Is this a joke or wut? People don't act like Pokemon has never been rendered in 3D. People act like Pokemon has never had an actual adventure/rpg game in 3D... which isn't entirely accurate either. There have been games like Gale of Darkness that tries to do some sort of true adventure game; I haven't played it though. Point is people want a true Pokemon RPG in 3D, and not a spin-off; but that's effort and at this point they're much more comfortable releasing the same thing every year because it's safer.
