Cheebee said: I'm sure they'll stick with the 2D-ish top-down view for regular gameplay, but I really do hope they'll go for all-out 3D battles (like in the N64 Stadium games). They could even use those models from the 3DS's Pokedex app-thingie, those look magnificent! :) |
Sorry to break up your dream but
On why the game uses 2D sprites for Pokemon…
“One of the reasons for sticking with the 2D Pokemon images is, with the 2D, it really depends on who draws it. There’s a lot of personality that’s drawn from the 2D images, whereas with 3D, it’s the same model used for everything, so the personality doesn’t really come out. One of the reasons we’ve stuck with 2D is to get a more individual feel with it.”
In seriousness I expect the games continue the BLack and White direction. With more pokemon and seeing only new pokemon at first. With more focus on online. I expect it to be in sprites with more presentation.
