Is it true that Ds Games Look worse on the 3ds when compared to how they Look on the normal ds?

Yes

Though you can hold down on the select or start button to put them in their native resolution

depends on if you boot them 1-to-1 pixel mode or stretched to fill the screen

#

1 to 1 leaves a black border around the game image, where the 3ds has extra pixels the DS didn't

#

else, the stretch is about 1.32x, and only an integer multiple will look clean, anything else requires blending pixels together in the additional space causing a blur effect

#

a 2x multiple would make each original pixel be a new square of 4 pixels, 2 wide, 2 tall, exactly the color of the original pixel

#

but for that, the 3ds screens would have to be 2x pixels tall and 2x pixels wide, aka 4x the total pixel space of the GBA and DS, which it isn't, it's less than twice as wide and less than twice as tall
