I have seen many changes, and they are disturbing me as it is hardly like the old games, what happened to a 2-d black and white Kanto? Now we have 2.75-D full color, rotating camera, 600 pokemon, and triple battles.
Now what do you say? I know that GAMEFREAK Inc. will do anything to keep customers, but seriously, some things are bad.
Lets take a look at the new features:
This is a Serebii.net screenshot, first off, the new pokemon, many say look like digimon or 10-minute sprites. This is also how we felt about Gen IV so it shouldnt concern much.
Isshu's art is interesting, it has no resemblence to the others and it is far away, which furthers that these are hardly Pokemon games
Oh god, the new battle system. TRIPLE BATTLES-surf/EQ/Muddy water/explosion-half of your team gone. for gods sake leave triple battles to fossil fighters. ROTATION BATTLES-Im in competitive battling, and I know that this will be hell on earth.
To make that better-VGC, the japanese will have months experience, while we will have ONE month eperience. No brainer on the finals
The version differences i like, however we have never seen that great of a difference before have we?
The C-Gear is seeming good, but it looks like crap. I mean, why Hexagonal shapes? it seems confusing to me, but i like the idea.
The pokeshifter, in POKEMON why combine whac-a-mole with archery? It was better when you CAUGHT your pokemon not SHOT them
PS. the sprites, they are EXTREMELY pixelated in my opinion, however i like the fact that they move, hopefully its in a manner similar to battle Rev where they also move when hit.
the rest of it you can figure out yourself

I (almost) completely agree with you! Up until Gen IV the games looked like upgraded, better version. Now Gamefreak just really changes things, and breaks tradition. Isshu not being in Japan anymore, but just made up is really disturbing to me. And what happened to the wonderfull (Sugimori?) art of the region we got to see every time. This map is just a bland an quick drawing. (Is it me, or are there hardly towns in Isshu?)
HG/SS looked liked the perfect, refined Pokémon game: it found the balance between traditional Pokémon games and modern technologies and gameplay. B&W however seem a lot less refined, even unless the 'fabulous' 3D technology. For example: the dream world: what the heck? Is paranormality now a way of linking?! I want Bill and his Global Links!
You said some Pokés look more like digimon: that was exactly what I thought when I saw some. Especially the little orange Mew-like legend.
Some positive words however: Some Pokémon look very good, and look very much like the old skool Kanto Pokés, for example the elec.zebra, en croco and the gray bird.
