>>57954753As the guy you're responding to, aside from DP and maybe Platinum if you're feeling particularly stingy, no the 3DS games weren't really better than any given DS title. Maybe the connectivity features of ORAS or some of the good stuff in USUM are better, but the experience is severely dragged down by a lot of other factors in basically every game (XY just being worse than ORAS in every way, ORAS being worse than base RS in too many ways let alone Emerald, SM being too full of bullshit cutscenes that drag the good fights down, USUM being better in every way that matters but functionally removing the story and keeping most of the cut-scenes then adding more on top of it, performance issues because the models are too high poly).
I was more referring to how several developers were afraid of losing the Wii/DS casual audience, to the point that they overtutorialized to the detriment of their game. The worst example is probably Skyward Sword, though even the excellent Mario Galaxy 2 fell into this a little.
