Yeah... GameFreak has this really bad habit of introducing good mechanics just to drop them in later games...

To be fair, the opposite is also true, see how much easier berry farming is with the Pelago.

Honestly, I think the Festival Plaza wouldn't be half as annoying if the PSS was still the major communication system, with the Plaza being relegated a position similar to Poke Pelago, as an optional mini-game with neat rewards instead of the big gate to all communication features.

Having a mini-map, good. Removing the sweetness that is the Search Dex? Bad.
