What features of previous games would we like to have in 7th gen?

*Day/Night system- I love the transitions between day and night in Gen 6, so I would hope they would add it to Gen 7. Also give us more Pokemon between Day and Night!
*Seasons- This was an awesome feature in Gen 5 and needs to come back!
*Gym Leader Rematches- I would love more rematches.
*Battle Frontier- I was really hoping for the battle frontier in ORAS, so I hope they add something similar in Gen 7.
*Pokeball creation/customization- Apricorn balls and Pokeball stickers.

Alright guys, great choices! This reminds me of how many great features there've been in the past. It's been so long since I've played the some of the older games, so I had completely forgotten about a few of these!

I'd like to add two more suggestions, because these are features I really liked and I think they'd be great to have in a future game: The Pokémon Dream Radar, and the Pokéwalker.

We'll have a poll up for these later today, here's what we have so far:
  • Trainer customization
  • Challenge/Easy mode
  • DexNav
  • Battle Frontier
  • Soaring
  • Pikachu Surf Game
  • Following Pokémon
  • Apricorns/Apricorn balls
  • Secret Bases
  • PR Videos
  • Friend Safari
  • PokéGear
  • 2 regions
  • Pokémon Musical
  • Pokéstar studios
  • Unova Link Key System
  • Pokéathlon
  • Bug catching contests
  • Contests
  • Berry Pots
  • The Underground
  • Join Avenue
  • Dream World
  • Battle Factory
  • PWT
  • Gym Leader Rematches
  • Poketch
  • Game Corner
  • Seasons
  • Pokéball Customization
  • Pokémon Dream Radar
  • Pokéwalker
Here's a few others that were mentioned, but these have all appeared in more than one of the most recent Pokémon games and haven't been removed, so it's safe to assume that these will be regular features (unless you guys think they might not be, then let us know!)
  • PokéRadar
  • Day/Night Cycle
  • Pokémon Amie
  • Wonder Trade
  • Super Training
  • O Powers
  • PSS

Is PSS meant to be in the top list or the bottom list? Aside from that, I wouldn't mind ALL of those things being in a game. I think the game would have to be massive to accommodate all of those features though.

Bottom list, thanks for catching that haha

So the poll is up, everyone! It's multiple choice so go ahead and vote on which ones you want to see. The top 10 will be the ones that go into our 7th gen game ^^

If you want, feel free to discuss the options and the reasons for your choices here in the thread while the poll is open :)

I'm gonna group these into 4 categories. Italics are the ones I voted for.

Obligatory - GF has officially screwed up if these don't return
- Following Pokemon (I've wanted this back since HGSS)
- Battle Frontier (If it ain't broke...)
- Contests (...don't fix it. And I want ORAS Contests. Not crappy Sinnoh ones)
- Trainer Customization (I WANT MY TRENCH COAT DRESS)
- Challenge/Easy Mode (And make challenge mode harder without increasing the level curve)
- Gym Leader Rematches (Uhhh, WHY WAS THIS EVER REMOVED?)
- Pokeball Customization (Because I must have hearts erupting from my Sharpedo's Pokeball)

- The Poketetch Coin Flip App (Because... I dunno)

Would be Nice - I really want these back, but I'd still play your game without them
- Poketathalon (Was the best feature in HGSS)
- Pokewalker (Second best feature in HGSS)
- 2 Regions (Are you seeing a pattern here?)
- Pokegear/Xtranceiver/Holo Caster (except improve them pls)
- Soaring (I despise having to carry a Flying type around)
- Game Corner (screw the gambling federation's rules, gimme my roulette table)
- PWT (See Battle Frontier and Gym Leader Rematches)
- PSS/Super Training/Amie/Dexnav (I'm grouping these together here)

