Very true Yoshikkko!
It also took me a while to realize Cheren was a boy xD |
I haven't played it yet but that doesn't mean I can't discuss!
Things I hate: - Gyms being in fixed order unlike HGSS Kanto Gyms - Pressing B when you need to run - Garbodor - Trainers having level 60+ Pokemon after National Dex - Having to challenge the Elite Four twice - Archeops' ability |

Kanto (this is the only one I'm doing since Johto is just a long version of Kanto): Can't fight Viridian until you fight the other 7. Can't proceed past Pewter until you beat Brock. Can't proceed to Vermilion until you beat Misty, Blue, and meet Bill. Can't fight Lt. Surge until you go on the SS Anne and waste a move slot on Cut. (At least in B/W they do this in the very beginning, instead of making you screw over the Pokemon you might have invested in from the moment you caught it. The average player won't use Patrat, Purrloin, or the monkeys once they get their badge.) You have to have x amount of Pokemon so you can get Flash (or anything else from the Aids) unless your awesome like me and can navigate Dark Cave without it You have to deal with Team Rocket before you can fight Erika, Sabrina, Giovanni. Can't fight Koga before: beating Team Rocket in Saffron to get the Silph Scope, navigating Lavender Town's funeral tower to get the Pokeflute, waking up Snorlax, going to the Safari Zone and getting the Warden's dentures, going back to get Surf if you ran out of time. In B/W, sure Cheren, Bella, and Plasma slow progress down a bit, but they're far less invasive in overall progress. The side quests and backtracking is done mostly towards the end of the main story. Can't get to Blaine without having gone through the burned Mansion and the cave on the way to Cinnabar. Quote:

2nd complaint: You don't need one because 1) you can catch all version exclusives in the wild, 2) it'll be practically useless because earlier generations can't be obtained before the national dex, 3) the older Pokemon can be found in just a matter of backtracking. No need to make a new area just to house 493 that you won't get to use until later. 3rd complaint: It's not like the game is forcing you to participate, so why do you care? To your edit: No, you just need to start using an emulator and a 649 hacked version. Quote:
The only thing that annoys me a bit about B/W is the post game. Why do I have to fight the E4 again at 60+? N was the champion, so shouldn't I be the champion? Nintendo could have killed 2 birds with one stone and let me get both of those game requirements out of the way at the same time. |
To be fair Sooyun, I appreciate your defense of my favorite generation but a lot of the complaints that you're arguing against are valid. For example the pressing B to run, not all of us have an AR or want to use one. Same with Archeops, it's reasonable to like a Pokemon but dislike its ability without wanting to hack the game. If the complaint requires a hack to fix, then it's a reasonable complaint, and most of your solutions were merely "hack the game, play it on your computer, or play a modified version of it".

I agree on your opinion of the no having Pokemon beforehand thing, though. It's not the same as things like no Pokemon following you or the Musical not having enough features, things that seem like they should be fixed. It's something that they actively chose to do for a reason, and a good one I think. :3 |

Not much irritates 'lil ol me. Oh wait, one thing does.
Tornadus. It's like trying to catch Latias/Latios/Mesprit all over again. -_- |

I think it stinks the feature from HeartGold and SoulSilver was removed that let you have your first slot Pokemon out of the ball walking with you. I liked the interactivity with your Pokemon. I'd like to see more of the emotions and interactivity with one's Pokemon in the games in general.
I also hope someday Pokemon battling become more like Super Smash Bros. style, except on a full 3D field rather than only being able to move forward and backward. I'd like it more freestyle, like the anime. I think the PokePark games are something to build off of, though the animation in the handhelds doesn't have to become 3D-style like the PokePark games. I also wish you could visit the other regions, but then you can only cram so much into a little game cartridge. |

