Why are people so upset with the removal of held items?
If anything, held items made Pokemon games even easier. You were granted HP Regen, 20% attack boosts, etc. entirely for free while 99% of the enemy trainers would completely ignore the mechanic altogether. They made the games even more braindead than they were already.
There's a little more room for creativity with them in competitive play, but even then 90% of item usage in competitive play boils down to giving everybody Leftovers and Life Orbs.