Completely Neutral - The meh features. Enjoyable as long as they don't replace any of the above
- Musicals/Studios/PR Vids (All of these are the same thing)
- Dream Radar (Make it free though)
- Secret Bases (Ohhhh, much secret...)
- Friend Safari (Make it less clunky too)
- Apricorns (Obligatory if the Poketathalon returns)
- The Underground (If we turn it into an MMO)
- The Poketetch Friendship Checker (ok, maybe 2)

Please No GF - Why did these exist in the first place?
- The rest of the Poketetch (clunky)
- Berry Pots (I WANT MY DAMN HOENN/SINNOH BERRY MECHANICS. HOW HARD IS THAT?)
- Seasons (I like Ice Types, and would prefer to be able to catch them more than 3 months a year)
- The Day/Night Cycle (Well, it was fine until you started basing encounters on it. Kinda like Seasons.)

And I think that's all of them.

I voted for almost all of them, except the following:

Pikachu Surf Game: Unless they can make it in a way that is pretty fun or make it in an EV training minigame, no thanks.
2 Regions: A big region with great exploration is better than 2 regions with one decent one and one just being a big city with nothing special in particular. Unless they can make it in a way where visiting 2 regions are required for story, nope.
Unova Key Link System: No. What's the point of this?
The Underground: If I have to use it just to get a Pokemon with Internet connection required, nope.
Pokémon Dream Radar: Don't know what is it though.

Currently playing: The Ultimate Rodent Solo Run Challenge Marathon
Pokemon Blue Raticate Run: (8/8) (COMPLETED)
Pokemon Silver Furret Run: (16/16) (JOHTO + KANTO + RED COMPLETED)
Pokemon Sapphire Linoone Run: (8/8) (COMPLETED)
Pokemon Pearl Bibarel Run: (2/8)
Pokemon White Watchog Run: (N/A)

I've voted for them all, other than Underground. The feature seemed to have been sort of unpopular in generation four, and I don't believe it'll be any more popular this time around, considering how much more things we have these days to spend our time with; there wouldn't be much reason to have it around.

But...But... Why does everyone hates the berry pots???
I thinks its much easier than going all over the region, you just have to open your, your bagpack... and put a berry.. and water it..
I sorta agree, but there were just too few of them (iirc, the game only came with 4 pots total?) I'm not a big fan of the way the berry planting locations are scattered about the region, such as in Hoenn, but I think Berry Fields in X&Y was the ideal solution: one spot where you can plant all the berries you'll ever need. I'd be cool with Berry Pots making their return in Gen 7 as long as we got a bunch of them. Like, at least 10 or so :P

I would love for gen 7 to have the customization of gen 6, a Pokemon that can follow you, battle frontier, pwt, rematch gym leaders, 2 regions, dexnav, friend safari.

I would also love to seem more destructive move, also rework sturdy a bit where it will still proc as long as you have 75-95% of your health (gives it more use) but make so that under that threshold ohko moves can still work. I just wish GF would make ohko moves more skillful. Its accuracy is okay, hell cut the pp down, i just love destructive moves but alot of people hate them :(

Wow, no love for the Pikachu surf game! I didn't vote for it either. Maybe if a Pikachu knows surf, it gets its own overworld model (like Sharpedo). That could be a neat alternative.

Good call on Dream Radar and Pokewalker, I'd forgotten about them, even though I've been playing Dream Radar quite a lot recently, both are great companions to the games and I'd love to see them used again!

So many great features, are you sure we can't have 'em all? ;)

I didn't know what a few of the options were meaning but the main things I voted for where features that would keep the player involved after they have beaten the main storyline. I believe that features such as Wonder Trade and customization are a big part which help people. I honestly would like to see more Animal Crossing-like features to be added to Pokemon like the ability for trainers to maybe be able to get a house or training facility for their Pokemon and train in there. Then people could buy content for that, I feel like that could be a good idea.

I also love the idea of a game having more than one region. Maybe Gamefreak could add a feature with other palyers to make regions in-game even though that could get redundant. Also, adding a Battle Frontier is always a good choice as well because that gives us more leaders to fight after beating the E4.

