4th Gen Complaints thread

Possibly the rock is found in the area unlocked by the Jirachi.
Anyway I didn't have a problem with the game except it was all Japanese (which will change in time).

Akiyo is spot on. I see certain Pokemon as certain genders. I see Groudon as Male and Kyogre as Female. I see Ninetails as Female and Arcanine as Male. Its annoying I know but I don't feel happy with a team unless I think the genders suit the Pokemon.

Stereotype, much? I LOVE having a Pokemon of a gender that seems to be "inappropriate" (I use this term loosely). For example, I had a male Gardevoir in RSE and a female Gyarados in DPPt.

I don't think so because Jirachi only unlocks an area within the Pokewalker.
So it's all up to speculation.

Well, should it matter about genders? i mean that really has nothin to do with the game mechanic other than breeding, which in this game can be pretty hectic if you don't go and collect your eggs. ><

personally, i don't like the fact that the lugia etc has to go inside the pokeball when you're in a building.

My only real complaint is to the players of the game.
If you don't like it...don't play it? No one's forcing you to play HG/SS and no one really wants to hear you bicker about all the "design rape" or "music rape" that you hate about the game as you play it.

and I fully agree with this as well.... personally I find it depressing that we have to have a thread to complain about the game. At least they made an effort, then all of you people go and bag it out because there's little quirks that you don't like... would you be able to do a better job?

Sorry, sound like I'm trolling & flaming (this is basically a thread for it), it's just that this place hasn't really become all that civil any more. At least try to provide justification for why you don't like it? Instead of saying it and be all ignorant about technical problems they may have had in developing the game?

 

[Apostrophe]

If you don't like it...don't play it?

That argument gets stupider every time I hear it. Has it ever crossed your mind that people like some aspects of the game, but not others? Maybe they wish that they could go to their favorite town again without hearing the music replaced with elevator music? Maybe they liked the idea of battling Red again, but didn't like it being interrupted with mandatory hail?

If people didn't like the game, they wouldn't be criticizing aspects that ruin an otherwise-perfect experience. In case you didn't know, "complaining" is a voicing of your opinion, which sometimes is picked up by people in charge and fixed.

If people didn't complain about an underleveled GSC, Falkner's Pigeoto would still be level 9. If people didn't complain about RBY's bagging system, you'd still be constantly running back and forth to the PC to deposit/withdraw items. If people didn't complain about music, Lavender town's music would still make people sick to their stomach.

tl;dr I'm talking about the people who complain about the entire game not being how they want it to be (<insert game aspect> rape, is what they call it), continually bash gamefreak for "failing" at remakes and "ruining" the originals, then play it anyway while forcing their opinions down others' throats.

I don't care about the people who don't like 1 or 2 things but like another 1 or 2 things. Hell I'm that way as well. I dislike some things but I enjoy the rest.

Let's see:

This will be fun...

Kris is replaced by a dumb dirl with a dumber outfit

Kris was not replaced as she was never in the games. While she could have returned this girl is much more suited for Johto.

The Battle frontier is 100% the same as in Platinum

That should be really a good thing. Makes the frontier less 3rd Version exclusive. Also people still forget the recorder which records brain battles. Its all compatibility in this case and its fine.

Goldenrods music sucks

Eh its all preference.

Jasmines gym is still boring and pointless without trainers or puzzles

Because we really need that when we have to climb a whole freaking lighthouse beating almost all the trainers in there, surfing to another town to get the needed item in one of the most annoying water routes in Johto, beat a gym leader in the process, climb the lighthouse and cure her Pokemon.

There is absolutely no way to turn the follow feature off

I love how ironic it is that everyone hates this when it was the most wanted feature.

Kanto is still boring

When its restored with some updated areas...

And where the heck is the white rock in Kanto Oak mentioned back in DPPt during the Shaymin event

Probably for the hell of it I guess or it was included but taken out.

 

[Kanto_Johto]

Soooo many people complaining about the music. As a musician myself, I can tell you that the music is outstanding. One of the best soundtracks ever released for a Pokemon game. Particularly National Park, Lance/Red battle, Dragons Den and Viridian Forest. I can understand that the tones may be difficult to get used to, but they are good pieces of work nonetheless.

Tone: Great
Melodies: Great
Arrangements: Great
Tempo: Great
Music: Great

Both these posts are silly. Now we're complaining about complaining? :O

this post = win

Honestly I don't see a point in arguing either way about the music since it's just a matter of personal taste. Some people won't like it, some people will, and there's no point in trying to convince either side that they're wrong.

Anyways, I dislike that the decorating-your-room feature seems to be gone. It was far better than Secret Bases imo (since you didn't have to deal with crap like tons of limits, rocks/holes in the way, and other stuff), and the items available were just the right amount.

 

[Ellie]

Me too, I remember Mystery Gifting almost every day (since my brother had a GBC as well and Silver Version, and he let me do it since it benefitted both of us) to try and get the rare decorations, and I was so jealous when my brother got a Surfing Pikachu Doll, and I loved putting my favorite decorations up. The Safari Zone customization is neat, as are the majority of the other new features they put in (GB Player!!!), but... I still miss the old stuff that they removed :S

 

[Steelix8]

There is only one single thing that I can possibly think to complain about when it comes to these games. That one thing is that I am not overjoyed by the new Feraligatr sprite. There's just something about it...I don't know. I prefer the D/P version more.

 

[SPEEDIE]

the only thing i have found so far that i dislike about the new games is that my Dratini i got for answering the questions in the Dragons Den (which was a matter of randomly picking answeres until i finished it :) ) didn't have Extreame Speed as one of its moves

i dont like the idea that my rom crashes heaps but the game hasn't been out long enough for them to have a good rom for it

 

[Kieran]

The only complain I've got is that... it's taking too long to be released!

Actually, that is being caused by piracy checks. Pretty good ones too. It isn't just a bad ROM.

[Mitchman]

Speedie you just didn't answer the questions correctly for the Dratini.

 

[SPEEDIE]

Speedie you just didn't answer the questions correctly for the Dratini.
