After playing this a little bit the thing that is disappointing to me is the lack of animation of the pokemon. I was thinking they would be jumping and hitting each other.

Is there anything youve encountered that was disappointing

I thought it would be all in 3D. I know tons of people don't mind, but I actually wish to enjoy ALL of the scenery in 3D, including nice flowers, Pokémon centres etc. Why aren't they in 3D?

if everything was 3d it would create to much continuous strain on the eyes.

The only real disappointment is that there are only 8 boxes .... at least so far.

Um, no it wouldn't, actually, but the reason for that is a different topic. 3D doesn't strain your eyes, your eyes strain because they don't recognize 3D yet.

Well I guess that's for you then. Me, I can perfectly handle it. Kid Icarus was a great experience!

Aye, indeed. Though I never used that many to be completely honest. You can always BUY more *laughs*

Yeah, same here. Other 3DS games are in 3D so I don't get why this isn't. Also, the graphics are half-cartoon/half 3-d. I thought the game was going to have similar graphics to Pokemon Mystery dungeon which would have rocked but it doesn't :/

One of the NPCs said that more are unlocked when you fill the boxes.

I don't like that you can't turn the roller blades off. I know a lot of people love them, but they're too fast for my tastes, especially since I don't know my way around the region or towns yet. Using the D-pad for when I don't wanna roller blade is a let down since I was finally able to use the circle pad for movement and it not be choppy, like when playing a gen IV or V game on a 3DS. So yeah. Nothing major, just mainly an irritation.

I don't like how Pikachu's sound was changed to it saying its name, and yet none of the other Pokemon have changes like that. I mean, I understand that being the Pokemon mascot would have significance, but still...

You can turn them off by using the d-pad instead of the analog stick.

For the boxes, put one Pokemon in each box, close the pc and go back in to reveal more. For the rollerblades to turn off, use the d-pad not the c-stick.

The biggest disappointment is not having all Vivallon forms in one region.

That doesn't work the way I want it to, which I just explained. It doesn't make them go away, and I don't want to use the D-pad. I should be able to use the analog stick to simply run. It's a let down that I'm playing this game on a 3DS, and to move without the roller blades, I have to use the D-pad.

Yeah, I can access 15 boxes. My only disappointment is the swarms. I find them annoying rather than fun.

I agree you should be allowed to turn it off as it gets a bit annoying when all of a sudden you fly off into wild grass

The sheer amount of time it is taking for Gardevoir to learn one stinking Fairy move...

And the fact that I can not find ANY info on when it will learn Fairy Wind or Moonblast ANYWHERE...

Why is it that the Santalune forest is so unoriginal? It is an exact replica of the Viridan forest from Kanto! I think it is just dumb..... I mean really.... In this thread, feel free to post your thoughts and feelings about this, or point out any other things that are unoriginal like this.

Honestly can't think of anything that disappointed me too much. The game exceeded my expectations if anything. I mean before I got the game I thought 70 new Pokemon was horrid, but after playing it I haven't really found it a bad thing. Especially when realizing how big the dex is.

My only complaint would be the lack of post-game things to do. Or at least so far it seems the amount of postgame is extremely small. I keep crossing my fingers for somebody to find something amazing. But I guess Pokemon has never had a solid postgame before.

How is it an exact replica?... I didn't see it that way at all.

How different can a short forest between two towns be?

when you are walking around it pay close attention to the layout of the forest.

I think it's a pretty cool throwback. And really, how original can a first route forest get? :P

I didn't find the layout that similar at all and actually really loved everything about this forest. It was a great little area to have at the beginning of a game that had some really good Pokemon to offer and really helpful battles for training. I don't see any similarities to this and Viridian Forest other than both having a variety of Bug Pokemon to offer.

This is actually a big plus for me, I love the concept of a regional butterfly.

My disappointment is the lack of 3D, but I'm growing accustomed to it. The game is just beautiful anyways.

I think it's a lovely tribute, it really took me back.
