Things I do NOT want:
-Apricorn balls being removed (the pokemon you caught them with could just be "recoloured" into normal pokeballs by default when traded to D/P/Pt or not allowed to be traded if a pokemon is holding one).
Agreed. Or, what would make more sense, is that it becomes a Pokeball.
-Crystal events and features not being included (I could understand if the Suicune story wouldn't be included, although I hope otherwise).
I think the Suicune story should be included. They didn't make a 3rd remake game for FR/LG, so I'd feel cheated if they ditched the Crystal story.
-Terribly low leveled trainers, gym leaders, everything.
Never noticed they were low.
-1st generation Pokemon overshadowing 2nd generation Pokemon in their own region (wild, in-game trades, everything). Basically, too many Kanto Pokemon in Johto and too many Johto Pokemon in Kanto.
While I don't think they should overshadow them, I still would like to see a lot of this.
-Johto gym leaders, 2nd generation members of the Elite 4 (Will and Karen) and Johto in-game trainers using mostly Kanto pokémon. What happened to representing your region/the region you were introduced with?
Very true. But tell me how many goodJohto pokemon work for them?
-The exclusion of 3rd and 4th generation pokémon that are related and linked to 2nd and 1st generation pokémon, and also the two 3rd generation Unowns (? and !) not being included. They should all be included.
YES. I'm seriously hating the people who are like "no RSE/DP pokemon until nat dex!!1! It doesn't make sense to exclude them.
-No gym leader rematches.
Yes. Because we all want to be able to challenge our favs again.
-No updated Johtodex (which would be; 2nd and 1st generation pokemon, the 3rd and 4th generation pokemon that are related and linked to them, and all their different forms. Basically just a simple "add-on and upgrade", as I doubt they would remove any pokemon that were originally in the Johtodex before).
-No appearance of the opposite gender that you didn't pick. They had both rivals in D/P/Pt, it should happen in Hg/Ss as well.
In Crystal, they got an honorable mention (silent battle) at that one house battle place, but yes, they definitely need to be more a part of the game this time.
-The Unown dex removed.
That would suck.
-All 3rd and 4th pokemon that are unrelated or unlinked to any 1st and 2nd generation pokemon available in the game at all (apart from possibly a couple of event pokemon). That's what R/S/E/D/P/Pt are for.
I don't think so. I say there should be some - not all, but not completely missing, either.
-That Neo Kanto region at all (just because I know it would most likely be included, doesn't mean I want it to be at all. Seriously, if this "two major regions in one game" idea was as brilliant as many people think it is, how come it wasn't in any other games after GSC? Because Game Freak must have wised up and realised it wasn't such a fantastic idea after all. >_>).
Well, everyone else liked it. I would even like it to be explored in more detail.
-I do NOT want to see no expansion on Johto, and instead just the same small sized region we got back in GS. If Crystal can add a couple of new areas, this can add many more new Johto areas. There is no excuse to not greatly expand on Johto at all.
Again, yes. It would be annoying not to see anywhere new.
-Bike dismantle when you go through a gatehouse.
Annoying.
-Surf attacking your other pokemon in 2-on-2 battles.
It's a game mechanic, so I doubt it'll change. It makes sense after all, and if you don't like it, combo with Water Absorb.
-No new radio shows in addition to all the ones from Crystal.
We must have new things! Like Who's That Pokemon!
-Laggy game speed from D/P (I'm not sure if they have fixed this in Platinum, I haven't played it yet).
Laggy? Huh?
-Constant weather in just one place. If weather changed all around, that would be great.
That would be awesome.
-The Pokégear radio automatically turning itself off when you enter a new town, city, route, building, floor, etc.
That was annoying, too.
-Calling out attacks, 4 regions and any other gimmicky, god-awful ideas that are definitely not going to happen.
Calling out attacks would be a nice feature so long as it was not required. I'd like to be able to shout into my DS if I wanted to, but would probably stop playing if I had to do it to attack. Four reigons would be overkill, and I doubt it would go to Sinnoh because it's the same time period. Maybe a Neo Hoenn if they have enough time to do it, though, and I admit that would be interesting.
-Orange Islands (anime filler arcs are uneeded in main, canon games).
The Whirl Islands season was a filler arc. Should they be taken out? I think they should just be in there so that the only pokemon reigon to ever not appear in a game would be able to get into one.
-An endless Items bag instead of an Items Storage in the PC (I'm sure they could just include both...).
-Removal of Red Gyarados. Unlike "Neo Kanto", this was actually a pretty important part of the game's storyline.
Yes.
-No new Safari Zone (Every major region has a safari zone, except Johto). That's true. There should be one... or the Kanto one get reopened.
-Sevii Islands (The Sevii Islands in Fr/Lg were just fine).
I agree here, but I wouldn't complain if they were in.
-Honey trees. Although I'm sure they could have both these and Headbutt trees, I prefer using the Honey trees in Sinnoh. Headbutt trees however should be available in Johto.
Yes.
-Not being able to evolve your 2nd and 1st generation Pokemon if they couldn't evolve in the original G/S, until you've beaten the game. An inappropriate and horribly obnoxious feature that shouldn't have even been in Fr/Lg.
More Yes.
-The uneeded "automatic" text that was in D/P (again, not sure if they've removed this in Platinum).
What do you mean?
That's all I've got, for the moment.
Yeah, I agree. I wouldn't want to see that either, I prefer the old-skool way.
