What really makes you mad about Pokemon?

[Mewtwo]

The fact Mew is an event-only :'(

But Mewtwo's in Cerulean Cave! XD

 

[Dark Shocktail]

Event Pokemon - Just why? It's like punishing the people who can't get to the event because it didn't go to their country. I'm extremely lucky to have my Aura Mew ><

The Anime - It is so bad, when I went to my friends house I had to laugh at the poor quality. It was incredible. o.o

 

[ultraviolet]

aargghh.

 

[Koori Renchuu]

I hate the fact that people hate the anime so much. GET USED TO THE NEW VOICE ACTORS ALREADY! Bidoof, Tentacool, Zubat etc.

 

[Worst Username Ever]

I think you mean elbows?

X3 Yes, of course. I guess I was pretty tired and mixed those two up. *fixes*

And more stuff:
-That you can't get Celebi AT ALL in legal ways, and there's STILL no event for it. If a G/S remake comes, maybe they will make a Celebi event?
Though events kinda suck, too. You HAVE to be at a certain place a certain day or you can't get it. Arrgh.
- People that are all like: "The originals 151 are the ONLY good ones, all the 2nd generation and newer SUCK SO MUCH" It's okay that you prefer the original ones, but... there GOTTA be one you at least don't hate among the newer ones too.

how stupid they usually are so they can't tell when Team Rocket is in a disguise

Agree.

*Team Rocket comes in wearing glasses*
Ash: *normal*
*Team Rocket takes of glasses*
Ash: OMG IT'S TEAM ROCKET!

It's not actually the voice actors. I just don't like it anymore.

"Cave filler" Pokemon - why is there so little variety, but so many of them? Unless you pack plenty of Repels you're "finding" wild Pokemon every few steps.

Pokemon Battle Revolution - Pretty much a big let down this. The customising trainer options were pretty pitiful, there was nothing to do but battle and following Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, it can't compare or keep up with it. Don't get me wrong, the design of the battles and effects of the attacks was beautiful and getting to see fist-to-face Pokemon action is what everyone's been wanting. But this game wanted thirty pounds of my money and it was not worth it ><

Yes. There can be great gems of awesome/comedy in them. ^^

Agreement with the "people who think Pokemon is for children" thing. My parents play it. Heck, my mom's pretty much addicted to it!

Please say we were mixed up at birth somehow and I end up being given your parents. :3

I mean, I assume we were both born in totally different countries and at totally different times, but there's a chance, surely...

 

[S. E.]

How much of a let down the anime was. Seriously, it had potential.

*insert angry/sad/shouting smiley here*

And events. Most of the ones I would have wanted the most are before I was playing Pokemon. Totally not fair.

 

[Renteura]

I hate Ash's new voice, Dawn, how stupid they usually are so they can't tell when Team Rocket is in a disguise, and how you only get one chance to catch a legendary.

Oh yes.

And poison sting? What, a 10% chance of poisoning? I'll try it. Nope, npc not poisoned. Npc used poison sting! Tentacool was poisoned.

That always happens in Sapphire. Always.

*Points up* that.
and how they just have to yell "It's Team Rocket!" every single time they show up. Team Rocket's been attacking you almost every episode for 10 seasons. WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE ALREADY!!!

 

[Not Meowth]

I think the anime's largely where this "childish" misconception arose. I mean, read what Butterfree had to say about it on the TCoD main site; stuff for little kids tends to repeat the same simple thing over and over every episode. And the Pokémon anime is very repetitive from what I remember....

Ash and co. arrive in some place.
They discover some Pokémon/trainer or another.
Maybe they battle it.
Team Rocket show up and try some stupid plan to catch Pikachu or some other key Pokémon in the episode.
They fight off Team Rocket- who ALWAYS vanish in the exact same way (flying into the distance screaming "Team Rocket's blasting off again!".)
The end.
Repeat for the next few dozen episodes.

No offense to fans of the anime, but that's what I think.

Oh yes. YES YES YES......
Also I might add,
MAGMORTAR.

Oh, yeah. The Lucario/Mewtwo fan war. ><

I actually have a legit Celebi. |D /brag It's level 70 and I got it at the 10aniv event. After waiting in line for over an hour. Yeah. Pity its moveset sucks though... Ancientpower? Aromatherapy? Wtf?

Anyway, you want to know what bugs me most? The stupid freakin' plotlines in the games. << Evil team, evil team, evil team, legendary legendary legendary. Get a life. And give the fangame makers something better to work with. Stop being so obsessed with patterns and tradition and do something new and unexpected for a change.

Also, the target audience. << But there's nothing they can do about that.

 

[Shadowstar]

Yeah, I don't like to play my Pokemon Pearl anymore because of it... Hey programmers.

Proggrammers:Yes?

GET A LIFE!D<

Better plotline:Evil team>Legendary>Chance to become leader of Team X/or Champion(You STAY champion)>Befriend Legendarys to catch(give 'em some value...)>ect. ect.

Oh yes, Nintendo events do suck, especially when the majority of them are accross the contry.>.>;

The 'encounter' rate.

 

[Frozen Weta]

And the Pikachu gender difference. God, that annoys me.

Yeah, that is just freaking stupid. Why did they have to chop off a piece of female Pika's tail? It looked awesome before.

Oh, and the hideous heart-shaped horn in female Heracross (which actually looks like a deformed spork anyways.)

Some of the Pokemon needed NO gender dimorphism.

 

[Phoenixsong]

I agree that the heart shape is a little silly, but female Hercules beetles don't have horns. Removing the horn would mess up Heracross's overall design, so they had to do something to dull it instead. Heracross's gender dimorphism makes a lot more sense than most, actually.

On that note, the Blaziken gender difference. Again, yes, hens have smaller combs than roosters do, but stunting Blaziken's just makes it look... stunted. :/

Thanks for clearing that up, but had they made it look more heart-like (or at least slightly spikier), I'd have been okay with it. I just think this design makes female Heracross look like they have a spork on their head.

 

[Drifloon Rocks]

I agree about the game plots. Team Evil wants to use a legendary to take over the world. You must battle and/or catch the legendary and battle the leader of Team Evil, then beat the elite four.

I liked the plot of PMD2. Try something like that. A more creative plot.
