About the grapics and the 3D effect... I heard alot of people saying that the graphics is great and one of the best looking games on the 3DS and I heard that gamefreaks decided to not have any 3D effect in the overworld as a tradeoff to hade more beatifull environments with more flowers and stuff.
I dont see how this can be the case..
To me the graphics isnt all that impressive in the overworld. But its still a big improvement from previous pokemon games.
I know many games that look much better like "Monster hunter, Super Mario 3D Land, Kingdom Hearts, Mario Kart, Zelda - Ocarina of Time and many more"
And they all have the 3D effect enabled. The Battles in pokemon X and Y make use of the 3D effect but I dont think it's that impressive. Its very low depth if you compare to many other games and in some camera angles there are no 3D effect at all. And still you will see pretty big framedrops from time to time.
Could it be that Gamefreak havn't learned how to utilize the power of the 3DS to the same potential as many other gamestudios.
Or is the graphics more advanced than it looks?
