The Underground

>>30703455
This was so great. Playing DP nowadays would probably be a pain but small things like this would almost make it worth it

>>30702950

So you'd want Hidden Underground Bases with normal Hidden Bases, along with Pokemon Amie, Refresh, Follow, HMs+Ride, Hordes with S.O.S, Berry Growing outside of Poke Alego, and a bunch of other "same shit different name and presentation" crap, all in the same game?

Nobody asks for them back, he's obviously talking about removed features that never got any kind of follow up, you fucking strawmanning autist.

>>30703566
Actually, their gestures are synced with pokemon attacks, which is pretty cool

>>30702889
They had use in DPPt, kept in HGSS for some reason, probably compatibility.

The underground was terrible but I loved the mining mini-game. Bring that shit back, it was actually useful unlike all these garbage facebook mini games we have gotten in the last gen 6 and 7.

Also
>>30702553
Dexnav. The ORAS touch screen in general, it was the only thing those versions did right and the best utilization of the touch screen, yes better than poketch.

>>30703520
>Underground
Yes.
>hidden bases, both above and below
Both might be excessive but I'll allow it.
>Amie and Refresh
Just put the minigames into refresh, or the grooming kit into amie. They're the same shit.
>Follow
Yes.
>HMs+Ride
Sure. Some HM moves are useful in combat, and some other moves are useful outside of combat (sweet scent, dig, teleport). The ride system means you don't have to waste a moveslot on something awful.
>Wild berries/growing outside pelago
Meh, I like having a centralized garden but I'm iffy on the pelago as a whole.

>>30703455
How will they fuck this up in the remakes?

>>30703455
Still don't get the love for this. It was boring

>>30703601
>>Join Avenue that isn't ass.
Join Avenue was trash too, just like this festival plaza. Trading mangemites simulator and a nonsensical hall in the middle of the desert. Integrate all those shops and services naturally in the world you lazy fucks.

While I'm okay with most everything in this thread, I think a feature everyone agrees should be a thing is being able to select a wild capture target among multiple wild pokemon. Seriously, why hasn't this been a thing? It's been an issue since wild multi battles were introduced in gen 4 and it still hasn't been addressed.

>>30703601
>Fly to any route

This is still around.

>>30703655
You can only go underground once every 24 hours.

>>30703689
It was better that the shops evolved without having to find someone who had a particular shop. Completely integrating online vs getting points for magnemites was a mistake. I'm fucking tired of playing type matchups

>>30703727
Fly to Route 10 for me. You can only fly to specific locations

>>30703735
You can only mine a certain number of times per day because dailies are all the rage(fuck the Festival Plaza and the Pelago garbage). Then you have to wait for your pickaxes to regenerate like in my facebook games.

>>30703007

>Gym Leader down to their last pokemon

>10~ seconds later, victory music

They NEEDED to make the last pokemon much stronger. It's so dumb that someone can brute force past this music. It was wasted.

>>30703597
What was the purpose? I didn't play those games much and in HGSS the only actual utility I found to it was checking friendship status for evolutions (still loved the vibes it gave though)
>probably compatibility
They took it to a level above and beyond mere "compatibility" though.

>>30703689
>rading mangemites simulator and a nonsensical hall in the middle of the desert.

it wasn't nonsensical, they were trying to develop the desert into something useful

what was fucking retarded was putting the desert there to begin with and not somewhere else on the map where it would make sense

>>30703601
>>Fly to any route
we still have this

>>30704279
Sorry, thought you were referring to ball seals in op.

>>30703719
I was playing Gale of Darkness before S/M released so I got real used to be able to catch mons with multiple on screen.

I still keep trying.
How can Wes and Michael aim with 2 mons in front of them but the mainline games protags not?

>Ctrl+F "friend safari"
>Phrase not found
What's wrong with you people?

>>30704332
It's not like much designing effort went into the Avenue itself. It's literally just a straight tunnel with random ass shops apparently connected to some ethereal internet wormhole. Just make a fucking mall in one of the big cities or multiple and stick the shops and services in there in a way that isn't taking the piss. Also don't force your players to stop their adventure, killing the pace and interact with this feature. Fuck I remember the asshole npc that makes you the manager of the Avenue, he asks you whether you want to or not, but doesn't let you proceed unless you say yes. Fuck off.

>>30704364
Oh yeah, in that case it would make sense. I definitely never touched them in HGSS, never got far enough in DPPt either to see what the deal was with them.

>>30703007
Gym leader final pokemon themw

>>30704426

They had robot arm thingies that compensated for their aim.

>>30702553
Thanks op I forgot that shit,
I'd like seeing it returning

Nobody is missing O-powers?. Were they shit or you can get them in SM?

>>30704432
Friend safari was ass. Just make regular safari not require me to have 20+ friends that I don't know.

>>30704554
Wait, I thought that was the tech that allowed them to steal other trainers Pokemon?

>>30704836
Did anyone actually like this shit?
Breedject - frowney face frowney face, disconnect.
Legendary - SMILEY FACE SMILEY FACE SMILEY FACE you disconnect because you're sick of their shit.

