Features from X&Y you wish were in OR/AS?
There were a lot of features introduced in X&Y that were absent from OR/AS. Some of it was due to it being a remake of a game that was made before those features existed, some of it was due to the fact that certain features are unique to the Kalos region (like the Holo Caster, which was invented in Kalos). Either way, we probably all have things we wish had been included in OR/AS. What about you, which features do you wish they had brought back into OR/AS?
For me, it's definitely trainer customization. I really miss having a uniquely designed character. Especially during Wi-Fi battles, where it's sometimes May vs. May or Brendan vs. Brendan o.o |

Trainer Customization absolutely! I really miss it >.< I liked getting new outfits and cute hair for my avatar.
Roller skating was fun too! |
Apparently, the "XY to ORAS" changes are here - http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Generation_VI#Alterations_from_Pok.C3.A9mon_X_and_Y
Off the top of my head: Pokémon Trainer customization, for sure! Not sure about any other major omitted features..although Pokémon Trainer PR videos, natural objects, and Sky Battles should all have been retained. I dislike limiting "features" to a region/set of games unless absolutely necessary.. Particularly with customization..non-French people play dress up too, you know, Game Freak.. -.- Additionally, I don't buy the excuse of "letting Brendan and May retain their original/unique/distinctive looks from Generation 3", as arguably their outfits have been altered noticeably/substantially in Generation 6, and they even don entirely different outfits for Pokémon Contests (-Spectaculars)! Hopefully, the feature returns in full force for Pokémon Z (if it will exist) and Generation 7 and beyond. I mean, if Game Freak wants regions to have their own "identity" apart from other regions, then the regions can do that with the regional geography and (most) of the Pokemon Trainers that the region in question contains (after all, each region can't contain the exact same people and places - primarily due to plotline and variety purposes). Oh, and the XY Berry mechanics should have been retained! (if they were good, that is) Also, I think there was an issue with the ORAS Berry Trees having a discrepancy with different Berry coloration and/or Berry number/count in contrast with the XY Berry Trees...? Something about the unique Berry Tree sprites or something about Berry Tree not accurately reflecting the Berry number..? ~_~ The XY Friend Safari mechanic should have also returned, although in a non-online dependent manner (or at least a manner where you can still reap all of the benefits if you don't have other players to connect to). And a Hoenn-style Battle Chateau should have returned from XY as well! |
I really miss trainer customization, friend safaris and battle frontier from emerald. I hope ¿"Pokemon Z"? improve trainer customization.

I think we needed a stinking Battle Frontier, possibly with a Friend Safari thrown onto it (leaving the standard one). And like everyone else said, I want my Black Trench Coat Dress back. |
I would agree with most of the users here and say that I wanted Trainer Customization back as well, because that's what makes every Trainers unique in a way.
|
Trainer customization is a MUST for Brendon and May their look just so plain while as PC aside contest looks is only for contest and it's shame though. Safari needs to be replaced with Friend Safari

Trainer Customization
which has been said a million times already Quote:

I know they wanted to keep the original designs of the characters (even though they didn't keep the original designs), but really, if we could dress up a Pikachu, why can't we dress up the main character? They could have at least let us change the color scheme of their outfits--for example, making May's shirt and bandana purple instead of red.

I think trainer customization for brenden/may would look weird

Also, I've said this before, but I wish they had implemented the soaring encounters as Sky Battles, and maybe had some Sky Trainer encounters integrated into soaring as well. I don't think Sky Battles even made an appearance at all in OR/AS (unless I just missed it?), which is a shame because it's an idea that has a lot of potential, and I'd hate to see them just scrap it altogether. |

I agree on the potential part with Sky Battles, especially we have a Flying-type Gym. Whilst not a fan of Sky Battles, they really could have make use of it in ORAS! Just imagine Winona limiting us to use Flying Pokemon! For those who do not use any Flying or floating Pokemon, it's definitely gonna drive them nuts! X'D
Imo, the feature that could have been part of ORAS from XY is easily the trainer customization feature. I love Battle Chateau as well, we can earn money from various rich trainers and we can also have rematches with our favorite Gym Leaders and Elite Four members! So Battle Chateau could have been part of ORAS too! |
Being able to ride on a Pokémon like in X/Y would be a neat thing to see. That's something I've been thinking about for a while now.
|
The one feature I miss most is trainer customization. :/
|
May with short purple hair and a fedora would look weird.

