Do you think that 2D games will die someday?

Well, first, i'm 14 years old, and i love playing videogames, i like most genres but mainly i love Indie and 2D games.
Yesterday, i was talking with my uncle and i told him that when i grow up i want to study programming, and because i love drawing cartoon-style, i would like to be a developer and make my own indie games in a 2D style because i love that kind of games and it's my dream, since i was a kid, i dream that someday i can create a game similar to Megaman X, because it's one of my favorite games.
But he said that it's better doing 3D games and i would need to study 3D modeling, because looking to the marketing side, technology is advancing and everyone would prefer 3D games than 2D games at the future.
As i said before, i like any genre of videogames, but i seriously have a personal love to the 2D ones and Indies, and i felt a little bad, but now i just want to post it here to see your opinions.

Thanks for reading and posting your comments, i hope my english is enough good to be understandable :)

Here's a little and cheap giveaway i made to thank you guys :) Fortix

EDIT: Guys, thanks a lot :). You made me feel better, and think and learn a lot from you.
Most people told me that i should study 3D too, and now i think it's a good idea :P. Thanks again, i really appreciate it :)
