This is my first post here, so please forgive me for the slightly bonkerness.

I want to know, personally, what fustrats you in Pokemon games. This is prompted from my reading of the current comic, and wondering "what little things are niggling others about this game?" Well, here's what grinds my gears...

Slowly, very slowly, Pokemon is becoming more exclusive. I don't mean the game's harder to get hold of, I mean that there's pokemon that are harder to catch due to something silly. The original was Mew, which you had to trade from Pokemon HQ in Japan for Red and Blue.

Now, as time's gone by, they've started writing these 'unique' pokemon INTO the game, in the form of pokemon like Victini, for whom you need the Libity Pass, which you can download for only one month, and Zorua, for which you need Celbi from the LAST game, for whom you need about 10 other things...

And that leads me the main frustration; Catching Victini itself! I got the pass, went over to the light-house to catch it, and wasted about 50 odd balls trying to catch the little begger! I threw everything at it, and it just KEPT breaking out.

To make it worse, on my 5th attempt today, I strode up to the little bugger, hit it with two attacks, and caught it in a quick ball.

Much blistering of brow followed.

So, what irrritates you? Post here.

What irritates me is there is a Pokemon thread to vent in and you started a new thread.

Exactly. He might think the "Cockfighting society" thread is actually about cockfighting. How would he know any better?

"The Big Cockfighting Society Thread of Horror"

Not at all misleading.


Lol.

To be honest, I thought it was about either fighting, or just plane bickering. Also, my internet cuts out regularly, so I can't use the forum search function properly...

Today I learned "Cockfighting' is Pokemon.
