Most forgotten feature?
The mobile station shit in crystal
>tfw you could print out pokedex entries in gen 2
Wifi Plaza
>>27148666
Man, I miss that.
>>27148666
Did anyone even use that?
>>27148577
>handholding bullshit that started in gen 3 remakes
>forgotten
Good.
>>27148701
It was the tits. They even had a special goodbye message for when the servers were shutting down.
>>27148717
If it's optional it's not handholding anon.
>>27148717
>hand holding
It was completely optional and told the same exact shit the pokemon schools did.
>>27148577
Clicking R or L and clicking a move to get sent to its info page. I don't remember which games had this, but it's a feature that's existed long before SM. I think I found out by reading a Trainer Tips sign (also forgotten).
>>27148666
This is the correct answer, or at least with regards to the last three generations.
Even I forgot about it, and I spent a shitload of time there. I miss it now. Thanks.
>>27148797
>forced "how to use the controls" intro
How is this not handholding?
>>27148856
It was FRLG.
>>27148890
do you even know what the teachy tv is?
>>27148666
What was it satan ?
Platinum was literally my first game since Gold, so I didn't put much time into it before moving to heartgold. I literally don't know what it even is.
>>27148960
It was an online minigame thing not too different from the Xtransceiver minigames.
>>27148917
I never used some useless feature because FRLG wasn't babby's first game, so no, I don't know what it is or why it took up extra data.
>>27148994
>I don't know what it is
>How is that no X?
>>27148994
>dont know what it is
>assumes shit anyway
Really?
>>27148994
>i never used
>i never seen it
>its forced
??????
>>27148994
dumbass
>>27148994
So you never used the forced "how to use the controls" intro? Because it really doesn't sound all that forced if that's the case.
I'm glad it's gone.
>>27148994
Gen Z everyone
>>27148994
>Forced
>Never Seen the "forced intro"
anon that's not how it works
Underground in DPPt
>>27149089
yeah, Dream World was garbage
>>27149136
>Underground in DPPt
No one liked this shit, especially since it fucked up secret bases.
>>27149058
When you start the game before you name your character, you are given a rundown of the controls and what buttons do, so yes, that is forced. At least in DPPt you can skip this.
I never used Teachy TV or whatever the fuck that is, which is completely different. You're confused.
>>27148613
The what?
>>27149219
>When you start the game before you name your character, you are given a rundown of the controls and what buttons do
But we're talking about Teachy TV why you changing the topic?
>>27149219
But that's not even what were talking about
>>27149538
>talking about handholding
>FRLG was the beginning of handholding with shit like Teachy TV, "how to open your bag"
How are the intro control explanations not relevant to the topic?
Vs seeker
>>27149652
"Its not handholding if its optional"
>>27148701
I absolutely loved it. I honestly thought it was the best thing when I was still a teenager.
>>27149652
Better question is why did you think they were relevant in a conversation about the Teachy TV.
>>27148666
I loved this place
>>27148577
>>27149684
Vs seeker is popular what are you talking about
One real answer here is the Mobile Station in pokemon crystal, almost nobody outside japan utilized it. Even then , the feature kinda bombed in japan
>>27149724
>3 player only
>need 3 of those stupid wireless shits that weren't included in later versions of the game
I never got to play that
>>27148701
It was great. I don't think I ever got the Mew room.
>>27149089
I-I liked it...
>>27149724
I believe there was also a game where you have to skip over Venusaur's tendrils.
>>27148577
Unity Tower
>tfw never managed to get all the countries
>>27148666
I liked the footprint stamp game
nice devilish trips btw
>>27149765
It's forgettable because gamefreak forgot it existed.
>>27149817
Pretty much everyone did.
>>27149908
>gamefreak forgot it existed.
Its in almost every game after it was feature
>>27149847
Now THAT'S a good one. This has to be one of the most forgotten features.
>>27149162
Underground was fun. I liked to excavate fossils.
>>27149935
It's only in FRLG and the Sinnoh games
I never ever see anyone talking about this.
I loved seals so much, can't wait to see what they do with them in DP remakes.
Fame checker? Though it could be potentially nifty
>>27150035
those were cool
>>27150035
That's because it was stupid and you had to remove them whenever you needed to deposit a Pokemon.
>>27150034
The ability to rematch trainer is in most games
So the vs. seeker concept wasnt forgotten but only changed names
>>27150035
Seals were a fun concept on paper but they were practically a terror to use
>>27150035
They will probably leave them out because they don't want you to write bad words.
