Title: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Kuhns on January 13, 2010, 06:34:23 AM
We all have some gripes about the games. The rival's type advantage, the ugly [insert new Pokemon here], the lack of luster in the NPC's dialogue....

What did yah'll hate about the games? (Explain why if possible)

-

I hated (in the earlier) games the fact that one couldn't re-battled a trainer. Battling wild Pokemon didn't get me anything other then exp. Well, unless you had a Meowth. >.> And even then it wasn't as much as a trained Pokemon. :(

one thing i don't really like is when you are 5-6 levels underleveled, like I currently am on my SoulSilver game. they should give you more trainers to train against for those kinds of people who actually do go through the game with a full team of 6 pokemon.

The main plot is ALWAYS: Evil Team [insert name] is trying to take over the world with legendary Pokemon, [insert new legendaries]! Player battles Evil Team single handedly in large building, while Team Grunts are defeated one by one and totally don't mind if you have to leave and heal your Pokemon half way through, they'll wait for you to finish whenever you like. You defeat them just before they succeed in taking over the world etc.

Lol. I thought it was to become a Pokemon Masta!!!!111!

But, the above is just so true. :P Don't forget about the mandatory warp mats/puzzles/doors-with-buttons-on-other-floors!

I especially hate those stupid trainers with six slots of useless Pokemon. I don't need to battle Magikarp six times in a row to already know I hate it.  >:(

Post by: mightygamer2 on January 15, 2010, 04:08:05 PM
and that's why i'm smart and always keep my party stocked up with one pokemon that's has all those crappy moves...the thing that bugged me the most was the fact that i forget to save right before battling a legendary and then, either realizing that i either don't have enough pokeballs (and all the corresponding catching devices) or that my pokemon are too strong to get it within range of capturing it without dying...

I hate it that the game is linear (ie. you need to unlock all routes and towns), I like game where I can go everywhere and just scout the world (Morrowind).

If you're talking Elder Scrolls, that game swallowed me up and I never came out. xD I played for months...still....no end in sight. >.<

Although, I often found myself running away fighting enemies at much higher levels than me. :P

Haha, gotta love being followed by strong enemies in elder scrolls. It's especially funny to lure them to guards, who then get slaughtered by them ;D And then steal their armor :P

Post by: Hyakko on January 17, 2010, 01:53:15 PM
There is much to be said as for what i hated.

1. In all of the pokemon games, the fire type is always hard mode, the water type is normal mode and the plant type is easy mode. Why  the hell is charizard not a fire/dragon? Why is gyarados not a water/dragon? These two are dragons gyarados is the only one between the two THAT knows dragon moves, why can't he be a dragon type? I'll never know...
2. Why in all stories its always some EVIL team that forces US to get the legendaries?
3. I hate yellow version because it is based of an anime i hate and wish for it to die. No logic unlike red and blue.
4.And gold/silver/Crystal series was fueled by a gotta catch em all craze, with the new real time clock, which meant you had to set your clock right not for the right time but to be able to access both all the time frames in your waking hours. some of my most favored powerfull pokemon were only caught during the night or at dusk and dawn. Like why the hell would someone go all out during the night  to feverishly catch some stupid pokemon that should be caught in his waking hours like if the day night system was akin to harvest moon. And that in itself is a cruel farce. what's worse is that it is now an endorsed feature in al the following series of pokemon.
5.Ok in diamond/pearl/platinum they actually pegged down the gottacatch em all craze, but seriously why start with the IVs and EVs trap. It took most of the fun away from making a powerhouse by forcing IV breeding and EV training to get the absolute best from your pokemon. honnestly, I think they should have had that reworked so that its not the sheer amount of fights emons you fight but rather how much you make to pay for specialized training for EV values. You should have a visible EV status menu to keep track of the values you gain so you can easily prune off what you don't want.
6. Seriously why nerf moves like twister? Just for its damage potential now makes that move about as worth while as SPLASH. Why should bite be dark? crunch maybe but not bite it's a move  that started as a normal type.
7. I hated pokemon Darkness on game cube. like what the hell, I am supposed to not kill any pokemon at all holding back on everyfight so i can recapture all those pokemons by force and deny the potential of power in my pokemons, clearly a dum idea. its like telling Ryu hayabusa not to kill anyone in a ninja gaiden game. seriously dumb game idea. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fight without hurting pokemon that keep attacking you?

