Having Pokemon walk along side you is such a simple yet amazing thing. Ever sense playing Heart Gold I've wanted to see it implemented in other games. They could even make a new move or item that let's you ride on the backs of certain pokemon!
DewdsInAJar Game Freak made models for every Pokemon from Kanto to Sinnoh in HG/SS plus they already have models for more Pokemon like Wingull, Skiddo, and Skitty.
I would say it would be probable seeing how they have used the same battle sprites for the last four games on the 3DS and seeing how there really wouldn't be a need to make any new ones unless the next game is 7th gen. By re using these sprites I would think they would have the time to make new less detailed ones for the walking mechanic. Also just like they did every now and then in HGSS if the pokemon are too big for an area then they could just go back in the pokeball. Simple.
Vito Manosepass x and y got me back into pokemon i stopped after black and white because when they went black2/white2 and i thought they ran out of ideas.
What I really hated about the season feature was that they faked it in XY. They had specific areas of the country that would always be fall, always be winter. Tropical and dessert regions make sense, and you can make arguments for snowy environments, but no where can it always be autumn. Everything else I would have loved for all the games, especially the underground.
Have you thought about a Pokemon Type Injusctices video? There are many Pokemon that feel like they missed out on a typing or should have gotten a different typing instead.
Pokemon contest from Sinnoh. Sinnoh contest had you perform for three judges, let you dress up your pokemon, and, dance. Took me forever to get Master Rank dancing down.
Yeah, and the only way to get the other seasons is through the Poke Transfer. Like the fuck? What was the point of making these Pokemon if you were going to rip their gimmick, Gamefreak?
But it makes sense why Xerneas doesn't get X-Scissor because you don't see a deer bending his horns to make an X to cut something every day. Other than that, I think it would make sense.
TheGCritic It doesn't make sense for it to use it. X-Scissor's Japanese name is Scissor Cross. The point of the move is that it's supposed to cut the user as if it were a pair of scissors, Xerneas has no ability to do that what so ever. Giving your example of bulls breathing fire and such isn't giving much of an argument and doesn't make sense. Emboar is a Pokemon based off Pigs, fires and martial arts, anything those things can do Emboar can do as well. Xerneas is a deer with mythical powers, so it's gonna act like one. You don't see deers or magical fairies using their bodies as scissors, it would be awkward.
player Customization is not done. The only reason they took it out because oras was a Remake. They had to remake may and brendans costume. When we have a new game (not. A remake) we will get it back
DrinkingBl3ach Other people argue that Gamefreak themselves said that player cust will only be in Kalos. For the reason that fashion is a big thing in France and apparently not so important everywhere else in the world.
You don't need different directions for every angle for 3d designed pokemon models since technically all you'll need is a walking forward and an idle animation. Perhaps multiple interactions with the trainer. We have seen that the trainer in the game does interact with his starter but that might just be for the one you get and not a new game feature.
I personally would've included the Game Corner. I know it was in Kanto & Hoenn, yet it wasn't in ORAS. OK, it was, but it was closed down, so I don't count it. I felt like it was a nice little distraction from the main goal and also a good way to earn more money.
Riddy Prower I guess it's just the "teaching little kids to gamble" sort of angle that made it less of an injustice. But, I get it and it made me mad too. XDDD
The berry mixer for pokeblocks was a thing in Oras. You didnt actually get to MAKE the pokeblocks but you could still combine berries and get pokeblocks
One thing I want back is the pokeball feature in Diamond, Pearl, and platinum where you placed stickers on the pokeball and you see these nice visuals of hearts, stars, confetti, and other things. I was too pissed when they removed that feature.
In regards to #7, I do miss that potion, but I also miss item storage in general. Yeah, you can carry everything in your bag without limit(that I know of) but that's exactly my problem. I end up with so much stuff in my bag that it sometimes takes me several minutes to find what I'm looking for, and so much of it is stuff I don't actually need to be carrying with me at all times. Stuff like Evolution stones for example, we've got what, 9 or 10 of those now?(More when you include other Evo items like Reaper's Cloth) And how about all those mega stones? I certainly don't need to be carrying 40+ of those with me at all times. So yeah, Item storage is a really useful tool that I'd really love to see brought back as an option for those of us that would like it.
Honestly along with the potion in the pc, I really wish they would bring back item storage. It's so annoying have EVERY SINGLE THING in your bag and having to search through long lists of items to find everything. It was so much more efficient to store items you wanted but didnt need, and giving you space in your bag.
The only problem with Item Boxes was how limited they were. Later games were a little better, but Gen 1 games had horrible item storage even though the number of usable items was much smaller then. Because all those single use-only key items took up valuable space in the PC. Although it would be awesome to have an Item Box in the PC for pokéballs and evolution items.
Or just bring it to the Wii U. An RPG where you start out in Johto(sorry if I spelled it wrong)/ Kanto and you unlock the new regions by beating the Pokemon League or by DLC. I think it'd be sick to have every region in one game but I don't think they could do it on a handheld system due to how much space it would require in your systems memory.
REB3L Gaming the problem with multi region games, aside from spsace as you mentioned, is the levels of pokemon. Without raising the max level or slowing the curve of gym leaders even more, it would be impossible to make each gym progressively harder after the 3rd generation, as by then all of the opponents pokemon would be lv100.
Tom - Well maybe when you go to a new region the game makes you start fresh and when you get to the after game of that region you can get bring your old Pokemon to that new region.
That would make sense. Sort of like an honour code for trainers.When in a new region, their previous pokeballs are locked until you've beaten the elite 4 and champion of that region. Although I feel like a game that's such a gamble for nintendo to release would more than likely be a fan developed game. As they would have more freedom to be experimental with the format of the games.