Well they might just remove the letters.
>>27149106
You mean Gen Y you millenial fuck
>>27150076
>The ability to rematch trainer is in most games
You do realise that's not something that started with the Vs Seeker right?
Rematches have been a thing since gen 2, even RS had them.
>So the vs. seeker concept wasnt forgotten but only changed names
The concept of the Vs. Seeker is gone, the concept of rematches isn't. Get it right.
>>27149089
Honestly i would rather have that than to pray that the random people i found for friend safari's has a pokemon i actually want
>>27149652
> teaches you how to open your bag
>it's a item
Seriously?
>>27148577
I miss getting phonecalls about rattatas and mareeps and other bullshit.
>>27149847
>>27149956
>implying anybody in whateveristan has a ds
This shit right here. Playing this with my lil bro was incredibly fun.
Barely noticeable gender differences.
>>27150723
Are there even any Pokemon post-gen IV with subtle gender differences. (AKA: Not assfuckingly obvious like Unfezant and Jellicent)
>>27149089
>That fucking repetitive music
It still haunts me to this day.
>>27150769
No, they dropped it
>>27150259
Of all the shit ORAS did wrong, at the very least they got hidden abilities right.
>>27149162
It's literally the only redeeming thing in sinnoh
>>27150769
Pikachus still have the tail thing, I think.
>>27150971
Pikachu isn't a post gen 4 pokemon.
>>27150769
Female Girafarigs have a yellow spot on their side
Female Scythers/Scizors have smaller abdomens
>>27151005
Oh, that's what he/you meant. I don't think so. Never paid much mind to that.
>>27148666
>mfw going to the public library in 8th grade and using the wi-fi to play this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JWretABYKE
>>27150120
I hope they include the letters and seals and completely fuck up realizing you can spell words
Fucking making SPIKE and PINE banned names...
>>27150715
but thats not a forgotten feature, anon
Did anyone even use these?
>>27151099
probably just people that wanted to call their friends gay or something
>>27151016
>post-gen IV
>>27149089
DW hack best thing about Gen V.
>>27148666
>tfw bought Platinum day one but never used this feature
>tfw now it's sure I will never ever use this feature
>>27149089
I remember playing that everyday, trying to get more points so I could find better Pokemon. Friended lots of random Japs with nice houses/big gardens to waterI miss it
>>27150259
>tfw all 3 of my friend list Flying type safari's have Pidgey

Related to that, the entralink
I wonder how many people know about how you get to run round as a jigglypuff hunting down trainers
>>27150035
>>27149089
>>27148666
Apparently I liked all the unpopular things
>>27148666
Seriously what the fuck was that, I played gen 4 games for years and don't remember that
>>27151458
I didn't realise you could have nostalgia and annoyance simultaneously
>>27151544
>The guy who got himself stuck in there
>The guy who woke in there one day as a girl
Gen 5 lore is helluva drug
>>27151670
I probably wont know because i never accessed wifi back then playing 1000 hours of Diamond/HG
>>27148666
This place was fucking awesome. I didn't actually try it out until I found out the servers would be shutting eventually but it was really great.
>>27151458
I thought it was relaxing
Then again I never played the dream world with volume and only heard it in the game sync menu on the DS
I have never seen anyone mention the Feeling Check online ever

Ereader
>>27151841
What the fuck is that?
I only played Plat / HGSS / BW /B2W2 on emulators so all of those online features are completely foreign to me.
>>27151879
I think it's actually infrared. You can probably do it with yourself if you have 2 ds's and two gen 5 games.
>>27151841
Where's the 4koma where was doing that by herself
>>27151879
It was a local wireless thing in gen 5
After doing it you got little chocolate hearts that worked like potions
>>27151841
/thread
I really liked it.
>>27151155
Which is what got them removed in the first place.
>>27152126
It was pointless once you caught everything that mattered like the legendaries and the small heap of hidden ability mons
It's the only companion app i don't still own unlike Bank or Dex 3D
>>27149089
Uuhlg... yeah, that thing was a fucking mess.
>>27152175
>>27148577
The FRLG mini games that you could never play because you needed specific pokemon and friends.
>>27152197
cool meme dude
>>27150723
Wish they still did these, they were always kinda fun and intriguing to find.
Nowadays, gender differences are always extremely obvious and it's kinda just Nidoran all over again.
