Does anyone else find these games boring?
 

I personally cannot stay with either of these games. I own both and around the time of the Safari Zone, I just get bored.

Anyone else gave these problems?

And maybe some solutions?


Sudeki March 25th, 2010 4:47 PM

Maybe not playing both of them? I mean there the same game, so playing both, especially at the same time is bound to make you bored. I mean half of the "Version Exclusives" can be found at the safari and other places, and version exclusives is pretty much the only difference.

the Version Exclusives aren't in the safari zone at all...some Pokemon are just in different places...and in the others in the safari...

the only boring part around that part in the game is just training up ur pokemon

Lt_Nite March 25th, 2010 6:04 PM

I agree maybe because you're playing two games, and maybe just me but the game didn't get too exciting until after the 8th gym or so.

I think these are the most fun games of the whole series. Diamond and Pearl bored me to death, it seemed like the same 5 or 6 Pokemon popped up EVERYWHERE. There's more variety in this game and I like it.
Pokemon that were hard to get in other versions (such as Scyther, Tangela and Lickitung) are available pretty early in the game. I like this a lot, it gave me a chance to go through the game with Pokemon I never had a chance to before.

Just stick with the game.
There are definitely some low points to the game, but you're forgetting that there are also high points later on, around the time Kanto is unlocked.

If the game had any low point, it was Kanto IMO. ._.

@OP: What were you expecting, a Pokemon game with a different storyline from the others? XD

I have to agree. I was really excited at first when I unlocked Kanto, but once I got there I was extremely bored. It's actually quite sad. I was beyond excited for Kanto.

jolteon. March 25th, 2010 6:29 PM

hm. I was having lots of fun, but training takes FOREVER in these games.

RaTTyOh March 25th, 2010 6:49 PM

Once I start to feel like like I'm stuck I set challenges for my self like -
Using only certain type, not evolving Pokémon ect.

When you can see the outcome of your labor by overcoming a challenge it's much more rewarding.
It's your game have fun with it and make cool choices. Pokémon is great cause you have these options.

...Yeah... -sigh- I was disappointed in Kanto beyond belief. I'm just plain frustrated with it. What caused the game developers think that they did a great job on Kanto? I mean, its like they finished Johto, and were like "Sweet! Finished!" and then someone reminded them they had to continue into Kanto... "Oh... well... crap... let's hurry it up and just make the gyms important or something..."

Charmander__ March 25th, 2010 7:30 PM

I only play HeartGold, so I'm not bored, I just need to get to Blackthorne or whatever....

BlueDartX March 25th, 2010 7:43 PM

The game was very amusing during my playthrough. I guess you could pace yourself if you are rushing and enjoy the in-game events or do one of those mono/type/baby challenges.

@spike that's exactly how I felt during firered, replacing johto with kanto and kanto with sevii islands.

ReachForTheMoon March 25th, 2010 7:47 PM

I definitely found that leveling up is pretty irritating near the end of the Johto section of the game... Then Kanto was very rushed. You can finish it very quickly depending on where your Pokemon stand, level-wise...

Overall, however I really think this game is great. I like it much more than I liked Platinum, despite it being a remake... and I really loved Platinum.

Then of course... like everyone else has been saying, I think it would help to not play two of the games at once! That seems to be overdoing it a bit!

ssjkiego March 25th, 2010 8:35 PM

your playing both? why? i mean how could you have the time to play both?

PiPVoda March 25th, 2010 8:53 PM

Yeah I got bored when training my pokemon, but the further you get in the game (like after 6th badge) it gets really fun again. The weird thing for me though is that I've had the urge to play Emerald, Pearl/Platinum, and Mystery Dungeon while playing SS..It's like i'm playing the game, and I'm interested in it, yet I can't get my mind off of those other games. Stop playing both games and don't train your pokemon as much and it should get better.

I get urges like that.lol

I can relate with being bored of the games since I'm not exactly playing my Aussie heart gold I got yesterday. I started it up and got bored.=P

Though I have an excuse in the sense that one the original GS weren't even my favourite Pokemon games since even they made me bored. So it's no surprise with HG and SS.

Second I had already played the japanese SS prior and so I'm all over the new factor entirely. So my Aussie HG I don't have any craving to play. For some reason I can only play through GS once and then have to give it a long break before I pick it up again.


I advise giving Pokemon a break if your getting bored and can't find anything interesting you in the games. You probably overdid it.

Play a different game then come back to Pokemon later.

That's what I'm doing despite getting HG yesterday. When you get the craving then you can pick the game up. There's no use forcing yourself.

However if you feel you'll gain more interest the further you play through then go for it.

.Gamer March 25th, 2010 10:55 PM

Looks like someone discovered pokemon for the first time, lol. They all have the same story line, and they all follow the same plot and these were just remakes. I admit it does get p slow at times but GSC were my favorite, so I <3 it.

CrashSmAshley March 25th, 2010 11:56 PM

I love this game. I played the original Gold Version and I still think it's fun! Best one yet in my opinion

That's how Kanto is like in the original G/S versions.

shanecdavis March 26th, 2010 12:33 AM

Personally, I am loving this remake! Like others have said, I am going to cringe when I get to Kanto. It was a blast getting there in GSC, but when you got there it was like - "this is it???". I was hoping HGSS would improve our Kanto experience, but apparently the developers didn't feel the need. The overall storyline of HGSS is undeniably the best and it is great being able to play it again.

Now what I find horribly boring and a waste of time was DP (never even bothered with Pt). Bad storyline, bad Pokemon, bad mechanics (although I admit the new battle strategy is warming up to me). Just not a good Pokemon game. Of course that just makes HGSS that much better and is easily the second best Pokemon game behind Emerald.

Sardonix March 26th, 2010 12:38 AM

I've never really found any of the games to be boring. Didn't care for Ruby and Sapphire much, though. By far, SoulSilver and HeartGold are the best. I did enjoy Platinum, though. I played it A LOT.

Ninja Caterpie March 26th, 2010 1:19 AM

The best part of HGSS for me is that I've never been to Kanto in Gold or Silver, meaning it'll be exciting anyway. =D

Polizard March 26th, 2010 2:50 AM

I think A lot of people some where deep down are disappointed in this game for the simple fact that it was hyped way to much. I never had that high expectations of it because to me jhoto was and still is a terribly executed game (mainly is the 2nd part of the Game) And that is why i can still enjoy it with out any problems

P.S
Dont take my comment as that i hate or even Dislike HGSS or GSC i love them. I just dont think their the greatest pokemon game unlike everyone else, most people only like it because it has two regions and that most fans that are still around today started the pokemon journey with either G/S ( i did not by the way RED all the way)