The problem with this (apart from levels) is getting between regions. In the scale map of the Pokemon world, Johto and Kanto are connected, and Sinnoh and Almia are connected. While most regions do have a port of some kind (and Unova has an airport) they are not in logical places to start the adventure. Also they would have to decide if they would include or just reference other regions such as Orre (which would be hard to include but are definitely parts of the Pokemon world)
wat if you could have a gogoat following you and then talk to it and an option pops out telling you "would you ride your Pokemon" and tell it where you want to go and it will take you there (kinda how fly works)
+P. Fox You mean the original mechanics for it, since Safari Zone is in ORAS. It's just more like a secluded area for catching Pokemon you can't get anywhere else, rather than something you pay to do, are timed for, and can only catch pokemon by throwing rocks at it or bribing it to stay put.
tiny punkabuu I miss the original, because it gave more of a challenge.Sure, the new one is easier, but it really felt worth it when I caught that one Chansey from the original games.
P. Fox I can't say I relate, since even though I grew up with Pokemania, I never played a game until Gen V (hard to play Pokemon, even though you have a Yellow cartridge that a classmate gave you so you'd not be left out, with no GameBoy), but I do wish the games were a bit harder. I suppose it was changed because most kids have shorter attention spans these days than you and I did, and wouldn't have the patience to stand around in the Safari and throw rocks and fruit at Pokemon to try and catch them, even if they only took out the whole being timed and having to pay thing. Which is what I'd've liked them to do, because even though I never played the original games, I was disappointed the Safari was like it was, as I know what it was supposed to be like. I mean I get it, but ORAS changed a lot to my understanding (usually for the better, like with the teams' goals, but not always).
tiny punkabuu Yeah, I understand your point. In my opinion, ORAS gave the challenge to the original games back, as you had to find many hard-to-find cut scenes, just to progress. (I was stuck in a town for a week, trying to find out where to go, at a point) So, I do enjoy ORAS, a lot.
the pc potion is TECHNIACALLY still around. the poke shop worker gives you a potion at one of the first towns. just like the one in XY (but in XY you need to speak to him in the 2nt town)
1 small feature I really liked in the past games was that you were able to cut the grass by using the HM cut sure it doesn't really have any purpose but I just felt like it was a more realistic take on Pokemon moves
I REALLY hope the next Pokemon game has Trainer customization...If fact what I think they should do is if you played X or Y they should allow you to transfer your trainer over and continue with him or her, I was actually hoping to see that as a feature in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, But Eh...I just feel that when you add customization to trainers it gives them a whole lot more character and personality and I feel bad leaving mine behind... ; u ;
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for adding seasons! White 2 was the first non emulator pokemon game I played, and the fact that it had seasons blew me away
+Jordan Stiltner I'm not trying to make fun. We all have to work hard to get good at public speaking and, yes, sometimes some folk have a harder time with it than others. I genuinely like his content, but my ability to understand him made it harder to enjoy and think he deserves constructive feedback.
Implementing all those features would mean that Gamefreak has to put an extra effort when they don't really need to do that, and we all know that Gamefreak is not a company that likes to put more effort into their games than they should. Especially now when Pokemon games has became a yearly releases. Besides, why would they give us more character customization, or following pokemon... you know? things that we actually want if they can give us more BS for Pikachu nobody asked for?
sebotrp Pokemon is not a yearly thing, just because a pokemon game was released in 2013 and 2014 does not mean it' a yearly thing. Yeah spin-off games come out every year but if they didn't release another pokemon game till late 2016-2017 they would have heaps of time to implement these things.
sebotrp Wow, such sass. I get the data restrictions on Game Freak's part, but I feel like there's a logistical issue otherwise with even adding one feature constantly.
Nintendo games releasing related to Pokemon are a new mystery dungeon... Not yearly maybe now they will have something good and interesting with some of these ideas
Things I think they should bring back: -Being hurt by poison outside of battle -Electric types being able to get paralyzed, Fire types being burnt, etc, -Being followed by your Pokémon -Shining your badges (I don't know, I thought it was fun.)
Why don't they just make it an option in the party menu to let your pokemon walk around, that way you could still have any critter follow you and still have the one you want to battle with upfront
one thing that I really miss is the Vs. Seeker from FireRed and LeafGreen. I know they have the phone and polemic functions, but only a small sample of trainers could be registered. With the Vs. Seeker, you could go around to clumps of trainers and see who is ready for a rematch with stronger Pokemon than they had last time. I feel like that item should be brought back.
Nothing about the full experience of the battle frontier with all 7 buildings? When I saw it wasn't in Oras I stopped playing for a week because I was so put off by the fact it wasn't there. From what I read the reasoning for not adding it was also pretty dumb, where "it was too tough" but they still add maison which's super mode requires ev,iv bred/trained pokemon for the higher levels.
YES OTHER REGIONS!! THANK GOD!! That is what I've been waiting for! I would love to do this for other regions and continue my journey for a longer time:)
I would honestly be willing to spend like an extra 20 dollars to see all the pokemon following you around and to see these extra little details. Like to be able to hop on a pokemon you're walking with. Or if you're in a cave with a charmanda and the flame on its tail lights things up a bit. Just those extra things would make it so worth it.
#8: Gotta love how he talks about wanting to unleash his pokemon's max potential while dodging all the trainers and wild grass :p And yeah, pokemon following + trainer customization in one game would just be mindblowing. My top 2 as well, though I'm sure it is for most of the fandom.
For the seasons thing, the direct effect on the appearance of Deerling and Sawsbuck was also lost in the next Generation. A lot of mechanics are introduced with certain Pokémon species in mind, thus giving them gimmicks, but sometimes said mechanics and gimmicks are lost from a generation to another. Feebas's evolution method is another example.