You know i had played avatar recently and games should never be based ona story of a movie or anime, but rather on a setting of the movie or anime, that would have worked better in the firstplace. like sure you need a license to use certain moves but you know making it always necessary to stop at a gym to get a licence is kinda stupid when we all know that to get a licence you need to write some papper work. The world should be expanded for the makers of pokemon to actually use what should work instead of hollywood logic.

EVENT POKEMON RAGGARBLARGGYCHOOKAMUNG!!!!!!!

I hate the fact that for to catch them all you had to infact go to some fete in japan (I wouldn't dare to do this by the way) to get some legendary pokemon - what a dissapointment!

Charizard and Gyarados are Fire/Flying and Water/Flying type respectively. Also, you can make Charizard learn some dragon moves via the move relearner.

2. Why in all stories its always some EVIL team that forces US to get the legendaries?
In RBY, the team rocket was only stealing pokemon and trying to control Silph Co.
In GSC, team rocket was trying to control the Radio Tower
It's only in RSE and DPPt that they tried to control legendaries, to shape the world like they wanted it to be.

IV and EV was here a long time ago... since the first game I think. I'm sure though it was the case for GSC.

When you get to the last person in the elite and have 1 pokemon left (pokemon leaf green for me) and no revives! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Title: Re: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Jerry on January 22, 2010, 05:09:08 PM
Lol! Try to have more money and so you can buy more revives! ;)

Make good use of the amulet coin, sell your nuggets, star pieces, star dusts, big pearls, pearls, etc. Sell all that you know you will never use, like perhaps some TMs, or escape ropes (I rarely use them).

Buy hyper potions and lava cookies instead of full restores and max potions.

Or just train your Pokemon better. :P Know what the Elite are going to do, and what type of Pokemon they're going to use. Makes all the difference.

Yes, that's it. The thing is, there might be some lazy ones out there  ;)
If it's the Elite 4 which has higher levelled pokemon, then I will recommend trying to battle them several times before getting the national pokedex (the League is closed right after you get your national pokedex). This way, you get higher levelled pokemon easily, get some more training on the Sevii Islands, then get on an easier Elite 4.
Title: Re: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Kuhns on January 25, 2010, 07:50:14 PM
I also hated the fact that in Hey You Pikachu, the days were so short, and you couldn't play more then ten minutes before having to go home and watch Pikachu tear through all your tissues.

That stupid Clefairy mimic game on Pokemon Stadium. :P I mean, I would usually last longer than my brothers, but damn it was hard to keep it going and going when they did pose a challenge. Dx
Title: Re: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Darkstar64 on January 26, 2010, 03:28:12 PM
The only thing i've ever hated about pokemon was that they never let you take a pokemon out of its pokeball unless you were battling. It took them over a DECADE!! to realize it was a simple math equation:

Pokemon+Always inside pokeball=Suckish!

Pokemon-Always inside pokeball=More appeal to younger ages!

Think about it. If nintendo had made pokemon walk around with you in previous games, this would have made large appeal to the younger kids with DS's. Seriously, every kid who lives around where I live has at LEAST a DS lite. Some have DSi's! Of pokemon had walked around before, these kids would have bought those games.

Post by: Kuhns on January 26, 2010, 07:21:12 PM
Hm, what would be the purpose of the Pokemon walking around outside of their Pokeballs?

In Diamond/Pearl, there were certain areas where certain Pokemon in your party could walk around with you.

What Pokemon games are you playing? If you're talking about that old Rare Candy cheat from way back in Red/Blue then yeah, maybe, but just the thought of complaining about this kills me. xD Do you want the cheats to be hard to find?

The only part of your post that I can understand is the second half. Yes, the game does end kinda abruptly, and yes, that is kinda irradiating.

There were CERTAIN places where you could have CERTAIN pokemon out of their pokeballs, but that was too selective. It's nice to have any pokemon you want out of it's pokeball.

