Disappointments with the 5th Gen Thus Far?
Even though there are crazy new things they are introducing, there are some things I dislike.
I dislike that they kept the battle backgrounds bland. I was hoping for more than just a bunch of colors in a smudged line again. They have done that for many of the past games. So far that is my only problem, but I am assuming all of you people out there dislike different things than me. Tell me what you dislike, and why. |
My disappointment is that in all of the screenshots there was no pokemon walking around behind the trainer. What gives? I liked having my pokmeon with me in Heartgold and Soulsilver. \./

It made me think that perhaps this was the approach they would be taking in all future versions of the game. Maybe they are planning to add the feature later on, as it's still early in the development stage yet. |
I have small disappointments over it. Not much. But those small do add up for being a bit big.
For example, I think Pokabu could be designed much better. |
Unless it's just the screenshot's quality, the battle system looks cool, but then again it looks a bit pixely as well. I don't like the starters' sprites either; I like the bigger sprites of Gen IV, why are they shrinking 'em again? Could just be the screenshot and it's quantity though. :x
Other than that, I'm finding Black and White to be better than I thought it was going to be... so far. |
In the pictures that have come out about the pokemon center in the big skyscraper, I dont like that. I think it looks stupid, and I like the old alternative where its not in a city, and it actually has the feel of an adventure
|
I knew Nica would complain
Disappointments so far? I'd just fix the gauge meter a little. :) Other than that, B/W is looking FANTASTIC so far. :D |
How could you have disappointments with a game that's not even out yet, I don't even know..

I'm disappointed in the starters, the 3D-ness, and the fact that they seem to be doing the same old "new region, new pokemon" things. I think we have enough pokemon |
What's wrong with you people? :P Why are you being so negative about these games that - as R3D stated - are still half a year away? I for one can't wait for Black and White because it's something different, yet familiar at the same time.
Mind you, it looks like they kept the same battle animations (the actual attacks like Leaf Storm etc) |
None yet. Or at least, nothing I really cared about that much.

As Hiiro says, I really haven't found anything to complain about. It all seems pretty good right now.

No complaints whatsoever. I liked having my pokemon behind me too, but if it's not in the game so-be-it. I see it as a small trade for huge ones: animated pkmn in battles, 3D!!, older protagonists, etc.
|
The sprites for the main characters looked sucky. >.> They need to let you CUSTOMIZE your character for once. Also the graphics looked very crummy. I heard someone on a different forum say they reminded him of early PS2 3D games.

I, too, am annoyed at the 3D-ness. Pokémon was one of the few 2D games I enjoyed playing, and now it's been upgraded, and not necessarily improved.
Also, the protagonist sprites were dissapointingly generic. |
Quote:
This feature is so important, that if Black/White doesn't have it, it may make me not buy it. |
I can only complain about the Pokémon following you feature being left out. I like that feature in HG/SS, it's too bad it's not in B/W as far as we know. Hopefully they might do something about that...
|
I'm extremely disappointed with the starters. I didn't like Gen. 4's design overall, but with Zorua and Zoroark I got my hopes up again. The grass starter is fine, but the other two don't look promising (ESPECIALLY the otter).

Only disappointed thus far in how pixelated the back sprites are in battle. I can see that annoying me quite a bit. Hopefully this will either look better on a DS screen that's in front of my hands, or they do a better job with the actual pixel work.
I think everything else so far looks fantastic though. |
That they don't have the Follow-me Feature :( loved that
|
I think the games look pretty good but I still can't get over how there are no Pokemon following the main character in the screenshots and gameplay :(
|
Quote:
Or maybe Sinnoh.... These are good ideas!!!!!! And also revert back to 2D and the starters should be Torchic, Squirtle and Chikorita (Sarcasm) |
Snow ball head, fire pig? Its come down to this... -_-
|
Nothing bothers me about this upcoming generation, except how the screen shots we have seen so far don't feature the Follow Me feature as in HGSS. I really hope that comes back, even if its optional.
|
Only disappointment so far is that it's on the DS, because by now, the DS has pretty much reached the end of it's life-span. I'll be fine with it if they do it like Generation II, where Gold/Silver is designed for GBC, but can be played on GB, while Crystal is GBC only. Maybe they'll do something like have Black & White designed for DSi/3DS, while it can be played on DS, and then have later versions (remakes/3rd version) be DSi/3DS only.
I guess it doesn't really matter, since I won't be getting Black & White. I see no point, since the 3rd version is going to be much better. I NEVER play my Diamond version anymore, and I feel like it was a waste of $35 bucks because of Platinum. Platinum far exceeds D/P, and so with the 3rd version to Black & White. |
Mijamaru...... he is the worst water starter period>.

