>>29253311>like the new secret bases, Delta episode, dexnav, new Pika forms for the contest only and being to be traded etcThe constests yes for the same reason as the Pokeathlon but the rest had their uses for exmaple recruited trainers had elements reminicient of join avenue so you could boost levels and hatch eggs faster and the dex nav allowed you to obtain mon with egg moves, hidden abilities and such relatively quickly. As for DE that's a story element and not gimmicky feature.
>But of course, it all depends about what you call "useless". Just to clarify useless to me is anything that is either outclassed by another feature in what it can give the player or it gives the player no benefits and works solely as a sort of eye candy element.
So for example, the Pokewalker is useless because the pokemon that aren't native to the game as well as ones that are rare within the game are unlocked fairly late to the point where you could find them in game by the time you unlock their respective course.
>You can't trade the new megas in XY or the contest pikas for example.Not even remotely the same thing.
They outright didn't exist in X and Y so nothing was blocked, meanwhile cross gens existed in FR/LG yet you couldn't obtain any of them until you finished the game and caught at least 60 pokemon.
And for HG/SS, location based evos such as Glaceon and friends were available in DPPt yet despite quite a few suitable locations being in the regions the feature was seemingly left out forcing you to trade to obtain these mon. And now with the Wifi out you need to obtain a copy of one of the Sinnoh games if you want to use them.
And then there's Giratina mess. Though it does get props for making Shaymin and Rotom's forms obtainable in game.
>I'm not sure why you seem pissed that there are people who don't like XY and ORAS. It's not so much that I'm pissed as much as it's extremely boring seeing the same rehashed points for why these games are supposedly good.
