The joke that is the Safari Zone now hurt a lot, even if the original safari system had an awful lot of room for improvement.
The new Sky Pillar makes for a nice cinematic but it was better as a bike puzzle. I understand that the new mechanics and new camera (so much for an upgrade) make a direct translation very difficult but any form of environmental minigame would have been better than a long cutscene.
The casino was removed for well known and reasonable motives, but nothing was put in its place. Any kind of minigame that earns you points was the minimum to expect, it doesn't even have to be a fraction as complex or involving as Pokeathlon. But there was nothing.
There's of course Battle Frontier but I guess we can leave that one aside this time.
The other things I can remember right now, like route 113's ashes or Trick House's two lacking puzzles, are pretty minor so I guess I'll leave it at that for now.
If I look back to FRLG and HGSS, all the lacking elements that I can think of are very minor: pikachu following you, Kris, voltorb flip being so awful and rematchable ship passengers.
