Thread: What trivial thing in the Pokémon games drives you crazy?

Not been able to use sacred ash in battle

The new design for the Pokémon BW2 male protagonist...

Not having the option to tell the game you know what you're doing in the beginning. Old man I know how to catch a weedle!

Firstly, the way that your bag could only have 20 or 30 different items in Gen I, and that you only had one pocket.
This meant that you could never get rid of useless stuff like the SS Anne ticket and the Card Key.

I also hate how to use your HMs in Gen I, you had to open the menu, go to your Pokemon party, select the right Pokemon, and then select the right HM just to cut down a tree or move a boulder. Whereas in Gen II and onwards, you just stand next to the tree, the boulder, the water, or whatever, and all you have to do is press A.

Compared to Gen III and onwards, I wouldn't complain about going into the menu for use of HM. If you're used to it, it goes much faster than in Gen III+, where you have to send out the Pokemon before it uses the HM, even though you send out the Pokemon automatically after having examined a tree/rock and picked 'yes'. I'm actually more annoyed at gen III+ which it being over-realistic. Best is of course gen II, where you neither have to go into the menu or send out the Pokemon from its ball.

About the items, you can put the ticket and card key in your PC. I'm not sure how many items can be stored in the PC though.

What annoys me in B/W is that the pokeballs don't have there own pocket. Sometimes I like to scroll through to find how man pokeballs I have without having to talk to the clerk at the store or go into battle.

The item bag in DPPt, especially for the main items pocket.
Very slow to scroll from top to bottom, unless if you're trying to move an item, then scrolling will be faster.
I dunno why they did that, maybe some stupid reason we don't care about :p

At least it's being fixed in HGSS...

But seriously, what annoys me the most (although, even this doesn't annoy me much) is the fact that the games aren't more like the anime.

Hey... I giga-disagree here !
ANIME should be like the GAMES.

And to answer the thread... one thing that is really annoying is the lack of means to raise your Pokemon to level 100 when you have already beaten the league. Why don't they create a League mixed with the Battle Tower ? I mean, you have to win the highest number of battles, opponents are never the same... but you win experience. :)

I am really annoyed at Pokemon that only appear on a certain day... Espically right now since I remembered, I missed Drifloon...

Well, I believe you can just reset the clock and calendar on your DS so that it's Friday now.

Thinking about it now, won't it really suck when you're DS games finally crap out after all those years and you can't get those certain pokemon? Is this even possible?

Were I end up hating the new Pokemon when they leak it, then when the game comes out and I get it, I'm perfectly fine with the new Pokemon.

Why can't I be fine with the Pokemon to begin with!? Mabey it's the Japanese names...

I think encountering the Pokemon in-game puts it into a different perspective than simply seeing a leaked image.

That, and usually, most of us have gotten over our hatred of some of the designs by the time the games get across the sea. (:

"Go to the battle tower! You'll train and get stronger."

OK. Oh, wait. The battle tower Pokémon don't actually give you any EXP. >_>

This and:

"Go to the Battle Tower! You'll see alot of Pokemon!"

Ok. That will my Pokedex up faster. NOT!!!

the fact that if you want certain baby pokemon to fill the dex you have to give the parent a hold item like the lax incense to get one.
