Hey guys! I'm new here and really interested in purchasing a card for my DS. I have a few questions though because I am really confused:

First off, which card would be best for me? I have the oldest DS and the most horrible looking. I don't know if this matters in the buying process. Also, I plan on playing some Pokemon games. I've researched and found one called TopToy, but I'm not sure it's the cheapest/best. Can someone help me out a bit? Thanks.

None of the things you said can help us determine what flash cart is best for you, because all flash carts can run on the DS phat and can play Pokemon.
If you are planning to upgrade to a DSi, then you'll need a DSi flash cart, I would recommend the Acekard 2i.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I think I'm going to get an AceKard 2i just in case I plan on upgrading. Any sites you'd recommend for purchasing this? Thanks again guys so much.

I'd go for Realhotstuff too. Do not buy from any of the sites that are located in Hong Kong or whatever. They may have cheaper prices but you will not get fast shipping times or good customer service from them.

I just got 2 items in the same package from DX and it only took one week. I've never had trouble with DX shipping. However it did take like 6 days for a shipping email to come.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
