9 Pokém🌄on 20th Anniversary (New 3DS)

When 💙the New 3Ds model released, it received mixed criticism. The removable faceplates meant that you could easily change the look of your console, but this also meant any limited edition console was actually just limited edition faceplates.

The console coincided with the re-release of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:generation one Pokémon games for virtual console on 3DS in 2016. This limited edition came with Pokémon Red and Blue pre-installed, as𒆙𝕴 well as an exclusive home menu theme.
