~*!*~BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS IN THESE GAMES~*!*~
This is the thread where you post your most disappointment moments in the game.
I'll start off: I've raised many of my Pokemon from Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal and of course I was very happy when I heard that there were new games coming out. I was going to trade those Pokemon to the 3rd generation but they forgot all about 1 and 2 generation and I couldn't trade because of that. put in your most disappointment moments :t354:TG |
GSC's bad levelling system. I don't know what else to say on that. You just know that it's bad.
|
3 things.
The TMs. The 3 punching moves are inferior to Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice beam. And a headbutt TM? Useless if not for the headbutt trees. The level curve. You fight level 16 pokemon after defeating 5 gyms. I hope that is enough explanation. And the disgusting excuse for Kanto. Mt. Moon was butchered, Rock tunnel was butchered, Cerulean Cave was taken out, as well as viridian forest and the seafoam islands. A volcano blew up in Cinnabar(it still blew up in HG/SS sadly) and took out everything except for the damn PC. Do I need to say more? |

Another thing that annoyed me about these games were the dungeons. GSC probably some of the worst dungeons in any Pokemon game. Caves had high Pokémon encounter rates making getting lost very costly. They had a plethora of gimmicky HM puzzles and were near impossible to navigate. Most caves also have very limited vision unless flash was used. |
Personally, I don't really like the Gyms. Strange names.. except for Jasmine?

And.. um.. the biggest letdown was the Kanto part. What Luck said. ~DB |
I was a bit sad about some of the places in kanto to , but I still like havign kanto in it especially with a working electricity plant. wasnt sad about mount moon or rock tunnel since they were a pain in the butt in thenoriginal versions for me anyway xD
lol I think my biggest disappontment was just that my quagsire couldnt use waterfall . |
I loved the whole game the only real let down was not being able to catch Mewtwo,Mew or Celebi despite countless rumors.
|
My biggest disappointment is the glitches.

Yeah, the leveling issue is the biggest for me. I was hoping that some trainers besides champions and Gym Leaders would be leveled up in the remakes, but I looked at the final Rocket Executive's roster and wept. Headbutt was probably the most useful TM in the game for me. It was the only decently powerful normal-type move that you could teach a Pokemon. I guess Kanto doesn't really seem that bad to people who played GSC before ever playing RBY. After playing it, I was glad Mt. Moon was changed from the giant, empty, nothingness that was in the original. Less walking = less zubats. The fact that they fixed the downs-syndrome music compositions that were present the the Generation 1 games helped too. (Looking at Lavender town) |

The low level was annoying, after the 7th Gym all the Pokemon were still low level, then you walk into the Blackthorn Gym and everyone has a powerful Dragonair. But you could just Ice Punch all of them. |
Everything about Kanto.
And the ridiculous leveling curve. There is no reason why I should have to fight lvl 18 wild pokemon when I'm in Mahogany Town. No reason at all, because it makes Pokemon difficult to level up (Though it does give their stats a workout, I must admit) |
Well I dont think the levelling curve was anybetter in Red and blue , I mean , you got lv 20 -30 pokemon in the victory road. there was no idfference to gsc , which at least had an average level 30 ish pokemon in there.
|
The fact that ceurlean cave was leveled and You never got to hear about mewtwo...
What happened to him? |
How easy both games were. When I try to play the classic old games I put it done because I just don't get into the old things because of the shocking features of some of the games. Also in Blue/Red/Yellow it was really easy to catch the legendary pokemon, all you have to do is put it to sleep and throw a ball at it.
|
Aww, I wasn't disappointed in these games at all! I was a little happy kid having the time of my life playing them~
The most disappointing was no Celebi for me... that little shrine in the forest drove me crazy, I wanted my Celebi! I thought I'd finally get it when I bought Crystal, but nooo, not even then... XD Otherwise, I wasn't disappointed at all! ^^ |
Quote:
Boney used Ultra Ball! You missed the pokemon! ^This x10 = me: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!" But yeah, while GSC are my absolute favorite in the series. Kanto, the weak level curve, and the fact that GSC also has the weakest elite 4 + champion out of all the games (especially Koga, he's a joke) was kind of disappointing. |
No Celebi, even with glitches lol. Also not being able to trade to 3rd gen (though I understand why you can't) and the fact that my cartridges died :(.
As for stuff in the games themselves... I honestly didn't find the levelling as annoying as most people, but I didn't like how some Pokemon were only available very late in the game (hello Larvitar and Misdreavus), and nighttime-only Pokemon was always annoying because I'd messed up the clock and night started around 11 pm instead of 8 pm, so I was almost always sleeping at the time. |
Quote:
Also, the fact a MAGNEMITE can run away is strange. Same with Unown...guess they just don't like us. |

The fact that your gamesave can go "WTF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!" Every moment.
|
How there is 8 gyms.Why don't they ever have more without........the gyms in general disappoint me come to think about it.

Like others have mentioned, the level curve was annoying (as I noted after beating Lance, the first member of the Elite Four in RBY had higher-level Pokémon than him), but the way that Kanto was watered down made me sad. ]: All those dungeons I was hoping to re-explore, including Silph and the Pokémon Tower were either watered down or closed off. >_<
|
The ones that disappointed me the most were:
-Leveling curve - It wasn't such a problem at first, but once I entered Mohagony Town I noticed how the Pokemon were in the 20's. Past that it was pretty bad. -Watered-down Kanto - I didn't mind the smaller Mt.Moon and Rock Tunnel, probably because I disliked them in the original, but Viridian Forest and Cinnabar town were better before. Lack of Cerulean Cave didn't help. I also disliked not being able to battle Giovanni, but they fixed that. :D |
Kanto.
Poor Mewtwo was taken out! And the lack of legendary Pokwmon in kanto. NONE. Not even Mew.... Thank goodness it's in Heartgold and Soulsliver! And no villian's or anything in Kanto! |
