Pretty much a given since we all know that everyone misses that
I miss the pokeathlon. Those mini games were dope
>>32212488
Contests were fun. I liked how they redid it in oras. Honestly one of the best part of Hoenn. The dress up game added in gen 4 was neat as well.
Musicals a shit though
>>32212507
>mfw having to sit through the pokestar studios tutorial
While The gen 5 games are some of my favorite, the mini games were shit.
>>32212488
Also miss the Poketch
I think that's what it's called
>>32212488
Pokeathlon was great, but FUCK Goal Roll
>>32212540
Pokestar was amazing though
>>32213087
goal roll was fine
The flag minigame was fucking cruel though
>>32213087
Keeping track of my 3 mons among that clusterfuck was a nightmare.
It helps greatly to keep one as a goalie
>>32213148
This
Someone hitting me from behind and stealing my flags was rage inducing
I would do anything for GF to bring back the Vs seeker
Dexnav
The other day I needed a specific nature ditto I didn't have in sun, and it took me legit 30 minutes of walking around running from encounters to find one. Then the synchronize failed. in oras that shit would've taken 2 minutes max.
>>32213208
Oh shit I forgot about the vs seeker!
That thing was great for grinding
>Vs Seeker
>Dexnav

>Battle Frontier
>PWT
>Black Tower/White Treehollow or an equivalent
>minigames in general
>hordes
>skip cutscene option
>a loop for hatching eggs
>Gym Leaders rematches and improved E4
Did I miss anything for this to be the ultimate pokemon experience?
>>32213406
You got most of the main ones.
I would add secret bases and ball capsules since I personally enjoyed those a lot
>>32213436
Wait actually rereading you already got secret bases.
Well some others I'd enjoy but not really necessary are
>soaring
>the phone number thing in Hoenn and Johto
I wonder if the Pokeathlon was implemented first or following Pokemon was. They used the same sprites.
>>32212488
Quality is the feature I miss most.
>>32213530
I'm guessing they wanted to have following pokemon going into the game (they played around with it in D/P with amity square) and made the pokeathlon so the sprites would get more utility
I miss when trainers would randomly call me on my journey and tell me about their day/Pokémon, made me feel less lonesome on my journey
>>32213406
Yeah, this is good and all, but you forgot the most important thing:
>YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY APRICORN BALLS
>>32213624
Especially when they talk about their top percentage pokemon
>>32212488
Why was HGSS the most based game? They did so many things right.
>>32213620
Eh, I think that it was more of a last minute decision in HGSS because they were making sprites for every mon in Black and White.
I liked the pokeball customisation stickers thing - just really fun and cute!
>>32213738
It really is
Shame it's just 4th gen. We probably won't get another game like it
>>32213720
what hack is that?
>>32213887
Dunno. Just got the pic off of google images
