How much better could it be? Sure it'll have better graphics, but at this point the Pokemon themselves aren't going to look any better as they have no details like fur or scales to flesh out. And you're right, it might happen when the heads of Gamefreak die. :L |

This seems like there are scales. I can see imagine some HD shine and gloss going over it and some tiny textures that will be visible if zoomed in *if they make a HD model of it.* If Mario can look good with texture in 3D World, so can Pokemon.
The thing I worry about is the level grinding and long animation moves can make the game feel longer than it is... like Pokemon Colosseum. Although Exp Share on X and Y can help out. Man was that a little too generous in the game. Had my Pokemon at level 60 after the 8th gym and I didn't had to grind battles for extra level up before any gyms.
edit: forgot to add the starred text. Hopefully that took away any confusion from that sentence O_O
