I imagine it was because it's a GSC remake, and so they decided to go with the phone again, akin to GSC. (Especially seeing it has some 'role' in that you get a few important phone calls to progress in the storyline). Only they added more phone numbers (like the gym leaders), and removed the limit on how many numbers you could have and all.
It'd have been nice if they had put in a VS Seeker as well to battle people not accessible via the phone, but oh well. Phone isn't that bad actually - some people you rematch with it give you items as well (like Proteins, or the evolution stones, etc), and the gym leaders rematches are pretty good for levelling (you can just keep calling them over and over in the same time period they have rematches). It doesn't quite help that atm all the names are in Japanese and all so it's hard to see who you're calling without commiting names to memory or just learning, obviously.
