Nintendo Confirms New Nintendo 3DS Will Be Region-Locked
In a written statement, Nintendo confirmed that the New Nintendo 3DS will be region-locked and unable to play foreign games outside of the system’s region, with the company confirming that “the situation will be exactly the same as for the current family of Nintendo 3DS systems” (3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS). Though the New Nintendo 3DS will be receiving added games with its faster processor that previous 3DS models could not play, its region-locking means it won’t be able to play other games outside of its region, just like the other 3DS models.
The New Nintendo 3DS will be releasing in 2015.

Ache I may get one to get back into pokemon. xD
If they even have pokemon on it, I'd have to look that up, but I'm interested in this..
I don't really like how it's bigger, but eh.
Well I'm like 99% sure that 3DS games will be compatible with this, so yes, there will be Pokmon. X/Y and OR/AS. Or Mystery Dungeon, if you're into that.
