It was GF finally taking the hint with online communication, it wasn't PERFECT, but it was a foot in the door, Festival Plaza feels really gimmicky and gratuitous by comparison
Truly for as shit as Gen VI was in hindsight did they really have to take THIS away from it?

Because people would complain about no Lillie icon
What's the PSS?
I was really upset about Festival Plaza. PSS was great. Everything you needed was right there in front of you all the time, convenient as fuck. It's baffling that Game Freak would scrap it.

Agreed. Festival Plaza is a fine concept, but it seems like a step back in terms of connectivity features.
My main complaint with this in gen VII is that you can't connect to internet without using it. Every time you stop using GTS it disconnects from internet.

Plaza is only there to cover up the constant error messages at the bottom of the screen.
>>30471412
also it's a step back from Join Avenue

Exactly. It's kind of a reversion to Gen V's online features, which is a shame.
>>30471439
I've actually never had an error message yet.

Festival Plaza is clunky and intuitive to use. The "nices" you would get were at least some sort of feedback, and the rudimentary messages, even if very limited, were a sort of communication between players.
Plaza doesn't have ANY of that feedback. It's lifeless despite what tries to be.
what I liked best about the PPS is that it was all the features that a "pokemon mmo" would have, without any of the downsides.
That is to say, the ability to trade, battle, chat, and check the fashion of random passersby, or meet up with friends to do the same.
Think about it - in a pokemmo, there would just be all these fags standing around waiting for you to trade/battle with them. There's no raids, not withouot drastically changing how the game is played. what else do you want to do with people? It's all in the PSS, at the touch of a finger.

This and this and this.The shoutout and game chat is probably the best feature that they added because it makes communication much easier.

Fuck rogers, but look at sun moon, you can clearly see that you can literally show 95% of the game with one screen.
