Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver
...Well, only one aspect: The Pokegear's Phone. Yes, I know the Phone in your Pokegear was used the same way in G/S/C, and they probably kept it this similar for that reason...Really, my only problem with the Phone function is calling for Rematches...Both Trainers and Gym Leaders...
IMO, The Vs Seeker still should have been included...Maybe it's just me, but I hate sifting through the 'Hey my Rattata's different', or 'oops wrong number!' calls to get to rematches from a select number of Trainers...Some of the Trainers also call to give you items (I think that should have been the main function of the Pokegear's phone, for the random Trainers...It could have also been for Trainers who's Pokemon Get stronger every time they call you for a rematch)
...Without the Vs Seeker, and being able to fight any random Trainer 'whenever you want to,' Johto and Kanto feel kind of...Empty, and the only place to reliably fight Trainers for Exp. is the Elite 4...but this could be because I used the Vs Seeker so often in FR/LG/D/P/Pl. that I just got used to it...
The other thing that bugs me isn't that you have to call a Gym Leader for a Rematch, but you have to call them at a Specific time on a Specific day for a rematch...IMO, a specific time of day or a specific day would've been fine on their own (Possibly)...The only good part is that once you face them (Assuming you go right to the Fighting Dojo in Saffron), you can call them right back for as many rematches as you want (Permitting you're still in the specific time of day you have to call them)
...Now, I haven't tried it, but you might be able to screw with the DS' Clock & Calendar to do this, but From what I understand, it doesn't work for things like Haircuts, Daisy's Pokemon Massages, Growing Berries, etc...So, I don't know if you'd be able to do it for Gym rematches...
But really, aside from that, I'm satisfied with the games
