I'm making a list of the good features each Gen removed. What am I missing so far?
Removed in Gen 2
>N/A
Removed in Gen 3
>Physical effect of the day/night cycle on overworld (Brought back in Gen 4)
Removed in Gen 4
(Nothing of the top of my head. Correct me if wrong please)
Removed in Gen 5
>Walking with Pokemon
>Game Corner replacement
Removed in Gen 6
>Difficulty Options
>Battle Frontier
>Gym Leader rematches
Removed in Gen 7
>National Dex
>Dex Nav
>Horde Battles
>Triple and Rotation Battles
>Super Training
>Soaring
>O Powers
>Super Secret Bases
Technically Underground did not return for Gen 5, but I suppose that was due to Sinnoh's geographical region overall.
>>29853649
>O Powers are gone
Just when I thought MMing couldn't get worse with no shiny charm until January.
Gen 3 didn't immediately provide you the National Dex. So on their own, R/S were the first games in the series to seemingly drop several Pokemon out of existence if you weren't psychic and didn't know Colosseum/FRLG/Emerald would eventually span the gaps in the dex. It was a pisstake when it first happened.
Gen 4 took away Secret Bases, if you consider those important.
>>29853649
that dartrix is pretty cute op pls full image?
>>29853721
I hear you get it from just filling the Regional Pokedex now.
What about contests? Musicals aren't contests and I don't think gen VII has anything alike at this point, does it?
>Super Training
>good
Rest of those suck though and SM is the first time I have genuinely been bothered by missing features.
>>29853740
not op
but i still know the image
>>29853740
Sorry friendo, I dont have it. I saved it from this site just as it is.
the fuck, there's no super training? is there no similar way to raise EVs?
>>29853649
3rd instalment features almost never make it to the next gen. You have missed that a basic Following Pokemon mechanic was in Yellow, a handful of things in Crystal, and so on.
>>29853797
One of those Poke Pelago things let's you raise one stat by 8EVs every 30 minutes or something. There are things in not-Join Avenue that let you raise EVs as well, but ultimately it looks like it's just quicker to do it the old fashioned way.
Yellow had walking Pokemon even though its just Pikachu
It made a return on HGSS
Seasons
Gamefreak are a bunch of hacks
I see no reason for them to start cleaning the slate for every Pokemon game
Now watch them bring HMs back for the Sinnoh remakes since they will get flak that there is no bike for autistic egg hatchers
It will take them 50 years to finally allow multiple saves in one cart
>>29853928
Essentials
>>29853838
That's painfully slow
You get Charizard on the second island and Join Avenue was tedious garbage since it heavily relies on online connections
>>29853649
that's why gen 2 is best gen
>inb4 kids claiming that their favorite gen is better
enjoy your incomplete games
>>29853766
>Soaring
>Suck
Consider suicide
Walking Pokemon
L=A
Multiple save files
Difficulty options
Gym Leader rematches
Game Corner
Pokeathlon
Pokemon Contests
Secret Bases
Super Training
Horde Battles
Shaking grass
Dex Nav
Triple and Rotation battles
All of these should be in any game or remake
>>29853748
The lack of anything relating to the Oval Charm is also worrying.
>>29854014
m8 he was saying it sucks to see those gone.
Secret bases for gen 4, underground for 5. Join avenue for 6
>>29854042
>Multiple save files
That was never a thing.
>>29853649
Gen2
>Safari
Gen3
>Pokemon movement before battle
Gen4
>Secret Bases
Gen5
>Vs Seeker
>PokeRadar
Gen6
>Free space bag
>Select menu replaced with only 4 options
>>29854042
>multiple save files
GF have addressed this and it will never be in a pokemon mainline game
>game corner
it's not coming back, parents don't want any gambling around their kids
>Pokeathlon/secret bases/walking pokemon/ pokemon contests
These should stay in their own games bc they either suck ass or give the game it's identity
The rest I agree with
>>29853737
>>29854150
Underground had secret bases, and Gen 5 lost underground (and secret bases with it)
>>29854231
oh, you're right, forgot about that
>>29853649
Contests weren't in Gen 4 or subsequent gens
>>29854312
They were in D/P/Pt in Hearthome city.
I always liked in HGSS you could just tap a button on bottom screen to continuously run without having to hold B all the tim
Also what is this about no national dex
What does this mean? Because obviously we'll be able to transfer pokemon up from gen6... and also how do you shiny charm in gen7
>>29853999
Wrong, Gen 4 had nothing removed, now you are a nigger
Nice trips tho
>>29854196
Eh, Secret Bases I think should come back in some way. Maybe keep the huge variety to just OrAs, but some customizeable room or home in every game would be great. As for Contests/Pokeathalon, we should at least get a variant. Hoenn has Hoenn contests, Sinnoh Sinnoh contests, Johto the Pokeathlon, and Unova the musicals
Honestly, they should expand on the idea of a non battle centric sidequest and make it an optional way to progress through the main story for the sake of variety
>>29854042
>Shaking grass
But I was sure that IS in SM, I think Serebii even made a Tweet about it
>>29854540
>Honestly, they should expand on the idea of a non battle centric sidequest and make it an optional way to progress through the main story for the sake of variety
>>29854090
You get it for beating Gamefreak Morimoto
GEN 2 aka WORST GEN REMOVED SAFARI ZONE AND VIRIDIAN FOREST AND ETC
>>29854014
Soaring is fucking terrible
It's cool for all of 2 seconds until you realize it's just a slower fly and there's no point using it beyond going to the shitty rng islands for tms
>>29855115
Let's hope it's easier that BW's battle.
>>29854432
It did remove those E-Reader berries.
Gen 4 removed overworld secret bases, (returns in gen 6), pokeblock and it's machine (returns in gen 6), unless you consider poffins as a fair trade.
gen 5 removed underground and vs seeker
gen 6 removed PWT , seasons and the cinema, and xtranscivier.
>>29853649
Wait, so you dont unlock the national dex after filling out the regional dex?
>>29853928
The single save file per game is a holdover from Gen I/II, the games could handle either nicknames for Pokémon or multiple save files.
>>29853649
didn't they remove the step counter from safari zone in gen 2? after it's given to you I mean, I could be so wrong I'll check later
>>29855776
forgot a couple
gen 5 removed pokeathlon and contests
gen 6 removed musical
gen 7 removed sneaking (maybe related to dexnav? idk), and sitting if im not mistaken
>>29854042
>L=A
I'm still triggered for it not being in BW 1/2
At least it's back in later games but damn it
>>29855774
Like that changes absolutly anything about the game
#
>>29853649
Gen IV: Secret Bases in the overworld
Gen V: VS Seeker and Contest
Gen VI: Seasons
>>29853649
Gen V: New Pokemon with gender differences (excluding one or two extremely obvious ones)
Pic fucking related
>>29856301
You haven't playing new games.
>>29855774
They all became Enigma berries when transferred up, so they're still there in a sense.
>>29853649
Man the only thing I'm still salty about is the removal of Apricorns. I don't want to have to pkHex everything, it's so boring.
>>29853649
You're missing Friend Safari, which was gas.
>>29853649
Gen 5 got rid of the VS Seeker.
>>29854196
fuck those parents, the slot machine is literally just luck.
