>>28214836The first one is the only real point there and that was mechanical change that didn't really change much of the outer game.
Second one has been a thing since gen 2.
Third was gen 3. Except for the part where all lore was actually relevant to a pokemon and not just meaningless filler.
That was 2 and a bit of 3 given you could call up leaders via match call. Then there's the fame checker in FRLG.
That was gen 3 as it introduced a variety of biomes, the only thing different in 4 was the abundance of snow in all honesty which was more of a detriment if anything given that extremely tedious snow route.
And the last is purely your opinion, especially since jazz and "comfy atmospheres" don't particularly mesh with a sense of adventure
