    OMG I was just wondering does this annoy anyone else during battles?
    I LOVE pokemon so much and wouldn't usually have a bad word to say about it but my gosh i was getting wound up when It was real late one night and I just wanted to win a battle but it kept saying "Rain continues to fall" or hail! Whats up with me? maybe i need to chill hehe!

    The worst of it is I am sure my super repels dont work! honest they hate me!! xx
     
    a repel only works if your leader Pokemon is higher than the wild Pokemon and no they can't be in the same level or its not going to work. I kind of like the rain when I bring my water types out but when its my Fire and ground I don't like it



    :t354:TG
     
    Don't worry. I hate it, too.

    If the creators just made battles much faster. For example, the "POKÉMON used ATTACK" should be at the same time as the animation starts. The effectiveness message just seconds later when the animation is still there and the HP Bar should be lowering at the same time. The weather messages would be shown at the same time as the weather animation. Everything would be better this way.

    Let's just hope the next generation (if there is one) has all this.

    OMG I am so glad it isnt just me being my usual nightmare self!
    I ran through snow point city and I tried to avoid all trainer battles and run when they turned, thats why I missed an important HM think it was Rock climb as I thought stuff stopping and ran past the house! that'll teach me had to go back again!!

    OH and turned animations off? didnt know you could xx
     
    Gosh you people are really impatient >.>... if it bothers you THAT much turn off battle animations...
     
    Even with battle animations off, the games still run far slower than the previous generation. I have no idea whether that's because it makes it easier for wifi battles, or whether Japanese people can't read fast, or that the games are aimed at children so slowing the text speed down gives them chance to read it.

    At least give us the option to speed things up, cos right now the 'Fast' option is equivalent to the Advance's 'Normal' option for speed. It seems that way to me at least
     
    I can understand that, making all the games run at a fixed speed for wifi. I'm just saying the battles seem to run longer because of the text speed.
     
    Battles go slower because they put a lot more detail into the attacks, I haven't noticed that much of a difference in battle length, sure the messages can be "annoying" but think about it, they could just leave the message out and then if you forget the sun is still intense, you would forget about it's benefits, or the other player might not have been looking at the screen. I'm really not bothered by it... but I don't see why people should just find reasons to complain, seriously... I don't think the battle system has gotten much longer, you wanna have fun? take a Wobbuffet against a Wobbuffet in Fire Red/ Leaf Green... that happened to me once and I was sitting there for like 20 minutes so one of them could use Struggle... Then that took forever...

    Maybe it's just because I'm from the generation that grew up with some loading times and saving times, but I'm surprised no one has complained about how freaking long Wi-fi connecting takes in some cases, how long saving takes, how long blah blah blah takes, how slow regular walking is at the beginning of the game... ect.
     
    Ok shadowtails I see what you mean hun, I am so impatient and I do hate that about myself, I often swear at the game as I was trying to get through MT Cornet (ERM or whatever it is) and wild Pokemon kept jumping out on me...I did curse!! All in all though it is pretty good that These are the only two things that annoy me about the game, All in all it is amazing and I always have loved Pokemon on GBA and past consoles.

    Ignore me I might go away! :(
     
    You know you can speed the text up...

    It doesn't bother me at all.. I mean it takes 2/3 seconds for it to say 'Rain continues to fall' etc. Besides, weather is part of the game now, I don't see the fuss
     
    Rather than the annoying text, as I started off with Infernape, the Flamethrower was completely useless, rendering me with like no moves to use against the opponents Grass types :P (No, I didn't catch a Starly haha) so I couldn't believe I actually lost to a damn computer player XD

    And did anyone know that theres an extra turn between a pokemon fainting and sending out the next one?

    Dragonite and Salamence vs Tyranitar and Aggron

    Dragonite was gonna use Earthquake
    and Salamence was gonna use Flamethrower on Tyranitar

    Dragonite uses Earthquake!
    Tyranitar fainted!
    Aggron fainted!
    Salemnce uses Flamethrower!
    But there was no target...
    Dragonite healed a little hp with Leftovers!
    Dragonite and Salamence took damage from Sandstorm!


    In GBA games it would be like this instead
    Dragonite uses Earthquake!
    Tyranitar fainted!
    Aggron fainted!
    ??? sends out Venemoth!
    Salemnce uses Flamethrower!
    Venemoth fainted!
    Dragonite healed a little hp with Leftovers!
    Dragonite and Salamence took damage from sandstorm!
