Welcome to Gaia! ::

They need to run faster!!!!!!!!!

Oh I am not saying I do not like it, because I have one of my own that I love. However I just do not like the fact that it doesn't have levitate. There isn't a point to Magnet Rise either since I never use it and I could put something better there...

i hate the forgetting of johto. in the thrid gen NO ONE MENTIONED IT. i also dislike the sudden vanishing of the new team after you beat them. least the Archie and Maxie stayed around to say oops we screwed up.

i dislike all the " creature pokemon" i under stand arceus and kyogre and groundon but dialga and palkia?????????

and unbreedable legendaries scream scream scream scream scream

Your antics confuse me greatly.

Bronzor/Bronzong. 99.99% of them in game have Levitate, meaning they're only weak to fire moves, and there are so few fire pokemon early in the game. (Chimchar's evolution line and Ponyta/Rapidash. That's it.) And both of their defenses are so hiiiigh... Not to mention that every beeping boss later on seems to have one...

Oh, and male Combees. They're pretty much useless - they only ever learn two weak moves, ever, and these moves aren't even good for any contests or anything. (And please note that, to date, the only shiny I've run into in Diamond is a male Combee. It's a red bee, but all it does is look pretty, and I want to be able to show it off!) I really hope someday we get a male Combee evolution that's, like, a drone or something, and that when that happens, pokemon from Diamond and Pearl can be transferred to that game...

This topic has now transformed into the "Things that annoy you/Suggestions to make the series better" topic.

On a ride to school, I was discussing with Kumo about how the Pokemon games need to offer more characterization of the trainer themselves. A custom trainer option would be fantastic, as I assume some of us are starting to get a little iffy with the newer designs.

But what I'm really getting at, that I think would be fantastic would be the aspect of trainer status and condition. Make the trainer get tired, sick, hungry, anything. It's not as immersing if we feel like we're controlling a ten year old robot. Make prolonged exposure to the sun impair his vision and have them unable to see the remaining health of his or his opponent's Pokemon, or have their Pokemon's remaining PP become blurry. Make his hunger somehow negatively affect his performance, like losing turns. Same thing with Pokemon, make them need to eat food or their health and move power diminish. Also, let the trainers have health, and let them pass out if the player is too stupid to let anything happen to them. Have some sort of negative connotations for that too. Wild Pokemon attacking the trainer randomly would be exciting too, allowing you to need to react quickly or take damage.

Just saying, a little more realism would be nice. Make a journey to set out at the age of 10, with magic creatures and real world dangers actually seem like a life altering adventure, not a bike ride in central park.

Don't tell me 'zomg kids cant play gaems that haev diphikulty'. Our generation, the older high school/college kids were the first audience, and we still make up a huge portion of those who play the game.

I disagree Mike, all those extra conditions would just make me angry that I have to spend time thinking about my dumb trainer. Maybe if it was just the pokemon I'd be okay with it but I think that would take away from the battling experience.

On a side note, a semi-fighting game style would be cool. You actually battle the enemy pokemon and have your four move choices instead of just clicking a button. Of course that would be hard to program with 480 pokemon each having basically different moves but it would be kinda cool if it could happen. (Actually this could make implementing your ideas about being hungry, tired, etc. more plausible: You move slower, attack slower, etc when under those conditions).
