Not much, but I miss the day/night cycle from D/P and probably contests from R/S, which will hopefully be back in OR/AS

- Dat 8-bit music tho.
- Not having to worry about EV's, Natures, Egg Moves and all that other time consuming horseshit.
- When the games didn't feel more and more redundant due to Game Freak reusing the exact same premise ever since Gen 1 (i.e going out to collect 8 badges, beating the elite 4 + the regional champion, collecting all teh pokemanz)
- The Pokemon from the first two generations are my favorites despite what some contrary hipster douche will say about their "lack of originality". Sadly a lot of these Pokemon became far less valuable in battle during later generations which made me a sad panda. :-(
- The way the first two generations complemented each other so well and felt like one collective experience where you followed in the original protagonist's footsteps only to end up surpassing him in terms of achievements and ultimately defeating him yourself in one of the most epic and climactic battles in all of video gaming.
- And last but not least, that surreal feeling of being a motherfucking 90's kid during the inception of Pokemon and seeing literally everyone around you in your age group share the same amount of excitement that you had for this new and exciting thing called Pokemon!
EVs were introduced in Gen 1.Honestly the only thing I prefer about Gen 1 and 2 mechanic-wise is the lack of EVs and natures, which I feel weren't overly necessary and probably contributed to many good Pokemon losing relevance (at least competitively) in future generations. Aside from that, I miss the old art style and character designs (not to say there aren't any newer designs I like), and I prefer certain story elements from the old games, like the simpler villains (although honestly the new villains aren't very well written either imo).
