When you surfed, did you encounter about 60 Tentacools before getting back on land?

Oh god, just don't, the memories of surfing my way back down the entire of the water route in Hoen without any repels, it haunts me.

Also I love how when you just want to leave its every step you take but when you want to catch a Pokemon you have to run through 50 acres of grass just for one random encounter, the game hates me!

Heck yeah sometimes its not even two steps. I move one block over and there you go F'N TENTACOOL!! Luckily after horrible Zubat/Geodude/Tentacool run ins I always nothing less than 15 repels (any repel that I can get) on my virtual person.

I never really bought repels. There may have been a rare pokemon in the route!

I like how BW replace the annoying PKMN. Which are Machop, Geodude, Zubat and Tentacool. I was jumpin' for joy when I found out that they didnt have those PKMN listed above.

Machop, Geodude, Zubat and Tentacool
Machop isn't as annoying as Zubat, Geodude or Tentacool.

And yeah, I hate that in every step, a TENTACOOL! ;x. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to use Repels.

This developed some Tentacool hating problems for me.

Well, everytime I walk around a cave I see a Machop! Im just glad all the annoying ones were replaced

Let's go to the beach, each.
Tentacool were the most common Pokemon encountered at sea in Generation 3, so it isn't all that surprising that people encountered hundreds of them. I used Repels quite a bit in these games when I went Surfing, so the Tentacool didn't really bother me much. I did encounter a Shiny Tentacool once, though, so I guess they can't be all that bad :)

Tentacruel are worth battling... Tentacool are not...

But, God (more so Game Freak)gave us the blessing that is the Max Repel... let us rejoice....
