5th Gen Pros and Cons Discussion Thread

This innovation wasn't made in the last three generations. If you remember Pikachu followed the Red around in Yellow. Yes Follow Me feature is more entertaining imo then Musicals, but it is what it is. Other things like Contests are gone as well, the only think you could do is hope they return this feature in previous games, or write a letter to Gamefreak saying how much you like it and would urge them to reinstate it in future games(although I doubt it would accomplish anything).
 
I was like "Woot!" following in black when I was getting it! /fail

I do wish that they would have put it into this game also, but I can live without it.

I know this topic has already been discussed, but It still annoys me that they cut this from the game. I would much rather they kept letting us have our pokemon follow us and instead cut some content from the dress up games. I know that some people must like the dress up, but lets be honest: Letting you walk your pokemon all around the region was one of the most interesting innovations they made in the last three generations. Really, this is why I like HG/SS more.

This seems to be a con for you, (and we already have the thread where people are mentioning that they miss it, when listing the ones that they'd like to follow them here). And there's also the fact you're bringing in Musicals, which is a different thing altogether. :( Plus, pros/cons is a discussion, which unlike a thread devoted to it, allows users to expand on why they miss it rather than "yes I miss it", as the future replies are likely to follow this pattern.
 
Been playing Black for the first time, the music

I just finished that tower with the graves--beautiful Mother 3-esque music...

I love the game so far, but what did you think first time you heard the music in the game?

It's good that you like the music, but this is turning into a thread where everyone agrees it's good - so I merged with pros/cons, because it's a pro for you. If you'd like to post about your favourite tracks when it comes to the music, post about that here. :)

The lag gets on my nerves sometimes, and the high encounter rates are annoying too. This is the first game I actually have to use repels in.

I was really disappointed by the lag as well. :|
As for the encounter rate, I have found that actually walking helps a lot. I'm just so used to running without consequence that I've used way too many repels. :P
 
Let's put it this way: I don't think I've ever had to buy thirty Max Repels to get through a cave in my entire life...

This might be something from HGSS as an NPC mentions how walking makes it less likely that you'll encounter a wild Pokemon iirc.
 
I think this new Version is a well rounded version :) I like it more than sinnoh which just had too much mountain ,
I like the different caves an all the different ways you can go on a single route , and the bridges .
I wish only that they had a rebattler thing like in the other versions. no proper side game and no rebattler makes it a bit hard to do a lot more after you have finished.

I like how some of the music reminds me of other games, such as the music in the abundant shrine sounds like zelda :)
 
I both love and hate the triple battling in White..I love it because it lets me use three pokemon <3 and that means I could easily train two pokemon up using it.. I dislike it because it feels like they were trying to top double battles, and it seems they could have done better :/. I also love the new pokemon, most of them are so cuuuute. And there is such an abundance of Grass types which I luuuuurve so much, and the graphics are amazing. A thing I dislike though is the battling :S. The moves dont look too good, unlike previous games..And the whole moving is alright I suppose, but I think they should have worked on battling a bit longer instead it seems like they tried to rush it and get it out there. Hopefully it will be better in the next game ;D.
 
I love rotation battles but I don't like that there are hardly any places t use them. not even online.
 
Unova one step forward two steps back?

First of all this is not a complaining thread.

IN unova there are lots of new things C-Gear,long bridges,Transfer Lab,new Elite Four style,Seasons and so on. With all these new things does anyone else feel like we lost more than we gained.In Unova we lost Contest/Pokeatholon,pokemon walking with you,old rod,saffari zone,underground and so on.I just would like to see how other people feel about this
 
The pokeathalon is a big loss. I suppose White Forest / Black City is a great addition to make up for things like the Safari Zone though. I don't really care about any of the rest. That said, the C-gear is something that needs to be further developed. Anything that can be done in the rooms of a pokecenter should be able to be done on the C-gear. If they do something like that in future games, anything they dump is fine with me.
 
The core gameplay of Get starter -> Beat Gym Leaders -> Beat Evil Team -> Beat Elite Four -> Battle Tower/Wi-fi/Catch em all remains unchanged. I could care less that all the little sidetracks have been lost or replaced. If anything, all the better that I don't get distracted by all the little sidequests so I can focus on the core more.
 
The only things I miss are Pokeathlon and PokeRadar. Other than that, they didn't really cut anything that I liked.
