    First topic message reminder :

    here anyone (besides guests Razz ) can rant about anything. pretty straight forward huh?

    the whole GTS trading system is extremely difficult to actually use -_- i mean more than half the time, when your searching for a poke you want, every offerer wants like a lvl 90 darkrai or some other legend. literally... almost every offer requires you to have an uber on hand, which alot of ppl dont, and even if theg did, wouldnt trade it for (lets say the kecleon) theyre looking for >_> its especially annoying for NU/UU users such as yours truely, since i dont even bother catching ubers.
    aaaand thats my rant Razz

    who besides me is tired of people talking about micheal jackson let that kat die i understand the reasoning behind respecting the dead but in my opinon why respect someone thats dead if you disrespected him when he was alive everyone knows damn well if he was still alive they would still be talking about his nose skin color or him molesting kids stop talking about the child molester LET HIM DIE



    hows that for a rant? Cool

    Really? Don't have that going on over here. Due to student council elections and blahblahblah... there was this one guy running... His campaign song... Baby... by Bieber... He made a video of him singing that to a toilet. Amazingly, he won and became vice-president.

    Raaant. 3 hour sleep every single flipping day. Can't wait for finals. Not really.

    The GTS is a joke.

    all I want is a straightforward way to get some pokemon that I need to breed or complete my pokedex. But no, you cant even CHOOSE pokemon that you havent seen yet. in addition you dont get to specify an ability, which means you end up getting crap like Illuminate chinchou when you wanted Volt absorb. What that means is the only way to get pokemon like that is to go into GTS negotiations, which is the biggest load of garbage in the whole game IMO. what happens is you go onto Wi-Fi, then wait 10 minutes. after that 10 minutes, you meet a gigantic noob monster usually from Japan that offers you (hacked) shiny ubers, which are absolute garbage to me. When you dont accept a trade within 3 pokemon that he shows, he DCs, and you get 15 minutes of your life wasted. the smilies are absolutely useless. Why cant there be one for "Go back!" or "gtfo, noob", or even something USEFUL like "I need this Pokemon". But no, all you get is a smilie face, frown face and a freakin heart. with all the ingenuity of gen 5 that nintendo claims that it has, they couldnt put more then 4 smilies in their trading system that they themselves use money and resources to support? gimme a break.

    the biggest thing that p***es me off is the nickname restrictions. the nintendo people were so concerned with people sending pokemon with bad nicknames (OOOOOOOOOOH THE HORROR. ITS ALMOST AS BAD AS THOSE HACKED SHINY UBERS), that they cut off some LEGIT pokemon like cofagrigus, who you have to nickname to trade! But if you got that cofagrigus from a friend somewhere else, youre screwed because you cant change its nickname! thanks a lot, GTS!

    and do you wanna know why noobs will always be around in pokemon? Because nintendo had to put things in their game like "Wow, you REALLY are a strong and unbelievable trainer!", when they got beaten by the player's freakin blastoise who knew Water gun or hydro cannon. And they make beating the E4 look like you deserve a medal. I have beaten the E4 with NFEs that were around lv. 40, and all of a sudden the "champion" who used Lv 100 groudons and kyogres is the best trainer in the game? please. I actually looked through a supposed "strategy guide" (prima's official BW one, volume 1), and it actually suggested you teach Double team to panpour before evolving it, and teaching Simisage rock tomb before you evolve it. now I have no problem with the players who just wanna play the game and not get into competitive battling, but don't tell them that they're the best battlers in the world for it. the best battlers in the world, IMO, are competitive, and if you ask me, know more about damage calculations and battling mechanics than prof. oak would ever know. A Pokemon game that was made to be competitive would probably be the most awesome thing since Super mario brothers since it will please all the pokemon fans, IMO. I mean really, a gym leader who is using shock wave on her zebstrika?....... For goodness sake, Skyla's unfezant knows RAZOR WIND, one of the worst attacks you can have if youre a competitive battler....using your own gym TM could kinda be useful, you think?

    Lol wow u mad? I never would of thought that someone would make that long of a rant hahah. Yeah I agree with everything you said about the GTS. They do need to add more things that let you be more specific with trading. I just want to add one thing though, what you said about the gym leaders, you just can't bring competitive battling into the in-game story mode. Who cares if the Unfezant knew Razor Wind? That just makes it easier for you to kill it while it sets up. And also you fight the electric leader pretty early in the game, do you really want her to already be shooting something like Thunder or Volt Tackle everywhere? I sure wouldn't. Just saying whistling

    You know what really grinds my gears..disconnectors on Random Match up. I hate it when they fucking disconnect it pisses me off. I swear almost every single person you battle always disconnects. I battled this one guy who almost beat me. We both had one poke left, mine was Hydreigon and his was Milotic. I dark pulsed Milotic and it looked about a 3 hit ko. He ice beams and nearly kills Hydreigon, surving with 69 hp. I dark pulse again and I get the flinch and next turn I kill the Milotic but the bastard disconnects cursing I don't know why they can't take a loss but Nintendo should do something about all this disconnecting. Maybe like record all the times people disconnect or something. They gotta do something though. My record right know is 7 wins and 4 losses. It would have been 21 wins and 4 losses but Mad disconnectors.

    O.O i was just about to make a rant about this... wierd.

    and...


    IKR!!! whats the point of even playing if your only gonna play through completely when you win? they should make it so when you DC, it counts as a loss for you, and the person you dc'd on gets their win. thatd solve everything, and i bet they could do it too.