Yes, I believe that's what I said. My main point was that, there isn't really a purpose into having your Pokemon out of its ball. :\

But anyways, this is a complaining thread so I guess anything goes. :P

Starters are not baby pokemon, they are bred by a special breeder who hatches as trains baby pokemon so they're ready to be used as a beginner's first pokemon. Sending a brand new trainer out into the wild with only a newly hatched baby pokemon to defend himself would be insane, lol.

I also kind of hate the "crys" in the pokedex. They're all the same poop! The same annoying "aksldfjgnsdfn" noise. I mean i know they're not literally the same noise, but really !?!? Why the hell a screeching noise for every pokemon?! At least give the effort to put in real pokemon sounds, or just dont put that in at all...

This is not a hate toward Pokemon games in general just feel like it missing it! All Pokemon games claimed to be RPG but they lag the big part of what make RPG fun it the side quest. The little things we could do in the between and out of the main story. Why should all trainers just go out leveled up their team. Get the badges Defeat team "...." and beat the Elite 4 then bam... game over. A couple of previous post mention Elder Scroll series. Bethesda is evil I tell ya. They make game that suck people in for hours. I m not asking to make a Pokemon as big and wide as Elder Scroll or Fall Out. Just have some random quest on a side maybe every town should have a couple some thing like A Rhyhorn/Rhydon is attacking all the pokemon in the area or there is a Rubat raid every night in the village... something just so we could do and maybe fail because we was too weak atm then we could come back later for it. a little reward would be nice. some credit. maybe a stone perhaps. That is just my hope maybe other have better input.


Anyway thanks for all the hard work that the staff did to make this all possible.

Dude, really. Have you read anything on the forums? Like the 'Write a Quest' type of thing? Its not going to be just battling gym leaders. Don't want to be mean, not my intention, but before you post again please read through-out the forums so you could get an understanding of what the game is like. It would be better off than posting a bunch of non-sense. I mean we all do this sometimes in our lives but say its a tip ya know ;)

He/She wasn't talking about PU. They were talking about the usual bland that goes into the [official] Pokemon games: fight other Pokemon trainers, get badges, try to complete the Pokedex.... The blahblahblah that come in every game...every time...of every release. Won't stop me from getting the new ones though. ;D

So, tip of the day: Read the above post carefully before you make a new post on what the previous poster was supposedly doing wrong.  ::)

I recently plugged in my pokemon yellow into my GBA to see what pokemon i had on it did this with all my pokemon games but yes the pikachu did say pika....however....when it said PIKA it was screechie to where it made your ears bleed....

One thing I hate in all pokemon games...there is always a pokemon you cannot catch without cheats of some sort or going to some lame thing to get it on your game....a example is Mew.

much much hate....Complete the pokedex! oh you cant catch that one....

I only knew about the 2nd generation games. Are there any other games where you can go to multiple regions?


Anyway, my complaint is the afterstory. You know, the part you can do after you beat the game? It was so damn short, and so damn boring, that no-one wanted to do it! Heart Gold and Soul Silver are their best creations yet, but it still isn't perfect. I think nintendo should come out with a game that...

1) Has a long overall story
2) Can get updates for new adventures

Think about it:You could go to events (like ones at gamestop) and connect to Wi-Fi to get new things to do, so the game never gets old. Kinda like online games. Even if they did make this, NOTHING could EVER replace Pokemon Universe.

Well, it's nearly the same as in the previous versions, I mean Gold/Silver. Once the Elite 4 beaten, you get to train to beat the ultimate trainer, Red, dwelling in Mt Silver with Pikachu, Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard, Lapras, Snorlax (this is his team in HGSS, in GSC, he had Espeon instead of Lapras).

Post by: Jerry on March 24, 2010, 07:29:50 PM
Yes, it's the same I tell you, the Johto and Kanto region and the 16 badges. The plot has been modified a little, like for example, you get to fight along with Giovanni's kid against the Dragon Team Lance and the last gym leader of Johto. He has well, not so good pokemon, and got to fight the 'levelled up' dragon trainers. Cinnabar island and the Seaform islands are a little different, and some other modifications you'll see when you play the game.

