>>28763062You say a player character doesn't count. You can't just plug year ears because you liked the game.
So if you shorten this list down its really
Battle Frontier/Scott while are inclusive, and many anons have agreed the battle frontier wasn't fun. Instead you should fault them for not adding something better, but then again the maison has triple/rotation battles so thats already a major improvement over the battle tower they are based off of. Artisian Cave wars part of this, and congrats on the large empty space with only Smeargle.
The Trick House puzzles are a grave loss, yes.
The Game Corner was also cut from HG/SS international, which to people here matters very much because not all Japanese.
The safari game was a means to an end to catch pokemon. The area, and the pokemon within, are still contained complete with bike puzzles.
Making Mr. Pyre smaller isn't a horrible thing, mostly because the trainers within amounted to the same things. You can literally never notice this.
Sky Pillars bike sections were not present the first time you visit in Emerald to Summon Rayquaza. They just took notes from that, and once again they were a mild inconvenience at best rather than a real "puzzle"
Juan was mentioned, but ultimate just a reskin of Wallace. He added little to the plot, and you may as well argue Wallace as champion as cut content.
Battle tends have been condensed into Mauville city, if I recall. Battle something or other.
Mirage Tower was a forgetful sidequest that I'm having a hard time remembering. It hurt nothing to remove it. Arguing this against an entire player character is kinda silly.
I suppose I can give you gym leader rematches, but they were essentially glorified NPC matches anyway. I have never gotten the hype behind them but I can see why some people do.
The trainers were not removed, still battled, and this could be seen as a bonus who hate having doubles shoved in their faces.
Some of this content is also Emerald only, not R/S.
