>>48244933>Calling gyms a different name and not giving them any unique assets is not innovative.It is when you take a look at how stale XY was. Also trials were not just gyms with a different name, totems battles themselves mog pretty much any gym battle in XY.
>You either need to play XY again or play DP/Pt again.DPPt are my favourite games. The similarity between Team Flare and Galactic couldn't be more obvious if it wanted to.
>The National DexAlready stated how the national Dex is in the game in all but name.
>Ability to fish anywhere or use your bike without a clown suitTrivial non issue since fishing in specific areas also has some positive upsides like rare items and easier encounter rates
>Triples and Rotation BattlesDue to the game lagging. Not an issue
>Secret Bases>ContestsThese were not present in XY either, if you want to get autistic
>DexNavFair enough, but it's not like XY didn't removed stuff from BW either
>Amie MinigamesReplaced by actually being able to interact with your pokemon instead of playing a shotty mini game. Non issue
>Super Training Minigames and Reset Bags>Battle backgrounds that react to the moves you use and reward you for using specific ones with items like berries>Berry hybrid and mulch mechanicsDisappointing, but not a massive loss. Every generation has features removed like this
>Hordes (still the fastest method of EV training we've ever gotten)Replaced with SOS method which makes up for the loss of Hordes by being the best way to shiny hunt
>Actual dungeonsWhich Alola still has, albeit less
>Branching routes that don't lead to arbitrary dead endsSame as above
