Don't you love when games seem to cheat.
 
I had a adamant lv20 grovyle who got 1 hit ko'd by a lv17 Machop using Karate Chop with crit.

After it got 3 more criticals and how many do i get. Zero. :(

Personal Opinion - Hoenn Fails Badly!
Who else thinks that out of curiostity?

Edit: I was battling with a torchic and used focus energy but my opponent got the crits.

oh the irony

I do hate it when the game seems to have everything work out perfectly sometimes, And its just the way the dice roll, nothing you can do.

AliceBlaze March 10th, 2010 1:57 PM

I hate it when gym leaders and elite 4 heal their pokemon when their health is in the red. They just like take advantage of your pokemon's PP.

I've recently bought an Emerald, and it's starting to piss me off. I whittle down a Pokemon into an area where the trainers won't heal them and I can still kill 'em in one hit, and what happens? I get a critical hit.

It's happened about seven times in a row, and I'm really starting to get angry. I haven't gotten a single critical hit when I need one. :(

I hate it when people think critical hits have something to do with the game. It's not just because it's RSE. RBY had critical hits out the wazzu. I see where you're coming from though. Can't say it hasn't happened to me.

Anyway, the game does cheat you in Battle Frontier a lot. I can't think of anything major at the moment, but there's certain times where your opponents are getting all the luck. Ain't too fun.

Karate Chop has an increased critical hit ratio.

if the luck is on my side, i like it. but if it doesn't, i hate it.

@^
yea, it seems you're right :D

Nikorasu March 11th, 2010 8:54 AM

I know what you mean. At first you have it all planned out and your winning. Next thing is that you get confuse rayed and you can never hit :(

I never minded this, but what I do mind is how they can use those items without it taking up a turn like it would for the player.

Mr Marine March 11th, 2010 11:20 AM

its all random,cant help it.......

RTHookers March 11th, 2010 11:49 AM

This is why I keep a savestate.
What I really seem to hate is that Pokemon, despite not being a Hack N Slash game of some sort, can turn into a button mashing experience when your Pokemon just dominates the other.

Sydian March 12th, 2010 7:18 PM

Didn't notice this before, but this kinda applies to all games. :|

I heard Emerald had a bad RNG compared to other games. I can't post any English sources though.

I hate it when my level 100 Charizard can't beat a level 16 Poochyena in one hit with Fire Spin. I know it's not the most powerful move, but it seemed to do a substantial amount of damage when battling the Elite Four...

There's a video of an NPC'S Walrein in Battle Tower (of course) using Sheer Cold 3 TIMES IN A ROW
with a Quick Claw activating EACH TIME! The player didn't even get to move.
That was ridiculously rigged.
But yeah, the Battle Tower does not earn the name "Hax Tower" by chance....

@RoxasauceKOD:
I don't know about those Critical Hits though.....Like someone said, Karate Chop
has increased Critical Hit ratio.

Nightrider434343 March 15th, 2010 8:06 PM

I remember when I was playing a friend's platinum version, and I was in the battle Hall(I think that's what it is called...) Anyway, I was battling a Touros, and it used frustration 3 times in a row, fainting every single one of my pokemon. Fear the frustrated Touros!

RoxasauceKOD March 18th, 2010 3:04 AM

o_O thats scary

angry tauros i wouldnt like see that. My XD ursaring will stop it though with return

love will win against anger.

SquirtleGirl March 18th, 2010 9:00 AM

When your level seventy something can't take down something at level thirty in one hit because of a type disadvantage ¬¬

-_- exactly happened to me also i hate that.

.Fenris March 19th, 2010 1:22 AM

I hate when you just suddenly realize you have a low-level Poke that can murder the other team if it was level-equal.

awsomedude30 March 19th, 2010 8:12 AM

lol if you think thats bad once i got 10 freezes in row from that stupid ice beaming dusclops the elite 4 member has

Roxasabridged March 19th, 2010 8:33 AM

When one Sand-attack stops you from hitting anything ever again, and sand-attacking the AI six times seems to BOOST their accuracy...

Rokusasu March 19th, 2010 8:37 AM

Fantina was cheating when I fought her in Plat. last night. ): She confused me with goold ol' Confuse Ray, and I confused her Mismagius with Water Pulse. Guess which one of us kept hurting themselves with confusion? x_x; Then the darned thing kept evading Stun Spore and getting Critical Hits with Psybeam. Did not like.
