    How they handled the transition to 3D. It's not that 3D was inherently bad, but a lot of Pokemon were absolutely destroyed when it came to their models. Quagsire, Hippowdon, and Typhlosion are a few of many examples, but the worst one has to be Marshtomp. He lost all his joy :(

    Not making a Pokken Sequel

    Removed a LOT of competitive items and moves in Champions. No Toxic or Flame Orbs makes some sets like Guts or Marvel Scale Pokémon nearly impossible to pull off, and the lack of Power-Up Punch (despite being in ZA??) nerfs big returning names like Mega Kangaskhan, who kinda thrived on that move in previous games.
