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'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.

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 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.

level.

Forgot about user titles

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

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.

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!

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

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.
