3-D vs. 2-D In Pokemon Games

I am a huge fan of 2D myself. When done right, it looks fantastic and will still look good years after.
I was quite disappointed when Game Freaks went with 3D for the DS pokemon titles instead of trying to actually make good-looking 2D games. We didn't really gain anything in retun either, since the third dimension was never used in any notable way to improve the gameplay. It was a gimmick at best. I think the look of D/P/P is the main reason I still consider the 4th season to be the weakest by far.
That said, I would totally support a fully 3D Pokemon on a console that could handle it. I must also admit that Black/White is one of the better-looking 3D-games on the DS. Would still have been better in 2D, though.
