Forums - Nintendo - My Top 10 reasons I hate the new Pokemon.

The only thing I agree with is the lack of post game in X&Y... seriously there is nothing to do after you beat the game, the Elite Four don't even get stronger Pokemon after you beat them the first time!!!!

Other than that your complaints have either been long existing problems or due to cheating which has nothing to do with Nintendo and Gamefreak.

There is a 2-3 hours long sidequest in the main city after the game. But the post game is bulding a team for online play and the Battle Mansion.

If applied, what you want would just kill a serie who is loved by millions of gamers at each sequel.

That's why people like you don't make important decisions. When you have such a big franchise, you want to keep the base and improve it, not make it a totally different game and lose all the userbase.

Stagnation and appeasement is the poison of creativity and the death of art.

Besides, you can't say that for sure. Historically, a huge portion enterprises succeeded only because they dared to try what was mostly unasked for.

Did anyone asked for Mario in the 80's? For Pokémon in the 90's? Just imagine if Nintendo had opted to continue releasing Donkey Kong arcades instead of listening to the completely unasked work of Miyamoto or Tajiri...


Pokemon isn't stagnating, it is evolving and deepening in a great way.

Changing for the sake of changing and against the will of your fanbase is recipe for failure and disaster. You remind me Microsoft that tried to force people to like Modern UI in Windows 8 and ended up with their biggest failure since Vista and a damaged brand.

For about the past 5 or 6 years or so, Pokemon has hit rock bottom. Their last masterpeice was Heartgold and Soul Silver, after that, I am displeased with pokemon now. Gens 1-4 were fantastic, but what te hell happened?

I agree that their last masterpeice was HGSS, and that it's gone down in quality from there. Don't think it's hit "rock bottom" though. Still a good franchise.

This is just my opinion, so please correct me if you feel to do so.

10.) Rivals: Back in the day, it was great to have a rival to go head to head, and it felt great after beating them, but now it seems like just friendly battles that just are unmotivated and just there to be there. This is more of a minor complaint, but I'll continue

Well Barry was friendly, but I get what you're saying. Honestly, I never really cared about any rivals other than Blue, Silver, and Barry. I woundn't be disappointed if they just got rid of rivals altogether. It's unessesary now.

9.) Easy: This is self explanatory, it just got too easy.

They're all easy.

8.) Fairy type: This was just uneccessary, it was just awful. Terrible idea, Game Freak, Terrible idea.

Adding a type is never unessesary. My only issue with the fairy type is that it's not weak to normal, because that's the only type that truely needs a buff.

7.) Spoon-feeding everything: THis is especially in X/Y where everything freaking everywhere is just handed to you like a toddler. It made it that I didn't get toenjoy getting stuff, MYSELF.

Every Pokemon game spoon feeds. The entire gym system and Pokemon League is spoonfeeding newbies to the type chart. That's a problem for the entire franchise and it should be completely optional. The Pokemon League should be a giant side quest and the main campaign should have nothing ot do with it. It restricts the way the story can progress.

6. Air battles: This just annoys me because it has HARDLY ANY USE. What was the point in the first place?

If there were more airbattles, people who don't like or want airbattles would be annoyed. All air battles are are a little reward for players with pokemon that can fly. nothing wrong with that.

5. Wonder Trade: Have fun getting pokemon yourself? Well, now you can just get all the shiny action replay hacked pokemon you want if you get lucky.  Great idea, Nintendo....

I have no problem with hacked Pokemon, and I'm pretty sure Action Replay isn't a thing anymore. The fact that hacked Pokemon is still an issue highlights a problem in the was good or rare Pokemon are obtained. That's Gamefreak's fault. How many other games, not on PC, still have a problem with people hacking. Just Pokemon. 

4. Rushed: X/Y was only made in a couple years, which is why there is nothing to do after you beat it. Sad but true.

Every Pokemon game is made in a short amount of time. X/Y are no different. There's nothing to do because it wasn't designed that way. Not because they ran out of time.

3. Action Replay: What happened to being fair, now it is just a few button taps away from having every legendary ever. WOW....

That's been an issue in every Pokemon game since the original. It's not bigger now. When Gamefreak fixes their game design, people will stop hacking.

2. Fanbase: NO MATTER WHAT the Pokemon company decides to do, fanboys will defend and praise its name, just eagerly loving whatever is thrown at them. Not everybody is like this, but sometimes people are just pathetic in the fanbase, which annoys me.

It annoys me to, because I agree that X/Y are the worst Pokemon games so far, but not because of 90% of what you've said. 

1: Mega Evolution: All I can say is these are STEROIDS FOR YOUR POKEMON.... that is all I can say....

So? They're a new Pokemon form. Who cares. They don't break the game and they're fun. That's all that matters.


Comments in BOLD.
