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

This. I love how after you get a certain number of stars on your trainer card in HGSS, Joy just says, "Oh hey, Player! The usual?" But I wish she would cut her speech down after the first time you see her! There's no need to have her repeating herself all the time. We know what she does after the first time.

Seriously!? I didn't know that O.O

Anyway, I find the PC box operations to be a bit annoying. I usually hit the "continue" button instead of leaving, or vice versa. The way triple battles work right now are kind of weird too, I don't like how sometime my pokemon has no choice, but to attack nothing and waste a pp.

Not being able to deposit items in the PC anymore. Seriously, a bag can't be THAT big to take everything with you, and it's so frustrating to go through all the list to find what I need. Of course I could sell unwanted items, but there are times that I feel I should save this for later, or important items that's taking up space when I don't need it right now. A separate depositing device certainly helps

Something that was added in HGSS but inexplicably taken away in BW, the auto run option.

Moving the Pokeballs into the main Items pocket in BW. Also, with how annoying scrolling through items was in DPPt, why did Mail of all useless things get a whole pocket to itself? It makes no sense...

- The fact that if you run into a pokémon in the overworld, it isn't registered in the pokédex. Uxie is floating in front of my eyes, what's the fucking problem?
- No item storage.
- No poison damage outside of battle.
- HGSS radio (not the radio itself, but how it changes back to background music all the time)
- Heads in BW (the overworld sprites, that is)
- Start up in Firered/Leafgreen and the C-gear question every time
- No pokéball pocket in the bag in BW. In fact, having an infinite bag in itself is annoying, not just because they removed item storage with the addition.

That, after the perspective changes in BW, you have to get physically in the face of someone to talk to them, rather than leaving the implied space the previous games' tile-based perspective had.

In fact, most NPCs in scenes do talk to you from a tile away.

This all only applies vertically, though.

Why aren't the English European versions of the game in UK English? I even sent an email to TPCi asking if the Kanji/Katakana feature in the Japanese BW could be used as "U.S. English / UK English" thing. But no. Hell, aside from the product code on the stickers, you probably wouldn't be able to tell one from the other. IT'S COLOUR CHANGE, NOT COLOR CHANGE!

The price of Battle Tower/Subway items is also too damn high!

At least they didn't release Pokemon Gray. (;

The fact that I must waste a moveslot to teach a Pokemon with wings how to fly. Bravairy's animation has it flying, but it can't fly without an HM. Really?

The gym puzzles, esp. with the 8th gym in B & W and Sabrina's gym in every game available.

I wish you could still store items in the PC, so i don't have a mega-list to scroll through all the time! i liked to store stuff like evolutionary stones etc in boxes.. items that you wouldn't need while 'in the field' so to speak

I'm annoyed at that you need an empty slot in the party whenever someone gives you a new Pokemon. In Green version a new Pokemon is always sent to the box, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work in the new versions.

It's also strange that you have to show your bike to the man by the cycling road, since the game should automatically check for it in your bag. In some version of Pocket Monsters, I think it's Green, you don't have to show the bike.

Lol I was literally just about to post this then you posted it. It seems like a step back. They used to go straight to the PC, now we need to make room for them in the party.

The fact that Master Balls and Dreams Balls rock. Gives me a mini heart attacks every. single. time.

Someone mentioned earlier that the tutorials in BW aren't that long. They really are. It took me 15-20 minutes to get through all the ones in the beginning of Black (just did it again this morning)

The fact that most houses in the game have one bedroom. I mean, there's usually more than one person living there. I DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYONE IN THE POKÉMON WORLD IS LIVING IN POVERTY.

The fact that we can't use Cut on grass anymore. I need my decapitated Ratatta/Patrats!
Also I find the fact that roaming pokemon change location every freakin' time you cross a boarder. It's so irritating and why I hate roaming pokemon.
