DSi seems goddamned worthless due to lack of a GBA slot, which means you can't do certain things in Pokemon.

I agree. If I were to get a new DS, it would have to be a Lite (do they still sell those anyway?).
You probably already know this already, but it doesn't just apply to Pokémon either.

They still sell regular "DS" systems (if you can find one), and they definitely still sell DSLites.

That is one of the most stupid comments ever. You can't judge DSi based on the fact pokemon isn't 100% compatable.

Ive had my DSi since UK launch and it's a pretty good piece of equipment. Even though the screen is only .25 of an inch bigger it looks as though it's huge compared to the DS lite. There is no way I could go back to my DS Lite now. The sound has improved and the sd card slot is a good idea and the added camera is fun too. You can take pictures of people and distort them which is cool.

The Dsi is a lot more powerful too. The DSi has a main processor with a clock speed of 133mhz compared to DS Lite's 67 mhz. This handles 3D graphics coupled with the 4 times ram, it's a beast. I doubt there will be DSi only games until the user base is bigg enough.

If the DS can do a improved Mario 64 The DSi should be able to do far more. Here's hoping (Microsoft permitting) Rare do a banjo remake/new game

Okay then. I see Stark's Pokémon, and raise you a Guitar Hero. I'm sure there are even more examples out there...

Seems completely pointless to me. Why get a phone with a crappy built in camera when I could get a DS with a crappy built in camera and otherwise less compatibility than the older iterations of the system?!

I do like the built in opera browser and the little shop, but I'm perfectly happy with my normal DS. It's from the ORIGINAL launch, when they came with the Metroid Prime Hunters demo, and it works perfectly

And it can also run Opera.

Oh yeah! Just need to buy it in the store! One more reason for me not to move up to the DSi. Besides, I have an iPod Touch that can go on the internet

And I have an HTC Touch with Opera preinstalled.

Yeah, I only have my DS to play some Pokémon on and test my homebrew.

When I first heard of this, I KNEW it was a bad idea. Getting rid of the GBA slot completely alienates it from me, and I don't need any of the other features. I got a digital camera, got several ways for wireless internet, got a DS (Though I want a DS Lite cause my old DS is breaking apart

).

The DSI, as far as I can tell, is going away from being a gaming console, which is the only thing I'd want it for. It's a fucking GAMING CONSOLE, NOT a small portable computer. So no, I don't have a DSI, and I never will. Personally, the DS also alienated me slightly cause the GBA slot would allow old Game Boy games, but I have an SP for that.

Poking back to the Pokémon thing Stark mentioned, it's quite difficult to complete the Pokédex without a GBA slot.^[1][2]

Then use an old DS. Though that's really the point, why use an old DS if you have a newer model? Cause the newer model SUCKS.

Let's just say that Nintendo are really gonna burn themselves. Probably not fatally as there -is- a market for the DSi, but still...

No no, Kawa.

Don't you see? It's another ploy to make you buy both versions of the GSC remakes. "Oh, you can't get those pokemon anymore? That's okay. Buy the New™ Pokémon game with extra pokemon that you could get before anyhow!'

Don't like Guitar Hero and while Pokémon is fun it's still playable and finishable so why would I care about the lack of a GBA slot?

I apprieciate that some people like Guitar Hero a lot but there are a ton of people who couldn't care less.

Your bluffing. I call.
