Things You Miss from Older Gens
I thought it'd be nice to have a thread where people talked about things from some of the older generations that they thought were nice, that should've been kept. (in your opinion, of course.)
I'll even start out... I loved the PokeRadar, was definitely really good at hunting down shinies with it. Can't say that I'd dislike having it in B/W. |
The Poketech was a pretty cool thing. Had a bunch of apps.
|
Biggest thing for me is the Vs. Seeker because it really helped with the leveling up.
|
Berserk Gene
Pay Day Pikachu Missingno item duplicating exploit from first gen gen two's PC Pokemon copying of Gold & Silver buying Slowpoketail Curse Porygon2 Physical Hidden Power damage The Chansey Dance Being able to teach Swords Dance to Qwilfish Ice Punch Gengar |
I miss the poketch too. And it would've been nice to be able to buy stones again like in G1.
|
Ability to travel to different regions
Old elite four set up.. The new one is HORRIBLE. All the elite four is made up of i mainly psychic, ghost, and dark. Victory Road. B/W victory road is a joke. Creativity with legendaries. seems like all the legendaries are becoming more and more less creative, ex 1st Gen Trio Birds were very different from each other and even had some odd creativity in the names; ArticUNO, ZapaDOS, & MolTRES (Spanish for 1, 2, & 3) The birds were very different physically but yet you still knew they were a group. The new Tornados or whatever.. What a joke. They are exactly the same with different move sets and colors and no creativity. AND FINALLY; A true rival. Gary vs Ash was so fun! Now you just have two annoying friends tagging along and annoying you every step of the way. Z doesnt put up much of a fight and overall isnt a challenge. (Along with your two friends) D; but still i love the game just thought id tell you what i wish we still had :} |
Vs. Seeker for me. I mean, there are trainers at the Nimbasa Stadium, but it gets boring facing the same Pokemon over and over again.
|
The Game Corner, cause I've always liked the slots and the Vs. Sneeker caused it helped leveling up. And the Safari Zone. Don't know whybut I've always liked the Safari Zone.
|
The only thing I miss is the Safari Zone, I really miss catching Pokemon though the Safari.
|
Pokéradar. (Yeah it was sort of broken in how many shinies you could get from it. Maybe making it auto-reset when you catch a shiny would fix that.)
Secret Bases The Underground IV battles Lv5 eggs |
Definitely agree with most of you... don't miss secret bases/the underground/Missingno.
Can't you buy items evolution stones in Black City? (White City, I'm guessing, for those with White instead of Black?) |

Vs. Seeker item, and ACTUAL LEGIT CONTESTS.
What are these Musicals, that are a sad excuse for a side attraction?! ;~; Also, I was hoping they'd keep the partner Pokemon following you in B&W, and it didn't happen. |
I miss the Game Corner, the Safari Zone and the Pokeathlon from the older games. If they'll be put in the third version, I'll be happy.
|
The vs. seeker and the battle frontier. Not to mention move tutors.
The battle subway get's boring once you've done it once or twice. :( |
like some people the Missingo duplicating glitch.
Also the game corner, and younger Joey. |
Hm...
The only things I miss would be the pokéathlon and the pokéradar >> Oh, and I also miss the VS Seeker due to the fact that after the main game ends, the only trainers with pokémon lower than lv.60 would be the ferris wheel trainers. Oh, and the underground. --------------------------------- Quote:

Vs. Seeker, Poketch, Gym Leader rematches, and R/S/E style Secret Bases. I wouldn't mind a radio like that on the PokeGear either.
|
I really miss where pokemon where able to follow you
Level 5 eggs and most of all the lack of critical hits which happens constantly in black and white |
I miss following pokemon, secret bases from 3gen, and Pokeathlon.
|
Pokemon contest and the pokewalker was pretty kool but i only ever used it when i really wanted to count my steps XD. and the pokeradar would keep me playing for hours that really was a fun feature
|
Auto lv. 100 6v6 wi-fi battles. While grinding to lv. 100 is extremely fun in this game (no joke), it would've been pretty convenient to keep that feature.
Speaking of which, I did kind of miss VS seeker and such at first, but then I found that if you know how to work the game right (Lucky Egg and Exp. Pass Power), you could get TRUCKLOADS of experience from the places stadiums and other powerful trainers. Moreso than the previous games and not have to deal with the annoyance of having to "recharge". |
