I agree. Collect colored shards just to get weather TMs? Most Pokémon have abilities that help with that. Completely useless. They should have not added D/P's colored shard mechanics. However, Platinum's colored shard mechanics was amazing. They should have included that and 90% of the Platinum content in the remakes.

Agreed, what a dumb idea... Worthless
