"Given design choices in recent Pokemon games, I feel that Gen 4 is becoming increasingly notable for being the only generation to not only not remove previous features, but bring ones that were removed back."

Seriously, I can't think of any unless you count stuff like Pikachu minigames from Yellow. All it did was add features.Meanwhile, I can't even get excited over a new feature announced for any upcoming game since I know two old ones are gonna be axed its place. I get stuff like casinos to an extent, but why introduce triple/rotation battles just to take them away? Why get rid of one of the main features of Hoenn, the Battle Frontier, in its own remake and further insult the player with the "coming soon" bs? Why get rid of all the different ways to rematch different trainers? Why get rid of the fucking National Dex?Meanwhile GF seemed to put work in to make sure everything stayed in DP/Pt and bring back everything and then some for HGSS.I apologize if this post comes off as a bit ranty, but as features keep getting removed, I (ironically) get less excited for the potential Gen 4 remakes as the amount of stuff that'll be left out that defined the region will insult one of the main reasons that made that generation so great. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2RFQ7ab