Trainer Customization, Contests, Apricorn Balls, the PWT, less gimicky seasons, and Berry Pots are must haves in my opinion.

Alright everyone, now that the poll has closed, we've counted up the votes. Here are the features that the community has chosen to make their return in our 7th gen game!

Trainer Customization
Following Pokémon
2 Regions
DexNav
Battle Frontier
Soaring
Secret Bases
Gym Leader Rematches
Pokéball Customization
Contests

I don't know about you guys, but I'd say this looks like it's shaping up to be an awesome game already! But it doesn't stop there :D Here's the next part of our event:

What brand new features would we like to see introduced in 7th gen?



With a new generation comes new features to help us enjoy our Pokémon adventure. Seventh gen will surely be no exception. Let us know your ideas for new, never before seen features that you'd like to see introduced in our 7th gen game!

What brand new features would we like to see for the first time in 7th gen?

  • Hidden Power Fairy.
  • Branching storyline.
  • Disabling Mega Evolution/Primal Reversion.
  • More than one villainous team.
  • Ability to control the camera angle in the overworld.
  • Replace HMs with items (leave Surf, Waterfall and Dive as is).
  • Riding one of your rideable PKMN in your party.
  • House Feature (kinda like a Secret Base, but houses instead!).
  • In-game Screenshot (PKMN Rumble World has this, so why not the main PKMN series game?).

  • Hidden Power Fairy.
  • More than one villainous team.
  • Ability to control the camera angle in the overworld.
  • Replace HMs with items (leave Surf, Waterfall and Dive as is).
And I would like to include:
  • Pokémon Events give us sidequests (with a good story) to catch/receive Pokémon, instead of just giving them.
  • Underwater Secret Bases

What brand new features would we like to see introduced in 7th gen?

Sopheria, I'd like to see soaring expanded so that more flying Pokemon are able to be soared on. I'd live to soar on some cute Pokemon such as Lugia, Giratina, and Reshiram. How about soaring on an Aerodactyl? What about Flygon or Salamence?

I also want to see a lot more "episodes", akin to the Delta Episode. The Delta Episode was great and I think a lot more of those will add a lot of value to the game. I guess, these could be sidequests, but they can add a lot to the post-game festivities.

Someone mentioned the ability to ride Pokemon, like Gogoat? I like that. Do that.

I think doubling the amount of PC boxes might be fun too.

How about co-op? Via the internet, or local WiFi, bring another player into your game. It'd be kind of like the Union Room but you and a friend (or more) can explore the area you're currently in with you. They, of course, can't go beyond that, but still.

Time Machine. With Gen 1 being rereleased, I'd like to see some sort of interaction between those games, and current gens. The ability to send Pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 7 would be interesting. They'd need to work out how to convert/assert a lot of the changes in data though. Good luck GameFreak.

I need to think of more ideas later.

Let's see... Pokemon have competed in Beauty Contests, Sports, Musicals, Movies, Vines (PR Videos)... I can't come up with any new ones :(. Unless we suddenly had a Pokemon cooking competition, I dunno.

Great suggestions so far! I'm especially loving the branching storyline and camera controls ideas that destinedjagold came up with. More episodic installments like the Delta Episode would be nice too, maybe have a few different extra postgame quests that you can do after you've completed the main game. I'd love to see the time machine return too! Although sometime I noticed a while ago was that if 7th gen is compatible with the Pokémon Bank, Pokemon will actually be able to travel backwards from 7th gen to 6th gen.

If you have new Moves/Abilities you can't transfer them like they did many times in the past, or you just can't transfer any xD

I dont like having a pokemon as Hm slave... you know what would be really cool?? If certain pokemon had that ability in them, not having to give up a move for them. And instead of getting "the right" to use them by the gym leaders they just teached you how to use that abilty. Like, pidgey know how to fly, pikachu knows how to make a flash of light... That kinda things... Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thats something new i would like to see.
