POKEMONSTROUSLY FRUSTRATING

by Westby on Wed Jan 07, 2026 4:06 am

goddamnit.
I put 60 fucking hours into this game, planned and replanned my team, kicked everybody's ass along the way, and really thought I was going to beat it.
Then I get to the elite four, and I can't even get past the second guy. GOD DAMN IT.
Either I have to grind the shit out of my team, or completely rework it, but either way I'm in for a solid ten hours of grinding.
And fuck that.

I really thought I was going to beat it...


On a side note, this game is p. sweet.

if you have pearl you could easily beat the second dude and half of the third dude's pokemon with just palkia? or just get your strongest water type and teach it your strongest water tm and see how that goes

I was so unsatisfied when I beat Pokemon Blue in 5th grade I never bothered to pick up another one.

probably because you didn't try to "catch them all"

What a bullshit marketing strategy. "Ya gotta catch em all! But you can't without buying a system link and having a friend who has the other Pokemon game!"

You assume, of course, that the average Pokemon fan has friends.

Did anyone else have issues actually finding their way around in this game, or am I crazy? I had to check the walkthrough a bunch of times because I had no idea where to go or I was given unclear instructions.

You know, Gold/Silver was the last time I think I actually REALLY enjoyed a Pokemon game. Probably equal parts that I was at the right stage of life, and that Gold/Silver made so many great improvements over Red/Blue (along with the fact that you got to go back to the Red/Blue world). I bought both sapphire and pearl because apparently I'm a stupid smelly nerdalinger, but neither of them really felt quite right (though Pearl was a lot better than Sapphire). No doubt I'm going to want to pick this one up for nostalgia's sake. I'm probably going to feel empty after finishing it just because it will still not be quite the same, but I am okay with this.

I was considering getting the games for me and my wife, but our DS were stolen this week.
