    What Y'all think?

    for the next generation of pokemon should the game be 3d or cell shaded since it will probably be fore the Nitendo DS XD
     
    Um... I think this goes in Pokemon General. *moves*
     
    This also needs a poll...*adds*

    Cell-sahiding will definitely work best for a pok?mon game. you don't want the pok?mon themselves to be overly realistic looking...
     
    I think 3D, normally Im a huge Cell-Shade fan..but it just wouldn't seem right to me to have a cell-shaded pokemon game.
     
    Making them look realistic would be awesome.
     
    I like cel-shading myself... 3D isn't going to look that realistic anyway... but still... *drools over the thought of a Pok?mon virtual reality game*
     
    It really depends on who's doing the Cel Shading, and if they're going to use those same tired 3D models otherwise. You could probably get a lot more expression out of Cel Shading, so I'll go with that.

    And Pokemon looking too realistic would be no different than going outside and looking at plain old boring animals IRL. Even if the tail is on fire or the wings are made of ice (for example), they'd lack expression and character, for the most part.
     
    Well, for the next game, they need to concentrate more on the actual expressions. If it's on Game Boy or DS, then there's not much they can do about it, but if it'll be on the N5 or something, then they'll have the power to tweak with the Pokemon's expressions. A bit like Pokemon Channel, only not as pathetic basically. Out of the options given... probably more realistic, anything in comparison to Soul Calibur II or Star Fox Adventures would suit me fine. ^_^
     
    Cel shading. Pokemon are meant to be colorful and full of emotion and expression. And with their spikey fur and other decorations, some of them just translate poorly to 3D, like Gengar and Primeape. And Eevee never opens its mouth! It needs expression!
     
    Frankly it would be rather hard for them to mess with the expression, since expression usually goes hand in hand with communication and emotion, neither of which Pokemon never expressed very well. :\ But I myself would liek to see a more reaslistic pokemon game.
