>>45794101>>triple/inverse/sky/rotation battlesReplaced by raid battles, which are actually played until like any of these shitty gimmicks.
>>mythical eventsStill exist, they're just put in the game without needing to download a retarded ticket first.
>>second regionNot necessary if the region is big enough.
>>seasonsPointless garbage that adds nothing to the game. Having to wait months just to backtrack to a route to grab a single mediocre item isn't fun. The daily weather changes in the Wild Area is effectively the same thing but less obnoxious.
>>contestsPointless filler.
>>secret basesPointless filler. Also replaced by camp.
>>hard modeStill exists. Play online.
>>battle frontierReplaced by Restricted Sparring and Dynamax Adventure.
>>ball sealsPointless filler. Also replaced by the game having every Poke Ball available.
>>safari zonePointless because of the Wild Area and raids.
>>soaringPointless filler.
>>PSSThe Y-Comm does the same thing but better.
>>riding pokemonNot necessary because of the bike.
>>shiny overworld pokemonDone so you can't find shinies extremely easily simply by despawning dozens of Pokemon repeatedly.
>>following pokemonStill exists.
>>national dexPointless filler.