player customisation, friend safari's and poke radar chaining
|
I miss trainer customization too, not only because it allowed trainers to be unique, but also because May's design was utterly ruined.
|
As many have already pointed out, trainer customisation was sorely missed. I love my sporty female character! I've also enjoyed using the Battle Chateau and riding the Pokemon through different terrains.
|
I have to agree with all of you. Customization was something I just loved. (I knew were I was going to spend my money).
|
I can see why customization was not in ORAS and doubt it will be in the remakes in years to come. I do wish something like the Battle Chaetu was in ORAS
|
Battle Chateau was the major thing I would have liked to see. It was my preferred Battle _____ from XY, and was great for post-game grinding.
|
I missed trainer customization, and I really liked having all my berry plots in one spot! Even though I didn't really use them, I thought some of the mutation mechanics were interesting, and I like the design of trees in XY better than ORAS. The new tree sprite looks too small to me. I liked the bushiness of XY.
|
I am also on the trainer customization bandwagon. While I don't use it as much in X as I should, it does promote unique trainer designs and makes online battles not just fighting endless clones.
A facility like the Battle Chateau would have been great as well. Relying on Elite Four rematches was way too much for me. |

Also, I found the "discrepancy" that I mentioned earlier (courtesy of Bulbapedia's Berry article): "In Generations III and IV, beyond the sprouting stages, all Berry plants had different sprites as they grew. In Generation VI, Berry plants only have unique sprites in their final, harvestable stage. In Pokémon X and Y, the sprites for the earlier stages differ based on the Berry's color, but in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the earlier stages use the same sprite for all Berries." I think Generation 6 was lazy, since Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald at least bothered to provide unique sprites/models for each Berry (excluding the quirky e-Reader Berries) past the general "Berry sprouting" stage. Also, I'm surprised that Pokemon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire opted to be more lazy and removed the "color differences from the pre-harvestable stages" from Pokemon X and Y, which supplied some, albeit limited, artistic visual uniqueness. Admittedly, having to keep track of watering, weed removal, pest removal, and Mulch application may seem a bit much just for getting some Berries, although I feel that the system is somewhat manageable. I'm not sure if I prefer the Generation 3 or Generation 6 fertilizing Mulches, though.. I feel that Hoenn's system of "5 Berry stages total" is a bit more feasible to work with compared to Kalos' system of "7 Berry stages total". Also, an aside remark, but I hope that future games endeavor to keep at least a set of Berry fields (like the amount that Hoenn's Berry Master has in his backyard) clustered together. They can retain the "Berry fields scattered across the region" as well as "a device feature for tracking scattered Berry fields", so as long as we have some Berry Master-esque Berry field plots available! :) EDIT: Also, what do they mean that "Mulch is unsuitable for Hoenn soil"? >:( When I was hoping for "Hoenn remakes", Mulches were like the one thing that I wanted to be added to Hoenn's "Berry caretaking system". -_- I mean, aren't fertilizers for tropical territories/areas/plants a thing? So disappointed that Hoenn misses out on Mulch action.. |
Trainer customization should have been part of at least the online mode, it saddens me that we went back to everybody having the same character model on online matches after X and Y.
It should have been expanded, so people can actually have a unique persona, I believe Pokemon Battle Revolution made the best use of trainer customization. |
While I do miss trainer customization. I think that the playable characters in ORAS are a little bit more iconic and I think it would look weird if we were to suddenly be able to change the way that they looked. I think for me at least, I would leave this feature alone if it existed in ORAS. Side note though, I just beat OR and I'm having a hard time adjusting to the UI changes and general cleanliness in X.

Hmmmm, Probably the Trainer Customization and Battle Chateau.
I like training my pokemons on the Battle Chateau. |
