Summary
Pokemonfans want the ability to customize and decorate their Secret Bases and bedrooms back. The feature has generated a lot of community buzz, with players reminiscing about the missing functionality in recentPokemonreleases.
While the core of capturing and battling Pokemon has remained more or less the same since the original titles' releases in the ’90s, there have been a lot of side features andminigames inPokemongamesthat have come and gone over the years. Unfortunately, while some fans thought it would return inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, having a customizable home base seems to be one of them.
Pokemonfan Hsiang7 shared their thoughts on how some of the games over the years allowed players to collect and decorate their own personal space. In some of the titles, this function was in Secret Bases, but a form of the feature was around all the way back inPokemon Gold and Silver, where players could set up small decorative knickknacks around the player’s childhood bedroom. Hsiang7 wondered if fellow fans were eager to see this feature return, and it seems that most of the community is in favor of it coming back.
Fellow fans reminisced about the feature, with some even sharing screenshots of their Secret Bases with fellow players. Others lamented the downgradeSecret Bases received inPokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearlfrom the original versions, as players were far more limited in how they could decorate their space. While it seems that many fans would enjoy seeing the feature return, many don’t have any faith in it actually happening.
Pokemon Players Lament Downgrades and Missing Features
Many fans in the comments were quick to point out that it’s unfortunately common for unique features to be added to thePokemonseries only to never make an appearance again. Others lamented that the games seem to feature less side content in general than they did in the past. Several players noted that they were excited when theplayer’s dorm room inPokemon Scarlet and Violetwas revealed, believing that some form of this feature would return. With an increased focus on multiplayer, it would have been the perfect time for it, but players were sorely disappointed by the dorm room lacking major customization features.
