Things about the Pokemon Games you hated

[Tristan]

Probably mentioned before but I don't feel like reading 18 pages of discussion. Of all the little complaints that can be said about the Pokemon games, my only true complaint is trading for a Pokemon to evolve. Dumbest thing ever. Literally means you can't catch them all if you don't find someone to trade to and then trade back. I mean who even does that any more? It's ridiculous, I can't even get a Gengar.

I LOVE having my pokemon out in SS--it's epic. Also, I love the extra story you sorta get.

As far as it goes though, the thing I least like is linearity--I like choice in what I do.
I also dislike having to teach Flash in a lot of cases, because it usually means I have to carry around a useless pokemon for a while. WHY CAN'T MY AMPHAROS JUST LIGHT UP ITS TAIL?? Heck, it's the lighthouse/beacon pokemon, for crying out loud! It shouldn't need an extra move to do what it naturally does.
Trading to get pokemon is also an issue with few people I know having the same generation games and an iffy Wi-Fi connection.

I hate how u gotta find so many items just to make a pokemon evolve. I mean can't we just train them until they evolve and not have to search for some item

Someone probably already said this, but I'm not reading 19 pages for a quick reply

I hate when you battle a trainer with excessive amounts of the same Pokemon. I don't need to battle 6 Metapods to know I've won. Same thing with Magikarps, but not just useless Pokemon. When you fight Team Rocket in SGC/HG/SS, one of the executives has 6 Koffings, which all of the grunts had as well. It got old fast.

I hate how they haven't made it so a pokemon can evolve during battle yet
