No basic questions or those covered in the wiki. Questions which can be quickly answered via a Google search or those which have been addressed in the wiki must be directed to the Weekly Question Thread. This includes game recommendations and tech support topics.
Threads must follow content guidelines. No NSFW content, low-effort posts, vague or misleading titles, reposts, image only, or friend code / request posts.
No spoilers in post titles. Posts with spoilers in the title will be removed. If your comment contains a spoiler, hide it using:

No trading, selling, buying, or begging. This includes links to third party selling sites.
No excessive self-promotion; No affiliate links. Self-promotion must be within 10% of all threads and comments reddit-wide, read Reddit's Self-Promotion guidelines for more information. No affiliate links of any kind, ever.
Link to original source. News, speculation, rumors, etc must always link to the original source of the information. No blogspam or similar.

RIP little buddy, ya did good
It stopped reading game cartridges, so I finally made the move to a New 2DS XL. I’ll miss my cute little slab of a console. We had some good times, but I think it’s time for retirement, now.

Best Pokemon games to start with if you have a 3DS?
As per the title. Never played Pokemons. Now I have a son who's getting into the cards and wanted to have a game to play together. I understand we could also play GBA and NDS games on it. Based on that, what's the best Pokemon games to start from? Thank you all!

Opened my 3ds from sleep mode and it looked like this?
I put my 3ds in sleep mode and turned it back on like 30 seconds later and it had a black top screen and the bottom screen was grey with white lines. I rebooted it and it’s fine now, but I forgot to take a picture so I had to draw it. I was wondering if anyone knows why this happened and how I can avoid it in the future? Thank you.

2DS XL Extreme Wobble
So, I bought this second-hand 2DS XL with a broken top screen, but other than that, it’s supposed to be in good condition. I heard that the top wobbles a bit to prevent it from breaking, but isn’t this a bit extreme? Plus, I can see the hinge—is that normal, or would replacing the shell fix this?

Custom shell
My friend has the silver Mario and Luigi dream team 3DS and he really likes it but his shell is pretty scratched up I would really like to get him a metal recreation of the shell. Do any of you know a good place to start looking?

Put the hardware of a New 3DS XL into a New 3DS shell
The reason is that my New 3DS XL screen is damaged, and I can't find a replacement. However, I can easily find a New 3DS shell and a New 3DS screen LCD on AliExpress."

3ds xl cant find ANY access points
Ok so my friend recently gave me her old 3ds xl, im trying to connect it to my wifi but its not detecting any access points :(
Ive already checked if the wireless is on (it is) but it still cant detect anything. I also made sure its not just my router and sure enough my old 3ds found access points just fine.
I looked up this issue online but literally no one has reported the same issue as me so Im hoping a person smarter than me here could help me.
