4th Gen Complaints thread

[Six Of Spades]

There actually is a reason for them doing that.

Not because they're lazy, but because that way they can use the Battle Recorder Feature with Platinum. Having new Brains or Facilities would make it incompatable with Platinum's Battle Recorder Features.

Yes, I can fathom that, but what surprised me is that the Brains themselves are the same, less so the fact that the events don't change. Considering they already have Rotom/Shaymin/Giratina change sprite when linked with DP, it's within the bounds of the imagination (and programming) to have new Frontier Brain sprites switch to old ones if viewed in Platinum. Sinnoh isn't said to be within reasonable distance of Johto/Kanto, and unlike the returning legendaries; they don't *quite* have the ability to jump wherever they please.

Although HGSS might still justify this as a travelling event, or have Battle Frontier non-reachable by land, which would handwave the geographical discrepancy.

I am deeply enraged by the fact that no evolution of dunsparce has been created. that is THE only pokemon that deeply needs an evolution, and yet it cannot evolve

I'd complain about the soundtrack. Most of it sounds good, but over remixed to the point where I have to listen to a song fully to figure out if it's actually a remix or a whole new song flat out.

For example, the Kanto trainer battle music. It has all these weird sound-effect like noises over the actual original tune, which is EXTREMELY annoying for nostalgic reasons.
Another example is Goldenrod city music. The bike theme sounds more like the original.
Trainer battle johto: Again too many goofy background sounds which make it very VERY hard to tell the original battle tune is even there. What was gamefreak thinking?
Everyone hates the Celadon city remix.

Aside from the music, the game itself is amazing. truly a must buy for every pokemon player


Edit: I'm not even kidding, the celadon city music is downright awful.

EpsilonE, I agree with you for some of them, but not all of them. National Park and Vermillion City are a couple of them that are extremely different, but some of them I think turned out pretty well. However, I think that's the reason why they gave you the GB mp3 player later in the game, so you can listen to the original GSC music if you think that it's better. Again though, I wish it was available much earlier in the game than Celadon.

 

[EpsilonE]

I didnt say ALL songs were bad. I love the pewter city, the johto wild battle and violet city music, and the Raikou battle theme tops all pokemon music imo.

I'm just saying some of the soundtracks sound waaay overbeared with remixy tones.

And do you seriously get an mp3 player in the GAME that lets you listen to originals?

Yes, you do. It's called the GB Player. You get it after getting all 16 badges and going to Gamefreak's development room in Celadon.

 

[PsychoJigglypuff]

I find it hilarious how there are so many complaints even though the game itself only came out a couple days ago. xD

I haven't really played the game yet, so my only complaint is that it isn't out in the US yet. D:

 

[Hamilton]

have fun with that- wow, that post sounds exactly like the one Polliwagged made before he was banned
ON TOPIC
i had high expectations for this game, and well... they were all met- and more! i can say without hesitation that this is the best game i have ever played (tied with Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

 

[Hamilton]

Why not actually play the old G/S/C or use the GB player in the game to have old nostalgic music?

don't encourage the trolls- odds are it's one of the members who got banned in the last 2 weeks and he/she created another account to cause more trouble
he/she's mocking the members who say things like that (like poliwagged did)

Everyone hates the Celadon city remix.

Celadon City is nowhere near as bad as Goldenrod. Poor Goldenrod was raped. The Game Corner/Lucky Channel as well. I remember turning on the radio to the Lucky Channel when I played Crystal as a little kid just to listen to that catchy music, but it's not as good anymore.

Otherwise, the music isn't too horrible, it's just a big bag of overall below average music. Some tracks actually sound pretty good, but the bad ones outnumber them.

I wish you could get the GB Player earlier, but you have to wait until the freaking end of the game. I'll be playing with the sound off most of the time, then...

THANK GOD. but I hate HATE that you said some tracks are good.
bullshiit, no tracks are good. they're all absolute donkey shiit.

hey you want to come with me to japan? I've got a flight in 2 days I'm going to gun down gamefreak

this game's music is so fuucking awful everyone there needs to be shot so I'm doing it myself. stupid shiits don't know how to make music they just release cat rape noises on to a piece of crap game card. they ruined my childhood so some fuuckers have to pay the blood price. ass, wipes

Why thank you, I really do appreciate getting trolled for having an opinion about a video game.

No problem at all.

If you ever need one again, just give me a call. ~_^

 

[Finnel]

Yes, it was a very enjoyable experience. I'll call you next weekend.

 

[Sydian]

My two favorite overworld themes were murdered: Ecruteak and Ice Path.

 

[thegeneticway]

ugh. I found out the BF Move Tutor Moves. I was disappointed with all the moves they had.

Pretty much the same with some other pokemon

Different strokes for different folks. I, for one, think the new soundtrack is a WONDERFUL new take on the old tunes. I LOVE the Ecruteak City theme and I think the Celadon theme brings back warm childhood memories. Some of my favourite tracks include Pokemon Center, Friendly Shop, Ecruteak City, Cianwood City, New Bark Town, and Lavender Town themes. I uploaded both the HGSS and GSC albums onto my MP3 player and love both soundtracks.

This is the best soundtrack since the original GSC. RSE had too much trumpets and french horns while DPPt tunes were forgettable.

 

[Azumi]

The only complaint I have so far is that:

Spoiler:

I get to disguise as a Team Rocket grunt and then my cover gets blown by my rival (whom I named カモン/Kamon) right after the REAL grunt lets me through. AND THEN HE LEAVES AFTER I MAUL THAT STUPID GRUNT.

Spoiler:

I mean, does he come in just to blow my cover and leave like that loser he was?! D=<

...of course, I was a bit amused though.
And the remark at the end was a joke. I still love him~

 

[Arnheln]

Scyther + Bug Catching Contest = NIGHTMARE

Is it TOO much to ask to be able to catch a MALE Scyther in the Bug Catching Contest? Seriously. All I can find are females and I can't be bothered to breed with my Ditto in order to get one.

 

[Timbjerr]

...any particular reason why you need a male Scyther when gender has been proven to have no effect on a pokemon's stats and movepool (except for the few evolution cases, which Scyther isn't one)?
