Kalos is said to have some sort of a connection to the Kanto region, so maybe that's got something to do with it?

Anyway, this isn't too much of an issue, to be honest. Personally, I've found all forests to be a bit similar to each other in layout, weather it be Berry Forest from FireRed and LeafGreen, Petalburg Woods from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Ilex Forset from Gold, Silver, and Crystal, or Eterna Forest from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. They have never payed enough attention when it came to making forests, as they seem to go towards the lazy path and base them off of each other every time. d:

Yeah, it's the exact same layout. I wonder how that works in-universe--two forests in completely different regions that look exactly the same. Some kind of mystical connection or something. Of course, Game Freak probably just made it that way as a throwback; there seem to be an awful lot of Kanto pokémon in this game.

I already found out that Santalune forest is smiler to Viridan forest.
I noticed the tree in front of the entrance and It reminded me of it. then I saw the surroundings and I found out.

Viridian Forest and the Kanto starters...
Methinks that Nintendo is trying to put things in this game for the genwunners or those who have played from the beginning! I didn't notice that it was exactly the same, but got a familiar vibe from it...(especially when Pikachu was revealed to be a rare pokemon in it)

Well, to be honest, I feel as though us Pokemon fans (well Gamers in general) are just hard to please. This whole game has throwbacks to previous games. In the past I remember people complaining about how there wasn't enough throwbacks. So if you ask me, I see this as game freak listening to their fans.

If anything I loved it, it did remind meof Viridian Forest but to me at least, it didn't seem like a "replica" .

(I'm referring to the forest in the beginning btw)

Pokemon aren't supposed to say their name. They only do in the anime as a marketing tool.

I think Pikachu's voice was changed as a throwback to Yellow Version. There are a ton of things in Gen 6 referencing Gen 1.

Well this is more of a confusion than complaint. How come I can walk through fields of flowers that tower over me...but can't walk over slightly darker tiny blades of grass?

This is going to sound weird, but mainly just the lack of sprites. The rest of the game is great! And to be honest, I dont even play it in 3d.

Pretty much this. I mean I did just play this game for like 2 days straight, so now that it's "over" in a sense, I'm a bit disappointed.

Well I have been playing the game now for about 4 hours and haven't gotten to the 2nd gym yet. I love taking my time. The only complaints I have at the moment are these.

The colors of the pokemon seem a little pale and it's hard to find the right pokemon you want because there are so many on a route.

The starters, honestly.
-Chespin and Quilladin were awesome and cute. Then this Chestnaught comes along.... This was going to be my starter... but ewww...
-Fennekin was cute, but Braixen and Delphox are just MEHHHHH....
-Froakie is cute. My least favourite at first, but Greninja is the only one that is decent between the three...

honestly the main thing that is disappointing to me is how little effort seems to have been put in beyond the 3D which isn't even used through out the entire game, the teams for the gym leaders & E4 area seemingly just slapped together without any real thought.
also the main antagonists take forever to show up & fade away fairly quickly.

so in summary my main gripe is how little game play their is in the game compared to other pokemon games, between this & how few pokemon their are I feel like they released this too early

I have no major disappointment up to this point. A few things i would have loved to see though would be an electric/fighting and an electric/dark pokemon, plus it kinda sucks that there is a fairy badge, but there has never been a dark one.
Besides that, loving the game (:

Honestly the lack of legendary pokemon really is a let down, it actually makes me angry that they make the pokedex so big but you cannot obtain more then like 6 of the legendaries seriously? the only legendares that i can find record of anywhere on x and y and your alecated ones for your version, zygarde, mewtwo, and 1 of the birds depending on your starter, but the fact there isnt any of the like 30 others in the game.. would of made the game immensely better..

I don't like how Mega Mawile isn't available until postgame and the overworld lacks the 3D effect (not that I'd use it, but it's a very glaring oversight)

Also I noticed some slowdown in some pokémon battles, especially Double and Triple battles.

I actually liked how there wasn't much of a focus on the legendaries considering there have been far too many of them in gen 4 and 5. It was something I felt was quite refreshing.

That you can't remove the rollerblades. Also the camera angle gets annoying somtimes, like in Lumiose City.

ohh really dear is that right? well lemme know what to do with the game after u catch the legendaries and beat all the battles please share with me ur great plan on what the **** to do now.. the game ends to quickly with the lack of legendaries if they made a basic second storyline involving most the legendaries the game would be longer and better for it but the lack of them makes the after elite 4 stuff very pointless and boring and short..

I can't take off my hat!!

I know some people have said that it's because all the main heroes wear hats in the previous games but in the previous games we also got the random legendary trio. That is just one example but you can find plenty others, this generation is breakimg traditions yet I still have to wear a stupid hat? GF truly loves trolling.

So far nothing for me, although I'm still too early in the game, just got to coastal Kalos - so far I love everything I been able to try (I'm in love with Pokemon Amie!).

My biggest annoyment/dissapointment even before XY was released was Mega-Evo, none of the Pokemon I use in any of my teams have one, since it was first announced, I was super excited for them, sadly I won't be able to enjoy it [nintendo just can't make everyone happy at the same time].

That darn annoying Pikachu voice, its the mascot but it shouldn't get special treatment. At least should me it shouldn't

Just wished that the Pokemon following would have returned (like in Soul Silver or Heart Gold)

I'm not so thrilled with the customization options, tbh. I didn't really understand how it was going to work, either, so I chose a different skin tone just so I could match my hair and eye color in real life, but now I'm stuck with it lol
I thought the salon would let you cycle through a bunch of hair and skin and stuff, but I guess not.

I was also annoyed at the fact that I have to use the D-pad to avoid using the roller blades. The roller blades are fun in big open areas, but they're just too fast and slippery for me to enjoy using them anywhere else. I like the circle pad... :c

Next, I don't really like the way a lot of the older Pokemon's cries sound distorted and weird. It takes away from the character of the Pokemon imo... It'd be cool if they updated the old cries with more realistic sounds, but they just sound machiney and generic now.

That's all I can think of for now. Other than that, I'm having fun!

So yeah. Nothing major, just mainly an irritation.
Use the Dowsing Machine when you get it and you'll automatically disable your rollerskates.

Only few disappointments to me were that first, they don't show your pokemon when you hit them like they showed in the freaking trailers. And that my game occasionally lags when I'm picking my move. Also the limited 3D functionality is a let down, and when you can actually use it, the game lags A LOT.

Pokemon-Amie is also pretty disappointing. I thought you would be able to do a lot more than just pet your pokemon in the front and feed it puffs 24/7. Hoped it would be more like nintendogs.

I was hoping I'd be able to take off my hat as well. And my weird bag.

Another thing I'd like to add is the Exp Share and how exp distribution works in general (which doesn't distribute exp equally across all pokemon that havebeen in battle anymore). Exp Share made it too easy to level a group of pokemon :/

Mega Evolutionized pokemon are also waaaaaay too strong atm. Mega Charizard didn't take a single hit when doing the planter grass type gym. And if I wasn't using other pokemon instead of my charizard, I'd most likely have defeated the lumiose city gym without my charizard taking a scratch as well xD

I agree. These are my main 2 disappointments as well. Other than these two I love the game so far. I find the new Pokemon that I've ran into so far to be extremely cute. :)
