Things in Pokemon that bothered you.

[Erana]

Revelation all. There are real animals in pokemon. One of the chefs on the boat named i cant remember what in red/yellow/blue mentions that eel is on the menu. Fancy that.

And yes this thread made me go play Pokemon.

Or you can read the pokedex. It mentions Indian elephants three or four times. The hilarious part is that they seem to use it as a form of measurement. Seriously. Ghastly and raichu have it in their pokedex entries for sure, and I know there's another pokemon that's said to fly off with indian elephants, or something.

The only thing that has annoyed me about pokemon is all the new ones they come out with, which ofcourse takes the crowd with it! whatever happened to liking the original 150!

Obviously in the pokemon universe they have done away with the imperial or metric systems of measurement and have moved on to the far more exciting elephant system.

The above post is made of pure win.

That brings up another point about the anime: Everyone completely forget about how Ash's pikachu is supposed to be extra-special-powerful 'n whatnot. I mean, in the first few episodes, everyone's like, "OMG, that's an unusual pikachu," or "that's one X-treme rodent you got there, kid." I mean, there's so much potential for a generic anime plot when you have a superpowered anything! Why would they waste it?
It also bothered me how meowth in the anime is the only talking, bipedal meowth in the pokemon universe, but they keep depicting all meowth like that.

The main thing that really annoys me about the pokemon games is that Ruby and Sapphire was not compatible with pokemon Gold and silver, and that I can't trade pokemon between my DS and the Wii games the way the GBA ones allowed you to do with the game cube.

Pokemon that you have to stalk all over the map in order to capture. It was cute with the legendary dogs but got really annoying really fast. On a similar note, pokemon only obtainable through trading with a special item attached to a lesser form,
or requiring you to talk to people underground or only through some special event that will probably never come to Australia, especially when the game requires you to catch them all to get a particular reward.

so yeah...A lot of things bother me about the pokemon games, I still king of like them though.

Pretty much this, not being able to play the goddamn game and getting Pokemon without doing some online shit and events. Also, the map is specifically designed for people who want to be THE ULTIMATE POKE TRAINER, people from Jubilife city can get to Eterna only if they have uber Pokemon, and in the cities no one does nothing they just stand around, how do they survive.

Dugtrio evolves from Diglett, but it's just 3 Digletts in a huddle...

It's the same with Magneton!

Well

Spoiler

And good luck using a dugtrio now without seeing this.

Y'know, it's surprisingly pleasing to find someone else who enjoys inflicting this on others.
Ahh, the internet. How would we scar our friends and family without it?


EDIT: Thanks to the random button on bulbapedia, I've been reminding of this wonderful little trauma.
Parasect. Reading the pokedex entry has scared me for life, and I now have an urge to capture all paris I find and keep them at level six for eternity.

 

[Agent Larkin]

That little kids had that much power. Seriously bugs me.

 

[xProvidence]

I didn't like how Pokemon kinda stole the whole "creature capture" type of gameplay from Shin Megami Tensei and also stole the credit for the gameplay while SMT was more immersive in my opinion.

I also find the lack of activity from the trainer annoying, he/she are basically a supervisor. Imagine if the trainer interacted in the battles. I would prefer it if there was like a Star Ocean Till The End of Time type battle system for the trainer where the trainer uses weapons and has a shield which acts as their health and your pokemon fight along side you. If you can make the pokemon fit into a pokeball then surely a shield isn't out of the question.

 

[Solstrana91]

Well lets see here.

Machoke, it's been said that its skin stretches and rips because it can't contain its muscles. Now Google a picture of one and take a look at it arms.

Latios/Latias carries around Soul Dew. Soul Dew, is made from the soul of a dead Lati@s. You only get to see one of them.

Lickilicky, is a really fat Pokemon that eats everything in sight. It can learn the move muddy water, which is like th move surf, but brown. Consider how that could work, just don't do it while your eating.

Hypno, it eats children. Drifloon, it's a cute balloon thing. It tries to drag children to hell.

Golbat, it's a vampire bat, and feeds on people. It's nearly two meters tall and weighs over 120 pounds.

Parasect, when they evolve from Paras, the fungus zombifies them. Hell bug Pokemon in general. Spiders a full yard in length, hornets three feet tall and that attack in massive swarms, Man-sized praying mantises , 4 foot tall scorpions, 6 foot long dragonflies.


In short, Pokemon is disturbing as hell.

Well....I won't be sleeping any time soon.

Why have Nintendo not realised how successful a Pokemon MMORPG would be? Heart Gold/ Soul Silver sold over 2 million copies in the first month and a half in Japan alone.

Because people like to be the chosen one.

...You just single-handedly destoryed the argument for the pokemon MMO for me... mind blown

 

[Kodlak]

How the hell did they get some of the crazily massive pokemon into a ball the size of a fist... without airholes.

 

[TheBadGamer]

MY bigest problem is that you need a friend, like if I have Pokemon Gold my friend need to have Pokemon Silver so that I can get every pokemon. You see I don't have 2nd friend who like pokemon.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Brock's eyes!!!

Spoiler

Spoiler

No wonder he keeps his eyes shut.

 

[Benj17]

two words - Safari Zone

yeah, woo you get to catch all these cool pokemon, Oh look nidorino oh look another nidorino ... Oh look another fucking nidorino

Lets go fishing

...

Since When do Nidorinos swim?

yerr

 

[DudeMan1031]

In the game:
Why can't I choose which Pokemon to use instead of just sending out the one in my first slot
Even after getting all the badges and beating the Elite Four, that old man is still trying to teach me how to catch Pokemon
They never give you your own entourage like in the show
In the anime:
Brock's eye's (or lack thereof)
Whatever happened between Brock and Professor Ivy
Why does Ash keep dumping all his old Pokemon

 

[ssgt splatter]

My #1 biggest problem is how T-H-I-C-K Ash is. And I'm not talking about battling either, I'm talking about how he NEVER notices that he has gotten like literally 15+ girls to fall in love with him and at least like 4 or 5 of them have said something along the lines of marrying Ash!
Ash, you could be gettin' some if you'd PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION!!! I mean really, sometimes a girl will say something that's oh so obvious and it goes right over his head.

That's the biggest problem I have with the TV show.

#2) How is it when people fall from like a 100ft drop or are blown up that they all jump right back up with barely a scratch? Team Rocket is the best example for this.

 

[DoctorWhat]

Why exactly can I only jump over a wall if I'm heading south? Am I going with the wind or something? Clearly the wall isn't very tall, as I can still jump over it on my freaking BIKE, but only when heading south... whoopdi-doo

 

[Darchrow]

The fact that the Pokemon keep repeating their name as a form of communication, it annoyed the fuck out of me.

 

[Rensenhito]

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
That is disturbing indeed, my friend.
(For those of you who didn't look it up, Machoke has these red tears in the skin on its arms... where the muscle underneath is showing through... that shit's gon' get infected!)
