5th Gen The Broken/Annoying 5th Thread

[JonnyPhoenyx]

So I was thinking, does anyone consider any BW in-game pokes to be broken or just frustrating to fight?

I hear Tepig is basically the game's "easy mode," and using event pokemon can such as Victini can be devasting for a time.
And more on the annoying side than broken, when an opponent has Blitzel and it uses a move like flame charge. Totally didn't see that coming when I first encountered one.

Thoughts?

I think the game was extremely easy. There's Audino for easy exp. gain, you're given a lucky egg to make grinding even easier, plus there's a doctor or nurse around every corner... It felt like the game was holding my hand the entire time.

Why, back in my day we had to walk 10 miles up a hill to get to the Pokemon Center! Both ways! And we didn't have your fancy-smancy runnin' shoes either!

I found the game to be extremely easy up until I fought with Drayden..

White was a lot easier than Platinum, in my experience. I really did find it easy until the eight gym, until I really had to grind until I had over-levelled Pokemon. Come to think of it, now that I've reset my game, I'll have to do that all over again... Boob.

The story mode was rather easy but the trainer card ranks were not. The Battle subway was really hard; having to get both Super Single and Super Double with a 49 streak was difficult, the National Dex gets harder every year. I still didn't get all of the accessories nor the entralink powers.

Really? I thought it's been somewhat challenging so far (I just lowered to bridge to so and so town after the 4th gym). Of course, I get a little OCD when I play and will spend hours looking for a pokemon with the particular gender/ability/nature I want before progressing.
...and what's grinding?

It was just as easy as any previous generation. And grinding training pokemon leveling them up to good to decent levels through some times rigorous training in the wild or again many trainers. For instance if you try and go against the first gym leaders with a second stage starter you'd be grinding to do so since it would take awhile to level up your starter against the weak trainers and pokemon at that point in the game.

It's very easy game to finish but the elite four and near the ending was hard and also going to black city.

Know who's annoying? Freaking Boldore. Those freaking Sturdys making an otherwise easy KO drag on for longer than it should be. Honorable mention goes to Sawk for the same reason.

I know, right! I love that evolution chain, so the ability actually made it really easy for me to catch the exact one I wanted. ^_^

Users seem to have misunderstood your post somewhat and have discussed whether the games are easy or not, rather than Pokemon you find annoying and such (which would be a much better discussion, considering we don't have anything for it).

And thus, because of a thread already discussing if they are easy or not, with most of the posts being about that, I'm going to have to lock this. On the plus side, you're free to remake this as long as you clearly state you're discussing annoying Pokemon to encounter (as long as you don't discuss the encounter rate, because that's already covered).

Oh yes, and if you'd like to discuss how much you like Boldore's evolution line there's a thread just for that. :3
