1. No VS Seeker
2. Pokemon do not follow you
3. Worse User Interface(Sorry, I do not need to see my online options every second of everyday, I'd rather have ****ing hotkeys there, like HG/SS perfected.)
4. Connecting to the internet induces rage.
5. Lower resolution sprites due to moving despite the DS having the capabilities to do much better than that. I'll take my Gen 4 sprites, thank you. Look much better.
6. Dowsing Machine not good for Shiny's.
7. Story focuses too much on N, not you, like the other games.
8. Pokewalker is useless(Say what you want, it had uses.)
9. Story ends too soon with not a lot to do afterwards other than hunt for the sages.
10. Not as much ambient sounds.
11. The battle screen is worse than Gen 4. It used to be that the plot of land each pokemon stood on matched the environment, now they're just colored blobs. The only improvement is that you can see weather effects on the battle menu.
12. While the idea of battling on a subway is cooler, the Battle Frontier was a lot more awesome in terms of atmosphere and what kind of battles you could do.

The fact that mostly everything from Gen llll and back is unobtainable apart from migrating and Dream World.

OH right, migrating is also kinda hard considering it won't let you do what Generation 4 did in that it allowed you to put R/S/LG/FR/etc at the bottom of your DS and actually migrate, while now we can't even do that. :(

AND not being able to trade items forward kinda sucks too (well as implied I only have one DS so I couldn't do it anyway BUT STILL) since all the Masterballs people have collected over the years... gone to waste!

Also @ Trainer Evan: The story focusing on N is good though, because you become apart of it and become the "other hero" of Unova.

Well...you can't really expect them to make migrating easy this time around. Gen IV and V are one the same system. Back then in the beginning of Gen IV the DSi wasn't even out meaning the the original DS and the DS Lite still had the GBA cartridge slot so Nintendo just took advantage of that. Its not like the DSi or 3DS has 2 DS Card slots so you can't really expect migrating Pokemon this time around to be as easy.

There's still a great portion of fans who haven't yet upgraded, so the option for doing that for those with the older DS' could've still been considered, while everyone on the other systems migrated the newer way. I don't think that would've taken that much extra effort to have both options available depending on what DS the games are played on.

Yea, but Nintendo isn't really one to cater to both sides of the spectrum. Besides its not migration itself that's the issue, its how. Even for those who haven't upgraded, like me. It wouldn't matter. In order to migrate the old way, there'd have to be away to utilize both DS cards in one DS. And that's not possible.
