All this, plus contests were fun back in the day. The rematcher. Not sure if the E4 and gym leaders have stronger rematches, if not then those.

Also world design, beginning of the story not feeling like a drag, and a rival like Gary or Silver.

Infinite TMs being removed just doesn't make sense. Like whatever issues one might have with Game Freak it's clear they have been actively moving to making the games more obtuse mechanics more accessible. So it was easier for players to craft high-end movesets. Infinite TMs was one of the first steps toward this. Since TM access was the most limiting aspect of creating a strong team. Even more so than EVs and IVs. Making them limited again is just anti-player and yet another indication that Game Freak has no idea what they are doing.

Besides the TM thing though, replacing the near-perfect PSS with the Festival Plaza was mind-bogglingly stupid. I don't know how anyone, much less entire teams of people to sign off on that.

Limited TMs in this game is clearly them trying to pad out the exploration by forcing you to seek specific pokemon and mass slaughter them for bones and sinew to craft new moves. At least the Lets Go mode makes farming quick lol

Having all the Pokemon available, it's sad that we're at the point where the Switch games have both less content and shittier performance than a lot of the DS/3DS games lmao.

When did they git rid of infinite TMs and rematching the Elite Four?

Definitely reusable TMs. They backpedaled on that shit just so they could give you more shit to grind for.

Was going to say mega evolutions since I liked them more than Z-moves + dynamax (no opinion on terastalizing as I haven't touched the gen 9 games yet), but yeah it would have to be infinite TMs. I know crafting is apparently a way to get them again in the gen 9 games (and in SwSh you had infinite TMs with TRs being farmable through Raid Dens), but I would much rather they just be infinite use again. There's already enough grinding involved with leveling Pokemon, EV training, and breeding to get the IVs you want. There doesn't really need to be yet another thing you need to grind for.

Good game design.
seriously tho its this

cant believe so many people itt have latched onto silly QOL things when the games havent had any discernible level design for several gens now

no dungeons, no caves, no puzzles, routes just straight lines (obviously not a thing in SV, but the open world is just an easy excuse to once again not design any meaningful areas to explore)
