>>28331323>Multi-region(And it never came back).Gimmick. It didn't add to the game. In fact I would say it's one of the main reasons why gen 2 felt so short.
>Retrocompatibility.Hardware issues. In other words an acceptable loss.
>Day and night cycle.Graphically, remember that the game still had time based events and that RSE were the only games that Umbreon and Espeon could be evolved in using the conventional methods.
>The ability to access every area in the game without events.Okay so how does that count as a removal? Especially since Gen 2 did something similar with the GS ball and removing features for the western release of Crystal. By that logic retro compatibility can't be on there either.
>Pokegear phone and the ability to rematch.So what you're saying is that you didn't play gen 3. Because not only was there a rematch system in RS but Emerald brought back the calls and was the first game to have gym leader rematches
>>28331380 Don't lie now you've made a huge contradiction already.
>Story continuity.It didn't exactly retcon anything anon so how is that a removal?
>Comfyness.Fuck off. "Comfyness" is entirely subjective for example one could say that the wilderness, exploration and lore of Hoenn was considerably more "comfy" than Johto, especially since you could camp out in secret bases along the way. See?
>Ever since gen III it's been save the world from the cover legendary every time.Yes and?
Pokemon that can do incredible things have been an element since gen 1. Instead of making the villain a generic saturday morning villain with a Dr. Claw mentality why not have them, you know, utilize the monsters the game has been named after?
I'll give you that Gen 4 did jump the shark a bit on that front however but later gens toned it down.
Anyway basically the only thing that was removed was retrocompatibility due to hardware issues between the GBA and GB/C
