i never stated my opinion, i just posted how fans of the original series would react.

A change to full-on 3D graphics in mainline games will be what kills the series for me. There is so much charm in beautifully-made sprites that can't be reproduced properly in polygons.
Where did that picture come from? O_O
This actually looks quite nice.
The overworld should never change completely to full 3D-graphics, though. Sprites add to the whole aesthetic of the Pokemon world and switching to polygonal graphics would ruin all of that.
Pokedex 3D. They used the AR cards.Where did that picture come from? O_O

Is this a Japan-only thing? How do they have health and stuff?Pokedex 3D. They used the AR cards.Where did that picture come from? O_O

They jsut used a background with the AR cards in it...

Just look at XD: Gale of Darkness vs. Black and White.
The top looks bland and uninspiring while the bottom has this great look to it. The sprites just add to the great aesthetic that the Pokemon series has. And as an added bonus, games that use sprites tend not to age as horribly as games that don't.
If sprites are indeed from the "stone age" as you say, why do companies like Nintendo and Wayforward still use them in some of their games even when the hardware they work on is perfectly capable of 3D computer graphics. It's more of a design-choice rather than some natural evolution for games.
In fact, a Pokemon engine with sprites would benefit even more from the 3DS hardware by allowing it to run at a crispy-smooth 60FPS and take advantage of the increased screen real-estate. And the parts in the game that do indeed use 3D-graphics in combination with sprites (Castelia City) will look significantly better.
Honestly, I won't be crying foul if Gamefreak changes the sprites in battles to actual 3D Pokemon models. I do like the sprites but if the battles remain just as quick as in Pokemon Black and are animated, I'll be fine.

That part about how they look is subjective or whatever you call it. I think they both have their own personal charms. I thoroughly ENJOYED Colosseum and XD:Gale as much, if not more than the usual handheld RPGs.(even though they lacked a real overworld). The first pic looks just as good as the second, imo. Just because it's cute in 2D does not mean 3D doesn't have it's own beauty. Mario games and Zelda games looked beautiful with the 2D graphics and remain to look beautiful, even with 3D graphics. Imo, Pokemon needs at least one set of full overworld 3D main games; they're going to have to make the change sometime...have you even seen how many fans also want the change to happen?
You're acting like transitioning from 2D to 3D kills games and makes them lifeless. In that case, why do we have Mario/Zelda titles etc in 3D, despite them having their own 2d charms as well? Should I just write a letter to Nintendo complaining how they killed the charm of Super Mario World for the SNES in favor of Super Mario 64? No, because they both have pros in cons.
of course they cant!stop using zelda and mario? seems fitting considering they are also top n franchises. btw, you act as if they couldnt change battle mechanics, but how can you expect much needed changes if we remain with the limitation of sprites forever? nice insult btw although it isnt all true. if i truely only cared for graphics, i wouldnt be fooling wih n products. i just am one of the many fans who also see this golden opportunity for the main games and who dont hate the idea of a 3d transition. we havent had a true 3d main experience anyway so how could you judge what doesnt exist? you see me as a graphic whore, well then, sadly, i guess i see you as a sprite whore.

Im not using it as an excuse. Im just saying that Mario and Zelda are terrible examples of why they should change it to 3D. 3D really doesnt contribute ANYTHING to gameplay and personally I think it would derp up the look of the game (UNLESS THEY USED CELL SHADING! But it would have to be like WW level cell shading not Gales level of cell) and its purely based on graphics. If like I said. Battles would look cool with 3D hell if the WHOLE battle seqence was in 3D I think it would be awesome, I just think they should keep the sprites for the overworld as far as characters and pokemon and items, everything else SHOULD be in 3D.
