3DS sure was fun. StreetPass was an awesome feature. Mario Kart 7 and New Leaf were great games I spent hundreds of hours with and still go back to.

Pretty much everyone I knew had one (or two or even three) at some point so it was the first time I was really part of an active console cycle after missing out on stuff like PSP which was really popular in my neighborhood and 360. They all own a Switch now but Switch doesn't have anything like StreetPass to bring people together like 3DS did.

scott:
Heck yeah, I remember walking everywhere with my 3DS in a pocket just for Streetpass

sworddude:
Street pass was kinda fun but in ds era days you could literally play mario kart ds with random strangers that pass by. almost anyone had a ds console back in the day

Those where crazy times.

3ds kinda had that but a mere fraction of it. Pretty much Mobile phones only now :P

During the prime time of the 3DS's life, I would travel by plane 6-8 times a year. I absolutely loved spending my entire layover time walking across every terminal to connect to the airports' Nintendo Zones for easy access to StreetPass counts. Just at Chicago-Midway alone, there were five or six individual spots. In an hour's layover, I could rack up over 100 StreetPasses. I haven't checked StreetPass in a while, but I believe I connected to users from all but one U.S. state while also having crossed paths with players from a few dozen different countries too.

I haven't played a mainline Pokemon game since Gold for the GBC. There are a number of reasons why, but mainly it's just that I had lost complete interest in the Pokemon franchise after that game. When you're 10-11 years old, you want to be perceived as being cool and old and mature and Pokemon seemed like "baby games" to me by that age, even though I spent the two previous years thinking that Pokemon R/B/Y and the TV show were the coolest things in the world, lol.

Anyways, I'm a bit older now and I don't think twice about what anyone else thinks is cool or not anymore, as one should by a certain age.

This means I'm now interested in checking out a newer iteration of Pokemon for the 3DS. From what little I've read so far, folks seem evenly divided on what is considered better, X/Y or Sun/Moon. My natural inclination is to just play the newest ones, either UltraMoon or UltraSun, but does anyone wanna give their two cents on the matter? Again, I haven't played any of the games since Gold, I have no idea what newer features that have been introduced into the series since then, if anyone feels like going into depth.
