I want bases back for one reason; to go searching for the people i connect with and battle them. In HGSS it was great, connect pokewalkers on the go, and then battle later in Viridian City. But, they were all clumped together and in one spot, didn't seem like people at all. Not to mention everyone said the exact same thing... Battle? ITS MATCH! Lame... I want to connect to people and then go walk around, have another adventure for god sakes, finding my friends, and battling their most powerful teams, with a GOOD AI DIRECTOR!!! Enough of my cousins OU Salamence using DD 100 times in a row while Weavile is out Ice Sharding him. Searching for that base is the most fun though! And finding you're own spot to create a base in the game is fun too. Mine was always next to the waterfall, directly above the weather station in RSE. No one could get to it, cuz the fools always chose the Mach bike... acro bike for the win. The point is, i don't want to make a base in JUST a rock wall, thats boring. how bout a house. Or a tree. Or a mountain, hell, even a little room in a cave! (Legend of Zelda perhaps?) They have so much they can alter and make better, but they had it pretty freakin close with RSE.
