That and any game where you have to travel through routes before you have access to pokeballs because you could end up finding a shiny....

Not so much cringe-worthy as much as insanely tedious, but the entirity of DPPt until you get to Floarma Town is horrid. I love 4th gen but the replay value is almost non-existant because of that god awful beginning.

First two gyms routes are long as fuck, then every 5 steps you're in the next city.
That was bullshit.

Yea what's up with that, I liked the distance in the first few cities, but then it was just one minute walk between all other cities.

The water route next to Sea Spirit's Den

The camera angles in ORAS water routes will be the same shitty angle like the one in XY

The parade at the end of XY, especially 'cause I didn't give a shit about Turrm Flurr.

Also, the fact that, when you battle someone, they achieve spiritual enlightenment. For example, AZ's entire arc is just "walk around, get kidnapped, battle Calem, recieve waifu."

God, I hated that resolution to his story.
>wander around the world for 3000 years living with his guilt
>"eh, has he really learned his lesson"
>challenge this dude to a Pokémon battle and lose
>"hell yeah, time to reunite"
I mean, was it supposed to be something about accepting his loss this time around? Because losing a battle and losing a loved one are entirely different things, and that's on top of the likelihood of him either never losing a battle in those 3000 years or never accepting any of the losses.

Just... please, Z version. You can leave in a battle with Az, just have something deeper than a fucking Pokémon battle for him.

I think they were trying to make N II. Only problem is, AZ appears all of three times, with the first being a two second cameo, and the second being an exposition vehicle. You're supposed to feel happy for him when he gets his Pokemon back, but you really don't give a fuck since he's so underdeveloped.

Truth be told, I was kind of hoping a passing Talonflame would just eat Floette right out of the air.

For me, I'd say it's the uncertainty whether I should grind or should not grind. I'm playing Pokemon Platinum for the first time and I got a bit too careful about the first gym fight because I heard it's supposed to be tough as fuck. I ended up using the same Pokemon for all the fights (incl. the trainers at the start) because he one-shotted them all without getting a single scratch.

True. My little brother and I were both playing through concurrently and hyping more and more the longer it took to reach a second gym. We thought the pacing was going to be that amazing forever.

Damn shame they apparently blew their load for pacing by Korrina's gym.

Agreed. I was confused about where I was when I was surfing because you can't see fucking shit until you're right on top of it. That angle is disorienting on the open water.

I just hate the half-assed character development for important NPCs. Either have the champion be a complete stranger or someone I know better than two cameos about how you act because it helps you understand Pokemon.

Honestly, that rumor that the Prof was the champion would've been so much better than Diantha. Or that the Prof was actually the evil team boss and Lysandre was just his Dragon, for that matter.

This. I was playing nice a slow to take the game all in and it took me a day to get two badges, and a day to get the other 6, catch Xerneas, beat the Champion and do most of the post-game.

One of the reasons I liked this guy is because he was somewhat developed. Even though the plot fucked him over, he was still a fairly interesting character.

Hm, another thing. At the ball factory, the captured workers whine about how they won't get to "make friends with pokémon." Just imagine it...

They really fucked with me there, I saved after the second gym and the playtime said ~5-6 hours.
I was like shit 5 hours in and only 2 badges this is going to be great.
Especially after they showed the XY map and it seemed really small.
And then you get a badge like every hour.
But then again I managed to play it for 200 hours before getting bored, postgame wasnt outstanding but quite entertaining and of course the shiny chaining took its time.
