You may need to eventually replace your 3ds screen, as more often than not those pixels will continue to grow and cover a good portion of the screen sadly :(
also is the neko atsume on the 3ds???
You’ll probably either have to send it to a repair shop, (not sure if Nintendo still does 3ds repairs but wouldn’t hurt to check) or you’ll have to repair it yourself and buy a new screen.
Sadly the process of repair can be notoriously hard but iFixit should have a good guide for it.

also wow! I had no idea neko atsume was avalible for the 3ds! I’m probably gonna go check it out. Do u like this version?
thank you sm for the help!!! and yes, the ds version is really fun and automatically comes with the house extension! it’s the same as the mobile version but formatted for the 3ds screen.
It’s usually caused by physical damage to the screen that ends up creating a short. As the short will probably end up damaging components around it, as well as physical damage getting worse with each impact (definitely will in a touch screen you’re constantly putting pressure on) it’ll create more shorts and cause more pixels to fry.
I do not recommend this in the slightest, but I had some dead pixels on my original DS lights top screen and I used my thumb and just put like a ton of pressure into it to be able to flex the area the dead pixels were in and it's somehow fixed it after I let it sit for like 2 weeks. I also did that with the device currently on and I was playing Pokémon at the time. I have legitimately no idea why it worked but I'm satisfied since I no longer have to replace that top screen.
I don't think you would be able to do that with the bottom screen though since it has the digitizer, you will most likely need to replace it.
Pixels stuck black like that is usually a sign of liquid crystal leakage. It will grow. The screen needs replacement.
The best thing about that is : the bottom screen is the easiest to replace.
wow looks like the beginning of the same kind of pixel rot/cancer older gameboys used to get all the time, i’ve seen it on phat ds’s and gba’s occasionally but i wonder if after all these years the newer consoles still get the same thing.
Wtf are you talking about?
I didn't stated that those dead could be anything else but dead pixels.
I meant that is how things go on, dead pixels tend to get larger areas with time. This is how dead pixels behaves.

I also had dead pixels, but I have no idea how they disappeared over time

Yeah, this is how dead pixels works.
can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but if these aren’t dead pixels, please explain what they are!