I have no complaints im pretty happy.
If follow-you was in there it should be optional i never liked it much ^.^ |

Oh, I hate pixelated sprites. I will also be pretty frustrated if they remove the Partner Pokémon. C'mon, they made 493 sprites, why don't make just 150 (aproximately) new? |
Only thing I am disappointed in is the color of the Water starter. I love the design, bu the color is just...ugh...
|
Quote:
And... why is it white? Why white? I thought it was an otter, not a snowman D: |
I know I'm just repeating what was already said, but I am very disappointed in the lack of Pokemon following you.

|
I dont like the way the new pokemon look and the 3D :|
|
im not that impressed overall with the starters, i just hope their evolutions are cooler. i love the new battle system, i was speechless when i first saw the clip, made me want to play now.

I realy don't have any dissapointments (yet) I mean the game has yet to even be fully revealed who knows whats in store |
Quote:
my complaint is that i felt they rushed this generation. i mean in the year they first released the new pokemon, they have the games? its cool but i wished they waited a bit longer so that it could come out on the next gen handheld. as somebody said earlier, the ds is coming to its end of its life-span. |
I don't think there is anything wrong with the 5th Gen so far. All the screenies have shown nothing but improvement since past games. I for one love the currently revealed Pokemon, the more in depth 3D, the two protagonists, the fact that Pokemon aren't static during battles and the battles in general. I believe that Black and White are going to be just as big milestones in the Pokemon franchise as any other game has been so far.
|
i really only have one complaint because i havent really seen enough of the games to know what i like and dont like. the only thing i dont like from the few screenshots we have got is that there are no pokemon following you. i have waited since yellow and they finally bring it back and now it looks like its gone again :( oh well the rest of the game looks amazing.
|
Thus far, the only disappointment I have is that a Pokemon has not been shown following the trainer, even though it is not 100% confirmed... the feature made the games feel less lonely and more personal.
|
I don't like the look of the water or fire starter, but that's about it. Their evolutions will probably be better anyways :)
|
Follow Me feature not being confirmed yet. Though, I'll understand if they don't have it. Besides that, Mijuramu. Seriously T__T
|
honestly, i just hope they don't make any annoying ones like that Piplup.
that martyr is a bad nuisance to children and should be thrown in prison for being created! *Let's Cross our claws and hope for the best.* |
i'm really bad-surprised... with the next 5th gen...appeared... they didn't make us satisfied...with this generation...i'm disappointed especially with the da back sprites in battle..... and the all the starters...... u know what.. when Zoroa and Zoroark published.. i really love it...i think the starters will be perfect as Zoroark...but i hate instead of happy...that's the negative point.. and about the positive point.. hmm.. i like when the character walkin' around the city.... i watch it via youtube.. it's cool.. okay.. i thnk overall is 60.....
|
whats up with the pokemon designs? they look like they were designed by six year olds, like many pokemon from gen 4 (bidoof XD). i like zoroarks design, the 3d, and a new region to explore. i also like the feeling of anticipation for these games coming up =D
|
Man, so much hatin' on the starters. :( I actually think they're all pretty cute.
I'm not going to pass judgment on a game that's barely been released, and I highly doubt there's a lot they could do that would make me go "This is a terrible terrible premise" short of, uh, getting rid of the whole...Pokémon part of Pokémon. Whether or not they implement the Follow Me feature isn't exactly game-breaking imo. Sure, it's cute, but it's not like it added a whole new aspect to the game that made it so much more interesting. |
Yeah, I like the starters too! :) But the water one looks like Piplup :P
|
I am terribly disappointed in 2 of 3 of the starter sprites.
I like the grass one, unbearably cute IMO. Though I'll get over it like I got over the look of Turtwig, Prinplup and *shutters* ugh... Carnivine... Though I would only truly be disappointed in this game if the main points of the game were LARGE CITIES. I like forests and routes and mountains and quiet villages as much as teh next person. AS WELL as I absolutely love cityscapes, but if it's all cities, no... middle of nowhere scenarios... I'll be sad. |
IMO Pokabu and Mijumaru are retarded.
I know who I'll be starting out with >.<;; Maybe their final evolution will make me think again about how silly their designs are. But that's just my opinion, not hating on others people love for the otter with a flacid penis on it's tummy Mijumaru and Pokabu. |
Quote:
Though me quoting it in big red letters probably doesn't help that much... I thought of another thing that would be disappointing... Guys... guys Guys. Guys listen. I have the worst ide guys listen I have the worst idea ever guys What if they'll put WINGS guys wings What if they'll put WINGS guys listen here What if they'll put WINGS... on their BACK legs. Can you imagine it, a flying type with wings on the back legs... Imagine a reverse Gligar... *shutters* |
I don't really got complaints but I don't like the way they've merged the pokecenter in a huge skyscraper, It kinda looks lame and unrealistic.
|
Quote:
They look totally out of place and unrealistic, but hey, they are noticeable and easy to spot from a distance, making it easy to heal up before a battle. (That and in real cities, you'll see restaurants and stores on the bottom floors of huge skyscrapers, they look totally out of place and unrealistic, but that's real life...) I guess that is what pokemon is doing now though... trying to be more realistic... They've even started trying to appeal to an older crowd, by making the protagonists look like teens. WHERE IS THE ACNE, I WANNA SEE SOME ACNE ON THOSE TEENYBOPPERS!!! In any case, Pokemon seems to be on a downhill slope, but who knows, maybe in a year and a half when this game hits the US I'll be one of those crazed fans willing to break into a gamestop just to steal a copy before release... >__> <__< |
I can't stand any of the starters.
They're probably gonna make far too many legends again. (I think there are now over 30 legendaries, they might come close to doubling that number in Gen 5) Surely they could have called them something better than Black and White, I think Ebony and Ivory would be nicer choices. Why... WHY IS THERE A POKEMON CENTRE ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR OF A HUGE SKYSCRAPER? Have somewhere to heal your Pokemon inside if neccecary, but they didn't have to ruin the design of the building by putting in a tiny out of place Pokemon center. Also, Team Rocket probably won't be making a comeback for this generation, and even if they did they'd probably be pushovers again... Remember when cacthing 150 Pokemon seemed like a HUGE task? It looks like those days are gone forever... |
Quote:
Mind you we have a McDonalds here and it rests at the very bottom of a gigantic skyscraper. The thing looks WAY out of place, aesthetically distasteful, BUT, it draws attention, and it is NOT a normal sight. A pretty good marketing ploy.... BUT... this is pokemon, Pokemon Centers are FREE, why would they need to attract attention? Because a small red building would in fact probably look more out of place by itself than with a big building on top of it. All those tall buildings towering over this small little Pokemon Center... It also makes it seem like there is more uses for those oh so plentiful blank buildings that serve no purpose other than scenery in the pokemon world. Like I said, heading downhill... lol |
my only problem is a tiny tiny small one, tsutajas sprite is a bit...
strange? what with the pointy nose, other than that its looking great, zoroark made me so happy! he reminds me of 3rd gen, my favourite gen, great enviroments, great pokes, great extras (like the animation of kyogre, groudon and rayquaza at the end of the storyline) and great characters! Wind |
So far there is not one thing I can find that I don't like. Maybe the Starters changed a bit but that's it. Good job Nintendo. :D
|
Mainly, I'm disappointed that they hadn't created new sprites for the old Pokémon (like Entei and Raikou are both the same), and I especially hate the moving backsprites...ugh...Street Fighter all over again!
Though nothing is bad enough for me to throw the games at the wall yet, I'm just disappointed with the fact that they haven't released more! |
My disappointment is that people can't wait for the official release of the game to judge things like battle backgrounds/music/etc; and completely fail to take into account that the screenshots/video are likely beta versions of what's to come. -,-

