your most missed feature

More modes ala Battle Frontier and the World Tournament rank highly, certainly. Maybe the most, because that's extra content that's fun.

Other ones that come to mind are the follow-me feature, the Underground and PokeRadar chaining ala gen 4 (not 6) mechanics, and the entralink missions (again, how gen 5 did it was better than gen 7's attempt at festival plaza missions).
 
Contests, Secret Bases and the Underground. And, you know what? I kinda miss roaming legendaries too. Catching up to it, getting it to low health and paralysing it so that it's easier to catch, all that in several battles, and then trapping it with Wobbuffet and barraging it with your best Pokéballs until you get it - that was actually quite exciting.
 
I just want my Pokémon to follow me again.. ('A`)
 
Roaming Legendaries for sure, adds such a fun element especially if their encounters chances begin early game. Would love to see this feature repeated and developed on.

Also randomly, Bug Catching contests O.o
 
Much as I love the Battle Frontier and Pokemon World Tournament, I miss the PSS system from Gen VI. When you compare it to Gen VII and VIII's miserable attempts at online connectivity, it's painful. The PSS was simple and easy to use, didn't require any excessive button mashing or jumping through hoops to do what you wanted, and it utilised the 3DS' bottom screen perfectly. It was a natural evolution of Gen IV and V's online functionality and it worked SO WELL.

Fast-forward to SnS' clunky, gimmicky and just plain BAD online that is somehow worse than Gen VII's terrible online and I miss the days of Gen VI.
 
Trainer rematches. The champion cup doesn't count. I want to be able to rebattle trainers in routes again. It's annoying they took that away after gen IV and have never bothered to reimplament outside of a remake (OR/AS in this case). Bring this back.
 
Following pokemon easily, such a little thing that adds so much more personality to the game for me. Not to mention how adorable some of those sprites are
LGPES implementation was neat and it's disappointing they neglected to bring it back for swoosh
 
Yeah, Trainer Rematches in ORAS were the easiest and possibly only legitimately unstrenuous way of actually evolving and building teams post game besides E4 over and over and over and over again. Am I the only one who has never done that???
 
1. i'd normally say the pokemon following the trainer feature but it was brought back in swsh, and although it's not as great as it was in HGSS, i'll take whatever i can get.

2. diving. a criminally underrated feature that Game Freak could've expanded so much more on in later generations. it has so much potential to be more and i still hold a super tiny amount of hope that maybe it'll be back one day. keyword being tiny here, it is Game Freak we're talking about, after all.

3. PSS. SwSh's online is painful and while i could deal with festival plaza for the most part, the y-comm is really making me miss pokemon's more intuitive and more player-friendly online days.

4. kinda miss mega evolutions tbh. still think there are some pokemon that deserved megas that didn't get them. also feel rather annoyed that pokemon like mawile are going to see little use again, unfortunately.
 
Yeah seeing as following Pokemon has been kinda brought back recently I'll probably have to go with the Battle Frontier (I guess you could call that a feature?). I spent so many hours there and it was a great extra challenge in the post-game. Other than that I'd have to agree with everyone and say the PSS. Imo it's the best online system we've had in the Pokemon games, and like with many other features, the series has somehow gone backwards from it *sigh*
 
The popular ones, like Megas, PWT, full Pokedex, following (but the way HGSS did it where your follower wasn't the slowest thing in the world that had to teleport to you constantly.), PSS, but my unpopular opinion is Z-Moves. I loved how flashy and cool they seemed, and even though the animations were kinda weird, I enjoyed ending battles with a bang.
 
PSS is probably the biggest one I miss. It was so easy to use compared to what we got in SM and especially LGPE.

Megas, but I think those will eventually come back.

I honestly kinda miss the Battle Subway. For some reason, I had the most fun and Battle Facilities in BW. And it be nice if they actually gave us a reason to do them. Like with White Forest and Black City in BW2, if you got to the last room and defeated Benga, you got a Shiny Pokemon. And I just had fun in the Subway. It was the first Battle Facility I actually finished.
 
I really want to see Pokemon Amie again, I loved being able to pet all my different Pokemon!! I also miss being able to 'watch' TV, like when you interacted with a TV and you'd get to read the dialogue from whatever was playing. They're both pretty minor things, but I really liked them!!
