Poke-peeves or things that bugged you throughout D/P?
 
What are your Poke-peeves? Meaning:

Things or Pokemon that:
-Stalk you. [Geodude, Zubat... Bidoof.]
-Get on your nerves. [Above 3 Pokemon.]
-Have annoying cries. [I'm looking at you, Luxio, for making my ears bleed.]
-Are just plain stupid. [Wormadam, Lopunny, Probopass, Purugly, Bibarel, Regifail.]

Or... Moves that:
-You can't stand and constantly screw you over. [T-Wave, Sleep Powder, Hypnosis.]
-Give you annoying status conditions regardless of the small odds. [Ice Beam, Thunder Bolt, Body Slam.]
-Small patches of grass or areas that make Pokemon appear EVERY square you pass through. [Too many to list.]

Enjoy some friendly flaming of what you hate most, keep it PG everyone.

The only thing that REALLY got on my nerves was going through Mt. Coronet to get to Palkia and having to fight a Bronzong every other step I took! I could have run from them, but I really hate having to do that in a Pokemon game.

Chonlel48 June 1st, 2008 12:22 PM

Starly for the stupid cry... GOD I hate that one.

Anything that has a 100% to none chance ALWAYS Paralyzes me.

Something not on the list: Surf speed... and the poke encounters make it worse.

Hypntick June 1st, 2008 12:25 PM

Yeah the surf speed is awful. Other than that, nothing major, I always play with the sound off, so no annoying cries for me.

Wulf June 1st, 2008 12:35 PM

K, I hate the Pokemon I just faught at Battle Tower. He only used protect, toxic, double team, and confuse ray. He also had leftovers equiped.

solopy567 June 1st, 2008 12:40 PM

Haha, I remember that. I hated that because the stinkin' Bronzong were so hard to beat :D

wert5679 June 1st, 2008 2:59 PM

the only pokemon I hate is bibarel (once gave me a lot of trouble.) and jigglipuff. If i see any of the two I instant faint them with Hyperbeam. ( It's sastifying to faint them but still annoying to hear or encounter them one after the next and the next and so on....)

Luck June 1st, 2008 3:05 PM

The only thing that made me angry was some of the pokemon and stats, and places.
bronzong and probopass were ju8st plain ugly and were really weak.
They were only useful as a tank.
I really hated mt. coronet because you had to go through it a bunch of times, not only that but it was really long and tedious.
i wont even get started on the trainer sprites (The galactic grunts are so thin!!).

Matt-O June 1st, 2008 3:29 PM

I hate people who used Double team and Sand Attack. Battles that should take 10 seconds last five minutes. Then there's the ever present people who use Level 30 Wurmples. Get yourself a better Pkmn!

Mitchman June 2nd, 2008 12:02 AM

Damn surf! Well ifwere talking about pokemon I have to say bidoof overall killed me along with bronzor although its a good part of my team. But nonetheless stupid frikin surf.

Postman June 2nd, 2008 1:00 AM

I hated the oceans and caves when i was completing the game

But what i really hate now is my item bag xD
I have to look for items and it takes like 10 minutes just to find it because i cant find it

auragirl June 2nd, 2008 8:36 AM

i can't stand the surf speed and the annoying bike music. i always turn my sound off when i have to use a bike...

and i also hate how the NPCs contantly spam confuse ray! GRAAH!!! i swear i just want to ******g scream whenever i have to fight an enemy with confuse ray!

Peanutassailant June 2nd, 2008 9:02 AM

the only thing that has really annoyed me is... kricketunes cry.

worst cry nintendo have ever put into a pokemon game

Mitchman June 2nd, 2008 9:08 AM

Dude you never heard skunky have you?

Glaceon_ June 2nd, 2008 9:12 AM

The one thing that bugs me the most is the surfing speed, in comparison to Generation III; its really slow, and takes a long time to get to where you want to be; even with Repels in effect.

Kricketune's cry, as recently mentioned, also annoyed me, and I tend to try avoiding places where they congregate. Another would be Bidoof's and Bibarel's cries; more specifically Bibarel's.

The change to contests was interesting, but I didn't really like it too much. Though the dancing is fun. XD;;

I'll come back with more, later..

Matt-O June 2nd, 2008 11:45 AM

You like the contests? I entered my Gabite in one just to give it a try, then half way through decided it was animal cruelty and turned my game off. I hate the contests.

Glaceon_ June 2nd, 2008 12:05 PM

The Contest Moves Round is the only REAL good part of the contests, which is why I preferred the ones from Generation 3, since it didn't make use of the little things, such as dressing them up and making them dance, which was never even a part of the concept, before.. because in general, though its an interesting part of Contests, dancing isn't that good. I tend to laugh at my opposing Contest Entrants. XD

Not even the Anime (to my knowledge) has the Co-Ordinators dressing their Pokemon up for Contests, and the Anime isn't all that appealing, in my opinion. The anime, in some strange twist of fate, actually has the right idea. :o

GKS June 2nd, 2008 1:48 PM

I will just say Geodude, Zubat and Tentacool and leave it at that. Those things are in every single hand held Pokemon games. I actually catch Zubats cause their final forms pretty good. Tentacool could turn into a good Pokemon too.

Crystal Shaymin June 2nd, 2008 1:52 PM

stupid bronzors...Met one today and it spammed me with confuse ray and hypnosis.

i

Archeopterix June 2nd, 2008 2:06 PM

Just a few things that come to mind:

- The usual event-only pokemon kind of bug me... since there's three this time.
- The Surf speed is too slow.
- Why not make it a rounded 500 pokemon?
- The Kanto evolutions took too much warming up to to become comfortable with.
- Stealth Rock.
- The myriad of stipulations that now surround battling.
- Dialga's cry. This pokemon represents time, it should have a mighty cry. It sounds like a dying bird.
- No more Dive or Whirlpool HMs.
- Not enough regions accessable.

Starlees June 2nd, 2008 2:09 PM

Splash is by far the worst move ever invented, when you are battling with wild pokemon or trying to train up a Magikarp.

o.necromancer.o June 2nd, 2008 6:50 PM

A lot of things bugged me for example the generic pokemon which include zubat,geodude,tentacool, ect.. Also another thing that really annoyed me was that good pokemon could be obtained through sweet honey trees but after you put the honey on the bark and wait for a REALLY LONG TIME you would find something stupid like a wurmple and so you start over.

Idiot! June 2nd, 2008 7:14 PM

Insert random filler here.

BobberyJo June 2nd, 2008 10:29 PM

The overall game speed. I played Firered for the first time in a year, and it seemed really fast.
