Oh, I see. Yeah, feebas and the constant requirement of HM Slaves was annoying.

The reason they removed the night/day cicle was because the Gold/Silver games used an internal clock or something like that. It's batteries weren't rechargeable or be taken out, last for about a decade, then they die and all your data is reseted. An universal retcon.

And probably, they were somewhat expensive for it's time. So they removed them. With the better technologies and the DS itself having an internal clock, unlike the Game Boy, the cycle could return with no problem.
