The 3DS's dogshit resolution primarily hurts the style of the game due to how important the screen real estate is for an adventure style game, and specifically how the procedurally generated contour line for the Pokemon is pixelated instead of being a smooth "photoshop"-styled line, creating a weird barrier preventing them from fully mimiccing Sugimori's art style like intended.
On the other hand, shit monster designs aside, Yokai Watch does show how much better the overworld could look. They are way better with lighting and color choices, and populate the areas with more busy decorations, like plants, fleshed out trees, small details, etc..
