I'm not saying it isn't worth complaining about but I don't think it should be unexpected and it shouldn't be a reason to not play the game. ORAS is a remake of 3rd gen, and 3rd gen didn't have customization, so it's not in.

3rd gen also didn't have 700+ Pokémon and Mega Evolutions. Furthermore, ORAS literally takes place in an alternate universe from where the events of Ruby/Sapphire were.

If we're talking about features we miss, Gen 5's dynamic EXP gain and Audinos on every route was a real cool design choice. I can see why they went with the Super EXP Share in Gen 6 since the kids who are actually supposed to be playing Pokemon don't actually beat the games and all, but still.

seems like putting snake into a thing like smash bros would be literally free money since nintendo would probably have to pay for the license to use him and then create the ingame model and poo poo themselves

To be fair, I'll wait for gen 7 before I get angry about it. But I will be annoyed if it's gone in gen 7. It really made the social aspect of the game way more fun since you weren't always battling the same boy or girl online. And sometimes I'd dress up to match my team. Gen 7 doesn't need to have the sheer amount of clothing xy did, but if they get rid of race that's hosed up. (I don't see it happening.) Hair was nice, too. And as always, every week I sacrifice a goat in the hopes we'll be able to go hatless.

I just want to be Black in a video game. Splatoon got it on the first try but it took Pokemon 6 game to finally do it. I'll be dammed if they take it way. I'm hoping Animal Crossing add skin tone options one day because its stupid that I have to tan for 8 hour in the summer or on Tortimer Island to get dark skin.

Kojima was the guy who really fought to get Snake in Smash Bros. Because he thought it was hilarious. Konami is basically in "Do anything to spite Kojima even if it actively hurts our bottom line" mode, and has been for the past year.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
I'm pretty sure Kojima actually wanted Snake to be in Melee, but his request came in too late, so he made sure to get the memo to Sakurai sooner during Brawl's development.

I'm not really sure why beyond conjecture, but they cancelled silent hills despite the fact that Norman Reedus and Del Toro were both really into it and that the fan base was basically salivating for it after the demo. And they were doing really petty poo poo like removing Kojima's name from mgs5s promotional material.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Basically, with regards to Konami, they want to get into mobile gaming and they're torching any part of their gaming division that doesn't comply. Yes, even Kojima. Konami execs also hate that they basically give Kojima blank checks to make one game every few years for modest return when they could fund cheap apps that make huge returns instead.

kojima takes a lot of money to make a game

yeah, he makes it back, but a lovely mobile game would be faster, cheaper, and more profitable so here we are

You can choose your skin color in Happy Home Designer, hopefully they keep it that way for the next "real" Animal Crossing game

It felt like they did that because you couldn't get a tan anywhere because in amiibo Festival 2/8 of the human players have dark skin but their head shot doesn't saw it, so It felt like a afterthought.

I am also a big fan of trainer customization and have been wanting it for years.

I like being able to dress up to match my Pokemon team or to match the environment. I'll put on a coat in an icy region or switch to swimwear at the beach. It's fun and it makes my character feel like MY character.
