Bottomless bags are tough to dig through
 
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that in DPP you no longer have a PC storage for items, and instead you have to make Pokemon hold them just so they aren't flooding the bag? I hate that it takes forever to scroll down to the bottom since my bag is always so full of stuff. Plus, in DPP there are many more items than in previous gens, so that's more stuff to crowd up your bag.

Does anyone else find this a bit silly?

La Foudre April 5th, 2009 10:12 AM

I agree completely. It's so annoying, when I just want a Hyper Potion and I have to scroll all the way down.

Nitrous Oxide April 5th, 2009 10:13 AM

Touch screen or use select to scroll. It's not that hard. :D

PKMNTrainerAndrew April 5th, 2009 10:17 AM

I hate it because I ussally have a amount of Items

PHC April 5th, 2009 10:26 AM

Yea, i pick up every pokeball i see,and crap i store in my pc lol.
but they made more room so i guesse its ok

There's a thing called the "Select Button".
You can use it to drag important items up to the top of your bag for quick usage.

Yeah, I've got things like Max Repels up top, but since I'm frequently switching out the hold items my Pokemon have, they're constantly bunched at the bottom. That's when it gets annoying to scroll. All the other stuff is kept organized.

The touch screen doesn't really make the scrolling any faster, for me at least.

Silhouette April 5th, 2009 11:15 AM

I agree. I always get annoyed by this. Sometimes I'll need something in the very bottom of my bag, and forget what I was looking for when I get halfway down XD

Haza April 5th, 2009 11:20 AM

At least u dont have to delete things and you can carry every item. Just drag the most important things to the top.

Valeran April 5th, 2009 11:33 AM

The touch screen scroller makes it scroll the wrong way for me more often than not.

The lack of item PC was the first thing I noticed aabout this Gen, while annoying, I don't recall using the PC back in R/B/Y and G/S/C much aside from storing the Exp Share, since it was just annoying back then.

Milke April 5th, 2009 11:38 AM

I LOVE the bottomless bag. In Sapphire the limited bag storage really annoyed me. The only thing I used the PC Storage for was to keep heart scales safe. =/

Kaoruneko April 5th, 2009 11:39 AM

I really dont know...see using the ball on the touchscreen is faster, but i dont like using that so i would say the storage in the last game was great...though i always filled my bag up too fast. it depends how far i am in the game, now that i beat it i would love to have a storage unit.

PokéMartin April 5th, 2009 11:59 AM

Limitless bag is awesome! I get so annoyed in Emerald when I find an item but my bag is full so I have to use something just to pick the new thing up.

Scrolling takes about 3 seconds... don't be so impatient! ;)

.Ozymandias April 5th, 2009 12:04 PM

It really does annoy me! But I generally use the touch screen to scroll or move a useless item near the top and move it down, seeing as that scrolls so much faster.

Lycaeus April 5th, 2009 12:12 PM

I agree. I didn't know they had taken this feature out until I tried to store a bunch of items in my PC yesterday :/
I hope they bring it back in the next Gen

Espeon Master April 5th, 2009 1:19 PM

I like the bottomless bag, but it would be cool if you could take some stuff out and put it in the pc too. I think they should do a combination.

Wulf April 5th, 2009 1:26 PM

I like having a bottomless bag and all, but the thing that really badgers me is how long it can take to find one item that's at the bottom of your bag.

.Eevee-Chan April 5th, 2009 1:27 PM

Yeah kinda,it gets annoying,but it saves time so you don't have to leave an item on the floor and rush to go get it back after you deposited/sold some.Using the select button saved loads of time from digging/scrolling up and down.

Glaceon_ April 5th, 2009 1:47 PM

I actually much prefer the bottomless bag given to us in D/P/Pt. Not only do I not have a mess of items in my PC, it allows me to have the items I might need on-hand all the time. The only thing that should have been improved with Platinum is the normal scroll speed. Though you do get a faster scroll speed by pressing select, anyway.

Tip for those who are complaining about item placement/having to dig for items: move the items you're more likely to use to the top of the list. Makes everything so much easier. ^^

The Fallen April 5th, 2009 1:51 PM

It's a plus and minus type of thing. It's more so on the plus for me because I have everything I've ever gotten with me at all times. Granted it may take a few seconds to get to the exact thing I want, but at least I know I have it. Were as if I still had the option to put things in the PC I'd lose track if I put it in or not, or even if I ever got it.

Inferno1 April 5th, 2009 2:02 PM

It dose not take that long it dosnet bother me that much what bothers me more is i can never rember if i have an item

Amaruuk April 5th, 2009 2:43 PM

As I've said before, I do keep useful things at the top, but I'm always switching out hold items, so they get stuck at the bottom anyways. That's the part that bugs me.

In the old games, I never had a problem with running out of room as I always put anything I found and didn't need right away in the PC. The bag being bottomless is nice, though, and I wouldn't change that, but it'd be nice to have the PC too since I don't need all my items all the time.

pokefan345 April 5th, 2009 5:22 PM

that does stink that there isn't an item storage. not that i used it much in the old games.

Ikitsumi April 5th, 2009 5:40 PM

@[email protected] I don't like how it's much slower going down the bag and faster coming back up the bag. Using the Pokeball is what I usually do, but if I go too fast, I get stuck switching between two items. DX

WriteThemWrong April 5th, 2009 5:58 PM

I don't really see the whole point of a bottomless bag, its not like there is a lot of items worth using, especially when you are rich. Full heals, full restores, revives, and vitamins are all that I really care about when I get enough money. And a lot of items become useless after awhile, like honey.
