It's not nearly as big of a problem as people make it out to be. A fair few of the 3D models kind of suck but that's been the case for Pokemon sprites during most of its lifespan. This was inevitable, and although I think Gen 3 and 4's sprites are awesome, I would take the current style of graphics over Gen 1, 2 or 5's battle graphics any day of any week.
