First of all I'd like to say those of you complaining about your own problems aren't helping at all. It's unfortunate you have broke stuff, but seriously? She needs some help and making it about you is really not helping. I would be in her dismay too if I had no idea what to do when my precious 3DS broke, especially with how nice of a 3DS she has. Her's is pretty awesome, so it's sad if you have no idea what to do when you are in that situation.
Sorry to start on a bad note, but I kept seeing that type of stuff with no help at all, and it kinda got to me.
ANYWAYSSSSs.....
Okay, I'm not sure if you have fixed it yet, but getting it repaired is pretty easy if you know what you are doing. Trust me, I have helped many people get their DS repaired when something like this happens.
I'm from the US, so I'll be explaining this from that point of view.
-Step 1-
First, you need to know some basics about your 3DS. When did you buy it? What happened to it? How is your system responding after it broke? Those are some things that you should mention when you contact them.
Probably the most important thing you need to know is how long you have had it for. If you have had it for less than a year, then you can skip the next step. If you have had it for more than a year, then follow what you have to do next.
-Step 2-
If you have had it for more than a year, then you should see if you can get your warranty extended. Hopefully, you still qualify for an extension otherwise repairing might get costly. A warranty extension involves a Club Nintendo account. I'll tell you now, if you already have a Club Nintendo account, and you have already registered your 3DS, chances are you don't qualify unless you have registered it within the past three months. You can check the status of your warranty through your Club Nintendo account (if you already have one).
If you don't have a Club Nintendo account, make one. You can start by registering your 3DS here https://club.nintendo.com/todo-product-register.do
Where it says "PIN #", put the serial number (located on the back of your 3DS) into the blank. It will then ask you to sign up, or sign in for a 90 day extended warranty.
After that's all said and done, you should be set for some more warranty time.
-Step 3-
Now you need to make a repair ticket. Yours will probably most likely be under "3DS Hinge" so here is the starting process for the repair: https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/repair/repairTerms.jsp?sys=3ds&sym=HINGE
They will ask you to agree to some terms, then they will ask you to make a Nintendo Repair account. It is NOT linked to your Club Nintendo account, so you will have to make another one.
ALSO, BEFORE SENDING IN YOUR DS, PLEASE BE SURE TO BACK UP EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD JUST TO BE SAFE. Sometimes they will send you a complete new 3DS, so it would be unfortunate if some of your data got lost.
After that, follow everything that they want you to do. Don't hesitate to contact them if you need any more questions asked during the repair process.
I hope this helps!

you make me feel special ✧*･ﾟ
Nintendo fixed my Wii for free. I think there was a reason but I don't remember. Maybe they'll do the same for you! 
I hope you get it fixed seeing as it's a Pokemon one and all.

She already contacted them and they won't fix it for free. It's user damage and that's not covered in the warranty.
Clearly I did, my mother said she would rather buy me a new one, than pay 125$ for the chip :/
Nintendo is currently selling refurbished 3DSXLs for $135. https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/browse/subcategory.jsp?categoryId=cat50005
But tbh, it's just chipped. If your 3DSXL is still functioning fine, then just tape it. IMO, no point in replacing your whole 3DSXL unless it doesn't work anymore.

I'm gonna sound like an ass, but whatever.... XP
With the warranty stuff said, I have very little sympathy since it is your own carelessness that it happened in the place. It sucks that it happened, but when I saw the title, I was expecting it to be broken in half or something. Or it simply won't turn on, even when plugged in.
That, I can definitely be a lil more understanding to since that's stuff that can't be fixed. You're making this a bigger deal than it actually is over a lil bumper.
Unless you actually take screenshots and play games that require use of that button, I wouldn't buy a new 3DS (a used one is always an option too). Don't waste your mom's money.
If I were your mom, I would say: "Tough luck. If you want a new 3DS, save up money and buy it yourself. It's your fault that it got damaged and I'm not wasting more money on a new one that you could also damage from your carelessness. I don't care if you're not the one who actually caused the damage. They may have caused the damage, but you let it get into that situation."
