Which game mechanic you don't want to ever be removed or want a return of?

I know it's a niche game mechanic, but I don't want them to ever remove walking with your Pokemon in the over world, someone else has to agree with me on this one. Unfortunately, it seems exclusive to hgss, let's go, dlc area of swsh, bdsp, and scvi. I'm not counting yellow because it's only pikachu. Do you want any other game mechanics or features to remain or return to legends 2 or even gen 10 besides mega evolutions? But it might already be a given in legends 2. Maybe? As for the game mechanic I want to return in "Kalos 2" or the next region, which isn't likely to return, is berry farming or even a proper successor to poke-amie/refresh.
 
Likes walking with your Pokemon in the overworld. Needs to make some Pokemon keep up better, though. Constantly calls them back in Scarlet/Violet, for instance.

Wants level-up move relearning to stay as easy as it is in Sword/Shield or Scarlet/Violet. Knew them once. Why should it be difficult to learn again? Hopes to see TM/TR moves that were known make it in there too, particularly with one-use machines being in vogue.

For a returning mechanic: Something like HMs, but more flexible? Why is Cut the only method for trees when Slash or Flamethrower should do? Ideally never needs too many at once for progression (or even any). Hates to return to the days of Hoenn's Victory Road.
 
Bring back infinite-use TMs and give players an actual reason to explore the new mechanics/features instead of forcing them to if they want a certain TM/TR.

Literally the only purpose for the auto-battle feature in SV is to farm the materials you need to make TMs, since you only get a fraction of the Exp from a normal battle and no EVs. Just stop bringing in tedious features like that and focus on something that people might actually enjoy.

I agree walking with pokemon should be in every game. I did enjoy a lot what they did in XY, when your friendship with a pokemon was the highest and it would give you advantages in battles. It made the relationships with your team more realistic imo

I didn't play any other games after usum, so I don't know how they are (I try to be as spoiler-free as I can until I play them jeje), but I just want to say I disliked a lot the rotom-dex. Annoying little thing, just stay quiet and let me be!
 
Walking with Pokemon should be a staple to the series!

I don't know why it's an on and off thing... :cautious:
Gosh, seriously! And I want it to be done well, AKA no Pokémon being too slow and having to teleport to you as you run, that ruins the immersion. I also want to be able to continue petting/washing/playing with my Pokémon. Basically, keep the fun interactive parts of the series!
 
Never remove:

-The ability to get egg moves without breeding.
-Held items that are consumed on use being restored after the battle (except Berries).

Never return:

-HMs.
-Trainers using the Bag during battle.
-The stupid gimmick of being forced to battle because you got into someone's line of sight. Regular trainer battles should stay optional as in SV.
 
I'm going to be the contrarian and say that I despise having my Pokemon following me. It always came across to me as them being disrespectful and disobedient.

But can they bring back the Vs. Seeker? It's simply the best way to level grind and earn money at the same time.
