I haven't gotten far in HG/SS yet so I didn't know about the features I could compare Gen V with, but that's okay that they weren't similar. The remakes are suppose to be just a gen 4 version of a GBC game while gen 5 is suppose to be its own thing.
Kinda sucks though that there wasn't a vs. seeker so you could continue to raise Pokemon and keep the game going.
Anyway what I expected from the next gen of Pokemon:
1. a way to drop and drag trade multiple Pokemon at a time rather than still select one at a time and watch the trading animation, though it's a huge time saver you can pick out of the box
2. more baby Pokemon, because I like em
3. a rival I could name, because I miss the days
4. Dewgong could evolve, because I have dreams
5. More realistically, if you could use the C-gear to trade on wifi from anywhere, when I first got it that's what I thought I could do with it, but the truth is I don't know what I'm suppose to do with it.
6. You know how Pokemon stadium had rental Pokemon, or automatically filtered all the Pokemon in your box to show what qualified for the battle ahead. Since the DS has N64 like abilities something like that would have been cool for random match up battles on wifi like if you wanted to do Little Cup or something
7. Teleport System- a lot of Gen V doesn't rely heavily on TM's and that's why I love it. Fly is easy when your stuck somewhere in a pinch, but what if each Pokemon center had like a little teleport option and you could go to a different town without going to the PC, depositing a Pokemon, going to the town, getting your party member back out, bleh. Flora Sky Version had something like this to get to certain islands that weren't on the map and I thought wouldn't it be awesome for everywhere.
