You never really believed soaring would ever come back did you?
>>29283511
After we saw Charizard in the one trailer, yes I did.

I can respect that actually.

Soaring was cancer
>>29283593
Then your a fool for believing Game Freak would keep soaring a feature
>>29283496
Soaring was kinda fun, but ultimately a pain if you wanted to get to one place to another fast. I'd rather have convenience over a minor feature
>>29283496
Shit! I was hoping for soaring so badly.
Maybe there's still dive?
>>29283496
Remind me again why Soaring was so superior to Flying that its removal is such a bad thing?

Soaring is useless in a series that's had Flying for years. Flying is instant and doesn't have random encounters, and the only reason soaring was useful was because they added locations you couldn't fly to which is backward thinking. You could argue it was useful by letting you fly without a pokemon knowing Fly in your team, but in SM that's also solved, so there's really no reason for soaring.
>introduce great new feature that is right at home in the series
>people get excited that it's now a part of the games
>they drop it in the next game and pretend it never happened
This has happened so many times now that it's impossible to list it all in a single post.
Pokemon is a fucking shit series that has only survived this long because of its great concept, Game Freak is a terrible studio.

Hoennbabbies, everyone.

You know what I really miss? The wind effect. I loved the wind blowing across the grass. Made the environment look more natural

I thought people hated everything about ORAS
>>29284721
It was fun.

In general ORAS was ass, but it had some fun features that I really wish they kept for SM.

I don't really miss soaring but it's a passable decision on their side.
