Not to mention Popcap keeps us players longer by not yet releasing Pumpkin and Garlic. Although I do hope that they don't make any more Movement Strategic plants, I'm perfectly happy with the ones we have, all very well balanced. I doubt either of them will come to PvZ2.

Pumpkin was OP, and would render a lot of defensive plants useless. Garlic probably was just replaced by Sweet Potato. Pumpkin isn't because it has a much higher sun cost than most plants, they'll give it a sluggish recharge time which means it'll take while to give your plants one Pumpkin, and it doesn't do special things like Tall-nut's blocking, Chardguards throwback, Sweet Potato's attraction, Peanut's firing ability, Endurian's hit back, and Red Stinger's column adaptation. You can't say it makes all Defensice plant useless because he doesn't have those abilities.

Garlic and Sweet Potato have different purposes and not to mention the massive sun difference. If you had both, you could funnel the plants into a single lane which would be really useful, zombie you couldn't really do with only Sweet Potato.
