I think the main adventures should stay on handheld (spinoff stories like Shadow Pokemon should stick to consoles), but I disagree with what you're saying for handhelds. They're capable of doing a lot of stuff with the DS. But if they make the original adventures full 3D, it's hardly Pokemon anymore. We'll probably never see anything 2D for Metroid again, and that's EXTREMELY disappointing. Now they're so desperate to do 3D yet try to convince Sonic fans that they're returning to his roots, so they're doing side-scrolling 3D! I hate that they're convinced that they have to push everything to its limits. 3D Pokemon sounds like a good idea to me initially, but I also anticipated Brawl without end for 8 months and got bored of it within a month and a half. Heck, Communism looks great on paper but doesn't work when it's put into action. Not that I'm trying to say 3D is like Communism, just an example of where things sound good, but don't work that well. I love the battle interface now. And if they change that on a handheld, they'll never go back. Pushing limits is how we got a lot of new games that have practically ruined franchises. Sonic and the Secret Rings, Metroid Prime: Hunters...it's horrifying to me. Graphics aren't that important to me except in the difference between 2D and 3D. There are games like Zelda that work perfectly with a transition to 3D, Mario as well. Then there are games that they try to change that just shouldn't.Recently, I've been wanting a more realistic looking game with the same familiar system rather than a bunch of tack-ons like "new formes (yes, that's the official spelling)". The DS is capable of sporting much greater graphics than seen in the 4th Generation. Bringing the series to the Wii could potentially hurt its following because of the concept of "Pocket Monsters" being a game that you can carry in your pocket. That's the reason that they haven't switched gears to the consoles for further Pokemon Generation development. While my feelings in this post utterly contradict many of my views in the OP, I want the game to remain handheld. Graphically, I'm tired of it feeling the same with very little growth between the Generations.
Look at Golden Sun for instance. That was a GBA game and it sported BEAUTIFUL graphics. With the DS, they could take Pokemon to the next level, with full 3D environments both in and out of battle, along with 3D characters and Pokemon. Keep the system, but the graphics need to feel like the "next generation", not just the gameplay.
I know I sound completely nuts, but you would too if the franchise that started you on video games got ruined by new technology and concepts (Sonic).
I'm all for pushing the graphics to be great, but in my opinion, it should remain an aerial view outside of battle with pseudo-3D, and sprites in-battle.
...The DS is wireless.But we have no gameboy adapter thing for the Wii yet.
How do you think Pokemon Battle Revolution worked?
