I cannot even begin to imagine - that is, unless you want them to look like N64 models. Secondly, Pokemon's pacing and appeal has a very large and important segment of it invested in its portability. A pick-up-and-play sort of game where you can play for a few minutes and quit would invariably be slowed down by taking it into 3-D (and Diamond and Pearl were slow enough to begin with), the social aspect of easily trading with friends in a group regardless of the ability to connect to the internet, the fact that the system on which Pokemon is played is supposed to be portable, that it's supposed to encourage people to interact with other people... No, it wouldn't work. It would break the spirit of the game in too many ways which have nothing to do with the competitive metagame and everything to do with what the game is conceptually about. |
Why are people continually forgetting Pokemon Battle Revolution on Wii? Which contained unique models for all 493 Pokemon... more if you include alternate forms like Unown and Burmy.