Just a reminder because people tend to forget: Technically, you could walk beside your Pokemon in Sinnoh. I honestly like that feature more than the constant walking. It made those areas feel special plus you'd get items your Pokemon would pick up! I think it was pretty nice. Plus the area itself was gorgeous.
How about difficulty modes? Assuming they change the feature so you can just choose one at the start instead of having to trade with Black 2 or White 2.
My entire Team of Eevees fell in love with my character in Soul Silver and whenever I talked to them, they would snuggle up and hearts appeared everywhere. That was so adorable.
If they made another Pokemon generation (probably very likely) and they were going to do either pokemon walking alongside you or trainer customization, which would you prefer?
Now that you mentioned it, I kinda understand why Seasons were not brought in XY & ORAS, hardware Limitations, although the Neo 3DS(XL) might be able to handle it, but I remember playing Pokemon Y and there are constant frame drops in some areas.
The feature of Pokemon walking behind you will hopefully return. Maybe in Gen 7 next year because it would be a good huge thing to do for their anniversary.
The potion at the beginning is still there but its typically from a person you talk to early on. Im sure a lot of pwople wouldnt even check the pc is why.
With the walking they could add a few every new game. Like we can ride wailmer, lapras, skiddo, mamoswine, ryhorn and i think sharpedo. Latios and latias megas. They also have abommasnow, fletchling, furfrou abs possibly a few others i missed as a model in the overworld.
Most important feature - Trainer Rematches! Whether this is through Vs Seeker, PokeGear or PokeNav Trainer's Eye, surely this feature is more important than anything else as grinding against wild pokemon or battling the Elite Four over and over can get seriously dull
As much as some of these features would be really cool, there's a difference between "ermagerd there's no underground?" and "we don't think that this feature is worth putting into this game"
+Yung Yoil Oooh, yeah I like the Poketch, too. Seeing how many steps I take while hatching an egg and seeing my team without having to check the menu is really cool.
I love this this. I absolutely agree with everything, all but one as a bonus to be exact. I feel like join avenue should have been added with the secret base or underground. There was something about join ave. I mean just imagine if they combined join ave, secret base and underground all together?
YES underground, seasons, diving, character customization, and pokémon following you need to return/be in more games and not just their specific games. Especially character customization, I really loved that. That was great. Would be thrilled to see more of that. And Pokémon following you that was amazing, I loved that so much
For me the number 1 injustice for this category is the cutting of the PWT it mad black 2 and white 2 sooo much fun it's crazy how they didn't take the remixed Themes which were amazing and let us battle the characters and gym leaders we learned to love over the years I really hope it returns for good or atleast for Xz Yz or what ever they call the next game
Tbh with you guys, I feel like these features that are game exclusive makes them unique and stand out from the rest, with them all having the same features they would be very similar and the only difference would be the Pokemon you would be able to catch in the wild. I also feel like these are the reason why we have certain favorite games in the franchise.
Shadowminer30 While I would agree with some features, the trainer customization is one I don't. It was good but there was so much more they could do with it. But, now they are just gonna drop it.
MasterImpsy there's no proof of it being dropped. the only "evidence" is that it wasn't in ORAS, but so what? berry growing wasn't in Unova, and was much different in HG/SS, but came back in Kalos and ORAS. Black and White didn't have any Pokémon return until the national dex was obtained post game, but that didn't stay in B2/W2, or return for X/Y and ORAS. just because it wasn't back in the very next release, doesn't mean it's gone for good. and it was still fairly region specific, as Kalos itself had a large fashion theme not present elsewhere
There was an article I read that said that gamefreak does not plan to bring back trainer customization cause it's a "fashion" thing which will only stay in Kalos. The article CAN BE wrong so I could be wrong. However, if it is true I will be greatly disappointed. I kinda figured it wouldn't be back in ORAS cause remake and all.
I dont know if it was mentioned before but you could also walk with certain pokemon in d/p/plat. It was forgettable though, but i enjoyed it in platinum :)
I miss being able to use the move Headbutt and making Random pokemon fall out of a tree. and with the variety of bug pokemon and tree dwelling pokemon they could make it really interesting
I miss the stickers that you could put on the pokeballs. It was fun experimenting with the effects and placement. Loved having my pokemon come out of the ball in a burst of flames or a shower of bubbles. It would be amazing to have that in 3D! I really wish that it would come back as a feature.
I'm glad you put the pokeblock mixer on this list because I miss playing that no matter what anybody says. Also, the game corner and Frontier Battle in ORAS was removed for NO REASON!
Man. It was so magical when Fire Red/Leaf Green came out with the adapters. Ah, the memories. I was so excited. But I do still wish they would have included the Johto Region instead of some islands that only had a few things to do. Traveling to Kanto is what made Gold/Silver/Crystal so freaking awesome for me. To include Johto in FR/LG would have been epic.
I 100% agree with you on the Pokemon following you thing. I loved that feature so much in HG & SS and was a bit sad when it never showed up again. I loved turning around and talking to my partners. I loved seeing what they had to say right before I went into a gym battle. For my it established a more emotional connection with my Pokemon, they were no longer just "pixels" to me, but instead they were my friends. (that may sound cheesy or retarded to some but I don't care I actually felt that way)
I wish they would allow Pokemon riding for more than just Skiddo, Gogoat, Mamoswine, and Rhyhorn. I'd love to ride an Arcanine or something. Also, I really hope the Soar in the Sky feature is implemented in future games, simply because it makes Flying much more enjoyable. Either that, or they should keep the ability to fly to individual routes. Regardless, awesome video. A lot of thought was put into this and I agree with just about everything on the list.
i agree with walking with your pokemon. i wish we could have that again. amie seems to be trying to "replace" that kind of feature but i honestly would prefer walking with my pokemon again. i want to walk around with a Victini sooo badly.. this and vistiting other regions are the two features i want most back.
