Caves , caves , caves

Hey eveybody :)

I just want to say that I love Pokémon games and currently playing SoulSilver however I have just realised how much I dislike all caves in Pokémon games . I don't know why , I just get so annoyed when I have to go through one xD . The only good thing about them is all of the items that can be found and catching Pokémon too but I just cant stand them . Anybody else feel this way ? Im not saying they should be taken out of the game , just do not like them and the constant Zubat battles -_- .
Anyway please leave feedback :)

Hum...Well, gotta admit they can get on your nerves when you're in a hurry and you :

-don't find the right way
-Get attacked by tons of pokemon

That's why I normally take lots of Repels xD I'm not really disliking caves though, but sometimes they do annoy me when I don't have any repel on me ~w~
Like Lugia, I spent hours to find him xP

Else I think they're a good thing because caves are, as they are sometimes like mazes, kinda making a part of the game harder AND longer too ~ Iiiimo x3

I wouldn't mind them so much if I didn't play so many hacks... and hackers love their caves. D/P/Pt was the worst for caves, they were all really badly designed. Hoenn wasn't so bad except for victory road.

Normally, I start going all BLARGH when I get lost in a cave. I've grown used to bringing a few escape ropes and Max/Super Repels.

Gosh it's annoying when you get lost and Pokemon keep attacking you while you're trying to find your way out. @_@

But hey, games are supposed to make you angry sometimes. xD

 

[Emlam]

I make sure I have at least a couple Pokemon either at crazy high levels or with a high-PP attack that's good against the cave's dominant species before I venture in without knowing the way. That way you can at least either OHKO or run when they start bugging you.

Nothing will ever make Zubats not annoying, though.

 

[SiReNzZ]

Repels and escape ropes are great and ver useful in caves however it sucks when I forget to visit the store and stock up on them ! xD

I have to go to the find the brilliant Lugia ( Can't wait to catch it ) now and it just has to be located deep down inside a cave !

Moved this to the General Gaming forum since it's related to the games and nothing else in the fandom.

Though I do kind of agree. I'm sick of Zubat. :/ The worst thing about caves for me is that usually you run into two kinds of Pokémon: rock/ground and Zubat. I tend to level my grass Pokémon in caves but it's hard when I'm constantly switching out to my electric type to take care of the Zubat--none of them give much experience to begin with and splitting it up really doesn't help. And obviously I can't just lead with my electric type because it's useless against the rock/grounds. Augh. D:

 

[Emlam]

On the plus side, caves are where the Psychic types can show their stuff.

 

[Ryden]

Probably has something to do with the higher encounter rate. I know thats what bugs me, sames goes for when you have to do prolonged periods of surfing (which is one thing that really bugged me about Hoenn).
If running into a pokemon every 3 steps wasn't bad enough, some of them (I'm looking at you Zubat and Golbat) think that have the right to not allow me to ecspae every now and then. Now see, normally such injustice would be met with slow and painful death, but my PP is precious and I don't want to waste it on the likes of them.
Caves with no naturally lighting can be annoying as well, because I'm not making room for Flash. I'm stubborn and I normally will walk blindly through these caves. As one might think, this takes a considerable amount of time -_-;;

Ah but the thing I'd have to say I "love" the most about caves is when I'm going though one and I just so happen to come across a spot in it that requires some HM move to get to a new area and said HM move is not one my current party knows, nor can they learn it/got room to learn it. So now I have to backtrack/escape rope myself out to make some adjustments usually ending with me going back without my full party, which that alone tends to erk me. I feel bad for leaving one of them behind.

I don't hate caves as much as I hate Zubat and Geodude coming out of nowhere every five steps. I also hate getting halfway through a cave and realizing I needed Defog or Flash or some move I don't have with me, so I have to turn around and find my way back out to get that Pokémon.

 

[Sydian]

Caves are annoying, but after you've played a game so many times, you can easily find your way out. I know Granite Cave through and through without Flash and even Rock Tunnel is no biggie anymore. Dark Cave is kinda easy, so that's nothing special. Anyway, the random battles just mean more exp. points, so it's fine with me.

 

[Timbjerr]

all the Zubat hate...can't resist...

As I see it, caves are awesome places to grind for experience. Getting attacked every five seconds is a great way to maximize experience in your party. :P

 

[Rapide]

I happen to feel the same way about caves in Pokemon. xD I hate when I use Repels and they keep showing up anyway. Also curse you poison, and paralysis! Easiest caves for me were Granite Cave in Hoenn. (Sorry for being off-topic but, HOENN RULES!)

I hate you Zubat.

 

[Emlam]

I like Geodude. Geodude gives your Grass and Fighting Pokemon easy exp.
Zubat is barely worth KO'ing though. ><

 

[SiReNzZ]

I do agree that the exp to be earned is great but I just don't like battling the same Pokémon soo many times and just as Rapide said Curse you poison and paralysis xD .

 

[Emlam]

Auuuugh the poison and the flickering. SHUT UP SCREEN, I KNOW MY POKEMON IS POISONED. XD

 

[HugSomebody]

Caves make a challenging addition to the games, but they tend to get repetitive. Geodude here, Zubat there, exit after following a couple of stairs. I would love to have underwater mazes again. (:

 

[BHwolfgang]

Caves could've been better if there wasn't so much Zubats. I would kick myself in the face if Gen. V showcased more Pokemons and less Zubats.

It's really annoying to have one of your Pokemon use Flash every time when adventuring through a cave. The Cerulean Cave was the most fun out of all the caves. It was like wandering through a maze... with water. ♥
