The 3D isn't worth it. Save money and buy a 2DS. Now, the game is an extraordinary leap in graphics and technique, but the story mode is lacking (as per usual, save Black/Black 2/White/White 2) and finding things to do post-Elite 4 and post-all legendaries obtained can be difficult. Playing online, however, is a blast. I literally just played a rotation battle with an Australian girl and a double battle with a kid from The States. The character customization is greatly appreciated, and the animations of the Pokemon feel awesome; better looking than Pokemon stadium on the N64. If you're willing to wait, in December you'll be able to transfer all your pokemon from previous generations. But seeing as that probably doesn't apply to you, I'd get the game ASAP. Also, pick up Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. Fantastic games, probably my favourite out of all the games (I have been playing since Yellow).