I remember when I got heart gold and the poke walk thing it was near Halloween and I though it was the best thing ever to bring with me so I put my squirtle in my poke walk thing and went around and at one point it fell off and I didn't notice, when I got back home I was so upset that I lost it and squirtle that I restarted the game, the pokewalk was a great concept
About the pokemon following you, and riding pokemon, they could make it where you could race on them. They could make it where you can race on pokemon like skiddo, gogoat, ponyta and rapidash.
There wasn't one thing on this list that I disagreed with, but if the berry mixer were to come back it should be used to make a special potion instead.
I totally agree with this list. Though I think that you should be able to select the pokemon you want following you and not be forced to have the one at the front of your party doing it. I may have a pokemon walking with me because I like how it looks or think it makes sense a trainer could have it walking with them and I don't want to be stuck with that one starting off all my battles.

Seals from Sinnoh. It just made having a Pokémon feel a bit more interactive and made them look flashy and pretty when they were sent out.
Julian Valentin I almost forgot about those! :D Those were a ton of fun to play with, but I guess people spelled out bad words and stuff. XD
Sarcasm the Sickness If that's the case, they will have to take out the letters
Julian Valentin seals in sinnoh? but spheal's from gen 3!
Julian Valentin I used to make my Magmorter have fire coming out of his bazooka! It was awesome! Me and you both love Gen 4! REMAKES COMFIRMED
aquaclauncher AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! se what you did there
Having Pokemon walk along side you is such a simple yet amazing thing. Ever sense playing Heart Gold I've wanted to see it implemented in other games. They could even make a new move or item that let's you ride on the backs of certain pokemon!
Great idea but it would turn into secret or hidden power
Liopx Videos good luck making models for that for 721 pokemon.
DewdsInAJar Game Freak made models for every Pokemon from Kanto to Sinnoh in HG/SS plus they already have models for more Pokemon like Wingull, Skiddo, and Skitty.
TheGCritic NOT THE WALKIING SPRITES. and the fact it 3D its impossible for big pokemon like wailord and oni.x
I would say it would be probable seeing how they have used the same battle sprites for the last four games on the 3DS and seeing how there really wouldn't be a need to make any new ones unless the next game is 7th gen. By re using these sprites I would think they would have the time to make new less detailed ones for the walking mechanic. Also just like they did every now and then in HGSS if the pokemon are too big for an area then they could just go back in the pokeball. Simple.
The only thing I really want more then anything
Is pokemon following
Gavin McLaurin i really hope Game Freak does plan on remaking yellow and crystal so we can experience this again!
Vito Manosepass NO, Sinnoh was better than that piece of shit of a game.
Vito Manosepass NIGGA? SINNOH NEEDS THE REMAKE! FUCK GEN 1!
Sinnoh and Unova weren't very good for me something about those games just wasn't as good as gen 2 3 6 and 1
Vito Manosepass
x and y got me back into pokemon i stopped after black and white because when they went black2/white2 and i thought they ran out of ideas.
I think AT LEAST starters should follow you.
That emphasis on AT LEAST
I would honestly enjoy seeing my Delphox following me, so I get you. ovo
+ShinyHunterKippy no I think all of them should follow you
+ShinyHunterKippy Hell yeah. Having my Charizard following would be so awesome.
One feature I'd like for them to bring back is being able to use gut in the grass, I know it's kind of dumb, but it was so cool doing that in Emerald!
Cut, not gut
FighterMon i will gut the grass and the pokemon in my way
FighterMon true don't forget d/p/pl
HYAH!
They should bring back the VS Seeker
TheOmegaDragon ORAS has something like thata with the AreaNav... You can rebattle a lot of trainers from the routes.
Lubomir Raykov its not the same :(
also like the pokegear were trainers would call you to give you items want a rematch or that they would just want to talk about there rattata
TheOmegaDragon they need to bring back gym battle rematch
Sacred Snorlax youngster joey was the only person that made the pokegear worth it.
I want the PWT from B2/W2.
And that theme that played when the gym leader is using his last Pokémon.
I loved that theme xD
Seasons were in unova not sinnoh
Don't get salty callum
CNM Baxter how is saying I'm aware being salty like wtf you don't even know what salty is
You don't get the joke then
Zachary Cabell
sounded mad to me
CNM Baxter Can't SOUND anything in a fucking combination of words.
My #1 injustice is removing the Battle Frontier. I was so ready to battle the Frontier Brains in ORAS.
Pedro sounds wayyy more comfortable talking on mic, much faster and confident sounding, keep it up, loving the series.
"This video is *a few seconds* old."
Damn sub box is putting in work.
What I really hated about the season feature was that they faked it in XY. They had specific areas of the country that would always be fall, always be winter. Tropical and dessert regions make sense, and you can make arguments for snowy environments, but no where can it always be autumn.
Everything else I would have loved for all the games, especially the underground.
Have you thought about a Pokemon Type Injusctices video? There are many Pokemon that feel like they missed out on a typing or should have gotten a different typing instead.
Why is electivire not fighting type.
+DarkCrimsonPsycho//INSANITY Why is Mega Absol not Dark/Fairy.
Why isn't Milotic Water/Fairy?
WHY AREN'T LATIAS AND LATIOS FLYING TYPES
Ryan MacDonald Because they didn't want to be.