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are all based upon real life Japan and are all located closely to one another. The only reason Kanto and Johto can be visited within one game is because they're part of the same landmass. Sinnoh and Hoenn are 2 separate islands. Spoiler:
Unova/Isshu is a region based loosely on bits and pieces of the US. According to bulbapedia: It is far away from the four other large regions. Spoiler:
People really need to give up on having all X amount of regions in one game. If we had all the regions, we'd probably get annoyed after a while because each new region would require a reset back to being a new trainer (a la Ash's Pikachu losing to a newb Snivy). Plus, the games aren't set in one time frame. Kanto and Hoenn take place at the same time. Sinnoh and Johto both take place 2 years after. Unova has yet to be determined, but based on the former Rocket grunt, I'm betting it takes place a year or two after Johto/Sinnoh. Sorry for digressing. Hope I didn't derail the forum's main topic, OP. Just had to say something after seeing 'Y no all regions?' for the billionth time. It happens for every new handheld! I would say that annoys me about BW (and the other gens): Generation 2 fans wanting the 2 region format. Maybe if we're lucky, the 6th and 7th gens will have regions based on South America and/or Canada and they'll be connected to Isshu. Then will people stop complaining (temporarily)? |
The level gradients are huge. I have friends that just stopped playing after the elite four the first time. I'm not a big fan of insane grinding in any game, so this made me die a little inside when I had to. Also, the amount of legendaries was just reuniclus ridiculous. Thats more of a personal issue. But whatever. No pokemon following me either. I fell in love with that mechanic in HG/SS. I was unhappy when it didn't carry on.
But this didn't stop me from buying 1 copy of black (for breeding and competitive battling) and one copy of white (for in game shenanigans) I liked the game. But there were things that could have been done better imo. |

I got over the fact that the feature of having your Pokémon follow you wasn't included in the games, so that didn't really irritate me. One thing that did irritate me was how quickly the storyline went by. Every part went by rather quick, from first meeting Ghetsis and Team Plasma in Accumula Town to already foiling N's plan by the Elite Four (which seems like a long time but, it wasn't really). It seemed like there wasn't that much to do around the cities/towns which didn't make the game as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

The only things that annoyed me was not having my pokemon following behind me. Its a simple mechanic which was loved by so many and has no reason why it wasn't continued.
Also, just having to use the HM's again like cut & strength. They just annoy me. it's a waste of a pokemon's move set or even makes a pokemon a HM pokemon. I understand you need a HM to progress in certain parts, a next area or whatever but its still a nuisance. And not entirely impressed with the gen. Copy paste edit jobs, such as Pidove, Timburr and Roggenrola. To obviously similar to Pidgey, Machop and Geodude etc. |

I found there were not enough unique pokemon before the elite 4. I couldn't beat them so I wanted to go back and catch some while grinding.. and.. well I think I just about caught them all :/ So it's boring ;_; So different from HeartGold..
Oh and I HAAATEEE The pokemon boxes!!!!!!! |
I don't like the fact that when you go to use 'Fly" it doesn't show which Pokemon is using it before the shadow flying thing takes you to where you chose to fly to...
in SoulSilver at least it did show which Pokemon used Fly before the shadow flying thing took you... which makes it easier to picture me riding that Pokemon |
They're not that big of a deal.. just so annoying.
❤ The time it takes going into buildings and starting battles with NPC's. ❤ When I'm using the Dowsing MCHN, I have to cancel it just to open the menu and always forget to use the item again ❤ All the times you have to battle Cheren and Bianca.. ❤ I can't get Pikachu as my starter Pokémon. |

You don't want to be forced to catch the legendary Pokémon, but you want them to be obtainable earlier. That would mean you would want to catch the legendary Pokémon anyway. Quote:

However, for point III... How can you consider Sinnoh boring? It's the region with the most stuff to do, really. Quote:

I wish the storage box management interface was a bit more streamlined, but other than that I have no qualms.

* Pokemon sprites looks really bad...
* Some of the new pokemon are U-G-L-Y D: * Loads between entering houses |
It bothers me how the ice type pokemon feel like the developers almost forgot them and just stuck in a few in a last minute decision. Some of the sprites could stand to be better (I'm looking at you Beartic).
