I prefer pokemon to have a 2d topdown look and would rather it look something like octopath traveler instead of having 3d models. I think pixel sprites look nice and because they require more time to animate because each frame requires a resprite, seeing good sprite animation really speaks miles about how much the developers and artista cared about the game itself.
I don't have a problem with 3d models, I just feel as if it doesn't fit pokemon because 3d games usually have free cameras instead of fixed ones and, while sword and shield has a free camera in an area of the game, it doesn't feel like enough to warrant saying the game has a "free camera featured".
Sprites on a 2d area look better to me. That's just my opinion, but it's one of the reasons I like the DS era games so much.
