Pokemon's style is okay, although their decision to go with 3d elements on the ds hardware compromises things for sure. Black and White had persistent animated sprites which is ... still playing catch up to 15 years ago. but its progress on their part. I kinda hope they don't switch to 3d modeling though because the Stadium series feels a lot slower when battles play out.
There's complicated reasons why pokemon as is wouldn't work out so well with a capacitive screen, mostly to do with how much the game does certain calculations based on the tile based world. Random Number Generator abusers would rage at moving up instead of left at certain points.
Anyway, should be interesting to see how Kid Icarus does next month as I've heard its being advertised on channels like ESPN of all places. Not sure what segment of that demographic they're shooting for.
