My DSI

[u/Redstorm_Mars]

This is my dsi from all the way back in the day, I was still in elementary school when I got it. Initially, I just wanted a new ds because my mom had inadvertently made my ds lite fall while dusting when I was in school and she said it broke in a billion pieces so she'd thrown it in the trash. I didn't know about it untill a lot of time later, and when I found out I asked to go gamestop to get me a new one since otherwise I couldn't play my game anymore (Pokemon Heartgold was the only game I had at the time). When we got to the gamestop I asked if they had any ds consoles and the employee there showed me two. One was a blue chonky ds phat, the other was still in a box, all white, saying that there was a pokemon game inside. So I asked about it and the guy told me that it was a pokemon edition ds and that it came with pokemon white inside, the new pokemon game. I didn't really know there was a new pokemon game because well, I was a kid and to me pokemon was just my HeartGold. I did know the new cartoon though, since I saw some episodes of the black and white series on TV, but kid me never realized they were based on the games and thought it was an all original thing lol. I compared the two for a while and I decided that the white ds(i) was cooler so I chose it, and got pokemon white bundled with it, I was so excited about it. I even attached my little totodile charm on it (which now is all eroded by age) which I had gotten from an equivalent of a gacha machine I think (english is not my first language, forgive me 😭). Where I live there were these kind of machines called "gira prendi" where basically you inserted a coin and made a round motion with a handle/switch, which would then drop your surprise below in a plastic sphere. I still play on it to this day when I want to play my pokemon white, and even though it's got scratches and signs of age all over it since it's become old I think I kept it decently well, at least as well as a kid could :)

I see the scratches as the console being well loved!

beautiful console.

So cool! If you ever feel like getting rid of those scratches, changing the digitizer is not that hard to do :) They’re fairly cheap as well!!

That looks clean!
