Why do you think Pokemon hasn't made a successful transition into 3D?

They tried a couple of times on the Gamecube with Colosseum and XD(im not kidding thats its actual name) but they were less capture them in the wild like the gameboy/ds ones and more "there are about 60 that other trainers have that glow purple, you steal have to steal these ones and only these ones"Zing said:
and maybe its just me but i dont think pokemon would work to well as a full 3d game
I think the main problem is that they try to keep as much as they can about the 2D look when they go into 3D (this rarely ends well and ends up looking like a cheap kid's TV show), this means that you end up with something that isn't quite 3D (it all lokds a bit too drawn and cartoony for that) but it isn't quite 3D (it doesn't have the same artistic flair and detail).
Most of Pokemon's appeal lies in social contact and discussion about the game. Put it on a console and it'd defeat the whole point of it. The trading, the on-the-go link cable (well, now wireless) battles, you can't do that with a console. You can flip-flop memory cards around, but that's not half as good as having the entire game with you and being able to play it on the bus on the way to school.
i dont see why they dont try it. I know their audience are kids, but the majoirty have grown up now an di think they can handle a 3d environment.

Pokemon XD was pretty good. The animations that they put in for each Pokemon was a nice touch, too.
Plus the fact that XD allowed you to get Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, AND Lugia, the last of which couldn't be acquired outside of an event, easily and let you transfer them to a GBA game, then migrate them to say, Diamond or Pearl was very helpful.

really i can already picture this in my mind, even if it was nearly the exact same game as the old ones, i would just love to see a 3D experience, i wouldn't expect amazing graphics but i would love for them to make a nice open world experience, but please...pleaseeeee
this time make the TRAINERS AVOIDABLE! i swear that was my one annoyance, i had zero potions and was freakin poisoned by some stupid arbok and i'd hit a trainer after trainer because they can't be tricked so i'd end up dying and have to grind a few levels a while back

While a Pokemon MMO sounds like an excellent idea, it would almost certainly do one or more of the following:
1: Be completely and utterly aimed at 7 year-olds. By which I mean overly simplistic, brightly coloured, easy...
2: Go for the "you are special" treatment...this may count as the above
3: Defeat the purpose of "legendary" Pokemon (ie how many Zapdoses can there really be?)
4: Be stuck on the Wii, which I don't think can really run an MMO.
As for other Pokemon 3D games, the traditional RPGs work best on handhelds. As do all good RPGs, really, imo.
The console games...Stadium was a fun multiplayer experience, Colosseum I have never played, and PBR is just a lazy excuse to make cheap money.

It's supposed to be in 2D!
