My issue is that the games built around those rosters do not do a whole lot with them and are brought down further by some really poor decisions: There were no good reasons to remove the little post-fight achievements screen, kneecap the number of Pokeballs that can be active, add barriers to the Home Run contest (and then make the barriers stronger), or throw in tripping or loot mechanics.

Players still capture Pokemon using Pokeballs, and use their exploration and training prowess to gradually fill out their Pokedex and ultimately take down the Elite Four in order to become the Johto region Champion. (modojo.com)
Before you start a battle, you can show off your battling pose, and each style has a different PokeBall throwing animation. (gamerankings.com)
