Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Oh, they remove things all the time too. DexNav, walking Pokémon (excuseable as the games shifted from the traditional 2D sprites after HGSS), dynamic background music, the Vs. Seeker, Secret Bases (and their derivatives), roller skates, toggleable Running Shoes, berry pots, and lately even the freaking National Dex.
I'd say their biggest problem is their insistence to keep every game at a bare minimum when it comes to features, even when it means scrapping legitimately good ideas from previous games.
Of course, the "shiny new toy" factor of scrapping Megas in favour of Z-Moves is no good either. Overall, I'd say they've got an even bigger problem than the one mentioned above: A stubborn refusal to communicate with their fans.