Berry crushing
>>27149089
It was shit, but I have fond memories of sharing an account with my housemates at university so we could get everything together.
>>27152197
Bad habits, anon. Bad habits.
>>27152232
Sounds familiar, but I can't remember where it's from or what it does.
>>27149956
I don't remember this at all, and I went to worlds twice in Gen 5 so I probably would have a bunch of hits from that.
>>27152309
It was in Slateport Market in Emerald and possibly somewhere in FRLG. I couldn't tell you what it does because it required the wireless adapter and no one had that.
>>27150622
In one of the newer games the mom character asks you if you know how to open your bag.
>>27152315
It only activates through GTS trades.
>>27149089
>Despite pretty much being the face of this along with the Munna, Fennel got shit for art
It's not fair man
>>27149847
This. I fucking loved Unity Tower. Nearly had all the countries too, but then Gen 5 wifi got killed.
>>27148577
Poffins.
>>27151458
I liked it
:(
>>27152309
>>27152333
You crushed berries into medicine for your mons
>>27152380

>this handholding shit
>optional
>>27152471
Anon that isn't the teachy TV
>>27152490
I know that.
But it wasn't optional, and it was the beginning of handholding for the games.
>accidentally pressing L or R
holy FUCK
>>27152471
>controls
>handholding
kys
>>27152516
>any event that discloses information is handholding
I guess kota telling you that TM 18 is toxic is handholding
>>27151841
I didn't even know this was a thing. Seems pretty useless.
>>27152528
>not letting players figure out the controls themselves like previous games
It's shit.
>>27152417
fuck off
>>27152559
>figure out the controls themselves
That's what the instruction booklet was for
>>27152590
It's in the manual and yet they shoehorn it into the first second of the game.
>>27152559
Oh no! The game is forever ruined because it told you what the controls are for people not familiar with Role Playing games. Why are you making a fuss over it?
>some 1-2 second makes something handholdy
Nigger please like you never seen pokestar studios
>>27152658
Sorry FRLG wasn't my first game ever like some of you defending this tripe.
>minigames were fun
>encouranged you to go out and do things, or just reward you for remembering to take it with you
>massively increased the variety of pokemon you could use for your team
>wasn't shoved down your throat like most other shoehorned features
>was just generally fun as fuck
>nobody cared about it and it never came back
It's legitimately the feature that I want to see supported the most in future games. I have no idea why nobody else liked it.
>>27150145
>Being proud of being part of Generation Yner
>>27152703
Hopefully GO has some connectivity with SM like the Pokewalker.
>>27152677
>pokestar studios
FUCK
THAT NIGHTMARE
>YOU HAVE TO MAKE A MOVIE TO PROGRESS BECAUSE FUCK YOU AND YOUR JOURNEY
>>27152703
Maybe because you needed to walk an ungodly amount of kilometer to even get something noteworthy
>>27152469
I think he's referring to how the Battle Frontier was cut of of the remakes because Masuda thought it was "too hard". More disappointing than forgotten, though.
By disappointing, I mean the fact that it's not there. I could never conquer it in Emerald, and I was hoping that I'd get a chance to redeem myself. But that day will never come now.
>>27152690
Well, Fire Red/Leaf Green were intended for people not familiar with games in general. I don't see what's wrong with explaining what works and how you progress, it's not like you need it, and the only times it intervenes is in the beginning battling your rival. Granted, it seems trivial to most people that have been playing since they were younger, but why shut out those who aren't familiar but like to try?
>>27150035
I loved this
I always secretly hope it comes back
>>27149089
Nigga, they gave you an Arceus for free. Dream World was the shit.
>>27149515
You just proved their point, Anon. Anyway, you could connect your Game Boy Color to a mobile phone. It was Japan-only.
>>27149515
Mobile station is a building in golden rod where you can connect you GB to a japanese phone
Through that phone you can connect to other people and do trades, battles and mystery gifts. Basically the prototype for the pokemon global wifi
It kinda failed there
>>27152309
>>27152333
You turned your berries into berry powder, which could be redeemed for items. Unfortunately the items you could get were just herbal medicine, and they cost too much powder for it to be anything more than a complete waste of time and items.
>>27152728
Doing certain things in recording ends up creating a completely different ending
>It also gave your mon star status
>>27152516
>Accidentally pressing L or R
Anon just fucking press B
The berry master
