Pokemon Disappointments?

[ZoruaBoo]

My disappointments with Pokemon? The fact that it's not actually real is a huge disappointment to me. Haha~

But seriously, I was disappointed with the 3D imaging in X/Y. For me, I couldn't use it since my console couldn't handle the strain, the frame rate would be awful and laggy. Which completely makes the 3Ds redundant since I can't actually use the 3Dness, could have had the same game on a DSi without the 3D and it would have saved me a lot of money.

There is a good reason for that. Pokémon existing in the real world would be a huge chaos.

Criminals could use them to destroy mayor cities. Would you want that? I sure as heck wouldn't.

 

[Peridomic]

my only disappointment is that we still don't have the same technology like Sword Art Online so we can go into the game

((Eeyup)) But think of all the medicinal benefits~ There are Pokemon which can cure/restore health to others... no more Cancer and no more death through disease. Also, anyone can destroy a major city with the current weapons available now. Introducing Pokemon to the world would make it no more likely for people to do it... in fact, having other powerful Pokemon might actually dissuade someone from destroying a city/object as they know that there would be equally powerful Pokemon that could easily stop them.

ZoruaBoo, I don't think anyone actually turns the 3D on... (did I sound rude? ;-; )

Care to elaborate? One could argue that mega-evolutions are the BEST things that could have happened in the Pokemon franchise.

I love Mega Evolutions! They breathed life back into Charizard again and made him into a Dragon!

Personally, my dissapointment for Pokemon is the missed pokemon that could have been Fairy type (I'm looking at you Ponyta/Rapidash/Misdreavus/Mismagius/Azelf/uxie/Mespirit).

Gen 1 being in every darn generation of the games in some form from Gens I-IV: I've been with the Series since the very beginning anime and game wise, but really? Other regions besides Kanto need the limelight too, guys.

The English dub of the Pokemon Anime: my god, defunct 4Kids of all companies was better at it than TAJ (also defunct) was and DuArt currently is (in fact, even TAJ was better than DuArt is at this point). In the current dub, I can't stand how awful the main characters from the original episodes sound now, the script writing is atrocious beyond compare, and the music is terrible most of the time with no passion or creativity to anything that's being done with it in XY. I really thought it would get better after the company switch, but no, it's actually getting worse and is extremely hard to sit through nowadays- I would actually WANT a recast of the crew if it happens again.

I think it's the Goomy evolution line. I mean, seriously? Why does a cool region like Kalos get the lamest looking Pseudo of all? I never thought I'd think a pseudo-legendry would ever look lame, but Goodra managed it, somehow.

When it comes to the anime, it's the English dub, the BW saga and the TRio. The TRio especially, since there's no way to avoid them unlike my other problems, which can easily be solved by watching subbed episodes and ignoring BW completely. Well, except for Charizard's return and the first three openings (Best Wishes and both versions of Be an Arrow).

My point exactly... what is the point of having it in the game if no one uses it?! After they created so much hype about it... it was a huge disappointment.

Now Pokémon might look cute or awesome in the games, but if they existed in real life they'd look extremely creepy.

That's another reason why it wouldn't work in real life.

Yeah. The last time I watched the dub was during late DP and early BW, so I thought that when I saw the XY dub, I was just getting too old to like the series anymore. Most of the time Ash talks like he's from an infants TV show, who's been at his job for too long.

One other thing which bugs me, is how they keep on dimming the screen whenever Pikachu uses an electric move. We're not in 1999 anymore! We shouldn't technically ever need to have the screen be darkened! Pokémon learnt their lesson in what? Episode 37? Stop dimming the screen! If you're that concerned about epilepsy which won't ever happen, just put up a warning like they do in Japan.

How would they look creepy? Anything new and unseen before will look weird at first, like meeting an alien race or a person who's never seen an elephant and then happens to stumble across one. But the more you see something, the more normal and natural it becomes. Sure, they won't look like they do in the games, but I don't think they'd be creepy.

Don't blame him/her, blame all of the unrealistically spooky "realistic" Pokémon pictures on the internet.

Very true~~ And as you said, I highly doubt that is what Pokemon would actually look like IRL, those are just art pieces created with the intention to be creepy~ ^0^ ((Some of those pictures are actually quite cute))

Alright, I am willing to admit it you proved everything I said wrong.

But I got something to say to you, people here would probably think of me as crazy, and I'm used to that.

I interact with my Floatzel, Delphox and Raichu a lot. And they talk to me back. I guess I have a powerful imagination.

And it does feel real to me.

Go ahead call me crazy, I don't care.

He sounds like a woman who has been smoking cigarettes, too: it's just...ick...I mean, this is a 10 year old boy we're talking about here so...the voice doesn't fit the character: I miss Veronica Taylor voicing Ash- been 8 years with Sarah Natochenny now, and I'm still not satisfied with her voicing Ash at all- it's ridiculous. -_-

IKR? I mean, the Electric Soldier Porygon episode hasn't even aired in the States and never will, so what's the point in general of doing that?

Call me dumb but I don't notice the difference between how Ash sounded back in season 1 and how he sounds now.

I can see a big difference, personally, but then the first actress didn't get her voice down until around the 25th episode or so of Kanto (in her first episodes, the voice was deeper): I feel like the previous actress had a very smooth, soft voice that wasn't so...smokey, rough, and...bland in tone. The first actress also seemed to put a lot more energy into his voice: the current one just seems so bored all the time with the role.

It was only relevant for episodes before the Porygon ep, because there were some bright scenes and they were fixed for re-airings. Now though, there's absolutely zero point in it!

It's also because they release the episodes like two months after the Japanese airing, so if a line is read badly, they don't have much time to fix it.

That is also a problem with American animation.

Many episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy seem rushed to me.
