I really didn't like how the Surfing speed was slowed down from Advance.

Other than that, I'm okay with the game, other than the fact that they dropped the Battle Frontier and waited until Platinum to reinstall.

I'm at the nothing to do stage now, and I badly want to trade all my good Pokemon to my sister's Pearl game and start a new game...

Speaking of trading I just traded a ton borrowing my friends ds from pearl to diamond and the trade animation takes to long lol it so exagerated all the time exchanging two pieces of data shouldnt take long
trading almost a box full of pokemon wasted a lot of my time today....

1. Surfing Speed. It makes Surfing in the first and second generations look like you're riding a jet-ski. As for the third generation, you may as well be flying an airplane when you compare it to surfing in the fourth generation. I loved the surfing speed in the third generation; I was pretty appalled by the sluggishness of surfing in the fourth generation.

2. Saving a lot of data. I get this message a lot, even if I've only been playing for about five minutes since the last save. What major thing could I have done in the last five minutes that made the game take so long to save?

3. Secret Bases. I liked being able to build a Secret Base in a tree, cave wall or bush, back in the third generation. The interiors of the rooms all seemed to have a unique shape. In this generation, it's pretty boring having to build your base underground.
Plus, I can't get rid of the rocks in my base. Apparently, I need to connect with someone over Wi-Fi to do it, which I don't see happening anytime soon. I don't have access to a Wi-Fi connector or a wireless connection, and no one I know owns Diamond or Pearl - so I'm stuck with the rocks. Great.

4. Having to tote around a ton of HM-using Pokemon. I have three HM slaves - Starly, Geodude and Budew - and I hate having to drag these guys around on long expeditions (i.e. the trip up to Mt. Coronet's peak). It means I have to deposit one or more of my good team members in the PC to make room for my HM slave(s). It seems there are HM-requiring obstacles everywhere you go.

5. I'm one of those people that dislikes the absence of a "back" button on the Pokétch. It's annoying having to flip through a while pile of useless aps to get back to the digital clock.

6. I actually wasn't aware until recently that the item bag had infinite space. However, I was getting suspicious of something like this being true, having made it through seven gyms, collecting a ton of items, and not getting the "no more room for items" message once. That said, it's irritating having to scroll down for ten minutes to get to the item I want.



I actually didn't find the whole "battle with Palkia" thing annoying. The game lets you save right after beating Cyrus, provided you don't immediately march on ahead to face Palkia/Dialga. As long as you've packed plenty of healing items and Ultra Balls (or whatever kind of Poke Ball you prefer using), you should be all right to face the legendary Pokemon.

It will do this after every time you move pokemon in or out of boxes, or catch one. I guess it involves a lot of data for each pkmn to be moved around or something.


I didn't really hate a lot about this game, only about how you have to import pokemon from other games, I wish they were all on this one. That, and how many times you need to talk to someone underground to get spiritomb, jesus!

Personally the whole lack of things to do after the E4

all you get is 4/5 new routes
and the ability to catch more different pokes
and not much else

i wish they could make a game that encorperates the 4 different reagions from each of the generations and make a long story line which forces you to go through each of the leagues, personally i think this would be best because then you have so much more to explore and the game lasts longer .... ive found myself compleating the games in a few days now

The dreaded snow, it gets so frustrating walking at like 0.00005 km a year xD

Also the fact that getting to route 224 is SO long xD. Have to go through a cave as well xD

I always wished for the same thing but I wonder if the DS or any future nintendo handheld could handle all of that anytime soon

2 reigons could be done easily, 3 could be done too. not sure about 4 but it would be cool seeing the other regions in D/P style rendering. As for lack of things to do, Platinums battle frontier looks promising.

Saving a lot of data really annoys me, it didn't happen in the other games, ever. now it takes forever just because a single pokemon is moved.

If they did we'd have a Johto remake...I don't get why Nintendo does this. Won't a Johto remake make alot more money than a D/P remake? I mean, they came out last year and diehard fans are knocking on their doors begging for a johto remake

I don't think anyone mentioned honey trees. I mean really. Chansey was tough enough to catch in the Safari Zone, but finding a Munchlax? I've slathered over 1000 trees, and not a single Munchlax ever appeared. As of last Sunday, I've been slathering 20 honey trees 3 times a day. I know I should just breed for one, but I've been trying for over a year now to find one in Sinnoh. (I know I can breed one. But my goal is to catch all the Sinnoh pokemon in Diamond and Pearl only, and complete the Obtained Sinnoh Dex BEFORE facing the elite 4.)

I hated the speed of the game. How battles took forever, and surfing speed, looking through the bag. Playing Fire Red or Leaf Green right after a month of Diamond makes me feel like the game is in fast foward..

Wow....The only Pokemon games I have are the Mystery Dungeon ones and Pearl, so I can't really compare to older games...but I guess the most annoying thing for me was the fact that after you catch all the legends you can catch without cheating, there's really nothing else you can do unless you didn't battle every trainer on the routes. But that Platinum game looks AWESOME!!!

Well other than snowpoint it has to be the saving a lot of data.What happened to the speed of saving the game in pokemon red/blue.It used to be only like two seconds.
But the worst annoyince in the games is Du dunh daaaaa......

You guessed it magikarp.But not just magikarp,The magikarp trainer.You can face him on your way to eterna city.He has 6 pokemon in his team.Except there all lv.10 Magikaps! That only know splash.It is so annoying!it's a waste of pp and you barly recive any exp.They put this trainers in Every game it's like they think it' a joke!

My guess is that it's a marketing technique. They make a game series unlike never before (The first DS Pokemon game series) which they add upsetting features to it. We then later complain about the features, hoping that the next generation won't be as bad. FINALLY, they leak out information about the new Pokemon Platinum just to get people excited and buy millions (or billions) of copies and making way more money than they did with Diamond and pearl.

Formula:
D/P Features Are Bad + Platinum Features Are Great = $$$
