Why GF killed PSS?

if you ask why GF removes features (or replaces them with inferior substitutes) in subsequent installments, you'll never run out of questions

GameFreak just likes to disappoint

It's not "very limited"

It's "pure fucking SHIT" in comparison

Probably to reduce the strain on the already struggling-to-run game by limiting the wi-fi interaction that was simultaneously happening during gameplay.

>>31680830
This. The original 3DS would fucking die. Granted, that's GF's fault too because they can't optimize to save their lives, but that's a different issue.

>>31680580
I get the point, although this time I only referred to the PSS.
Not even to the almost nonexistent functionality that has the new touch screen out of battle.

There's your answer.

>>31680917
Which lends even more support to the idea that pokemon might be shifting to a beefier console that can handle this stuff a bit more reasonably. That makes sense, actually.

>>31680550
If I had to wager a guess, it was so that you could keep online and story gameplay separate from one another without having to be bombarded with trade and battle requests every 5 fucking minutes.

The festival plaza might not be as efficient as the PSS, but its not as annoying as being blasted with trade and battle requests.

>>31681290
This means that we the consumers are their guinea pigs.

>>31680580
This. We'll be missing Pelago and maybe even the Festival Plaza next gen.

>>31681479
It is simple to maintain Festival Plaza and offer an option to activate the PSS independent of the connection, as simple.
In other word, both function but PSS optional.

>it was so that you could keep online and story gameplay separate from one another without having to be bombarded with trade and battle requests every 5 fucking minutes.
In post-game it's no a problem. Quite the opposite.

>>31681290
It lends less because the only things that changed in the game were the addition of trainer models mid battle and Z-moves that manage to be both poorly animated (Supersonic Skystrike, Savage Spin out, Breakneck Blitz and All-Out Pummeling are the equivalent of throwing your action figures at each other) and overdesigned with all those stupid fucking particle effects.

so basically, more stupid shit
