>>56551444Checked. 64DS was a 1st party game launch game though and based on a 3D game, so it was made by people with intimate knowledge of DS development and was a full-on tech showcase for the DS. Pokemon was never a graphically impressive game and there was no need to advertise it as a tech demo game, plus there was no established 'look' for 2.5D Pokemon prior to DPPt which is why they still look a lot more like what came before. BW built upon that. They could have led with something like BW maybe but GF needed time to get used to DS development and it makes more business sense to save a big graphical leap for a future generation, otherwise they couldn't advertise that stuff as a selling point.