Right, once the pokemon gets at 1 HP, the pokemon would resist the poison and will then be removed of the status condition. :)

If you have Pokemon HG, SS, or a good friend, just trade over the good pokemon onto the other game for crappy pokemon, and the re-start. Then, on your Diamond, catch a bunch of pokemon and trade over the good pokemon for them. It may be a lot of work, but it's better that being bored or losing the pokemon.

     One of the most annoying things in Pokemon is the fact that the HMs are terrible! You also have to teach them to your main pokemon, with almost no way to get rid of them. That, and the fact that the wild pokemon are so weak in HG and SS makes me mad. I have nowhere to train my pidgeyotto and other pokemon before the 8th gym. Now I have to over-train my machamp and gyarados on gravelers, giving them the defense EVs that I don't want. Now I'm mad because my brother is going to beat the game before me, when I was 3 gyms ahead of him >:(

Oh, I hate to find a shiny pokemon and the latter uses a self killing move like selfdestruct or curse (ghost) before I land a move to bring it to critical HP...

I really, really hate how the AI would just use moves at random.  Sure, it's easier sometimes but it would be a lot more challenging if it at least had some system where it attacked based on your pokemon type, limited non-damaging stat boost/decrease moves, and never did moves that literally did nothing (electric attack on ground pokemon, both pokemon in a dual battle using helping hand, etc.).

Title: Re: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Jerry on April 04, 2010, 10:32:51 AM
Well, she could have soft reset the game, then make another attempt to catch Ho-oh. Masterballs are rarely necessary. Perhaps you'll need one only for Suicune or Latias in HG, but even then, they're not that necessary.

My worst tiff in the Pokemon games was Nurse Joy when you healed your Pokemon. I had some seriously psychological problems when she would say "We hope to see you again!". It's like, does she WANT our Pokemon to be dead, asleep, paralyzed, frozen, burned, or poisoned?! I'm so glad they changed it in HGSS. My mental crisis is over.

I also hate the stones/items issue. One Shiny/Dusk stone, 2 Pokemon to evolve it with. One Metal Coat, 2 Pokemon to evolve it with. I WANT BOTH, MAN.

It's not that she wanted them to be hurt, it's that she wanted you to come back if your pokemon were hurt instead of leaving them in pain.

The team rocket never really had any motivation to being evil other than every npc I talked to said "they use pokemon for evil"

How do they use pokemon for evil? Other than silph co. takeover and radio tower takeover, there was never really any "evil" acts until RSE.

Also, the battle attacks. i understand that they can't do anything special in the gb/gba/ds games because the handhelds just lack the power, but when on GC or Wii, can't you have the attack animations be, for the lack of a better word, more realistic?

If I use bite, or crunch, why don't they actually bite them?
Its not like they're really adding that much more to the games anymore, why can't they start to make the animations not look like theyre standing there literally the entire time?

Use a fire attack on a grass type, have small embers on the pokemon or something.
When you use something like dig or earthquake, maybe have the area take some heat?
When you use something like sky uppercut, actually punch the damn pokemon in the face and, I don't know, have an animation of the enemy launching them?
Maybe have the pokemon move around a little, FFXIII did it, the people and enemies wander and move, even though its(pretty much) turn based combat.

What the hell are the studios doing to take up all their time to make games? Not this obviously

I hate how pokemon doesn't have awesome music. I mean, some of it's really cool, but a lot of it is crap! Some of the only awesome music they have isn't even made by them. It's made by some person on youtube who remixes the song to sound cool (none of it is implemented into the games). If you want to see who I'm talking about, go look at PokemonRemixStudio on youtube. That guy/girl makes some sweet music from some of the crap (not all of it is crap) they have in the games.

Lack of difficult fights - most gym leaders and trainers are pushovers, the elite 4 tended to only be difficult the first time through. Too many pointless battles - we all know the frustration of a trainer with 6 magikarp/metapods etc, and of course the zubat hordes. Wish there were more NPCs with mixed-type parties, strong/rare pokemon, higher levels generally; GSC/HGSS gym leaders are the best example of this... level 9 pidgeotto anyone?

