I would've waited as well, but then they announced the monster hunter themed one so I had to jump on the bandwagon immediately, especially since it's limited gamestop exclusive.
I love pokemon games too. I'm anxiously waiting for an announcement of a new pokemon game.
Nothing really new going on at all. I did sell off almost all of my magic the gathering cards to preorder a monster hunter themed "New" 3DS, that also comes with the new monster hunter game. That's really the only thing going on with me right now, lol.
Yea, I've been browsing around from time to time but Mene seems to be drying up a bit. Although, there is this, dunno if you've seen it or not. [Click me!]
