Annoying part from Platinum is catching Giratina. It took forever

Pokestick, good times. July 8th, 2009 1:07 PM

I prefer havin' her as #3. That's it. The only bad part is that her Pokémon actually got weaker than in the previous games, and she deserves more Pokémon... It's good that Game Freak took some courage and actually changed Gym leader order for once. (If you don't count the Kantoh leaders in GSC)

I hate how in platinum Fantina is still in the fith spot on the badge case. Whats with that!?

Brendonwii July 9th, 2009 2:01 AM

Why do people hate that you have to get the 3rd gym badge so much?
It was not hard or annoying.

Annoying part in Platinum...

Nothing, really. There was some light challenge with the game to be had compared to DP, but I did all good in the end. About the gym leader switcheroo, I could see how that would piss people off, but I knew beforehand, so I was cherry.

I recently defeated the third gym with ease. Nothing annoying really...

ClassicPokemon July 9th, 2009 3:53 AM

More challenge is what the Pokeon games always needed, although they still should be harder IMO. If you guys want to charge through the game with your only training being defeating other players (no wild pokemon) then just choose one of the 3 starter pokemon, use only that pokemon for the entire game up until the elite 4. At this point catch all the legendaries possible, buy some full restores and some revives and it's done. Your all struggling because you try to make a 6 man equal team.

I'll still use a 6 man team, because it's more fun, requires more strategy and is more of a challenge. Whats the fun in everything being easy?

the gym leader switch with fantina 3rd didnt piss me off. my gligar sweeped her :)

but the distortion world was annoying and overrated

Sweet Smoochum July 9th, 2009 12:18 PM

That wasn't annoying. It was actually less annoying. I got to battle Fantina sooner. It was better.

If you ask me, I think some of music in DP and Platinum was bleh. No offense to anyone who likes that rustic music. (I didn't like Eterna, Celestic, or Solaceon's music. :cer_no:)

Dasseo July 9th, 2009 1:26 PM

It threw me off a bit, but I always check the gym leaders of the town before moving on so it didn't make me waste any effort.

ShadowOfTheRebellion July 9th, 2009 5:25 PM

I guess shouldn't complain, because everything that bugged me was mostly my fault. The third pokemon I caught was a level 6 magikarp and decided to get it to a gyarados before training anything else, making everything else severely underleveled , and leaving it severely underleveled. That made it hard to finish my real goal of beating the pokemon league with the first 6 pokemon I got in-game (I also boycot legendaries and only get them to collect, I never use them.) Lucian was the hardest battle of the whole thing because i refused to use Giratina and had no type advantages whatsoever. I startd with 50 revives and 45 max potions...I finished the pokemon league with 2 revives left XD. But I can't really complain, those were all my fault.
P.S. Did anyone else notice that Wake was extremely hard?

Yes. I talked about this earlier in the thread... it was really annoying. Now a lot of the Pokemon that I started off with are about 15 levels under because I couldn't raise them all enough for the Elite 4, so I changed my 6 man team into a 3 man team of Torterra, Flareon and Giratina and it still took me multiple tries to beat Cynthia.

BTW...

I agree, but I liked the Eterna/Celestic music. The Oreburg (can't spell the damn thing) music and the ever present Pokecenter music annoyed the crap out of me. But the Cyrus Battle and Lake Trio Battle musics both kick ass. :P

Trio Of The Lakes. July 9th, 2009 6:36 PM

The most annoying part for me was definately ... without a doubt ... Candice's gym and her pokemon set ... if there is one thing my party is weak to ... it's Ice.

ChronicEdge July 9th, 2009 6:39 PM

>_> I knew nothing of this.

Thanks for the warning, I'll watch out for that when I start playing Platinum.

Yeah, I really hate legendaries, except for me uber Suicune from Colloseum, which I STILL don't use because I find them unfair. I never tried to fill a pokedex either, until Leaf Green, where I am only 16 pokemon away from finishing the Kanto Dex

PokeBabe July 10th, 2009 9:11 PM

I was suprised but kind of expected it. I just had a feeling that when i saw those two trainers blocking the path to Veilstone/Pastoria I was like oh i probabaly have to beat Fantina. I personally think she was a breeze with even low leveled Pokemon (Manaphy-lv24, Luxray-lv30, Monferno-lv27)
and it didnt annoy me quite too much. i actually thought it was a nice little twist :P

Destiny Bond July 19th, 2009 11:49 PM

The elite four, fantina and the master rank contests are all really annoying to beat. Especiall once you complete the national pokedex, the elite four goes harder.

mew² July 20th, 2009 5:08 AM

I can't say it was hard. The only thing is it confused me of which gym is what number. :s

Zero Avenged July 20th, 2009 5:32 AM

I liked it....I wasn't expecting the order to change and it was pretty cool

Archer July 20th, 2009 5:36 AM

The only battle that I found a problem was Cyrus in the Torn World. I was a little underlevelled, due to training 4 pokemon at an even rate through the game. I just wasn't ready to take Gyarados, and Houndoom was a pain, too. I would have done some grinding if it wasn't damn-near impossible to get out.

If you want a real challenge, try monotype runs. :cer_nod:

As strange as it sounds, I think it's actually possible to fight Blaine in fourth.

But on topic, I didn't find the fact that Fantina was in third annoying at all. Sure, it made things a lot harder, and I had to use a lot of items to beat her, but I still managed it with a party of an average level of 22.

Personally, I think the most annoying gym leader, for me, was Crasher Wake, since I strayed off my usual route and dumped my Luxio at Eterna City.

AlphaMightyena July 20th, 2009 7:02 AM

i don't like how the highest pokemon you can catch in platinum is megikarp, but at least you get to have a awsome lv. 100 gyarados without mutch effort.
