4th Gen Complaints thread

[TheAppleFreak]

Since when does music depend on the time of day?

Since D/P/Pt. :P

Another thing that bugs me in HG is the removal of the Vs. Seeker. But it's a challenge now to train and raise money.

 

[Nashton]

my only issues with it is the PC and menu system

it was so much smoother in D/P

but i guess they wanted to make it more touch screen friendly *shrug* =\

 

[vibratingcat]

I don't see why everybody is complaining about kanto. Sure the levels r low but i never used them to level up my pokemon in any of the games b4. Even if the levels were higher it doesnt give u much experience. There was also a reasonable amount of events in kanto, mayb not as much as a full game, but as a bonus, theres heaps!!
The only complaint i hav 4 this game is that there isnt any secret bases. But its packed full with other goodies so i am too overjoyed to b worried about it!

 

[Human]

I don't like how many water based HM's there are. I know you could easily delete them, or have some useless pokemon learn them, but I always like to play where each of my 6 members know an HM or two.

Blah.

 

[salmence33]

the levels are waaaayyy too low in the league and in dragons den I wanted to be Lance's partner, silver was underleveled

 

[hi fi wi fi]

Do not like the new start menu where its all on the bottom screen liked it more on the top screen.

 

[CrashSmAshley]

I find it slightly annoying that in order to catch Suicune you have to follow it to all these different places and then you battle it...wish you could catch it the same as Raikou and Entei.

new safari zone

Anyone else hate the new safari zone? i swear i was in there an hour changing it and trying to find something besides zubats and raticates.

 

[Guy]

Seeing as this is pretty much a complaint on the new Safari Zone, just going to merge with the Complaints thread for you. As for myself, haven't gotten to try it out yet - still in-training to beat Chuck before doing so. Though, I've heard some mixed reviews on it.

 

[Panfisha]

Battling Lance, all his dragonites could do was use outrage or dragon rush. Each dragonite used only 1 other attack, then the rest was all dragon rush/outrage.

 

[Zacceh]

It bothered me how OP'd Karen's Houndoom seemed to be.

Nasty Plot + Dark Pulse & Flamethrower = You're screwed unless you have a strong Water/Ground/Fighting/Rock type.

Also Lance's lower-leveled Dragonite, just because that's what finished me off my first time getting to Lance...

One of the only things I don't like about the game is how fast you can beat it. I'm flying through Kanto right now, and it kind of disappoints me. There also needs to be more available Fire Pokemon in Johto, and the Super Rod shouldn't be in Kanto. Finally, Lyra/Ethan and your rival should make more appearances.

It would also be awesome if the in-game people recognized me as being the League Champion.

 

[Xebelleon]

I hate how the phone numbers are unremovable from Pokegear. And Apricorn trees instead of berry plants has put the hurt on feeding Moomoo.

I miss Gen2 computer cloning...

Poor Moomoo. :[

I hate how the phone numbers are unremovable from Pokegear.

I want to delete half of the people in my phone, they're so annoying.

 

[Imperator161]

I, too, dislike the fact that I can't remove phone numbers. If the people didn't call so often and if they weren't so annoying, it wouldn't be that bad, but they won't leave me alone! I'm not that far into the game (Goldenrod), but I'm already starting to get fed up with the number of phone calls (and I haven't gotten a single request for a rematch, so they've been pretty useless, as far as I'm concerned).

I also don't like the huge emphasis on the touch screen. It's fine for some things, but I wish I could easily navigate the PC and menus without using it. I feel like I have to go through an extra step or two to access things if I don't want to use the touch screen than I did in DPPt. I also don't like the stats screens for Pokemon. They just seem harder to read to me than the DPPt ones.

There are a bunch of small issues with the games (there are plenty that I haven't mentioned here), but overall, I really like the games, despite their issues.

 

[SIN1488]

Voltorb flip. I am complaining about it now, but I have only played it once, so we'll see how it goes. But it seems like that "Minesweeper" game that is on every Windows PC, and I hate Minesweeper!

Bring back the slots, it's not illegal to gamble with fake money, so what's the deal? Unless they did it to keep their "E" rating, as "simulated gambling" might somehow raise the rating.

 

[CoffeeWolf]

My only real complaint is Kanto.. it's going too fast and I don't like getting to pick which gyms I fight. ^^; It confuses me. I like things more linear

Dialogue not as good as Diamond/Pearl

I got Soul Silver last week and I thought the dialogue wasn't exactly great, well, not as good as it's predecessors like Diamond/Pearl and Platinum. Just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same.

 

[SIN1488]

Is this a complaint? >_<

Anyway, I didn't really notice the difference. Maybe there is kind of a lack of dialogue though.

 

[jbrownsts]

not a complaint, just the dialogue doesent seem as...i dunno, sophisticated as in diamond and pearl
