ITT features that were in a few games but should be series staples. I'll start with an easy one.
>>59275528Gen 5 movie studio.Gen 5 post game dungeon (Black Tower/White Tree)Pokémon Amie!!!! PETTING AND CUDDLING!!!!Sun Moon post battle cleanup.Mega evolutions.Clothing 4 Pokémons.
Gender selection
>>59275528Contests
>>59275528Seasons
>>59275545Contests were a cute idea but actually playing them is cancer.They are so much worse than the battles.The gen 5 musicals were better because they knew they were just a cute silly gimmick and not take themself seriously.
>>59275541Poke Polego was the best feature of SM.Something that let's you grow berries, roll for items and passively hatch eggs and grow pokemon should be a series staple.
>>59275528Personalised Gym Themes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YyrlLK0P_U
>>59275552Contests always felt like they couldve been a cool alternative to battling but I think it needed just a bit more depth in the moves and stat building.
>>59275552The main issue with the contests is the lack of depth. There is an objectively correct strategy that will always win.
>>59275541>Mega evolutions.
The dire consequences of Game Freak wanting every game to """unique""".
>>59275584I remember getting a guide from Reddit sorry, 4chan-san where they gave you a guide with the best berries for Gen 3 Contests.Then, all you needed to do was get a Claydol, and use the 4 following moves:>Ancient Power>Cosmic Power>Secret Power>ExplosionBoom: all ribbons with ease.
>>59275616The thing is they could still keep the customizable space just change the context of it for each game.
>>59275528I miss when pokemon had soul
>>59276545Champions is still here though?
>>59276545Gen 3 is when it lost soul
>>59275646>be me>up and coming contest star>enter with my closest partner azumarill who i've raised from an egg>this dipshit shows up with some weird ass clay figure>can't even tell where it starts and ends, eyes everywhere, ugly as fuck>"fuck is this, amateur hour?">dipshit's turn to impress the judges>it unleashes ancient horrors from the cosmos beyond before promptly killing itself>judges get up, weep, standing ovation>get snubbed>mfw
>>59275528Pokemon having unique animations. I am watching somebody play Legends Arceus out of curiousity since I played it when it got out, and damn, I forgot how much attention each Pokemon got, from how they interacted with the player, to even things like how they rest or sit.