That too ^ That was the greatest feature of any game, as it felt like a more personal game.
Oh, and I'm also wondering about the heroine's hair...what is that thing? O___o |
The Girl needs a major hair change imo..
|
I think it's looking awesome thus far. ^_^ I've enjoyed following them from the R/B days, and they just get better with time. (Except R/S... They were "Eh.") Like the Grass starter. XD
|
So far, I'm quite disappointed with the designs of the protagonists. They look generic, unlike the other playable characters in Pokemon.
I'm not sure if they're supposed to look generic, but surely, I could just walk around my neighborhood and find anybody that would be dressed like them. |
I don't have any problems with the game so far. I love everything about it including the 3D, the starters, the fact that the trainers are older and how they based the region on another country. We've already seen some revolutionary content with the little information we have now.
|
Oh another thing that I completely forgot about before. I don't like the theme to it :S With the new region being more Industrial or w/e. I liked the 'poor' theme lol. Can't always get want we want can we :\
|
Ahem, I hope you guys do know that the sprites are animated.
|
My two complaints: The starter Pokemon are horrible, and the battle backgrounds are dull.
Everything else looks awesome though. |
The only real disappointing thing is that the game isn't in my hands yet. XD
If you want me to nitpick though, I think putting it on the DS as opposed to the 3DS is a huge mistake. With how ambitious this game is, I can imagine space limitations being a huge factor, such as perhaps being the culprit behind the loss of the pokemon following you feature, and may hinder other aspects including the number of new pokemon, the number of new attacks, etc... Also, if you stop complaining about pokemon designs, they will grow on you. I hated Turtwig and Piplup when they were revealed, but I've come to like them more than Chimchar, who I expected to be my favorite. Same applies to over half of the new evolutions added in GenIV. |

