Pokemon pet peeves

[Thyme]

In Pokémon Stadium, there was this one trainer that used a Tangela or a Dratini, I can't remember which one. This would be the match, in a nutshell:

BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND BIND I lose.

[Sam]

since when

it NEVER works for me.

[Tomboh]

it NEVER works for me.

make sure your leading pokemon is of a level higher than that of the wild pokes

That Smeargle and Stantler don't have any evolutions/preevolutions

[Samus Aran]

That Smeargle and Stantler don't have any evolutions/preevolutions

I'm glad they don't, honestly, and I wish they would quit adding more stages to older Pokemon. Magnezone? What the fuck is that shit? Mime Jr.? Happiny?

[[hedy]Zidone]

fucking zubat

[Samus Aran]

tentacool is worse

Yeah I remember how broken bind used to be. Thank christ they changed it.

this

although I love stantler, when i use pokemon that don't evolve it makes me think that I'm not making any progress with them.

When I used my Groudon's last Fissure on Steven's (R/S champion) Aggron, and he had Sturdy.

7.) Hi Jump Kick. Why does this move always seem more powerful than it's supposed to be when I'm not the one using it?

Holy shit I thought I was the only person that thought that.

Umbreon's meant to stall piss me off.

[o]Friendship evolutions
[o]Elite Four trainers who use Full Restore every other turn. I've sometimes got stuck in cycles where I use 2-3 attacks, their HP is extremely low, E4 person uses full restore, and repeat
[o]The extremely long process of trading Pokemon. Pokemon box solved it, but only for the third gen. Pokemon Ranch specifically removes that function.
[o]Egg hatching. In the 3rd and 4th gens, I've spent tons of gameplay running back and forth to hatch things.
[o]Time-based events. A couple things, like umbreon and espeon evolution split or time-based wilds, are fine. But D/P having every single fucking part of the game be time-based really gets annoying. If I want berries, I have to plant a berry then come back in a few hours, and if I'm too late my berry was wasted. If I want to transfer 3rd gen pokes, I have to do only 6 a day. If I want to buy from half the merchants, I have to come back daily for different items. If I want to catch Safari Zone pokes in D/P, I have to come back every day for a new set.
[o]Unobtainable pokemon, or Pokemon only obtainable in ridiculous cases, in events, or in spinoff games. Ho-oh's requirements were ridiculous in Colosseum. Manaphy requiring Ranger sucks, especially since I hate Ranger. Jirachi requiring Colosseum's bonus disk would annoy me if I wasn't one of few who actually owns that disk. I want to have Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Darkrai, Sheimi, and Arceus without driving some good distance to go to events. If Nintendo hadn't put unobtainable Pokemon in the games, Action Replay probably would have had significantly lower popularity.
[o]Ridiculous commonness of Zubat, Tentacool, and the like. Nobody who has ever played a Pokemon game can say they've never used Run a ton of times on either of those Pokemon.
[o]The three-version system. I'm sorta fine with the third one, since it often makes significant improvements (Yellow with Pikachu and other tie-ins with anime, Crystal with full color support and ability to play as a female, etc) but the first two versions do not need to be split. Luckily all the console games which sell for $50 only come as one sole game. If possible I still think the 3rd versions should just be like a patch to the first game in the trio.

Breeding for IV's and training for EV's. SUCH a pain in the ass.
