gave up on pokemon pearl
just isn't fun
I really hate how gamefreaks has
tried to expand the franchise, with way too many new stupid pokemon and items, and lots more stupid crap like beauty contests, online play was expected so it doesn't impress me at all.
personally, I'd take the franchise back to red/blue, pretend everything else never happened, and go from there.
no grid based movement, have other trainers 'join your party' battles arent turned based, or atleast not as slow as pokemon's battle...
another thing that I really hate is when you're in the rain, or the sunshine, every single turn in the battle it has to take 10 seconds to say "the sun is shining" or something of that nature, it seems so primitive...
battles in FFIII can be over in 10 seconds, and they look a lot better too, pokemon doesn't really have any nice sprites they want you to slow down and notice
any other franchise, and gamefreaks would be a complete joke, so frustrating...
