What the hell is a living dex?BTW you don't need to know about EV/IV/breeding shit to play/beat these games. The majority of games I played, I didn't even realize those mechanics were present.Play in this order:PlatinumSoul SilverWhiteWhite 2XAlpha SapphireThat should give you a good start. Skip Platinum if you want, a lot of people don't like the region. Soul silver is widely regarded as the best in the series.
Update: despite all of your better judgment, I did end up going with a 2DS. It may be ugly and doesn't fold, but I couldn't pass up on this deal. A local gamestore had a 2DS with pokemon Y combo pack + additional memory card + carry case for $80. Cheapest 3DS (even the oldest and smallest model as a second hand device) I found both on and offline cost over $120 without having any games included. The 2DS may be somewhat crap, but I don't plan on using it for that much anyways and this was just a pretty damn good deal.
A living dex means that you have one living specimen of each kind, as in individually owning a Charmander, Charmeleon and a Charizard.
Of course, I would still prefer a 3DS and I appreciate the advice you've given, but I just couldn't pass up on this. I don't feel like spending all that much on this as there's not really many other games I care about, and this was a console that does it all + one of the 2 games that I want for not even half of what even the oldest and smallest 3DS + a game would cost me. It may look silly and like a kid's toy and it might not fold and shut, but I still think it's a good deal for my situation.And not a fan of the living dex idea?

Once you've had a Charmander grow and become a Charizard, I can't really see myself ever wanting a Charmander and a Charmeleon again. Is it to just make your collection seem more complete? I mean, have at it, but it just seems like a lot of extra effort. There are over 700 of these things now, remember.

Got a 2DS bundle + extra memory card + carry pouch + pokemon Y for less than half the price it would cost me to get a second hand XL. I'd prefer the XL, but it wouldn't be a justifiable purchase, especially at this time.
