[Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl] How would YOU improve the overworld/graphics (personal preference)

Give it a better Sword and Shield art style, as FireRed and LeafGreen had compared to Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, HeartGold and SoulSilver had compared to Diamond, Pearl and Platinum and OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire had compared to X and Y. I'm surprised and was (at first) disappointed when I saw the games looking all Chibi, I have since grown to like the look, but come on, imagine seeing Sinnoh revamped and looking more Japanese than in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.
 
so, i was explained it's a matter of game design. original Sinnoh games had a grid-based map and the other pokemon games too till sword and shield, which are in 3d but have a free map and not a grid-based one. Now, the thing is: while it's possible to make a 3d game with grid-based map (take Let's Go games), it's impossible to convert a grid-based map to a not grid-based one (or better, it's possible but it wouldn't work good). To do that, they would need to change many parts of the Sinnoh map, which is what will happen with Legends Arceus. Now, I really don't like chibi style and i am quite angry because even though they wanted to avoid the grid-based map conversion (and it's reasonable because it would have been a different Sinnoh from the one we played back in 2006), they could have used let's go graphics for example. in general, i wished they made the not grid-based Sinnoh map with sword and shield graphics (which is happening with Legends Arceus so yey, but also it's not the remake so rip).
 
I think it's fine, I usually care more about the gameplay rather than the graphics, especially in pokemon where I'm battling most of the time
