Agreed, although I hope the Eon Ticket is a non-event thing this time.
- Pokemon following you
- Amazing Trick House
- Contests
- Battle Frontier
- Not a Gen III thing, but I'd like to see poffins return
- Not a Gen III thing, but I'd like to see PokeBall seals return
- Fun post-game stuff to do
- Interesting evil team (I guess we're getting Magma/Aqua back, I hope they're more of an entity then Flare were)
- Interesting rivals. Preferably they won't be your friends. Maybe they could be a rookie member of Team Magma/Aqua who rise through the ranks as you progress through the game?
This. Not sure about the "rival as Team Magma/Aqua member" (who I would want to be separate entity from Wally), although that would be a neat unexpected twist if such a new character was introduced...
Am I the only one who was never actually in love with the secret bases? I mean it's a neat concept, and I think they should still be brought back, but I just never enjoyed them as much as most people seem to have D: If they expanded on them in someway though, then I might be more interested in checking them out :o
I would love to say braille puzzles, but to be honest, I doubt they'll have the same effect as they did in the originals. It was an entirely new concept, and one that required you to do a bit more research and spend a bit more time on the puzzles than you normally had to with most other legendary puzzles (granted you didn't just look up what to do), and I really felt like it's one of the best puzzles to find legendaries that the franchise has brought us so far. But since people are completely aware of what they'd have to do now, I don't think it'll provide as much difficulty in figuring it out as it used to, so I'd honestly rather try to see them bring in a new and fresh kind of puzzle. But I guess making legendaries harder to reach is one of the things I'd like to see return.
Obviously I want Pokemon to follow you again, nothing to add there. I guess the roller skates from XY would be awesome to see too. Even though I haven't actually played the games yet, and thus never used them, it just seems like a great concept.
How can you not love Secret Bases? :o XD Although I guess the novelty of them (like the hop mats and music mats) may wear off for some people, the Secret Base battles felt compelling to me (although it required mixing Records, which could take a while for some people), as they provided oodles of Experience Points! Maybe Game Freak could remove the limit of only doing one Secret Base battle per day (unless you mixed records again within the same day..) to provide more incentive? I have a feeling that mixing Records will be
much easier in Generation 6, due to better wireless/Internet connectivity interactions..
I want the Secret bases to come back and the Contests of course!!!
Oh, and the VS Seeker >_> but this was in FRLG and Emerald tho lol ^_^
I just hope that rematches can be scheduled with Trainers and Gym Leaders better, rather than forcing you to wait for an indeterminate/random amount of time via Trainer's Eyes/Match Call.
