For comparison heres my 2ds with TWLoader running Pokemon Platinum

And heres my friends DSi running Pokemon Pearl

I'm wondering if there is a way to "upscale the games so they look like atleast close to the original Ds and yes I know about holding down Start/Select while the game is booting trick, it doesnt have to be full screen but the original ds resolution makes the screen too small.

You can take a look at TWPatcher: https://gbatemp.net/threads/twpatcher-ds-i-mode-screen-filters-and-patches.542694/

But be aware that you won't get the same quality as a DSi with scaling. The LCDs simply don't have enough resolution for integer scaling.
When I said TWLoader I ment TWPatcher, pretty much my brain mixing it up since the icon of it is called TWL, thats what I have been using, and considering that its pretty good I dont have an issue with it, I was just wondering if there was another alternative.

Native resolution with start/select and TWPatcher are really the only options. If you play a lot of DS games I'd honestly recommend investing in a DS Lite/DSi/DSi XL

Also that DSi is almost certainly an IPS screen and your 3DS isn't IPS (2DS is TN only) so it's not really a fair comparison.

In TWPatcher thread you can read the dev intends to develop a AgbBg/TwlBg replacement (GBA/NDS firmware), which could include a way to make DS games look great on 3DS.

But, in case that feature is developed, it would work on New 3DS/New 2DS only since it would need more processing power, which old models lack.
