3) Legendary Pokemon. Mewtwo and Mew were fantastic. But look where it's gone? Space/time pokemone? a GOD pokemon for pete's sake? Sweet mango chutney, when will it stop? where could they possibly go from a GOD pokemon??
They aren't. I found the basic plot line for the 13th movie online and it seems to be about Celebi forseeing the future of Entei, Suicune, and Riaku fighting and it has to stop them somehow so it looks like they're not even going to try to do something original.

Why the hell are you the only one who can ever stop the badguys?! Even the Elite Four are ALWAYS a harder a fighter than those clowns that serve as villains!

And why the hell isn't Ash like 20 years old? I thought Meowth once said something along the lines of "We've been trying to capture that Pikachu since before you were born" or something.

NO GAMBLING IN PLATINUM? I like being a corrupt supposedly 10 year old kid! Barrowman!

Why are you allowed to capture Legendaries...? Surely they're Legendary because... well, they're Legendary and not supposed to be caught by 10-year-old kids with Charizards, Typlosions, Infernapes and Blazikens?

The fact that all Pokemon will accept slavery once they've been caught in a ball.
If I were a captured Pokemon, I'd just be waiting for the first time I was sent out to do battle to turn around and tear the little fucker who caught me a new one!
Especially Alakazam. Isn't his IQ supposed to be like 5000?
They should be the fucking master race. Humans should be their slaves, building pyramids in their honour.
That almost sounds like the Predator. :)
woah... Alakazam even LOOKS a bit like Predator [small]Dun dun duuuuuuuuun!!![/small]

Everything. If it wasn't for Super Mario Melee or Brawl, I wouldn't play any game Pokemon related.

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
I think Squirtle and bulbasaur had to help do something... or other, and that's why he doesn't hav them...


*thinks of how good ash's team COULD be... and cries*
Let's see, he let's Butterfree go off to mate, Bulbasaur helps out Prof. Oak, Squirtle joins his old team to become firefighters, Charizard is training in the mountains, and I think those are the only ones he has reason to leave, the rest he just dumps in Oak's lab.

The fact that barely pre-teen kids could happily run around the enitre country with fire breathing dragon things at their beck- and call.

And team rocket... why dont they just give up or simply gas ash to death with koffing the mobile concentration camp?

Lets see the games I don't have much of a problem with the games, they are pretty well thought out and actually have a lot more potential then they are currently being used for. Now the TV series I have a major problem with, and that problem can be summed into two words 'Team Rocket'. In ways they are criminal geniuses but seem to be obsessed with capturing a run of the mill electric rat, when if they just stopped following them and try their plan without being around the main characters aren't around. Either that or someone should put a damned bullet in their heads just to stop them from saying that damned introduction every time you see them.
Comic relief is you know, funny. They're just lame. It could be the English dubs though.

My biggest problem with the TV show is team rocket is the only plot device available. They present a problem, Ash fixes it and makes some friends along the way. After losing to him hundreds of times why haven't they given up?
Because if they did then we wouldn't have a show. They're more or less the comic relief.

Quite a few things probably, but I'll og with just one. In an episode of the TV series, we are presented with the following scenario: Team Rocket are in a cave, hiding from an angry Onyx that is battering at the entrance most likely trying to reduce them to a fine paste.

At this point, Ash, Brock and Misty wander along and observe the spectacle. They then notice the screams emenating from the cave and upon realising that it is Team Rocket that is in mortal peril, what is Ash's response?

"We've got to help them"!

Really Ash? You know, Team Rocket haven't really done you many favours lately. Think how much easier your life would be if you didn't have them constantly hounding you for Pikachu...

A few things with the games:
1) The "main quest" in the game is to complete the pokedex, getting the badges and beating the elite four is more of a "side quest", but when you beat the elite four everything happens(new areas open,some legendaries can be found, end credits, new item,...) but nothing exciting happens when you complete the pokedex.
b) This is more of a personal thing, but when I was 5 and was playing Yellow for the first time, I didn't notice the exit from the Viridian Forest. It blended in too well.
III) I feel bad for the NPC trainers who have to start in towns surrounded by high-level pokemon.

I like Pokemon, but the whole "cock-fighting-based scenario" has to give me pause.

And there's the fact that you can only carry six Pokemon at a time, and they can only learn 4 moves at a time as well, which is annoying, not to mention all the abilites and stuff you have to pretty much memorize...

Also, in G/S, the tower in Lavender Town where dead Pokemon were buried (how does that work, exactly? Don't they just faint?) was replaced with a //radio tower// of all things. Seriously.

The random things that the npc trainers said before fighting you.

For example, one may say something like "Did you know, it's a good thing to wear shorts in the summer." Yeah what does that got to do with anything, now shut up and fight me.

Speaking of the word fight. Another complaint I have is the how the good guys are a bunch of hypocrites. They would give a speech about how pokemon are our friends and should be treated with kindness, only to stuff them into balls and send them out to fight every now and then. How is that kindness?

Also on the saffron city level in pokemon blue, were you have to get rid of team rocket before you can fight the gym leader Sabrina. Makes me wonder why Sabrina didn't just take care of them herself, she uses physic pokemon, couldn't they have just teleported team rocket away, or mess with their heads and make them leave?

The pokédex described pokémon as being like animals from our universe, for example squirtle being turtle-like.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANIMALS FROM OUR UNIVERSE! HOW WOULD THEY KNOW THAT????

I watched the anime series when i was a kid, before playing the games. I remember the first time playing pokemon blue, I got to saffron city to fight sabrina, but I thought:

hey! ash needed a ghost-type pokemon to defeat sabrina, right? 'cuz psychic pokemn are weak against ghosts!, right?!

WRONG! i caught a haunter, leveled it up to lv30 and LOST with the first attack from her first pokemon!! (mr mime i think)

fuck you, ash!

I never thought about this until Michael Vick, but...


...what's the real justification of having creatures pummel each other for sport and glory? I probably didn't search hard enough, but I never found that in Pokemon.

Why does nobody freak out when you reveal your fifteen-foot-tall ultra-monster that evolved from a little lizard thing or whatever?
Carrying on from that, think about Wailord. It's a goddamn whale, about fifty times the protagonist's size. How does it manage not to destroy any enclosed space you might be battling in?!
And why don't Psychic types just telekinetically block Pokéballs?

How is it that Gastley doesn't doesn't have any mass? That doesn't make fucking sense! Good luck being a Physicist in that ass backward world.
Oh and Misingnom? It was actually the original Cuebone. Mine evolved into a fucking Kangaskhan!
ah this series pissed me off. I miss the digimon world games. All you had to do was sit back and cheer until your damn digimon evolved into a god....or a peice of poo.
