DS, DSi or DS lite?

Really sorry if this counts as a DSi thread, it's just this question didn't exactly seem to fit under that sticky.

I have read up about all three, the DSi sounds clearly the best, but it will have a high price tag. I can get the DS for $70 AU pre-owned, which isn't even that much more than a DS game, a DS lite for $200 or a DSi for $300. I pretty much want the DS because of Pokemon entirely, and to lesser degree GTA: Chinatown Wars. So is the DSi worth the extra money? Or should I just get a lite? or is the difference so neglible that a normal pre owned DS would be best?

I'd go with the DS Lite. I traded in my fat DS for the DS Lite awhile back and couldn't be happier. It just looks slicker and I think the screen is better. It also plays GBA games, so if you ever want to play Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald you are good to go.

I'm getting DSi from amazon as it got new features and improved ;) Also mainly for pokemon because I've played pokemon green a lot on my game boy color

Unless you want the features in the DSi, then you're better off getting a Lite.

If Nintendo had any big plans for DSi features (most importantly the SD card slot), I hope they would tell us. (i.e. Virtual Gameboy? More downloadable games announced?)

For now, DS Lite.
