A Feature I Think Is A Must For Wi/Wa
Well...2 features lol
I've been replaying Shield, PLA, Violet, and ZA because I realized the original names that were set up were not the name I usually use for gaming profiles (petty reason I know)
That being said, I've gotten into the habit of organizing my boxes by their in-game pokedex number. This takes a lot more time than usual and serves no extra gameplay purposes...it's actually a detriment because I'll spend extra time searching for my most used pokemon instead of having a dedicated page or 2 just for them.
The first feature I think is long, LONG overdue is an auto sort feature for our boxes. You can sort your inventory and the pokedex itself to be a number of different sorting methods, but you can not do the same with your boxes.
The other feature I think is also long overdue is the ability to put conversations on auto-forward. I would rather have a full on "skip conversation" option, but auto-forward would fit pokemon better. Pairing with this, we need faster in-combat notifications and dialogue boxes. Battles can drag and drag and draaaaaag thanks to every move needing to be called out and every status effect needing a reminder blurb that your pokemon is indeed effected by a status. Removing status condition blurbs altogether and having animations that can easily be used to identify when a status effect is...in effect would speed combat up so much. I think it may be a bit much to say that every move also needs unique animations instead of callouts as it's been a staple of pokemon since day 1, but something in-between would be nice.
I wanted to share these opinions and wishes of mine because I think it's easy for us to get lost in the hype of all the new new that's on the way. We need to hold GF to a higher standard other than graphical performance. Even as much as current games have streamlined a lot of staple features, I still see glaring issues that I feel should've been addressed with Sw/Sh.
Anyways, thanks for reading if you did. Let's have level headed discussions?
