No, some things are just objectively "not the best," and I'm being kind. This is not the style fans had in mind even for the 3DS.(The overworld is more subjective.)

How about the fossils? If I'm not mistaken, in Pokemon Pearl you only could get an armor fossil (Shieldon). In Platinum you can get both (skull and armor) in the same game. Would be nice to get both in the same game. There's some info about exclusive pokemon?
; (The official site says that the Fossils follow the same exclusivity pattern as the originals - Cranidos for Brilliant Diamond, Shieldon for Shining Pearl.
That paragraph could have been worded better by starting with “If we indeed have have the main Sinnoh Pokédex exactly like it was in DP, then…” since it’s really only in reference to my hypothetical scenario in response to the claims of @Bastiodactyl. I’m not saying that’s the case, but having the Sinnoh Pokédex revert to how it was in DP and shoving the expansions in the underground just makes it seem as if TPC don’t consider the expanded Platinum additions and the new evolutions as “Sinnoh native” Pokémon. It also means the rest of the Gen 4 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon will forever lack a spot in a regional Pokédex, another consequence of insisting on keeping Sinnoh’s regional Pokédex DP-only.This feels like reading into things way too deep, and way too cynically. Like, people complained about Pokémon availability in DP for a decade, and now ILCA have done something big to fix it (literally acting upon that initial feedback by doing so), and now we’re… bending the narrative to say that they only really did it out of spite? Come on.
Another thing, looks like Room's secret room will be in BDSP, in the trailer we can see that there is an empty space in exactly the position as Platinum where the room would be. The layout of the room is changed from DP with the tree removed and a bookshelf added next to it. This is significant as the layouts so far have been 1:1 to DP even down to the minute details.
This was spotted by a user on Reddit.

In this video you can see that the position of the empty space is exactly the same in BDSP.

Sword and Shield definitely didn't take it into account given how extremely easy it is to get overleveled. And that's not even touching pokemon camp, pokemon candies and the other ways to get experience points.
I get a lot of people don't like grinding, but the 3D games have gone in the opposite direction. Making the games faster and faster by overleveling you.

I think I read recently that AI trainers' Pokémon in gen 4 only ever have the first ability in that species' slots. Could be misremembering though.Hey speaking of Cynthia's Togekiss, someone want to explain to me why she runs Hustle on it despite having no physical attacks? Rookie mistake there, C.
Yeah, especially since there was the lack of fire types in the original D/PI don't think Pokémon species should ever be locked behind the post-game like they did in the initial games for Johto and Sinnoh; I'm glad they've largely dropped that design with the recent Generations. I remember as a kid being psyched at all of the new Pokémon to own & discover after I beat Pearl...but then not really having much of a use for them afterwards.