The only thing I've grown to hate about the game is the necessity of the HM's. In the first two games, it was a cute thing to have. It made your Pokemon feel like part of the team; they were useful and fun to use outside of battle. Now, however, it just annoys me having to haul them around with me. Generally, they have almost no worth in battle (re: Flash, etc.)

I think that the HM system has just grown outdated. All the new features make the game fun, exciting, and fresh; while every time I pick up an HM, all I can think is, "Great. Now I have alter a moveset to fit this on or I have to start carrying around an HM user again."

I actually hated the safari zone in the originals. It was the worst part of the games. I mean some of the most bad-ass pokemon were in there but having to go in 500 billion times and throw rocks at pokemon to catch them was the worst idea ever, even if the idea did come from the fact taht it was suposed to be a pokemon reserve. And what was up woth the poopty balls you had to use.

I hated that the moves were not very realistic and you couldnt interact with your pokemon and the games were so unlike the tv show which they are based off of im sure some people dont want the games to be like the show but where do you think they got the idea for the games anyway but specificly what i mean is the attacks they learn, where you can go, what you can do, just how screwed up the games were compared to the tv series. if anyone has any questions on the differences between the games and the tv series i can help in anyway (i still watch them)

I also hated how you couldnt catch all the pokemon wild like in the series meaning the starters and how you had to have multiple other games to catch em all
I also dont like the fact that you could catch the legenderies im glad we wont in PU

I really hated the fact that double battles didn't come up very much. There was always only 1 maybe 2 double battles in one game. They put more in D/P/Pt, but I think there still weren't enough.

Well actually, emerald, ruby, and sapphire have the most double battles than the rest of the games I would say. I used to hate how comlicated the game used to be to understand, but now its pretty easy to understand. And I think it would be awesome if they made a pokemon game for like xbox360 or wii that you played it as if it were like the tv. show (you can rn, dodge, jump, etc.)

Lol, just buy a ton of revives and hyper potions, i beat Cynthia on my first try. Oh, one strategy i used was sending my straptor a bit while fighting garchomp. My empoleon knows ice beam so it KO'd it instintaly. But garchomp was faster so it used earthquake. Earthquake instantly KOd my empoleon. So i would revive straptor, let intimidate lower its attack a few times, then earthquake wouldnt instantly KO my empoleon anymore any i KOd it with ice beam. Then beating the rest was easy, critical hit her spiritomb, staraptor use brave bird on roserade, milotic would instantly faint with luxray's thunder, her lucario was slower than mine so i just used aura shpere and KO, and togekiss i kod with gardevoir's thunderbolt and calm mind.

The main things that really annoy me is that pokemon are limited to 4 moves... and you can only carry 6... you should begin with a limit of say 3 and be able to upgrade the bag at specific points in the game up to a total of 8 ish... Also stats shouldn't be as limited. You should be able to keep a shinx and give it a stat boost item so that it has the stats of a luxio at lv15 and a luxray when it evolves again later on...  :-\

I also hate the fact that shinys dont have any stat boosts anymore... I reckon they should have increased stats relying on the characteristic  of the pokemon. i know characteristic already slightly improves a stat but with shinies it should improve a stat alot more...

The only thing i've ever hated about pokemon was that they never let you take a pokemon out of its pokeball unless you were battling. It took them over a DECADE!! to realize it was a simple math equation:

Pokemon+Always inside pokeball=Suckish!

Pokemon-Always inside pokeball=More appeal to younger ages!

Think about it. If nintendo had made pokemon walk around with you in previous games, this would have made large appeal to the younger kids with DS's. Seriously, every kid who lives around where I live has at LEAST a DS lite. Some have DSi's! Of pokemon had walked around before, these kids would have bought those games.

they did back in Yellow Version, but it wasnt that great =\

the lack of available battles, or the fact that some pokemon need to be trade to evolve. In the first games, i didnt have a link cable, so trade evolutions were useless for me. when i got it, my friends were happy, but the stupid thing kept disconnecting. >:(

I don't like how the new 5th gen pokemon don't have that original style of pokemon. They completely changed it.

