Which past pokemon content would you like to see again in future games?

  • HGSS Pkmn following feature (it was well executed),
  • secret bases (as in Hoenn),
  • soaring,
  • trainer, Gym Leaders and E4 rematches with increasingly better teams,
  • GB Player for remakes,
  • Sevii Islands,
  • specific areas and lore for mythical/legendary Pkmn.
 
I'd love to see Super Training make a return in a mainline game if EVs don't go away. However, the best case scenario would be for EVs to go away and there be Grit items to boost your stats like in Legends Arceus, with, of course, a relatively easy way to get the Grit items.
 
I need Inverse Battles back. Sure, they're gimmicky and pretty easy to figure out, but they're such a mindf*** at first, and I find that fun. :wynaut:
 
Hugging the pwt Clinging onto the pwt's leg begging The pwt to not leave me again staring forlornly Out of the window Crying wishing for the Pwt to Come Back
being able to participate in a tournament with past champs/gym leaders is honestly just so damn cool. . . i'd love it if a new one could include all of the ones from every gen (ie update it with gens 6-9+ characters and maybe include the trial captains maybe in their own tournament or not idk also an e4 tournament would be awesome) but that's a pipe dream ahaha... :sadsola:
also the hgss method of following mon, the way swsh and especially scvi did it doesn't really do it for me. i did kinda like the walking/running models in the former but i wish they were a little more interactable; i don't think i like anything about the go mechanic in scvi :( aside from auto battles but as a following feature it's just... bad (and admittedly this is a bigger issue for me than it probably is for most people bc i very heavily prioritize forming bonds with all of my mon in the games so the more personal (for lack of a better term) i can get with them, the better, in my eyes).
on that note i also think the quality of the "one-on-one time with your party" features have been getting worse lately. gen 6 did an amazing job with the poke-amie; sm/usum improved upon it in some ways with the refresh but also kinda regressed in some ways imo... camping in swsh was a lot of fun and i'm glad that it gives one the option to spend time with multiple mon at once but i also feel that it took a bit of a step down. and picnics in scvi are just super unsatisfying to me unfortunately :<
would not complain about the pokeathlon coming back either :bulbaLol:
 
agreed with pokeathlon as mentioned earlier. i think so far, pokemon has done a fairly good job with minigames (shoutout to mantine surf in usum!), but there's something about pokemon doing silly competitions that really needs to make a comeback in modern games.
 
I love customization and the trainer cards in sword and shield were awesome. I want something like that again! Also secret bases were so good. I love decorating them like little homes and pretending my trainer lived out in the wild.

And I loved the pokeathlon. More things for my pokemon to do besides battling is always great.

I also wish we could still make pokeblocks or at least something with berries we could feed our pokemon. Like maybe make little muffins that combine/enhance the effects of the berries used. And as we progress the game we could use more berries in our recipes. And with special combinations, create treats that have special effects. Like letting us evolve our Feebas without freaking trade evolutions oh my god why did you do that gamefreak I will never have a Milotic.
 
Seconding the Pokeathlon, and the HGSS style Pokémon following. It was so cute and they would find little things and have little messages and reactions... The let's go feature in Scarlet/Violet was made kind of useless by most Pokémon literally not being able to keep up with the player character running and was a big disappointment to me because of that.

Bring back places that changed depending on the time of day like Shoal Cave in RSE! That was really fun.

I also loved the Pokémon Amie minigames.

Sos battles were also such a cool and unique feature!
