to be more precise, 3 features; you lose friends list, GTS and quick join PVP.If I understood it correctly, it's not just "2 online features", every single online feature from now on that doesn't involve using Hamachi will require a online save.I read all the comments and I don't see why people are complaining they will still be able to complete the story with the exact same save they have now, Its just 2 online features won't be available to that save, Plus I'm thinking of the reset as more of a Race to see who can get the highest level team, Also trading will be cooler knowing that the pokemon aren't duped or hacked , Shinys will be super special awesome instead of being "Hacked", Just be happy we are finally seeing the fruits of the staff's work after 2+ weeks of waiting
you aren't losing pvp (it isn't in for anyone) this update that means you won't be able to trade but we can put in that for LAN/direct IP connections. you get all the key features but not the connectivity
