The fact that GameFreak is dropping chibi models in mainline games and being a tad cinematic could be a step in the right direction. The idea of where it could go on a system stronger than 3DS sends chills down my spine, like Pokemon games almost wouldn't need an anime adaptation to do a region's story some justice.