>>30704605
People miss the PSS as a whole. On the plus side, breeding is faster as a whole, and that was the most useful o-power. The exp power would be pretty trash in this game too, since the only level up spot is the ~63 elite 4 trainers.

Vs Seeker

>>30702553
Goddamn I want this back,

>>30704836
Actually, if you pay attention, the current trading function has a little speech balloon that lets you say lines of dialog with meanings similar to the emoticons.

>>30704836
That was like one of my favorite features from BW (atleast early on) and I was so sad when it didn't return.

Also,

>>30703719
But anon, it would be impossible to aim with that many.

I miss having an older protagonist

>>30704937
It was good because it matched you up with people who actually wanted to trade without having to use websites. Nowadays you have to pick a random guest list person to request a trade and cross your fingers hoping that they don't decline. Plus, you could get a lot of good stuff off the negotiations if you knew how to use it to your advantage.

>>30705015
That's when you invent the double ball, a special poke ball with a built in targeting system so sophisticated, you can throw two at once at two pokemon, catching them off guard and having a higher catch rate in such a situation.

>>30702553
I hate seals they are pointless

>>30705048
This. When will GF let you pick an "age" like in Fire Emblem?

Not really. Female+Male of other species=female will pass ball.

>>30705071
theyre fun and cute

what was annoying was you couldnt deposit your pokemon if you had one

>>30705174
if you use a ditto it'll always have the non-ditto pokemon's ball as long as it's not a cherish or master ball

>>30705233
Yeah but the female also decides the child species

I hated seals.

Not because of the concept, but because they translated the Japanese word "shiiru" (stickers) as "seal" because they sound alike.

How much of a dumbfuck do you have to be if translating this shit is your job and you can't even do that.

>>30705171
>ClefClef
did NPCs nickname their pokemon in Pokemon Stadium 2, i feel like i remember something like that?

>>30705342
i only wished they had some importance.
No shit they were removed since some people didn't even knew this thing existed in the first place.

>>30705408
All trainers had their own unique way of nicknaming their pokemon. In Stadium 1 it changed the colors of them slightly so they looked different. I think there were like 4 different variations of colors each pokemon had.

>>30704432
pokenav>friend safari, though the need to communicate with people to get good ones is great.

>>30705451
>i only wished they had some importance.

What do you mean?
They make your pokeball animation fancier
What do you want them to do aside from that?

GUYS. I'm still curious, was there any Blood in original japanese Pokemon Stadium game? Which wasn't released worldwide

>>30705342
"seal" is a loanword in the first place. Like how "mansion" is used for condominiums.

>>30705537
my brother didn't even knew about them, until i pointed out that they existed.

>>30705547

I know that, and I don't understand what point you're trying to make.

Only someone on their first week of Japanese 101 translates loan words as their original meaning, it's like the first thing you use to spot someone who doesn't actually know japanese.

In other words, NOT SOMEONE YOU'D HIRE TO TRANSLATE A TRIPLE A GAME

This was the biggest reason I kept replaying HGSS. I fucking loved going back on my photos and seeing how my team shaped up after the end of the game.

>>30706152
what?
you can get snow jackets, and long pants, short pants, hoodies, beanies, etc.

it's not GREAT customization but it's much better than their new rendetion of brendan in ORAS

Why no mention of the pokewalker? I loved that fucking thing.

>>30706277
With the advent of PokeFinder and showing off Pokemon models in the overworld (there are several anyway, like the Ride Pokemon in particular), this would've been great to return. Take a selfie with your team (and try to get them all in, which could be difficult with Pokemon like A-Exeggutor) or just take a picture of your team, or have RotomDex set a timer, pose with your Pokemon... and have this be a part of PokeFinder's thumbs up thing so you're not just mindlessly taking pictures of the same Absol over and over. That would have been interesting.

>>30704992
What you did was catch a full box of unowns

What is GTS negotiations?

>>30706374
Connected with another person. Put up any pokemon you want, other person puts one up. Use emotes to say approval/disapproval, and if people like the trade then trade.

>>30706323
Pokemon GO

>>30702553
Rollerblades, bicycles

>>30703007
I get why they removed it in 6 but it needs to come back now that we have actual trainer models.

>>30705572
you brother is a A-button-mashing retard then

At two points in the game they mention seals to you, first in the Solaceon Ruins where the little girl gives you the case and asks you to collect Unown to get the letter seals, and then in Sunnyshore there's a store where you can buy them.

>>30706395
Uh... this is exactly what happens when I link trade someone? Except for the emote part, but you can guess.

Hidden grottos were amazing. I loved having an incentive to go everywhere in the world and get some neat rewards for it. That is probably the reason why the Unova map is so much more memorable to me than any other region.

>>30705664
But they are my man. Look at how much units they move every single time. More than any other AAA game. It's guaranteed money and quite possibly the biggest franchise in gaming.

>>30706302
Males can't.

>>30706277
>just me n' god chillin' with the bros

>>30706626
Grottos were shit because of the items. If it was just Pokémon and refreshed faster that would have been cool, otherwise they are shit but I appreciate having hidden spots in the games.
