    I hate that I have to wait until next week, when the DSi is released in the US; to get it because I sold my last DS. :(

    I hate that they made such a big deal about how cold it had gotten around Sinnoh, so much that they even resprited the characters to look like they're dressing warmer, and they showed about 80 screenshots of the first two towns and the first couple of routes having snow everywhere, but past that point there's no snow at all, save for the town which was capped in snow in the first game.

    I kind of felt ripped when I realized that the rest of the towns were basically the same, just with different buildings.

    Ugh. I tried catching Azelf with All of the PokeBalls I had, but that Pokemon just wouldn't get caught.

    I was also annoyed that only Twinleaf Town, Route 201, and Lake Verity had any snow. I also still hate the route before Snowpoint a lot, it adds nothing to the game play experience whatsoever, and is incredibly annoying. Maybe they could have put in an item like "snowshoes" that would allow you to walk over the snow with out a problem.

    Distortion World was not nearly as cool as I thought it would be. It was a very lazy attempt to show off the DS's 3D capabilities. It would have been cooler if it was more like the real world (trees, grass, mountains, maybe even Pokemon) just the physics were tweaked so you knew you were someplace strange.

    All in all, it could have been a lot better, but it still is a fun game.

    Its not supposed to have trees or grass or mountains or any other Pokemon, that's why its called The Distortion World, and like they said in the 11th movie, Giratina is the Only Pokemon, and everything is reversed and stuff.

    And I was saying, in my opinion, how they could have made it better. It isn't 'supposed' to have anything, it's entirely up to what the game designer wants. But the way it is now is bland and really not very fun after the first visit, in my opinion, and it could have been a lot more entertaining and interesting if they had added the things I mentioned, in my opinion.

    Calm down...

    Even though I don't have it, I've read up a little on it. The one thing I don't like is how there isn't a shortcut to the gym leader in the gyms. Even though it's better to battle them, what happens if you run out of potions or something? I'm kind of the more lazy type so I wouldn't want to just go all the way back to the mart and get more then go all the way back.

    Another thing I'm not fond of is the Distortion World. Just like Yamikarasu, I think it could've been better. I think it would be better without it. Overall, I think the game looks good, but there's just some things I think it could live without.

    From what I played (I think this is just me) the gym leaders final pokemon seems alot tougher, so I kinda hate that

    I hate the fact that it had a few (in my opinion, don't go arguing) changes from DP.

    I also hate the fact that most Pokémon are not easy to catch/do not easily evolve.
    (and that they took out version exclusives from DP)

    The fact that I still don't have it
    Heh...probably the same things that get me fruastrated with Pearl...

    That's what I dislike about it, but reading this thread makes me wish I had it even more.

    Eh, I'll get it sometime within the next couple of months..

    I absolutely hate how much they buffed up the E4, although a harder E4 would be cooler later in the game. Not the first time though. Seriously, that Yanmega Aaron has is CHEAP. And Cynthia is way to hard compared to the rest. AND, Giratina was too hard to catch.
