Okay, so I have something that I could use a little advice on. As most of you who've been following my wallpapers probably know, I recently saw one of the new Pokemon movies on TV, and like a day or so after that learned that one of my friends had recently started playing Pokemon Black. All that has made me start to consider getting one of these newer Pokemon games. There is a problem though, I don't even have a Nintendo DS. So my question to all of you is, should I get one of those?

Now I haven't gone over all of the pros and cons. One of the majors pros is that I would be able to play newer video games (for the DS). I mean the only video games systems I have are an old gameboy advance and a gameboy color that unfortunately died years ago. One of the major cons though is the financial cost. I went out to the store where I get Yu-Gi-Oh! cards yesterday, and while I was there I looked at the price of a DS (or whatever the new version is called). The thing cost about $170. 0_0 Plus the game itself cost about $35.00, so that would be a little over 200 bucks right there. I mean, sure I could afford that. I have a good chunk of change stashed away, but I don't think I want to go that nuts.

The other thing to consider is that I'm not sure if I could use all the functions of these new Pokemon games, my main concern being the Wi-Fi stuff. Of course I don't even know what Wi-Fi is. That's right, I'm probably the only person in my age group that doesn't know that, so go ahead and laugh if you want. My other concern is time, by which I mean I'm not sure if I have the time to play one of these new Pokemon games. I mean sure, I could spare two or three hours each day on it, plus a whole bunch of time on Sunday (because nothing usually happens on a Sunday). Still, these new games somehow seem a little more "involved" than the games of the past. So I'm not sure if I'd have the time to make the most of them. Of course there are other games out there too I guess.

So that's my dilemma. Should I get a DS or not? I would greatly appreciate any advice that the good people of TheO, i.e. all of you reading, could give. Although before anyone suggests that I just ask for a DS for Christmas, I should mention that I've already given my finished Christmas list and given it to my dad, so it's set in stone. But I guess I could still ask for a DS for my birthday, or just get one after a few months of working on a part-time job. So like I said, any advice would be appreciated, or you could all just ignore this post. It wouldn't be the first time that people had done that. Thanks for reading.
