6th Gen Are you serious?

[KamikazeSSoH]

This is not the Remake that i wanted it. its so bad.
Its so bad that 2 days in i beat the game and i was like. ''Oh Well'' and played the original
Ruby and after i beat the game i was like''That was great'' Theres a lot to complain. but i think they are making the new games more easy.
and the only good thing i loved it. it is. the comeback of white haiir up on this beeeatchhh"!!!!! <3

One ''are you serious?'' moment I am able to come up with is Mauville City's design...I miss the old one. It took me 20 minutes to even get used to the design. I had such a hard time finding the bikeshop and where to exit.

To be fair, when Emerald first came out, I was one of those kids that found the Battle Frontier boring and I still do to some extent. Pike, Arena and Palace rely a little too much on dumb luck for me to enjoy them and even Pyramid sometimes does if you get a bad dungeon layout. The only ones I liked were Dome and Tower and they just so happen to be nearly identical gameplay-wise to Maison, so there's that.

Personally, I'd rather dumb fun luck than the BS hax luck that Maison is full of. There's a place for both, and they're an appreciated refresher from the Maison, which gets repetitive and tedious.

An "Are You Serious?" moment on the positive side would be me defeating Wattson with an Aron and a Grovyle. xD

A key point that the BF has over the Maison is variety. Rental battles among other modes mix things up and offer different challenges. Maison only offers singles/doubles/triples (iirc), and the option of playing with another person or an AI controlled character with that. That's not much variety.

also the first time i turned down the option to follow may or wally in game. i didnt second time and was wondering why. so much grinding undone as there was literally no reason to actually go into the desert. getting latios at lv 30 just out of the blue is a bit weird too.

This was something I was rather turned off by. The Unova games and XY were often stopping you and pointing you in the direction of the plot, but at least they weren't basically trying to zip you through without letting you check out the optional areas what there was to offer. ORAS having parts that teleport you makes it feel like they just want to get you through the game as quickly as possible, as opposed to actually exploring the region, which felt jarring.

And I didn't like that you are instantly given the Latios/Latias without a chance to say no, I didn't want to take it right away and I was right to worry about that because I got the one thing I would rather have had anything else than: an Adamant nature. Boo.

Lol that's the worst. Mine was Lonely. Sadly went straight into the box.

You can talk to steven, and he'll let you leave and come back later
...I left, bred some ralts for synch, and came back.

I actually ran into something mentioning how Synchronize works 100 percent on the Lati, so I left and got my Modest Kirlia from the box (yup I was lucky to already have one ready). The biggest issue was getting the right Iv's. I know it has 31 on Special attack. I think it has 31 on it's defenses too.


Anyways the removal of the berry blender was annoying. I spent 15 minutes talking to people to see if anyone in game knew where the darn Berry Blender was...only to find out that they removed it. Grr, now that I know why that and the Frontier were taken away I'm seriously made at GF now!

I think the reason behind the removal of the Berry Blender and why Pokeblocks are automatically made at any time now, is because some people don't have a lot of time these days and Game Freak felt they needed an anti-frustration method for making Pokeblocks.

Anti-frustration methods ruining features people loved is something we all have to deal with in future games I'm afraid.

 

[bobandbill]

Idk how accurate or valid a reason that is, but if you have time to beat a Pokemon game, then you have time to play a minigame to make Pokeblocks. =p

@BB Ikr?

Another think I was surprised about what when I wanted to see how Rayquazanite looked...only to see my Rayquaza was holding nothing...I then realized the implications of a Mega that can still use an item...

 

[Candy]

Why did you think Smogon banned Mega-Rayquaza from Ubers? :/

Let me just place another wtf moment when I learned that a certain event Pokemon is no longer event-exclusive.

 

[KostK2Boss]

Here's one I discovered just today. I'm putting it in the spoiler for those who haven't beaten the games yet:

Spoiler:

The music that plays for the Raikou/Entei/Suicune battle is the exact same as in Crystal. As in, they play the original 8-bit song during the battle. I don't care how lazy you might think this is, I still love it!

 

[Valkyrie Heart]

Am.. Am I the only one who thinks they made the credits like 5 times longer? o.o I swear, waiting for them to end was annoying. xD

Edit: Aaand the Safari Zone. The pokemon in there used to be cool. D: I get that it is free now, but..

And why did Japan get to have a shiny Jirachi event and we didn't. </3

 

[Pendraflare]

^ In BW and XY you had to sit through the credits first time, and here in ORAS they made them very well detailed, using flashbacks from your adventure, such as what you used against the aces of every Gym Leader, the villainous teams and the Champion. And it stays in every future time you beat the league, unlike with B2W2 where you only saw the pictures first time.

And maybe America will get the Jirachi event, it's a longshot to hope for but it can happen.

 

[Spinosaurus]

The credits made me realize I used Ninjask way more than I thought

Like even in the non-battle flashback it was always...there. I have no idea why. Hilarious.

That's the thing, I know they made them very detailed, but I wish you could at least skip over parts. Or, keep it as showing all those scenes only once. The option to see all of those details should be there, but that is what they should be- options. xD

Yeah, I am holding on for a Jirachi event. D: America needs Jirachi!

 

[morrison]

Yes they have a beat it up machine for the secret base that is usable and a berry blender but that is just decoration. Also the new berryblender has only 1 mix. rainbow. no way to do brown or purple blocks :(

Let me just say that my Skitty/Delcatty, despite being with me for the entire trip, never appeared in the credits 'til the end when I defeated Steven's Metagross. I find that funny as well.

It was also a joyful wtf moment when I managed to knock out that MegaGross with Delcatty as well. Everyone else fainted, and for some reason the weakest member of my party ended up being victorious against it.
