Ahh, memories of playing Emerald and coming up to the parts of the map that rained. I’d use the secret base and imagine me and my pokemon getting out of the rain to dry up and use potions. Too bad pokemon is shit now.
I think it would have been more of a thing if RSE had online support. If you were just playing through by yourself then it was just kind of meaningless, but the main point was when you linked with someone, their secret base was brought into your game, along with their current team. They would occupy that base, and you could battle them. Imagine if the game brought a smattering of bases from the internet? Even a gen later.
I know that GF built pokemon around the link cable, but I feel like they overestimated how many of my friends would be playing.
Let me guess, they’re introducing base-building and crafting elements that they somehow patented ten years ago.
They did have a base building mechanic in diamond/pearl, if you can call a hole in the ground a “base”.

They had that in Ruby/Sapphire
There was something similar in ruby/sapphire/emerald if I’m remembering correctly.
Secret bases! Kinda pointless but if you did record mixing with a friend they would appear in their own base in your game and you could battle them
Did anyone ever actually use those things? I never bothered in any of my playthroughs.
