You're right of course but that's not always their reasoning, see Pokemon Black & White 2 on DS! Tho i put that down to the Pokemon guys being lazy and slow beyond belief. At least, they're putting out some 3DS apps to cross-support it, so it may as well be a 3DS release i guess.

I disagree with this.
Pokemon BW2 is on DS because BW was. The entire competitive metagame is DS based, I'm not so sure if a 3DS game would have backwards compatibility with a DS.

Although I think that the real reason is that this is the third game of the generation (there has always been 3 games per generation outside of Japan) and that having it on a different console would be a stupid move.
