I actually play on the ACNL patterned 3DS XL that came bundled with the game downloaded on it :3 It was on sale during the time when I went to buy my 3DS and since I had planned to buy a 3DS plus ACNL and Pok?mon, I ended up saving some money by choosing that bundle. Plus, the pattern appealed to me since it's very cute and playful without being overly so. I still like how it looks and playing ACNL on it feels super immersive and themed, haha!
My first game was Pilotwings Resort and possibly also Nintendogs + Cats? I think there might have been an event for the release of the original 3DS where you got two of the launch games for a reduced price, and if so, I got both of them right away, but if not, I started out with Pilotwings Resort.
HHD New 3DS for playing Ruddyoak
Pink/White 3DS XL with Peter Rabbit plates for playing Goblin
Black 3DSXL (nicknamed "Ferdinand") for playing AHS

And I recently purchased a Galaxy New 3DS XL.
I know I have a crazy number of systems, but the HHD one was a gift, and one ("Ferdinand") was purchased used from eBay.
My first 3DS game was ACNL! I bought my mom and I matching Zelda 3DS's, specifically for playing ACNL.
My first ever Nintendo handheld game was Link's Awakening, for the original GameBoy. (It came with Tetris, too.)
