I have to wonder why the games make NO attempt to change their gameplay and graphics at all. It sort of made sense when all they had was the gameboy and gameboy advanced since the tech was limited, but with the release of the DS they have no excuse for the archaic style they insist on using.

It makes my teeth itch!

One of the major things I always hated... Walking down the road and suddenly some 40 year old fat ass mountain climber picks a fight with me and I'm not allowed to say no. Then five seconds later some ten year old with an odd insect fixation also picks a fight with me... And again I can not say no. Why can't I refuse to battle these trainers? WHY?!

Why can't I just climb over that hill? Why can't my flying pokemon carry me around to avoid battles? Why is it that a ten year old is entrusted with a pokemon that is more or less a god? Why can't I choose my age and appearance? I mean... I don't want to wear a god damn beret!

How is it that these pokemon haven't leveled a city at some point in time? Lastly... What happened to the days when pokemon actually looked kinda cool? Why're they all so robotic now? T_T

10 year olds being given the ability to cath creatures with amazing powers.

And why does no one have guns? Iwouls be roaming the world with molotovs and an Ak-47 just in case.

The only thing that bothers me and it's the same with most RPGs is why no one cares if you just invite yourself into their house.

The lack of bathrooms...

Does everyone just crap in the woods?
Yes. That's why the pokemon are so pissed off and attack you all the time.

Well, that would explain that particularly angry female Bidoof that makes it her duty to break EVERY.SINGLE.SHINY.CHAIN I am attempting!

WHY BIDOOF!? WHYYYYY? D:

You want to know why I wanted to catch it? It was awesome, that's why.

After many attempts, I found one with the "Ghost" sprite, caught it, and my game didn't glitch! I was owning the worl with that thing. Even managed to trade it all the way to my Emerald Version in succession and kill the Battle Frontier with the damn thing.

Plus, I don't like cheating in video games anyway.
And now I know you are lying... -.-

The little Missingno thing that glitched up my Pokedex every fucking time I tried to catch it.
Does no one on this site know that if you just run away from it whatever item is in your 7th item slot glitches and gives you 3000 of it?

I never understood people trying to catch it, it was just a way to get 3000 master balls to catch zapdos, articuno, moltres and mewtwo without a fight. Or 3000 rare candies to powerlevel weaksauce pokemon into something able to be used.

Or if you go to the safari zone, fly out, then do the missingno glitch you can catch safari zone Pokemon with masterballs? Headache eliminated.

EDIT: sorry Bhaalspawn if you actually know this I just grabbed your example because I see this a lot but I've never seen anyone describe the glitches I have above.

Ah well. Fair enough. Personally after the third or forth playthrough I looked for ways to break the game. When you do the missingno glitch other random Pokemon appear. I caught a snorlax that never stopped leveling. When it hit 99 it turned over to 1 but kept all it's stats.

Why is it that Noone else is trying to take the gym challenges?

An why can't there be like physical contact and after effects in the games?
Like I dunno, when you use bite, or crunch or whatever chomping move you want to use, why do't you have and animation of the pokemon going over there and actually BITING the ther one?

Or when you use a fire attack and the pokemon gets a burn. Actually have a burn or something.
Pretty much have it more, how would I say it... Realistic?

Think about it, Houndoom uses bite on Bulbasaur, critical hit, the houndoom takes a chunk out of the bulbasaurs neck and the trainer pulls the pokemon back into the pokeball to prevent it from dieing of blood loss or something.

or why do all pokemon and people have names in captital letters.

its not a mudkip, its a MUDKIP or a MEWTWO or a LUGIA.
Its like they want you to yell when you read the name.

Or real villains. Like maybe how Team Rocket is using pokemon for evil.
It seems every evil crime syndicate in that game are really just in trouble for pokemon/animal abuse, nothing like world domnation sinister.

At least in Ruby/saphire/emerald, I mean RUBY/SAPHIRE/EMERALD, the team magma and aqua were changing the planets total land mass, altering the weather and superheating/flooding the globe.

Team Rocket were just targets for PETA.

Like you said at the start. Every time my pokemon got healed after a defeat, the "we hope to see you soon." Seemed an awful lot like a "We hope you fail in the near future". Oh, and the fact that Team whatever-the-hell-it-is only tried to fight with Pokemon. Apparently, if you dont have someone to fight for you, you are prohibited to go beat the crap out of that guy.