Pokemon contest from Sinnoh. Sinnoh contest had you perform for three judges, let you dress up your pokemon, and, dance. Took me forever to get Master Rank dancing down.
taking away seasons takes away sawsbucks gimmick :(
Yeah, and the only way to get the other seasons is through the Poke Transfer. Like the fuck? What was the point of making these Pokemon if you were going to rip their gimmick, Gamefreak?
So, I just realized something.... Xerneas doesn't get X-Scissor.... The mascot for Pokemon X doesn't get the move that has emphasis on X.
But it makes sense why Xerneas doesn't get X-Scissor because you don't see a deer bending his horns to make an X to cut something every day. Other than that, I think it would make sense.
Annika Gullett Well, you don't see a bull breathing fire or a boxer magically setting his fist on fire and punching you with it.
***** X-Scissor is a bug type attack.
TheGCritic It doesn't make sense for it to use it. X-Scissor's Japanese name is Scissor Cross. The point of the move is that it's supposed to cut the user as if it were a pair of scissors, Xerneas has no ability to do that what so ever. Giving your example of bulls breathing fire and such isn't giving much of an argument and doesn't make sense. Emboar is a Pokemon based off Pigs, fires and martial arts, anything those things can do Emboar can do as well. Xerneas is a deer with mythical powers, so it's gonna act like one. You don't see deers or magical fairies using their bodies as scissors, it would be awkward.
+TheGCritic Well its not like it can clamp its horns together like scissors. Besides, why use x-scissor when it gets access to megahorn?
And I hope Pokemon following you comes back.
Me too, but its not
meanwhile in sun and Moon...
The Pokéwalker is actually more accurate than at least a large amount of dedicated pedometers. And it's not even the main feature of HGSS.
David Howard I always thought that was an amazing thing. XD They really dedicated themselves to that little device. :3
And unfortunately I had one still working but it's broken now...
David Howard pokewalker is bae
I'm good with this list, but I don't think we've seen the last of trainer customization.
Vito Manosepass i don't think that will happen, but character customization should've been one, because its the best feature, i want more added to it
player Customization is not done. The only reason they took it out because oras was a Remake. They had to remake may and brendans costume. When we have a new game (not. A remake) we will get it back
DrinkingBl3ach Other people argue that Gamefreak themselves said that player cust will only be in Kalos. For the reason that fashion is a big thing in France and apparently not so important everywhere else in the world.
Sleepy Jirachi Yay! Sleepy! ^^
*****
This post of mine is probably gonna be flagged as spam...BUT SYLVEON is so cute! I like your icon! ^^
You don't need different directions for every angle for 3d designed pokemon models since technically all you'll need is a walking forward and an idle animation. Perhaps multiple interactions with the trainer. We have seen that the trainer in the game does interact with his starter but that might just be for the one you get and not a new game feature.
BUT WHERE'S THE GODDAMN SEAL CASE?! JESUS CHRIST GAME FREAK BRING IT BAAAAAAACK
I personally would've included the Game Corner. I know it was in Kanto & Hoenn, yet it wasn't in ORAS. OK, it was, but it was closed down, so I don't count it. I felt like it was a nice little distraction from the main goal and also a good way to earn more money.
Riddy Prower I guess it's just the "teaching little kids to gamble" sort of angle that made it less of an injustice. But, I get it and it made me mad too. XDDD
Well unless laws change, we'll never get the Game Corner back ;~;
Riddy Prower well if we are technical about it it´s still in ORAS, only closed down and out of business
Yuki Terumi I mentioned that.
Riddy Prower oh. did´t read the whole comment. just saw the first phrase and was like, well time to prove some random dude across the world wrong.
The berry mixer for pokeblocks was a thing in Oras. You didnt actually get to MAKE the pokeblocks but you could still combine berries and get pokeblocks
I think there needs to be some different starter types, like for the new games. I think we're getting tired of grass, water, and fire.
One thing I want back is the pokeball feature in Diamond, Pearl, and platinum where you placed stickers on the pokeball and you see these nice visuals of hearts, stars, confetti, and other things. I was too pissed when they removed that feature.
BlackFlame0325 Although, if they do bring it back, fix the part where you Pokemon are stuck on your team until you take them off. :/
you swapped the regions in 4&5
I love these Callum keep these coming, I totally agree with pokemon walking alongside you
You accidentally wrote "Only in Sinnoh" for seasons and "Only in Unova" for Underground. XD
In regards to #7, I do miss that potion, but I also miss item storage in general. Yeah, you can carry everything in your bag without limit(that I know of) but that's exactly my problem. I end up with so much stuff in my bag that it sometimes takes me several minutes to find what I'm looking for, and so much of it is stuff I don't actually need to be carrying with me at all times. Stuff like Evolution stones for example, we've got what, 9 or 10 of those now?(More when you include other Evo items like Reaper's Cloth) And how about all those mega stones? I certainly don't need to be carrying 40+ of those with me at all times.
So yeah, Item storage is a really useful tool that I'd really love to see brought back as an option for those of us that would like it.
Honestly along with the potion in the pc, I really wish they would bring back item storage. It's so annoying have EVERY SINGLE THING in your bag and having to search through long lists of items to find everything. It was so much more efficient to store items you wanted but didnt need, and giving you space in your bag.
KingChiggy I agree, it also prevents you from accidentally using your Masterball...
The only problem with Item Boxes was how limited they were. Later games were a little better, but Gen 1 games had horrible item storage even though the number of usable items was much smaller then. Because all those single use-only key items took up valuable space in the PC. Although it would be awesome to have an Item Box in the PC for pokéballs and evolution items.
Gen 7 should feature, secret base, Seasons, and visiting other regions, diving, walking with pokemon, trainer customization and underground.
