>so insecure about his masculinity he can't even use Bewear
have fun getting fucking raped by my AssVest set

>>29999424
Shiny locking legendaries and event legendaries. Makes the game feel incomplete and when they do give them out it makes it feel cheap and I feel no love for that pokemon.

>>29999463
Eh I don't mind regional bird, as long as they do more like Talonflame (As in typing other than normal/flying once they evolve. Not make it OP as shit)

But rodent and pikaclone really need to go. (Or I don't mind Pikaclones if they are like Marrill: not electric, can evolve, isn't utter shit)

Random encounters instead of getting to hunt the animals in real time with various methods, Pokemon Snap style except off-rails and genericized a little so the behaviors don't have to be unique for all Pokemon ever made.

>>29999424
Legends, mythicals, event mons, etc with no relevance or even any unique area for.

>>29999562
>Being this much of a beta

>>29999505
Would be cool if they went with a different trio of starter typing.

mono Water-types.

>>29999424
IVs

>>29999624
So.. Monster Hunter mixed with Spectrobes? I could get behind that.

pokemon that you can ONLY obtain through irl events.

>>29999851
Well you'd still engage them in a normal battle after you find them and ambush them

>>29999908
THIS. It's easy now that I'm an adult and live in the city, but those events just taunted me as a kid in butt-fuck nowhere.

Even now it's still annoying to go to a Gamestop whenever there's another events, even though I already have the event mon every time

>Event/distribution species
Those are a pain in the arse to get.

>MOAR LEGENDARIES!
Don't they realize they're diluting the value of legendaries that way and making them even more boring?

>Trainers with non-complete teams outside the first routes
A Joe on the first route having a single Rattata is fine. A pro trainer on the late game doing the same is not.

>Pikaclones
Plusle, Emolga, Togedemaru... yeah, we get Pikachu is cute, but enough.

>Uninventive regional bird and rodent
There's a reason even casuals like Talonflame: it fits the regional bird stereotype, but not completely. It's recognizable (familiar) without being predictable (boring).

>Trying hard to preserve IV mechanics
IVs were cool until we got breeding - i.e. only on Gen I. Beyond that, no band-aid mechanic will save them, either rework completely the feature or scrape it off.

>>29999424
making more type combos of already existing type combos

>>30000305
>you want this pokemon that is the only one with this moveset?
>Well FUCK YOU, it's only going to be distributed in goddamn Italy!

>>29999424
Taking my money.

>>30000246
>>29999624
Didn't ORAS do that?or do you mean more real time

>>29999445
This is the top offender. Right now they could introduce 50 new Pokémon and just combine all the best features and it'd automatically be the best game

>>29999484
Defensive rock types

>>29999424
Putting legendaries on the box art. Why can't we have starters on the box art anymore?

>>29999424
IV's

>>29999908
This, as well as events that are only available for certain countries.

>>30000336
At least it makes it easy to spot injectors.

Like sure your V-create Rayquaza is legit despite its name not being Japanese

>>29999424
compulsory legendaries
>LOOK SEE U CATCH THING ON BOX
>IS CATCH RATE 45, EASIER THAN MURKROW
>PLS STOP PLAYING PHONE GAMES
fucking STOP

>>30000504
I don't mind the basically free ones as much as "YOU HAVE TO CATCH THIS TO PROGRESS"

Like bitch this is my 12th Y playthrough I have plenty of Yveltals just let me kill it wihout it respawning

>>29999474
Kill yourself

>>29999424
Pokemon contest

oh they're out thank fucking god what a useless shit.

>>29999445
I'm still waiting for the sticker balls.

>>30000593
Maybe if contests were measured by shit like rarity, how far evolved it is, if it's shiny; and if it involved an actual battle section or something, they wouldn't be so shit

>It's a "Pokemon with huge healthpool and little else" episode

It doesn't happen often, but not many Pokemon like this are good.

>>29999424
>obligatory bad guys
I wonder what a pokemon game would look like without bad guys fucking shit up

>>30000705
I think gen 2 is the closest we have. Team Rocket's arc gets finished fairly quickly into the game. Granted it's definitely not the same as having no evil team

>>30000705
Boring as fuck
I don't like Pokemon plots much but simply having less conflict in them doesn't improve anything.

>>30000705
The criminal organizations are a staple I can't imagine disappearing. I don't really see what the problem with them is, though. They add conflict which keeps the story from feeling boring.

>>30000396
Because there are 3 starters and only 2 boxes

>>29999562
>this is actually how primarinafags think

>>30000754
Pokemon would be vastly improved if you cut the villain team and any main story beyond "get 8 badges" and fleshed out stuff like >>29999624

Would make the game more replayable and each playthrough unique.
