I love the 7th gen of Pokemon, I really do, its a fantastic game. But I find the extreme lack of 3D in the titles to be incredibly disappointing.As far as I can tell the only real 3D exists when you use the camera Pokefinder thing. This means that even the battles that were in full 3D in X/Y/OR/AS (aside from battles with more than two pokemon on the screen) are now all in 2D no matter how few pokemon are battling. Now I know the claim would be, "The game now renders your trainer in every battle, so at the very least there will always be at least 3 characters rendered in any given battle, one more than the minimum we'd have seen in generation 6." And yes that is true, and I can even see how that probably does become more taxing on the 3DS. But if an O3DS could handle 3D with 2 pokemon on the screen at a time (albeit at a reduced framerate), surely a N3DS could at least handle 3D with 3 or 4 characters on the screen at a time. Its not an unheard of idea either, Hyrule Warriors Legends can be played in 3D on a N3DS while when played on an O3DS it can only be played in 2D, so such an exclusive feature should have been possible one would think. Beyond that I believe a N3DS could probably handle 3D just about everywhere outside of battles in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
I find the lack of this defining feature of the 3DS in such a high profile game to be a big bummer. I know there are plenty of people that would say, "well 3D is a gimmick, no one should care." Well great, then you don't care about this feature in this game, this thread doesn't pertain to you, so don't bother with that statement, because people like me do care, its a neat feature that adds a layer of immersion. Will the lack of this feature stop me from playing more of the game? Of course not, I just wanted to say how disappointed I am with this specific feature, and its hard not to feel like the game is slightly lacking in that regard.
