    I was pretty pissed at the lack of a Game Corner... now the palce resembles a retirement home for checker players...

    Also the battle pacing in DPPt was soooooo sloooooow... pauses between text, slow HP decrease... my God it made me glad I didn't care much for my Diamond and Pearl teams, not enough to grind them to bits.

    Also Licklicky... my god it took one of my favourites and gave it retarded parents... how can you look at it and say it's well designed (or even remotely close to being decently designed?)

    contests
    voltorb flip
    slower loadin
    the over load of legends/events
    and the lack of fire/electric types
    oh and those worthless unneeded evolutions for previous gen pokemon except:
    gliscor,yanmega,weavile,glaceon,electivire,mamoswine&leafeon
    also porygon-Z

    the rest were horrible -_-"

    am ya i liked all the evos you named although i was pretty indifferent to gliscor and mamoswine but i think roserade was amazing although i hated lickilicky (i think thats what its called) so much!

    Defog, I found that utterly annoying, they just had to take out dive, and make Defog.
    This. I miss Dive. It added so much more area to the game. Imagine the new places to explore if Dive was kept in.

    Defog was just there to piss people off and take up another HM slot on my Staravia.

    A lot of things

    The designer of the in-game battle system.

    The Poketch.

    The battle tower.

    And, lest us not forget, the stupid amount of Legendaries introduced into the fourth Gen.

    I never liked the contests, or, in HGSS, the Pokeathalon. The Poketch was pretty useless too.

    As to the people complaining about Voltorb Flip: Have you actually played it? It's a fun minigame, if confusing if you don't understand it.

    Dude, the reason of Voltorb Flip was so that the nerds and geeks out there would learn to use their brains instead of going up to the Game Corner and pressing "A, A, A, A, A, A" to buy coins (which doesn't even make sense in the first place). Most worthles 4th gen thing, though: TEAM GALACTIC'S UTTER STUPIDITY! "Oh, you've come to donate your Pokémon! How nice! Huh? You want to battle?!"

    Voltorb flip. TOO DARN LUCK BASED. AND IF THERE IS A STRATEGY,HOW WOULD A 8 year old FIGHURE IT OUT?

    Not luck-based at all. There is a strategy that a six-year-old could figure out. In fact, anyone who can add basic numbers can figure it out. Yes, this prices are ridiculous, I have to agree. But the Voltorb Flip is a nice way of introducing brains into Pokémon.

    Nothing, I like everything about the fourth gen. 8]
    But I would have to say, I would prefer Dive than Defog. The fog is pretty fun at first, but I still miss Dive.

    -Poffins (my screen will never be the same)
    -Contest
    -The pokemon finder thing. Whatever it's called. Half the time I just found normal pokemon that I could easily get in D/P, and then I'd have to walk around again until it recharged. It was just a pain.

    I did like mining though. I swear, I think I spend more time just mining than anything else in that game...

    Poffins is a big no no.

    Contests are very big no no.
    Battle frontier deserves to be bombed. Yeah, thats right.