I wish for some big a event for Pokémon like a anniversary that they will bring all the regions in to one big game
Or just bring it to the Wii U. An RPG where you start out in Johto(sorry if I spelled it wrong)/ Kanto and you unlock the new regions by beating the Pokemon League or by DLC. I think it'd be sick to have every region in one game but I don't think they could do it on a handheld system due to how much space it would require in your systems memory.
REB3L Gaming the problem with multi region games, aside from spsace as you mentioned, is the levels of pokemon. Without raising the max level or slowing the curve of gym leaders even more, it would be impossible to make each gym progressively harder after the 3rd generation, as by then all of the opponents pokemon would be lv100.
Tom - Well maybe when you go to a new region the game makes you start fresh and when you get to the after game of that region you can get bring your old Pokemon to that new region.
That would make sense. Sort of like an honour code for trainers.When in a new region, their previous pokeballs are locked until you've beaten the elite 4 and champion of that region. Although I feel like a game that's such a gamble for nintendo to release would more than likely be a fan developed game. As they would have more freedom to be experimental with the format of the games.
The problem with this (apart from levels) is getting between regions. In the scale map of the Pokemon world, Johto and Kanto are connected, and Sinnoh and Almia are connected. While most regions do have a port of some kind (and Unova has an airport) they are not in logical places to start the adventure. Also they would have to decide if they would include or just reference other regions such as Orre (which would be hard to include but are definitely parts of the Pokemon world)
I so agree with this list. I want some/all of these features in Pokemon Sun and Moon and future games
The safari zone...Just the safari zone :(
but... they did :/
#restinpepperonies
Customization is a must omg. I LOVED IT! I HAD MY HAT OMG!
Oh shit. I forgot about that Dylan/Cole Sprouse commercial XD
wat if you could have a gogoat following you and then talk to it and an option pops out telling you "would you ride your Pokemon" and tell it where you want to go and it will take you there (kinda how fly works)
I personally miss the Safari Zone.
+P. Fox You mean the original mechanics for it, since Safari Zone is in ORAS. It's just more like a secluded area for catching Pokemon you can't get anywhere else, rather than something you pay to do, are timed for, and can only catch pokemon by throwing rocks at it or bribing it to stay put.
tiny punkabuu
I miss the original, because it gave more of a challenge.Sure, the new one is easier, but it really felt worth it when I caught that one Chansey from the original games.
P. Fox I can't say I relate, since even though I grew up with Pokemania, I never played a game until Gen V (hard to play Pokemon, even though you have a Yellow cartridge that a classmate gave you so you'd not be left out, with no GameBoy), but I do wish the games were a bit harder.
I suppose it was changed because most kids have shorter attention spans these days than you and I did, and wouldn't have the patience to stand around in the Safari and throw rocks and fruit at Pokemon to try and catch them, even if they only took out the whole being timed and having to pay thing. Which is what I'd've liked them to do, because even though I never played the original games, I was disappointed the Safari was like it was, as I know what it was supposed to be like. I mean I get it, but ORAS changed a lot to my understanding (usually for the better, like with the teams' goals, but not always).
tiny punkabuu
Yeah, I understand your point. In my opinion, ORAS gave the challenge to the original games back, as you had to find many hard-to-find cut scenes, just to progress. (I was stuck in a town for a week, trying to find out where to go, at a point) So, I do enjoy ORAS, a lot.
P. Fox ORAS had a great plot, which i really enjoyed.
the pc potion is TECHNIACALLY still around. the poke shop worker gives you a potion at one of the first towns. just like the one in XY (but in XY you need to speak to him in the 2nt town)
1:08-1:10 WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY!!?
scratch that... I cant understand shit you're saying
1 small feature I really liked in the past games was that you were able to cut the grass by using the HM cut sure it doesn't really have any purpose but I just felt like it was a more realistic take on Pokemon moves
I REALLY hope the next Pokemon game has Trainer customization...If fact what I think they should do is if you played X or Y they should allow you to transfer your trainer over and continue with him or her, I was actually hoping to see that as a feature in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, But Eh...I just feel that when you add customization to trainers it gives them a whole lot more character and personality and I feel bad leaving mine behind... ; u ;
+Catty Mintgum
Visit your character ones a week then :D
CheekiiChaps Jr. I still shiny hunt in my Pokemon Y game. xD
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for adding seasons! White 2 was the first non emulator pokemon game I played, and the fact that it had seasons blew me away
You guys mumble really badly. Practice your diction so I can understand you better. The list was neat, though.
+Jordan Stiltner I'm not trying to make fun. We all have to work hard to get good at public speaking and, yes, sometimes some folk have a harder time with it than others. I genuinely like his content, but my ability to understand him made it harder to enjoy and think he deserves constructive feedback.
Maybe you just have shitty ears. I don't hear any mumbling.
***** you don't have to improve anything people are just hard of hearing. Keep up the good work
The only ones I'm mad that they didn't continue were pokemon walking with you, trainer customization and secret bases
Implementing all those features would mean that Gamefreak has to put an extra effort when they don't really need to do that, and we all know that Gamefreak is not a company that likes to put more effort into their games than they should. Especially now when Pokemon games has became a yearly releases. Besides, why would they give us more character customization, or following pokemon... you know? things that we actually want if they can give us more BS for Pikachu nobody asked for?
sebotrp pikachu dressing up in outfits > player character dressing up in other outfits
sebotrp Or maybe they're just tired after remaking all the pokemon to update them for the next game as well as the new ones.
sebotrp Pokemon is not a yearly thing, just because a pokemon game was released in 2013 and 2014 does not mean it' a yearly thing. Yeah spin-off games come out every year but if they didn't release another pokemon game till late 2016-2017 they would have heaps of time to implement these things.
sebotrp Wow, such sass. I get the data restrictions on Game Freak's part, but I feel like there's a logistical issue otherwise with even adding one feature constantly.
