But you realize it's a sequel to a DS pokemon game, not a new entry in the series, right?

Also keep in mind Nintendo may be wondering which direction to take the series on the 3DS, pokemon has found its success in 2D. Take all things into consideration and you'll see it makes sense.

So what you're saying is that Halo 3 (360) and God of War III (PS3) should have come to Xbox and PS2 respectivelly, because it's sequels. We can't go with that way.

And yes Pokemon has found success in 2D, and bringing it to 3ds doesn't mean that they'll be no more in "2D", they could maintain its "Sky View" to the characters and cities, towns, routes etc.

Nah, think rather Final Fantasy IX to X, then compare to Final Fantasy X to X-2. You'll understand better what I mean.

@2D. Oh yeah, I agree with what you're saying. Nevertheless an important design decision is in the making. That, along with the time it takes to make a whole new Pokemon entry in the series (as Acevil so nicely said) means that this current decision is a sound one.
