I'm making a sister thread here. So there were many good stuff that were introduced in the past games, only to be removed by later installments. Here, we shall discuss stuff/items/characters/concepts that we wish were here to stay, but were removed, haven't returned yet, and being sorely missed. So what would you like to return in future installments?
Without further ado, here are my stuff:
1) Visits to a previous region
Because in the case of GSC, it made so much sense. It was an alternative way of showing how the real-life Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo are actually reliant on each other in this modern day and age. I've always seen the higher level of the real-life setting as Pokémon's speciality within the Nintendo franchises, so actually making Kanto accessible really made sense, and this should have been continued in RSE and DPPt as well - even if it is just a tiny fragment (say 1-2 cities and 1-2 Trainer Routes?) of a previously featured region after being Champion. (This isn't as essential with the two non-Poke-Japanese generations (BW and XY), but it would still be a bonus.)
2) Past PCs appearing as NPC
Only Red has done this so far, and I'm a bit over for him, to be honest. I want to know what other former PC characters are up to. Especially, I don't know why Hilda and Hilbert never appeared in BW2, with speaking roles when they already had that role anyway as Battle Subway Partners in BW1, and when Unova Link existed to carry over BW1's data in the first place. If there is no Unova Link, then we could give them default personalities, and randomised Pokemon they have that are affected by Nate/Rosa's decisions made in BW2. (Whether its Black 2 or White 2, whether you're playing as Nate/Rosa, which starter you've chosen etc. For example, have Leaf battle Lyra in HGSS, or Hilda battle Rosa in the PWT of BW2.)
So, what are everyone's thoughts?