And this is the only pokemon game where I didn't like the water starter's final evolution. I don't hate it, but it doesn't look awesome like the other ones. I like the Grass starter the best for this game, I think.

I hate that there are so many pokemon. New additions are good, but we don't need to add 1-2 hundred new pokemon each generation. It causes some to be weird looking, or just redundant.

I don't like that they haven't extended the number of moves your pokemon can have at once, and haven't extended the number of pokemon you can carry for double battles. Now there are tripple battles, and I'll bet you're still restricted to six pokemon with four moves each.

Pokemon trading. I don't like having to buy two separate games so I can trade when both cost around 50 bucks. And no, I don't have any friends that play pokemon to trade with.

But only having 4 moves creates a greater level of strategy than 5 or more. It would make it harder to predict, and some Pokemon would become super overpowered, and some would be too underpowered. I guess it sort of is already like that, but it would be worse.

The lack of smack button. Personally, I would have loved to hit some of the cpu's and that  includes the rival. It also would have been nice if the the other trainers didn't have really corny, overdone, and rather dull dialogue. It might have added some realism if there was at least a small degree of swearing too.

Three things:
1) Annoying Dungeons: ANNOYING FRIGGIN DUNGEONS.

2) HMs: Terrible HM moves with the exception of some (Surf, Fly, Strength). I mean, really...
    a) Cut is outclassed by other moves
    b) Flash is equal to sand attack in gen 4, and in gens 1-3 is worse because it has 70% accuracy
    c) Rock Smash is just TERRIBLE
    d) Waterfall is DECENT but only works on the few physical water types like maybe Gyarados who wouldn't be better off with Surf.
    e) Dive is a mediocre move. I have not ever found a instance where it would be a good idea to teach to an in-game battling team member.
    f) Whirlpool = Water version of fire spin = BAAAAAD.
    g) Defog = Flying version of sweet scent = BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

3) Power Points: I don't like it when moves have bad Power Points. There are many, but my biggest complaint is VINE WHIP! 40 Power but ONLY 10 POWER POINTS! I mean, that's awful! Earthquake has 10 PP and has 100 power!
Ember is like a fire version of vine whip, only with about 2 or 3 times more PP!
Razor Leaf outclasses it comepletely. More PP, more power, higher crit hit ratio.
Title: Re: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Chad29 on February 14, 2011, 06:21:33 AM
I can definitely agree with two and three. You can keep your HMs in a bag that I've never actually filled up in the later generations, so why can't I just delete HM moves with older moves, and apply it again if I get stuck? Or just make all HMs be good moves late in the game. Rock Smash is fin in the early levels, but gets outdated by level ten or so.

I have noticed some moves seem to have more or fewer PP than they should. vine whip is a good example. Ten PP should be for moves like earthquake and flamethrower. Not vine whip.

He never specifically mentioned YOUR shorts. Just shorts in general.

Anywhoozit, I would have liked a little more diversity in the cast. Aside from Gary, all the rivals have had more or less the same exact personality, all the professors were cookie cutter crap, and Wally... well... we don't talk about him anymore.
Is it so much to ask that the rival is a masochistic lesbian, or maybe a guy with a blood fetish that walks around dressed like the Phantom of the Opera?

What do i hate? The frequent number of increasing pokemon, I mean its like they say "GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL" but its more like "CATCH THEM ALL BEFORE THEY MAKE 1000 MORE" im not exactly complaining its just that they lie when they say you cn catch them all XD. The other thing is the events. Call me b***y but whenever a cool event comes on i always miss it when my wi-fi is f***ing with me and i cant get anything like a mew or arceus. But thats about it, the game is really fun in everything else.

Red and Blue/Green are quite outdated, but since the remakes include everything up to the third generation they are just as fun as Ruby and Sapphire.

I'm still debating over getting either Heart or Soul. Speaking of Heart Gold, does anyone else kind of wish they had gone with Glittering Gold? Just so both words would start with the same letter. Not that it matters that much.

