4th Gen Complaints thread

[PokéMartin]

I'm quite excited about getting the PokeWalker!

The concept kinda reminds me of Tamagotchi, and I grew up on those!

 

[bobandbill]

As threads was complaining about pokewalker commericals, merged with the Complaints thread.

(I've seen no ads here yet for hgss over here...might be though due to a lack of watching tv =P)

 

[GodofPH]

One question I've had about the Pokewalker is how XP is gained while a Pokemon is stored on there. Do they gain a point per step, ala the Day Care, or is it something different?

 

[bobandbill]

1 step = 1 experience pt. But this isn't the place for questions, it's for complaining. ;P Try the Help thread sticky next time you have a question, please.

 

[Skitty Crazy]

My only complaint is the lack of a confirmed GS ball event.

And we'll probably never get one.

I'm still very bitter about never getting one for GSC. So I was hoping THIS would make up for it... I wanted a shiny Celebi!

 

[Alucia]

There is a celebi event though in this one it doesn't use the gs ball though.

Bell Tower?

So, I just looked on Serebii, and what do I see? The Tin Tower is now called the Bell Tower. :O So they take out the Slot Machines, and now this?!?! |:< I mean, before:
Brass Tower and Tin tower.

Now:
Brass Tower and... Bell Tower? :(

Not only has the theme of the towers being named after metals is gone, but in my opinion, Bell Tower... just doesn't sound as good as Tin Tower... Yeah, the nostalgia's gone now. :\

So, Ho-Oh should live in a tower made a food packaging metal?

Useless...

True, but now the theme of the towers being named after metals is gone. :\ Additionally, if they changed the name of the region to something else, it just wouldn't be the same. The Tin... or sadly Bell Tower is a significant place (especially of Heart Gold), and nw that it's name has been changed (imo) the game just won't be the same. :\

 

[Myles]

It wasn't very significant anyway. Most people call the Brass Tower the Burned Tower (I think) and Tin Tower has no other significance. It's not like with the Sprout Tower.

In the Japanese version the Brass Tower is just Metal Tower, which would seem weird coupled with Tin Tower anyway.

Whaat ?? *checks map on HG ROM (US)* .

WHAAAAT ???

Why evil Nintendo , you don't have money for food packaging but for creating tycoons like Pokemon or Mario ? Well , we'll se later who hacks into your names from the game ... *goes into the shadow ...*

 

[Silent Storm]

There are Bells at the top of the tower, Bells are used to summon Ho-oh, Bell Tower has a nice ring (no pun intended) to it. There could be worse things but changing Tin Tower to Bell Tower was not really a bad move.

I don't remember if there were bells inside the tower, but I know there are at the very top where the main event takes place.

Aside from the fact that a bell is used to summon Ho-Oh, (and that "Tin Tower never made a lot of sense anyway), everyone seems to be forgetting that Gold & Silver came out in '99. "Tin Tower" bears more than an awkward resemblance to "Twin Towers".

Respect for national tragedies beats individual nostalgia.

 

[Syphr]

Not to be confused with sprout tower

I agree. At first I thought it was weird, but thinking about it now, the game was released before 9-11. It's like the Registeel sprite had to be changed for the European games because of the Nazi salute.

 

[chaos11011]

I hate how when you get on your bike it takes like 3 seconds for your pokemon to get into its pokeball,like it wastes time and its annoying to use the bike because of that >.>

 

[Xine]

i hate the new game corner (US version)

i can't tell where's the money-to-coin exchanger is.... >:I

 

[Grafx]

The cell phone is annoying

so many pointless calls, im not giving my # out anymore lol

 

[Sasuke.]

You think that's bad. Try playing the game in Japanese. You don't even know what they're saying. xD

 

[Ayselipera]

So far the only thing I don't like is the English names for the Team Rocket Executives. For some reason I thought they were going to be the same as the Japanese ones and I was really disappointed when I walked into Slowpoke Well and ended up facing Proton instead of Lance. D: Things like that bother me.
