If this idea has already has a thread, my apologies, and feel free to delete it.

Anyway, I was wondering something. Over the gens we've had some interesting and useful little gizmos come into our hands. My question is this: What gadget(s) would you like to make a return in XY? Discuss.

For me, above all, the Vs. Seeker was always a fun and useful little gadget. It helped me raise weaker Pokemon more easily, got me extra earnings, and made it fun to re-challenge NPCs whenever I wanted. I would so love to have that little fun machine come back in XY.

Another one would probably be the Poke Radar. While I was lousy at it, I know how useful it is, so I wouldn't mind it returning. Probably by now I have the hang of it, so it would be a neat idea to have it back. It made hunting for things like rarer and/or shiny Mons easier (though it did require patience and practice, the latter of which I kept screwing up with), so I could welcome it back.
 
I was always a fan of the Poketech. It had pretty much all you needed as well as some pointless apps that were fun to use if you were bored. I would be ecstatic if something along those lines came back.

however, since the Pokemon-Amie feature looks to take the Happiness check away, as well as a few other things I doubt it would come back. But I can dream.

A VS Seaker would also be pretty cool to get back, so long as it takes a bit less time to charge up than it did in FRLG.
 
I'd definitely say the VS Seeker and the Pokeradar. Especially the Pokeradar, it was like my most reliable way of getting shinies.
 
Pokétch, please? It was and still is the best gadget to be introduced in any Pokémon game. Also, Vs Seeker.
 
Anything that lets you rematch trainers easily, really.

The biggest problem of BW was lacking that.
 
I'd like for them to bring back the "radio". But it would be nice if they would re-work it.
This time, the music from the radio can be played in the background meaning you can
have a different music playing while you are playing. It would be fantastic if there are
different "music stations" where it would play background music from other generations like
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, etc. And other music from other Pokemon spin off games like the Mystery Dungeon.
And a huge maybe, it can also play music from other Nintendo franchises like the Legend of Zelda.
 
ATM, I can only think of three that I want back:

Vs. Seeker, Vs. Seeker, and Vs. Seeker.

Seriously, who's bright idea was it to remove such an incredibly useful item? It was by far the most convenient rematch system ever created, and I was extremely disappointed that they removed it in 5th gen and made things less convenient. Seriously, this item needs to be standard in every game from now on. Furthermore, they should make it so it works in caves and buildings (particularly gyms).

Also, anything on par with the Poketch in terms of useful features is always welcome.
 
If roaming Pokémon return, they better bring back a touchscreen map feature so you can track the roaming Pokémon without having to rely on bulletin boards, area listing in the Pokédex, or whatever other method they could concoct. The Pokétch's marking map app was a godsend for this, and it was annoying that they just decided to remove it.
 
VS Seeker, and a feature that lets us know an egg was produced when we're not near the Day-Care. Like the Day-Care couple calling us, or the Poketch for that matter. I
 
I would crap my pants if the Pokeradar returned.


Sure it was hard to learn, but that was the point. It was super fun to learn how to chain to massively increase the chances of Shiny Patches appearing. Also, even BEFORE I got my first Gold 40, I saw many Shiny Patches. Hell, my first Shiny was from just accidentely walking into the patch above me, and that was the first Pokemon in that chain!
 
Seals. I want cool affects when my pokemon bursts out! Also, I want to be able to buy them, not have to get a couple random ones everyday from some little girl...
 
Definitely the VS Seeker. It was such a cool way to battle against some of the NPC again and it was a better way to give some Pokemon a bit more experience than battling against the Elite 4 or wild Pokemon. I wouldn't mind seeing the PokeRadar coming back either, especially if the process of using it to find shiny Pokemon was a bit easier.