Nintendo games releasing related to Pokemon are a new mystery dungeon... Not yearly maybe now they will have something good and interesting with some of these ideas
what about the Dex Nav. It is really useful and I loved using it. Along with sneaking up on Pokemon.
Battle Frontier!!
Yeah, that was an awesome feature!
Things I think they should bring back:
-Being hurt by poison outside of battle
-Electric types being able to get paralyzed, Fire types being burnt, etc,
-Being followed by your Pokémon
-Shining your badges (I don't know, I thought it was fun.)
I heard somewhere that they were gonna add the pokemon walking feature in black and white but it was too glitchy. Not sure if that's true
Why don't they just make it an option in the party menu to let your pokemon walk around, that way you could still have any critter follow you and still have the one you want to battle with upfront
Hey I may be late on this but could you do a video on your thoughts of an open world pokemon game that's main series for 1 region?
I wish they would bring back some form of the pokewalker. It was just cool having you pokemon with you!
one thing that I really miss is the Vs. Seeker from FireRed and LeafGreen. I know they have the phone and polemic functions, but only a small sample of trainers could be registered. With the Vs. Seeker, you could go around to clumps of trainers and see who is ready for a rematch with stronger Pokemon than they had last time. I feel like that item should be brought back.
Pokenav* Damn phone...
9:17 Is that a TH-camr reference I see? 4thgengamr the Luxio? Although OldSchoolSin would have made more sense since he has shinx as his mascot.
Nothing about the full experience of the battle frontier with all 7 buildings? When I saw it wasn't in Oras I stopped playing for a week because I was so put off by the fact it wasn't there. From what I read the reasoning for not adding it was also pretty dumb, where "it was too tough" but they still add maison which's super mode requires ev,iv bred/trained pokemon for the higher levels.
I didn't even play multiplayer but I just loved running around in the underground in Diamond, fooling around and mining. :)
YES OTHER REGIONS!! THANK GOD!! That is what I've been waiting for! I would love to do this for other regions and continue my journey for a longer time:)
I would honestly be willing to spend like an extra 20 dollars to see all the pokemon following you around and to see these extra little details. Like to be able to hop on a pokemon you're walking with. Or if you're in a cave with a charmanda and the flame on its tail lights things up a bit. Just those extra things would make it so worth it.
#8: Gotta love how he talks about wanting to unleash his pokemon's max potential while dodging all the trainers and wild grass :p
And yeah, pokemon following + trainer customization in one game would just be mindblowing. My top 2 as well, though I'm sure it is for most of the fandom.
For the seasons thing, the direct effect on the appearance of Deerling and Sawsbuck was also lost in the next Generation. A lot of mechanics are introduced with certain Pokémon species in mind, thus giving them gimmicks, but sometimes said mechanics and gimmicks are lost from a generation to another. Feebas's evolution method is another example.
Just a reminder because people tend to forget: Technically, you could walk beside your Pokemon in Sinnoh. I honestly like that feature more than the constant walking. It made those areas feel special plus you'd get items your Pokemon would pick up! I think it was pretty nice. Plus the area itself was gorgeous.
How about difficulty modes? Assuming they change the feature so you can just choose one at the start instead of having to trade with Black 2 or White 2.
My entire Team of Eevees fell in love with my character in Soul Silver and whenever I talked to them, they would snuggle up and hearts appeared everywhere.
That was so adorable.
Ahhhh I love the underground. Diamond was my first Pokemon game, never gets old. And you could berry mix!
If they made another Pokemon generation (probably very likely) and they were going to do either pokemon walking alongside you or trainer customization, which would you prefer?
Now that you mentioned it, I kinda understand why Seasons were not brought in XY & ORAS, hardware Limitations, although the Neo 3DS(XL) might be able to handle it, but I remember playing Pokemon Y and there are constant frame drops in some areas.
that underground thing in the number four slot you put unova region but it was actually sinnoh and hoenn region
now i see why developers don't like making more games
The feature of Pokemon walking behind you will hopefully return. Maybe in Gen 7 next year because it would be a good huge thing to do for their anniversary.
The potion at the beginning is still there but its typically from a person you talk to early on. Im sure a lot of pwople wouldnt even check the pc is why.
I would love to see what it loosk liek t have a Xerneas or Yveltal follow. Plus it'd be epic if you could hitch a ride on them
With the walking they could add a few every new game.
Like we can ride wailmer, lapras, skiddo, mamoswine, ryhorn and i think sharpedo. Latios and latias megas.
They also have abommasnow, fletchling, furfrou abs possibly a few others i missed as a model in the overworld.
I love this series! Great job guys!
there were shorts for guys in the trainer customization in x/y?
wait is the Pokémon following you only in the remakes of gold and silver or the origanal
I meant and/or the original
just HG and SS
And technically Yellow, but that was only with Pikachu.
Most important feature - Trainer Rematches! Whether this is through Vs Seeker, PokeGear or PokeNav Trainer's Eye, surely this feature is more important than anything else as grinding against wild pokemon or battling the Elite Four over and over can get seriously dull
As much as some of these features would be really cool, there's a difference between "ermagerd there's no underground?" and "we don't think that this feature is worth putting into this game"
I really liked that Poketch thing from D&P I liked seeing my team on the bottom screen.
Yung Yoil Also Under 301 Club ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Yung Yoil Oooh, yeah I like the Poketch, too. Seeing how many steps I take while hatching an egg and seeing my team without having to check the menu is really cool.
