>>27444083A bunch of areas were, but I'm talking about features. RS could have easily kept a day/night cycle, for example/
It's also my belief RS could've kept backwards compatibility even with the stat overhaul. The GBA has the capability to execute programs from RAM to a limited extent. This is how the trading in the Gamecube games works, and for non-Pokemon examples there's the Sonic Adventure ports and LoZ Four Swords Adventure.
They could've made a program to send with a link cable, which they did do for the Berry Glitch Fix, that would transfer mons, even if it had to be one at a time and at the pace of saving a lot of data, at least they could hav e tried.
