Can't believe I never actually posted this. There are some features I really want to come back in USUM and there are some I don't want to return.
Want
- The DexNav: This is still my favorite feature from ORAS and I really missed it in SM. It was such a useful tool when catching Pokemon to fill up my PokeDex. Not only that, I loved being able to rematch trainers I had already battled to train, it made life so much easier. I hope they bring this back in USUM.
- Ride Pokemon: Do I need to explain this? It was such a convenience not having to deal with HM's in these games. That was one of the biggest pet peeves from the previous games. I hope they keep this feature in other games.
- Poke Pelago: Still is my favorite feature from SM. It was such a neat feature and I was pretty much checking it every single day while playing. And it was such a big help when I was completing the PokeDex and you need evolution stones to evolve some Pokemon. I loved this feature and I hope it stays in future games.
- The Bicycle: I hated the fact that they got rid of this feature in SM, especially when breeding for shinies. It made the time go by so much faster when on a bike. I really missed it and I really it comes back.
- SOS Battles: I did hate SOS Battles in these games and if they do bring it back which I'm sure they will, I hope they make some changes to it. I think it is fitting for Totem Pokemon to call for their allies, that is perfectly fine by me. But not every single Pokemon in the damn game. Nothing got more to me than when you're trying to catch a Pokemon and you get it to low enough HO so you can catch it, only to have it call for help. Just make it so the only way for a Pokemon can call for help is if you use an adrenaline orb.
- Fishing: I feel like I'm the only one who hated the new way of fishing and want them to bring back the old way of doing so. I especially hated fishing in these specific spots, only to encounter Magikarp. I hate the new way of fishing so much and it hope they get rid of it.
- Tutorials: I hope they give us the option to skip through tutorials while playing. Pretty much everyone has played previous games and already know how to catch Pokemon. The tutorials are not necessary and there really should be an option to skip it.
- Character Customization: This is still my favorite feature from XY and I'm so glad it came back in SM. I just hope they make up the lacking options for the male character. Don't get me wrong, they did give him so many better options but it was still not up to par. There could have been so many better options for Sun and it was just lacking completely, IMO.
Not Want
- Pokemon Following You: I honestly hated this feature so much and it got so annoying when playing through HeartGold. All I wanted to do was put the Pokemon back in its PokeBall. I've seen so many wanting this feature to come back and I'll be honest, I'll be happy if it does come back as an optional feature, not a mandatory one.
- Festival Plaza: This feature is a nightmare and it is still the worst feature to ever come out of a Pokemon game. I swear, all I wanted to do was trade Pokemon with my friend, not sit around during a forty minute speech from Sophacles about what this dumb feature is. Please, for the love of everything in this universe, get rid of it and replace it with the PSS.
