Pokemon ever since I started not sure playing the game or watching the anime. I had never missed playing Pokemon game since Generation 1. I played Pokemon Red, Yellow, Gold, Emerald, Diamond and Black. Then Generation 6, Pokemon X and Y was recently released in October 12. Had been following that game updates since the announcement. Unfortunately, I need a new console to play the game and there is no emulator for it. To me the changes in the game is just too good to miss. So, I eventually decided to buy a new console for it. With the Nintendo 3DS XL being over my budget, I had to settle for the downscale version of it, Nintendo 2DS. Thankfully, I had a part time job during my previous semester break and therefore had some money to spend on it. Its been almost 2 weeks since I bought my console and started playing the game and until now I have no regrets of it. I can finally utilise the full functionality of a Pokemon game! Currently, I only completed 4 gyms due to my academic workloads, my game progress is very slow.

The last time I got a console was 11 years ago. My parent bought me a Gameboy Advance and PlayStation 1 simultaneously. Was such a happy kid that time :D. If I am not mistaken my Gameboy cost RM280 and my 2DS cost almost double the price. Shouldn't technology be cheaper? Just look at the PC market! I hope there will be more good games for the Nintendo handheld console. With the games being pricey, I can only afford to buy one or two games per year.
