Unlike previous Pokemon titles on Nintendo 3DS, Pokemon Sun and Moon don’t feature any 3D elements. According to US Gamer‘s Kat Bailey, developer “Game Freak has dropped 3D entirely” for its upcoming duo of Pokemon games. Read on below for Bailey’s thoughts on the matter:
One strike against Pokémon X and Y was its poor 3D implementation, which was patchy and tended to hurt the framerate. But rather than try and improve it for Sun and Moon, Game Freak has opted to drop it altogether. Why? At a guess, it’s because it doesn’t play nicely with their engine, and because they have bigger fish to fry. But with both Fire Emblem Fates and Super Smash Bros. both supporting 3D and looking markedly better than Pokémon Sun and Moon, it makes one wonder how good Game Freak’s tech actually is. With all that said, I never turn on 3D anyway, so I don’t really care. But I’m sure a few people will be disappointed that Game Freak is moving backward rather than forward on this front.

Same here. I never use the 3D unless it is “required” (like certain parts of Super Mario 3D Land).

I thought 3D looked pretty cool during battles in X, Y and ORAS, but the framerate change was definitely noticeable. Imo, it would have been cool if solid 3D was implemented as a New 3DS-exclusive feature.