I love this this. I absolutely agree with everything, all but one as a bonus to be exact. I feel like join avenue should have been added with the secret base or underground. There was something about join ave. I mean just imagine if they combined join ave, secret base and underground all together?
YES underground, seasons, diving, character customization, and pokémon following you need to return/be in more games and not just their specific games. Especially character customization, I really loved that. That was great. Would be thrilled to see more of that. And Pokémon following you that was amazing, I loved that so much
For me the number 1 injustice for this category is the cutting of the PWT it mad black 2 and white 2 sooo much fun it's crazy how they didn't take the remixed Themes which were amazing and let us battle the characters and gym leaders we learned to love over the years I really hope it returns for good or atleast for Xz Yz or what ever they call the next game
6:21 how do i unlock dat in unova
Tbh with you guys, I feel like these features that are game exclusive makes them unique and stand out from the rest, with them all having the same features they would be very similar and the only difference would be the Pokemon you would be able to catch in the wild. I also feel like these are the reason why we have certain favorite games in the franchise.
Shadowminer30 While I would agree with some features, the trainer customization is one I don't. It was good but there was so much more they could do with it. But, now they are just gonna drop it.
I see your point, but there is this lazy excuse of staying to the original and plus now we have an excuse of liking kalos more? idk
MasterImpsy there's no proof of it being dropped. the only "evidence" is that it wasn't in ORAS, but so what? berry growing wasn't in Unova, and was much different in HG/SS, but came back in Kalos and ORAS. Black and White didn't have any Pokémon return until the national dex was obtained post game, but that didn't stay in B2/W2, or return for X/Y and ORAS. just because it wasn't back in the very next release, doesn't mean it's gone for good. and it was still fairly region specific, as Kalos itself had a large fashion theme not present elsewhere
There was an article I read that said that gamefreak does not plan to bring back trainer customization cause it's a "fashion" thing which will only stay in Kalos. The article CAN BE wrong so I could be wrong. However, if it is true I will be greatly disappointed. I kinda figured it wouldn't be back in ORAS cause remake and all.
MasterImpsy well, like many other features, it does seem region oriented, or at least how they did it feels that way
I dont know if it was mentioned before but you could also walk with certain pokemon in d/p/plat. It was forgettable though, but i enjoyed it in platinum :)
I miss being able to use the move Headbutt and making Random pokemon fall out of a tree. and with the variety of bug pokemon and tree dwelling pokemon they could make it really interesting
it is difficult to come up with new things with how the handheld tech is advancing
I miss the stickers that you could put on the pokeballs. It was fun experimenting with the effects and placement. Loved having my pokemon come out of the ball in a burst of flames or a shower of bubbles. It would be amazing to have that in 3D! I really wish that it would come back as a feature.
that would be great
and they could have more
like one for each type
so the onix doesn't come out of a flame
HE COMES OUT SURROUNDED BY LITTLE BOULDERS
It it just me or did did they mix up #4 and #5's text box get mixed u
I'm glad you put the pokeblock mixer on this list because I miss playing that no matter what anybody says. Also, the game corner and Frontier Battle in ORAS was removed for NO REASON!
+Tania Bams
Well, the Game Corner _kinda_ teached kids how to gamble, so you can understand it atleast, but removing Frontier made no sense..
Man. It was so magical when Fire Red/Leaf Green came out with the adapters. Ah, the memories. I was so excited. But I do still wish they would have included the Johto Region instead of some islands that only had a few things to do. Traveling to Kanto is what made Gold/Silver/Crystal so freaking awesome for me. To include Johto in FR/LG would have been epic.
Underground first intro'd in Unova?
I 100% agree with you on the Pokemon following you thing. I loved that feature so much in HG & SS and was a bit sad when it never showed up again. I loved turning around and talking to my partners. I loved seeing what they had to say right before I went into a gym battle. For my it established a more emotional connection with my Pokemon, they were no longer just "pixels" to me, but instead they were my friends. (that may sound cheesy or retarded to some but I don't care I actually felt that way)
I wish they would allow Pokemon riding for more than just Skiddo, Gogoat, Mamoswine, and Rhyhorn. I'd love to ride an Arcanine or something. Also, I really hope the Soar in the Sky feature is implemented in future games, simply because it makes Flying much more enjoyable. Either that, or they should keep the ability to fly to individual routes.
Regardless, awesome video. A lot of thought was put into this and I agree with just about everything on the list.
i agree with walking with your pokemon.
i wish we could have that again. amie seems to be trying to "replace" that kind of feature but i honestly would prefer walking with my pokemon again. i want to walk around with a Victini sooo badly..
this and vistiting other regions are the two features i want most back.
I remember when I got heart gold and the poke walk thing it was near Halloween and I though it was the best thing ever to bring with me so I put my squirtle in my poke walk thing and went around and at one point it fell off and I didn't notice, when I got back home I was so upset that I lost it and squirtle that I restarted the game, the pokewalk was a great concept
About the pokemon following you, and riding pokemon, they could make it where you could race on them. They could make it where you can race on pokemon like skiddo, gogoat, ponyta and rapidash.
There wasn't one thing on this list that I disagreed with, but if the berry mixer were to come back it should be used to make a special potion instead.
The walking feature is in black and white 2 but it's glitchy and in very hard to find data, unless you know what your doing,I don't.
I totally agree with this list. Though I think that you should be able to select the pokemon you want following you and not be forced to have the one at the front of your party doing it. I may have a pokemon walking with me because I like how it looks or think it makes sense a trainer could have it walking with them and I don't want to be stuck with that one starting off all my battles.
