>Game console has built in functionality to scan cards as seen by Animal Crossing
>GameFreak doesn't do anything like this again even though every player would have the means to scan these cards
Post other completely missed opportunities that GameFreak could have re-implemented in future generations.

This really should have been the real way to get shiny legendaries in CT instead of insane odds shinies

Just let us make our own rules in game that get enforced already.

I really thought that this was how they were going to distribute legendaries in CT. Just have certain raids where rarely you would have legendaries akin to GMax Pokemon normally.

Speaking of other left out things from DLC (while it doesn't really count as another generation), why no Rotom Rally courses in IoA or CT?

Kind of coincidental if there's a video on the eReader by them. I was going through my own eReader cards a few minutes before making the thread and wondered why they didn't do those things again.

They just did a Ruby and Sapphire did you know video and half of it was about these cards and the battle towers they could make.

I didn't know about the Tower stuff in RS, I mainly remember the Old Man's house in Mossdeep. The only card I ever had in the entire set for some reason (I think I got it in a magazine as a sampler) was one against a lady with Plusle or Minun. I thought that it was such a cool feature and I was really upset when I got older and realized there were actually a bunch of these cards released and the functionality literally was patched out from the later games. A few months ago I was able to do this method I found on YouTube to make my own Eon Ticket, but I didn't bother with any of the battle cards since there were so many.
But yeah I have no idea why GF doesn't see that as something to viably bring back since the issue according to them was that no one owned an eReader.

You would think something dumb like that would have been something GameFreak would have loved to throw in as a one-time gimmick

Dream Radar dickhead. Why bother with AR cards, when they charged people $3 a pop for it.

I never played Kid Icarus Uprising but I know that the 3DS AR was largely unutilized. Even for the photo shoot in alola, AR could have been used.

Holy fuck I completely forgot about the 3DS AR cards
They advertised it so much back then and then it was pretty much just Kid Icarus that actually used it

I hate the way the implemented trainer stars in SWSH, they used to be challenging to get but now you can just get them with little effort.

Don't give me the same bullshit GF had for reasons to not transfer forward old mons. They have enough pull with Nintendo it was always a possibility if they demanded it.
