The DS was underutilized by Game Freak. Seeing as how the DS can run games like KH recoded and 356/2 Days, i dont see any reason as to why it wouldnt be able to run a turn based RPG.
The DS is as powerful as PS1 even more so in some areas. I found BW lazy compared to the other DS games that were out by their time. They could keep the overworld as it was but the battles could certaintly be 3d.
And tbh, i felt the XY graphics werent impressive for 3ds either. When there are games like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Kingom Hearts DDD with ps2 graphics on a handheld, pokemon XY doesnt seem that impressive by comparison.
Its seems to me that after gen 3 GF focused a lot more on addons, connectivity and content over graphics. Pokemon up until gen 3, including games like Colo/XD, still had a rather traditional RPG structure to tem with dungeons, bosses, side quests. But in gen 4 they took a new turn with wifi, focusing more on trading, online battling and downloadable content.
But i feel like this was done at the expense of graphics. GF wanted to make games with multiplayer value it seems. I would personally prefered it if they concentrated more on graphics and ingame content over wifi. It would have made a different impact.
