As a total fan of Poison types, a dedicated Poison type legendary would be awesome. <3
Admittedly, I would be way more stoked about Sun and Moon if I actually managed to entirely finish any of my Pokemon games since I bought Pearl. I've bought one copy from every Pokemon release (except for X2 and Y2, since I hadn't even beat my copy of Y), so... I have a lot of hours to sink into Pokemon games already. And, honestly, finding the time to do so, especially now, isn't an easy task.
Still, today, I went out to both GameStop and Toys R Us for their sale and event.
After encouraging my husband to get one, we picked up the new 3DS that came with the Red and Blue Pokemon games already installed. So he finally, FINALLY has his own 3DS system, instead of having to borrow mine, which means we can now actually trade our Pokemon to each other easily. (I've bought him opposing Pokemon versions from the Black and White and X and Y releases when they were released, so yay, he has lots of stuff to do.) With him finally playing, too, I'm sure I'll be really absorbed back into Pokemon. So, needless to say, I'll probably end up with one version or the other. xD;
From GameStop, we just bought my son a master ball plush and a code for Pokemon Yellow for me. As the one out of the three GameStops within a 10-15 minute drive of us that we actually went to is the most popular, all other plushes, aside from Pikachu and a couple great balls, were sold out by the time we got there. And my son already has a great ball and a Pikachu plush. (We first went to pick up my husband's DS from Toys R Us since he bought it online for in store pick up and we wanted to make sure they absolutely didn't sell it off anyway.) They gave us a Pokemon poster with our purchase which will soon be hanging in my son's room, too~
Then we went back to Toys R Us, since their event started at noon, and picked up the Pokemon cards and posters they were giving out. We ended up with three sets, one for each of us. I'll be hanging onto my son's Pokemon cards and giving them to him when he's actually old enough to handle them without just ripping them. I expect that with two nerdy, gamer parents, he'll be equally as nerdy. (Or at least I hope so. xD)
And, Cita, though I am not entirely sure about this myself, my husband says there aren't really any games exclusively made for the new 3DS (maybe one or two?), so he doesn't feel it's worth trading in your current systems and having to fork out a good chunk of change to compensate price differences. I have the extra amiibo reader which works just fine with my 3DS XL, so if your only interest in it is the amiibo support, I'd just pick up the separate reader, if you don't already have one.
