I'm trying to walk through some grass, and every step or two I take, I get in a battle.
1 – Leaftail|
The Wi-Fi in this game is extremely dissapointing. They need more options for battles. The options they have now suck horribly.
Also, my only gripe with the in-game plot is how straightforward Unova is. It's a big circle, basically. Go through one route, you're to the next city. That takes away a bit from the "exploration" factor imo. Just to compare. Hoenn: ![]() Unova: ![]() I dunno. To me, it seems more entertaining to have a lot of different ways to get places. |
2 – Leaftail, ShinyI think it's kind of annoying how if your cursor is close to a location on the map, it's moved to the location. It's difficult sometimes to select a location because it forces my cursor somewhere else...
1 – AlakazamasterI hate that Entralink is only wireless. If it was WiFi, it would have been amazing.
4 – coteup, AuraKshatriya, Alakazamaster, ShinyEV training berries. There are none.
Flat battle Wi-Fi matches with full teams, we lack.
Wi-Fi Multi Battle Train. We do not have.
Sad day. :<

Actually, a special coding was implemented in B/W that was previously only applied to Deoxys in Generation III. EVs are recalculated after every battle for all Pokémon now, as opposed to after a level-up, meaning they can change even at Level 100, if my understanding is correct.

I don't like that they removed the Pokémon following you that was in HeartGold/SoulSilver. It would have made the games just a little more enjoyable.
1 – The Spirit of TimeThere's nothing really to do after the game. I wish they would've expanded the storyline a bit after.
That's the main reason why I restarted my White.
5 – KrayzeeGuy, Alakazamaster, Shadow, coteup, Leaftailtheres no safari zone, pokemon musicals suck, and the wireless entralink takes forever to get on.

What I also hated was that this was for DS. Why put this game on the same system that the earlier generation was on? If this was on 3DS, loads of improvements would be made.

1 – Justjack91Honestly, i think Game Freak is starting to run out of ideas. the names and sprites have seems pretty basic for the most part. like Lampent. guess what kind of pokemon it is? a lamp -_-. oh, and Vanillish, the ice cream cone. And the names are the weirdest I've heard yet. Oshawott, Cofagrius. seems like they just bashed their heads against their keyboards to get some of the names. I like Black and White, but i just think they are starting to run out of ideas.

Another thing I hate alot is that they made too many new moves.
|
1 – Masterge77|
Too much? There was definitely much more moves in Gen 4. I don't know what you mean by that.
On-Topic, I hated that Pokemon like Larvesta that took 59 whole levels, exactly, to evolve... [source ] |
I don't like that they took out pokemon following you and I don't like half the new pokemon.
The weather trio (Landorus,Thundurus,and tornadus) don't even look a bit like they could be pokemon.
1 – GalliumGrantOne thing I absolutly positively hate are
2 – Masterge77, GalliumGrantI miss the Poké Radar. How will I entertain the thought of shiny-hunting now? D:

A few things I absolutely, positively hate are:

It's horribly boring to play through it again once you've beat it once.

1 – ShinyYou can't transfer items with the pokemon from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. I know this is because of the new tms, but it was tedious earning all those battles points over again for the power items and other items used in competitive battling.
1 – 7dewott8While it was a good Pokemon game in general, it didn't really seem like a Pokemon game to me. It didn't give me that feel that Gens 1-4 did, plus some of the Pokemon designs are just terrible x.x

3 – 7dewott8, Reuniclus, LucarioMarioI have two things i dont like about this game: 1)No VS Seeker and 2)No auto lv100 wifi battles. If thet deside to a third game for of these games they better add these for the sake of most people. That or bring back VS seeker and higher lv trainers.

Yes! This.
This didn't feel like a Pokemon game and that was the main problem. It felt more like Advance Wars and holy ****, did that bother me big time. Also, yes a few of the Pokemon are cool and well made to me, but... Sawk and his red companion just annoyed me. They didn't even look like Pokemon. They looked like Ben 10 rejects put together in Virtua Cop. Can you count the polygons? O_o Come Gen 6, I hope they'll use my idea of calling the games "Pokemon Crimson and Cobalt" and maybe go for a classic rock approach with the music because clearly Techno didn't work at all, while taking ideas from their fans and paying them. Hell I've even made three legendary Bug Pokemon with trademark moves for them that I wanted to give to Gamefreak for Black and White and I didn't even know how to contact them. |
7 – Shadow, LucarioMario, Reuniclus, Justjack91, AuraKshatriya, Alakazamaster, Pingouin7Magic Bounce is great on Espeon, right? Reflects everything that would usually cause a status condition of some form just like Synchronize but better.
...Except, through personal Audino spamming, I found out it reflects good attacks too like the Healing Beam Audino uses sometimes on you. It's not as much a complaint as ironic as now you miss out on that whenever you train against an Audino (til you're higher leveled of course and can kill it in one hit).
In summary, Magic Bounce has its draw backs too.
1 – Pingouin7I got a japanese trainer club account. I get emails from them every so often about things selling in japan for pokemon or things about there tournaments, TCG, and the games. I dont go on it much anymore cause well i cant read japanese but i look at the pictures to figure out what they mean though.
zekrom= palkia and it sucks. i hate the design, is it me or does someone have a bee fetish?. Reshiram however, is not a rip-off of any sort, and people who have SANE minds will know the difference between fur and man parts. IT`S FUR, PEOPLE.
