>>54957583>UndergroundNo traps, statues clutter your drops, worse secret base customization. How is it better? Because it has Pokemon to find? Most of which were included in the Platinum dex in the actual region itself.
>battle towerPlatinum has the BF
>League rematchesIt has more and better sets but also cuts the Barry rematches. The forced affection mechanics also make what could have been an otherwise challenging experience significantly easier.
>StickersLiterally the same
>contestsNo thought put into them, no skill, just a cutscene
>amity squareLiterally a useless feature even in the original. Following Pokémon are badly implemented in the game as a whole with improper scaling and them not keeping up
>trainer customizationDoesn't make the whole game, and it's very limited customization. The Platinum outfits are also preorder bonuses no longer available.
>No HMsOnly legitimate improvement.
>Ramanas ParkThe legendaries used to actually be inserted into dungeons and stories in the older games instead of being shoved into a soulless postgame area like Ramanas Park or Dynamax Adventures or insert SV gimmick here. Shut the fuck up.
>Infinite TMsBad game design. TMs should be limited to give the player challenge in resource management. SWSH perfected TMs with the TR/TM system and SV's also isn't bad since you can craft TMs progressively easier as you advance through the game. Going back to the black and white infinite TM system is a downgrade.
Where's the Frontier? Distortion World? Improved dex distribution? Improved level curve by shifting the gym order? Improved aesthetic changes giving Sinnoh more personality?
>Modern QoLYet they can't even be bothered to include modern Pokemon. You can't pick and choose what to include.
I'm glad BDSP hacks exist because ignoring the Plat improvements when they made BDSP is a complete slap in the face to fans.
