As slight as it may be, I can't say that I'm not disappointed with this announcement. Having said that, I can't say that I'm all that surprised either.
Yes, a new Pokemon (or a remastered old one) would sell 3DS hardware and all of us would have liked to see Nintendo make use of the 3DS's hardware capabilities and make Pokemon a fabulous experience. However, this would ignoring the huge base of potential sales waiting out there on the DS. From a financial view (especially with Nintendo's recent financial situation) it would be downright ludicrous to ignore this base; not to mention the existing 3DS fanbase are still included as a potential sales base thanks to BC (as well as some alleged 'enhancements').
I guess my (and most others') disappointment stems from the fact that this title could be so much more spectacular had it taken advantage of all of the 3DS's capabilities. Being a PC gamer, I suppose I'm more well equipped to deal with this sort of disappointment than others, and really at the end of the day those of us who enjoy these Pokemon RPG's will happily be spending countless hours traversing this world. In celebration of this fact and this announcement, I present my newest avatar tomfoolery.

I really like your new avatar TADS! ^o^
The thing is though that, like D/P, it would really raise the sales for the weeks following it's initial release date. It would also raise the 3DS's overall sales for the year. It is a win win situation that Nintendo decided not to take. By putting out a Pokemon Game for the 3DS they get more money, then the 3DS' owners are happy because they have something to play over the Summer. Nintendo is either too lazy or they are blind to see the advantages of putting it on the 3DS.
