What was the problem was an excessive use of polygons where it wasn't necessary. There are games on the 3DS that visually look better, and the use of 3D doesn't lag the game. It's because the polygons in that game were used efficiently.
If the developers at GF learned to make the same models of Pokemon without taxing the hardware of the console so much, 3D would be smooth as fuck. Which is what I'm hoping for, and not that they take the laziest and most inexperienced approach and just downgrade graphics entirely.
