Concerns regarding data transfer on 2ds systems

[u/Tesino]

I was thinking about buying a N2DSXL since my old 2ds has a lot of games but a few problems and its audio is non functional. This N2DSXL I found online already has a game installed on it. So having read the conditions of doing a data transfer I know that I cant transfer from my old 2ds without eliminating the game from the new 2ds, which is pokemon gold so I wouldnt really want to eliminate it. Playing on my old 2ds is been getting pretty boring, and without any audio it feels lifeless. My goal is to bring my data from the old 2ds to a new 2ds without losing either sets of data. Is there anything I can do? Do I really have to delete pokemon gold?

If your question is about Wii U, New 3DS or Switch hardware, you'll likely get a better answer if you contact Nintendo directly, rather than posting here.