Most of them have some basis in Eastern mythology (IE Arceus is based on the Qilin, a mythical hoofed creature that shaped the universe). Even Dunsparce, it's based on a mythological animal in Japanese folklore. I think, though, other than legends/folklore, what else is there to base Pokemon off of besides animals? |
I don't really think im dissapointed with anything so far to be honest :D I am a bit sad about the follow me feature being scraped though :(
|
there's no follow me feature T_T
|
Quote:
Well, what else do you expect pokemon to be based on? even back in the glory days of RBY, the vast majority of pokemon were animalistic in nature. Nothing wrong with that...just a way of making the Pokemon world analogous to the real world. Besides, we only have five known genV pokemon. There could still be many more artificial and inorganic pokemon introduced. |

i think your forgeting that pokemarts are going to be inside pokemon centers now. |
Quote:
|
The general surroundings suck, to be honest. You can see where the tiles join, the walls are blocky, etc. Let's just hope it's a prototype! :)
|
Well, yea, it is a prototype, isn't it? I mean, if it wasn't and the game was completed fully, wouldn't we know more about it than we do now? But I actually like the industrial theme. I hope one of those skyscrapers is a division of the Silph Co. or Devon Co. that we can visit.
|
I don't have any major complaints, but I don't really like the way the new main charachters look. The girl looks like she's in dire need of some hairspray and the boy... I can't really find anything to say about him.. I just don't like him much. haha
|
I can't really say I've found anything disappointing about Black/White yet. But, it is only early days after all and I may just change my mind.
|
The only thing i find a little weird is the battleing but i don't hate it.
|
The new interface does seem a bit different, but I'm sure in time everyone will adapt like the previous versions. I mean, besides. It's not that different, really.
|
I hope that the Pokemon-following-you feature returns from HGSS as an option that you can turn on and off at your will. I wouldn't mind if the HGSS overworld Pokemon sprites were reused, because it seems kind of daunting to create such sprites for the previously released 493 Pokemon again, plus the who-knows-how-many Pokemon being introduced in Generation V. As long as they made new overworld sprite for the new Generation V Pokemon and add those to the 493 overworld Pokemon, I would be content. I'm surprised that Nintendo went through the trouble to make shiny overworld Pokemon variants as well. With that much effort invested for just 2 games, I hardly think that this particular feature is going to be axed in BW after all that work...
Other than that, no complaints so far! I'm kind of hoping that the "third version" (Gray?) comes out on the Nintendo 3DS to permit for even more expansive features... |
I hope theres an option for the 'Follow Me' to be turned off or on, else from what we can see, there is NO follow me feature :(
|
IMO the starters are the stupidest looking ever. No they are not cute, the green one looks so smug I want to punch it in the face.
Anyway yeah...what everyone else has said, 3d was a bad idea, too many pokemans. |
Quote:
Battle scene. The outline pixels do look a bit large because of how the backsprite is so close to you, but I think it would be easily look passed because of the quality of the sprites and animations. h t t p://w w w.youtube.c o m/watch?v=XBIv2Ql2W5s&feature=related (no spaces) My only complaint is the starters. So far the Grass Snake thing has grown on me and I've taken a liking to it, but the other two are just butt ugly. |

here we go with more complaining. Honestly I don't see how you could say Miju is the worst water starter when you don't even know it's moves, stats, or evolutions yet. Don't let appearance fool you. I'm gonna lmao if Mijumaru evolves into some kick ass evo and proves comments like these wrong. As a water lover I don't think there is one water starter that is the worst of the bunch. They all have their own flaws. Quote:

If you ask me, the pokemon center may look a tad bit off but it still fits in well. |
Uuh...Imo, I'd say...Yes >.>
Some Disappointments on the starters : -Tsutaja actually reminds me of a mix between Treecko and Cindaquil Cx -I also found the pokemons are looking more and more circular (but maybe it's just me XD) -The crowd : it's almost always the same men and girls we're seeing who run Cx Always the same man with the same luggage, and the way they run is weird (detail, I know x3) -And I'd rather play a 2.5D game like HG or SS then a weird 3D one -Also, I didn't like the starters at all...So what are the new pokemons going to be like ? Cx -I'd have prefered a "real" world to discover than just a city, too - The fact Sprites are animated is a good thing, would have been better if not too pixelated, in my opinion :[ Overall, I'm not sure weither I'll buy it or not, depends on what news we're getting in the coming days and weeks C: |
I don't like any of the starters. They look stupid!!!
