You want bad advice?

Anything is okay if you don't get caught!

... I hope this helps!
If you like traditional JRPGs, you can't go wrong with Bravely Default. Both of them let you customize the experience to an amazing degree. You can adjust the encounter rate, battle speed, experience gains, difficulty, etc whenever you want, and if you hate voice acting you can disable it.

Bravely Default 1 has loads of quality of life things that make grinding super easy and once you get to the Really Good Grinding Area you can hit max level, job points and money super fast. It has adjustable encounter rate (from 0 to 200% I think?) and battle speed, you can set up your crew to do move macros to blow up the enemies as soon as the fight starts so all you have to do is hold the stick like hatching a dang pokemon egg. It's pretty much the most painless JRPG to play.

Bravely Second is better than Bravely Default in basically every way, most importantly eliminating the creepy parts of the writing, and not containing a thing that happens near the end of the game that a lot of people (not me) found annoying and demoralizing. And Bravely Default was already one of my favorite RPGs ever. If you don't like the idea of having two really long and similar RPGs, it's plot-safe to skip to the second one. They're both long, but I wouldn't call either of them grindy. You can go into the difficulty settings and turn off encounters. Or you can leave encounters turned on, but turn EXP gain off, and beat the game that way with your extreme cleverness, and then reach the end of the game and ram the level and job caps in like an hour if you want.

The "Pushmo" and "Boxboy" series are excellent puzzle platformers. The 3DS versions of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Dragon Quest VII, and Dragon Quest VIII are the best available. The two Kirby games on 3DS are just short of being the best of them all. There's two and a half Ace Attorney games. Kid Icarus Uprising is a great experience but some people find the controls to be very tiring. There's a good chance you'll like one of the Fire Emblem games available.

They got a surprisingly good selection of Game Boy and SNES games on Virtual Console.

Keep naming games because I missed out on all this stuff and only just recently got my New 3DS XL.

The World Ends With You for DS is my favourite game for the DS, if you can find it. (It's not on eshop.) Out of the things that are: Smash is great if it's your kind of game and especially if you have someone to play it with. Devil Survivor 1 is one of the better recent SMT games, alongside SMT4 and Apocalypse, so I'd also recommend. And Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is the best PMD yet and really good and cute. Oh, and Rune Factory 3/4 are really good Harvest Moon-meets-RPG kind of games. Shovel Knight is also great but if you were interested in it you probably got it for the ten other platforms. :v:

Yes, but Midday form is at least okay at being a speedy attacker while Midnight form's stats make it awful at the defensive battles it is supposed to do.

It'll be Rock/Ghost but with no movepool to take advantage of that.

Oh no, I just think that maybe being rock type is a bad place to be in general.

Yeah, but we're gonna get an Amy or a Rouge instead and only weird people are going to be happy about it.

Man, I really hope this one has a wider movepool and a better ability.

I love the Rockruff family because they are cute and good dogs, but trying to fight with them can be, well, rough.