Well... you could still restart another game... get a friend to take the pokemon you want to keep, then get them back once you can trade.
Title: Re: Things about the Pokemon Games you hated
Post by: Chad29 on March 01, 2011, 06:57:46 PM
I see your problem, then. Well now you know not to trust him, and make sure you hide your games so he can't steal the pokemon you're unwilling to trade to him. If he beats you for that, go to your parents. Assuming they're good parents, and will punish your brother.

the original three games with the smart idea to have pokeballs miss. i use pokeballs all the time. and mewtwos pretty hard already. and limited storage space on the original three. i hate how the third generation took out the night system. I hate how every single game makes you wait to get ice types. its not too powerful like dragons to be stuck that far away from the starting point

Well, one thing that bugged me was how over-powered Trainer Red is in Soul Silver, I'm never gonna beat that guy with his level 80+ Pokemon :P
Also don't like how there are hardly any Fire-Types to catch in recent games, because I've got mostly water types and I need SOMETHING to beat Grass-Types.

I hate massive cities, i like medium sized cities spaced out. I HATE all the 5th gen cities. I hate how certain pokemon cant be caught at different times (hoothoot is fine), I hate not being able to rematch trainers (5th gen sucks), I hate when the game ends at level 60s, I hate how after beating the game theres not enough fun to be had to even look at the game again (especially after N in 5th gen), I hate accidentally clicking an HM move outside of battle (teleport) - needs a confirm thing.

i don't like how there are over 600 pokemon, that is too many, catching them all has lost its meaning now, there are so many of them you can't name them all, i can probably name 85% of the first 151 and the 100 following them, why? because they were memorable.

I can name them all,
It's just that I can't name them all at the same time because you always forget one while you know which pokémon it is. Still practising names for the fifth gen, I keep forgetting the name of the crab with the huge cube rock on its back.

What I hate are some of the spin-offs that don't make sense. Those like PMD always had an epic storyline but the graphics were kinda horrible, I liked the art of the world, but the sprites were horrible. Ranger is all about drawing circles persistently until you captured the pokémon in ranger they forgot the RPG-ness of the pokémon games and all you can 'level up' is your capture mechanism...

The only kinds of pokemon I hate are the kinds that require "freindship" to evolve. Is there a meter for it? No. Is there anyway of knowing how far until it obtains freindship? Nope.avi. Do you have to find out how to f*cking do it before the pokemon is lvl 100? Yes. It's all really annoying to me, but Nintendo isn't perfect.

Every Pokemon is catchable (every in its generation), just not in its game. There are game exclusive Pokemon (etc. Ekans, Sandshrew...) which you must trade with somebody with other version of game.
Well about pokemon from other generations, there are transfer machine, and now in B&W Dream World.

You are wrong. In every game (instead gen.1) there is one person which says how happy your Pokemon is. Give a Pokemon Soothe Bell and have it on team and its happiness will rose.

Probably mentioned before but I don't feel like reading 18 pages of discussion. Of all the little complaints that can be said about the Pokemon games, my only true complaint is trading for a Pokemon to evolve. Dumbest thing ever. Literally means you can't catch them all if you don't find someone to trade to and then trade back. I mean who even does that any more? It's ridiculous, I can't even get a Gengar.

I LOVE having my pokemon out in SS--it's epic. Also, I love the extra story you sorta get.

As far as it goes though, the thing I least like is linearity--I like choice in what I do.
I also dislike having to teach Flash in a lot of cases, because it usually means I have to carry around a useless pokemon for a while. WHY CAN'T MY AMPHAROS JUST LIGHT UP ITS TAIL?? Heck, it's the lighthouse/beacon pokemon, for crying out loud! It shouldn't need an extra move to do what it naturally does.
Trading to get pokemon is also an issue with few people I know having the same generation games and an iffy Wi-Fi connection.

Someone probably already said this, but I'm not reading 19 pages for a quick reply :P

I hate when you battle a trainer with excessive amounts of the same Pokemon. I don't need to battle 6 Metapods to know I've won. Same thing with Magikarps, but not just useless Pokemon. When you fight Team Rocket in SGC/HG/SS, one of the executives has 6 Koffings, which all of the grunts had as well. It got old fast.
