Why did Pokemon even jump to 3D?

It may end up not being the best in the series, while still being a good game.  Either way, I can't see going back to GBA from a graphical perspective.  

None of the series' best games are on the GBA, though. But regardless, that's a bit of a sad mindset to have.

Correct. The best games were HeartGold and SoulSilver on DS.
