3DS bar was always on the right yeah. :) They changed it to differentiate it from the DS because it's a new hardware, like how the PS3 had the header on the border next to the spine instead of the PS2 where it was on top. (Though they changed it back on top 2 years later, but it was still different in that it was smaller.)
Argh, so much hate in this post. Gamefreak utilized the DS's capabilities to the maximum in fifth gen, that's what the DS could achieve. So pretty much your first statement is redundant. You can't expect that Gamefreak is going to come out first try with out of the ball park graphics, but look how much 5th gen has improved of 4th gen, graphics wise. And by the way, BW2 was no where near lacklustre, read the reviews. 9.6 on IGN means it's good, not bad.
I've seen better looking games on the DS, and even better looking launch games. I'm starting to wonder if Pokemon is the only game you play. But, about your point that I can't expect "GameFreak to hit the ball park"...that IS what I'm doing, and that IS what you're getting mad about apparently.
Your point about BW2 reviews is moot. Assassin's Creed 3 and Street Fighter x Tekken got great reviews, where the former was a glitchy, badly designed mess of a game and the former was terribly unbalanced and completely insulted customers with it's disgusting DLC policy. Want to know why they still got good reviews? Because they're big brands, and reviewers are afraid to give them bad scores because they'd lose
money. Same case with Pokemon. Not to say B/W2 is a bad game, but really really lackluster, and I'll tell you
basically why - it felt more like super B/W rather than B/W2. It was an update, not a sequel. An update to games that should have been like that in the first place.
You are aware the games come out in 9 months yea? Meaning what we saw isn't final hence the point of this thread i.e. we are all speculating including you.
While you may have been disappointed watching Black/White 2, which were actual improvements over Black/white, I don't understand why be this abysmal over an unreleased game that most people agree looks pretty good in its unfinished state.
Yes, and I'm speculating that the games won't be that much different from its trailer. Why am I wrong if I'm doing basically what everyone is doing, except criticizing instead of praising? How is praising unfinished content any better? Or maybe that's why? Because I'm criticizing? 9 months means nothing, and when you consider the fact games usually go gold a month or two before release, it means even less. A lot of games take way more than 9 months to show any improvement. Also...

MOST? Is PC the only place you go to? If you think I'm bad, I know a particular forum that is completely ripping apart the graphics and laughing at it. (and no, they're not anti-pokemon.)
This is a POKEMON forum, everyone is gonna praise it because it's their favorite franchise, and most only played Pokemon so the change to 3D is like a first to them, hence revolutionary. A lot of people thought PS1 game were amazing looking back then, when in reality the PS1 is the worst console to own graphically, and everyone realized that now.
Hey, he has his own opinion. I can respect that.
THANK YOU. It's hard to criticize games without fans jumping at you like you're wrong. >_>
