>>30335757>S.O.S. battles cannot be controlled and replace Horde ModeThe fuck are you on? They make E.V. training so much more efficient and better than Hordes ever did and the Adrenaline Orbs allow this. I really miss the Super Training from Gen VI since it actually made my life easier than hunting hordes and all it needed was exploiting the touch screen, but Hordes were inefficient messes that didn't really help as much as people led on.
>Trials replacing gymsGyms were becoming too easy and stale ever since the upgrade to 3D. I understand that this is due to how the staff had to eliminate grid related puzzles, but as far as it's concerned, the Trials are little bit on the light hearted side and give depth to characters we would really know nothing about unless we had a fame checker like in FRLG or ran around like a retard and talked to EVERY NPC in game.
>Z-Crystals are just shitty mega evolutions that work for a move instead of a PokemonIt was for the best to lay off Mega Evolutions for a while. If there are any more, I'd say Froslass is deserving of one since it's counterpart, Glalie, received one as did Gallade which is Gardevoir's counterpart.
>HM's removed for le ride pager, because ....?? Literally because HMs require you to use an HM slave whom occupies a slot in your team. It was a great change for the better.
>Friend Safari replaced with Festival CancerIt was being exploited to the max and gave certain people an unfair advantage over others because RNG would dictate if you had a shitty Friend Safari or a Godsend Friend Safari.
>Gen 1 new forms are equally useless as original forms, some worse in the case of DiglettThis was mostly Gen 1 pandering while also attempting to stay away from Mega Evolutions for a while. I believe it was rather carried well for some mons more than others, but the same can be said about certain Mega Evolutions (i.e.; Garchomp who is superior to it's Mega Evolution).
