Not only the Exp Share, many other things that happened in this and in past gens. Infinite TMs, free legendaries
(Lati@s)

Ehh.. not best variation of this but guess it does the trick. Dem feels with that music. That movie was only good for getting Diancie though.
What the crapping hell at that interview? I gotta go read it in full now.. because... wow.

They already have something similar, tbh. Normal and Super challenges at the maison. Normal being the "haha, eat this you scrubs" and Super being the "friggin hax, this game sux".
Infinite TMs and fly-to-any-place are great changes that don't really do much to the difficulty; they just streamline the game.
Exp. Share is a fine idea that's placed way too early in the game.
Free legendaries... Yeah, those are just dumb. Part of the problem with focusing on legendaries for the story.
Oh yeah, they do.
However, I was thinking something a bit on the easier side. Give people of lower skill level the ability to enjoy the Frontier with handicaps of some kind.
Well that sucks...
Makes me worry about whether something like PWT will happen again.
If you used EXP Share during the main game, that's all on you. Though an option for the old EXP Share should exist in some form.
The only way to get a challenge from the main game as a Pokemon veteran is to limit yourself (though the gym leaders in ORAS were terrible).

Now, now, let's not berate them for amazing changes.

No, the question that this question refers to explains the new Exp Share:
Also, do keep in mind that they only had a year to make the game, and yes, this was confirmed in the interview that's in the official strategy guide. Their real reason for cutting the Battle Frontier was likely that they had limited time and resources and felt that not enough people would play through the Battle Frontier to make it worth it.

I guess what boggles my mind is they think they're catering to short term players? Talking about having smartphone games and all, and that somehow everyone limits their time to a single game to play mobile or something. I'd rather spend time with a game on my 3DS that has oomph to it than my phone for something piddly. Especially on a train ride. I just don't get their thinking.

I'm not going to say that I didn't like some of those changes, because I would be lying. But it did in fact make the game easier (I still remember grinding to get multiple Ice Beams / Thunderbolts / Flamethrowers)
To be quite honest with you, the only thing that could make normal mode easier is letting people use items, like give them 5 hyper potions and 5 full heals per match or something like that.

I mean if they said that, that would have been understandable.
Which would also explain why there's a bunch of things that feel 'lazy' in this game. (gym leaders rosters, move tutors being copy and pasted from b2/w2)

I guess that would explain why we never got leader rematches but even XY had that.

Battle Chateau was fucking amazing.
Anything to keep the Battle Frontier in the game.
Though by the sounds of it, this whole difficulty thing might just have been a bullshit excuse.

X/Y had gym leader rematches? Since when? And how have I missed this? D:
Yes please. I wouldn't mind seeing a different developers take on these games. I'm kind of tired of Gamefreak right now. So many lacking features
Move tutors are basically pasted going back at least as far as HGSS x.x
One of my biggest complaints about the move tutor system is that instead of doing a progressive system where they add a few move tutors every generation for lasting change, they just give us and take away the same ones each time a new game comes out.
Grinding =/= harder
What I don't get is that I thought they had 2 teams. I'm guessing the teams aren't large enough for 3D games.
Maintenance

A "remake" team and a "new game" team. I would be fine with that.
I think this wasn't an issue with 2D games; it only became an issue after the move to 3D. 4th and 5th gen have their share of issues, but they don't feel incomplete. Even Diamond and Pearl with their monstrous technical problems had plenty of content.

I'm surprised they didn't copy and pasted that into this game. Sure, make a new building or something and de-French it to fit in this non-French region.
Oh, I didn't know it went that far back. Makes all the talk about oh boy, can't wait to see what new move tutors will bring to help Pokemon even more silly.

I just imagined a Battle Chateau but with the looks of the new Elite Four, something like those old japanese castles.
Good, so I can stop dealing with fucking Rest.

Once you got a high enough ranking at the Chateau you can face the Kalos leaders + Diantha inside it.

Amen to this. I'd love to see it split between two devs. But more than that, I think we can do without a game every year. I understand they did the remakes to make it accessible for folks who never played them the first time, but feel like it's a bit much at this point. I mean technically, as has been pointed out here before, what's next? G/S because those remakes were on GBA and no longer accessible? It's going to be this long awful string where we keep moving to something new that is going to make them keep doing remakes. I'm not saying all remakes are bad, but I'd kind of like some new stuff.
Edit: Plus, I'd love for a dev to pick good parts about old games and actually make them standard. Communication tools for online, where art thou? Oh yeah, stuck in B/W gen because in X/Y they felt like we didn't need to have some form of communication with strangers we were trading with. Herp.

I don't mind the tutors stuff; makes the overall metagame more interesting.

Diamond and Pearl remakes will probably be just remakes of those games with no changes from Platinum and more cut content.

Yes. Beat the E4 again and he's on top of Sky Pillar.

Depends on how much time the devs get. Assuming those games are made, if they get just a year again then that should be expected. If they get a proper amount of development time though then they'll likely put in a lot of the Platinum stuff.Diamond and Pearl remakes will probably be just remakes of those games with no changes from Platinum and more cut content.

Funnily? I found the Scanner without even meaning too. I was looking for Lugia's mirage spot, and just came across it by chance. I didn't know you needed the Tidal Bell. XD

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
At this point I'm way more excited for stuff like Pokken and Detective Pikachu compared to the main games.
I like the Pokemon world, I like the characters, and I like the Pokemon---ORAS is pretty good so far at building a fun world to explore---but yeah, the actual game isn't as fun as it once was.

I did not expect how easily Lati@s comes into your possession.
Nor how long the damn cutscene is until you can actually check its stats :E

I was planning to beat the E4 over this weekend, but I managed to get a Protean Froakie through Wonder Trade! Since Greninja is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon I decided to level him as well for the finale.
Planning to start breeding him once I have the E4 down, so I will hopefully be able to share some Protean Froakie's with the rest of GAF soon.

Nearly done with the legendaries. Just have Groudon, Deoxys, and Giratina as ones I don't really care in terms of stats. Then there are the 3 Regis and Regigigas which won't be too important to get good IVs for.
Make sure to beat Steven's last Pokemon with Greninja.I was planning to beat the E4 over this weekend, but I managed to get a Protean Froakie through Wonder Trade! Since Greninja is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon I decided to level him as well for the finale.

Just KO it. After beating the Elite 4 again it'll be back to catch.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Possibly a dumb question, but several of the secret base trainers have mentioned something to do with magnemites and having multiple battles in a row.
Unfortunately, I've been mostly mashing A through their dialogue, is there an equivalent to the restaurants in X/Y, or is it just the one outside slateport?
