DS games on a 3DS or a 2DS

No... they don't... 

The black bars on the side of the top screen are so that the sizes of the top and bottom screen match, since unlike the DS, the 3DS screens are not symmetrical.  But the game is being stretched to fill in the rest of the screen.

Maybe not the same resolution then, but it barely stretches them. The bottom screen is almost exactly the same size as it was on the original DS and DS Lite (at least on the normal 3DS and 2DS), so the black bars also make it almost the same resolution as the old DS. Certainly not very noticeable. At most, an extra 0.2 inches.

It's a pretty noticeable difference to me, to the point where I usually play in original resolution mode.
