Name 'em, official games or otherwise
>>57232735SV's academy tutorial part..
every single time a crime team needs to be dealt with in any game ever. Silph sucks, the radio tower sucks, Seafloor Cavern really sucks, Mt Coronet is awful, i could go on.
>>57232735SM cutscenes
>>57232735Victory road in literally any generationI have never liked that arbitrary marathon cave system they insist on inserting as a precursor to the E4.
>>57232735I thought this meme was from a funny movie but no it's fucking Far Cry 6 ads
The theatre cutscene
>>57232735Absolutely pointless part to what is otherwise a pretty based game.
>>57232735BW2 everything after starting the game
>>57232735100% of every game after Gen 1
100% of Gen 1
>>57232735all of gen 7
>>57232735Hoenn after lilycove
>>57232735100% of all gens
>>57232735Pokemon Clover's stealth section
>>57232735seeing XY on the 3DS menu
>>57232735I like the dungeons in Gen 1 but I hate the fucking ice cave so much.
>>57232735The early game of everything gen IV onwards
anything below gen6
>>57232747But those are the best parts>>57232867Seafoam Islands is one of the best Gen I dungeons, they have interesting navigation and puzzles. I think that Mt. Moon and Rock Tunnel are kind of meh though.
>>57232901>annihilating Koffing #534 with yet another Psybeam>best part of the game
>>57232735Aegis Cave in Explorers of Sky.
>>57232735First Charizard fight in Ranger 1
>>57232750It's for pacing, you need both a final dungeon to test your skills and a break between the 8th gym and the E4
>>57232985>get to salamence>game endsI couldn't for the life of me understand how you were meant to capture it, and the fact you had to go through an entire minidungeon sequence every attempt ensured me giving the game away.
>>57232735I thought about doing another playthrough of SwSh for the hell of it but the thought of having to play without the bike upgrades at the start makes me shudder.
>>57232735>start up gen 7 game>spend 10 minutes mashing A through cutscenes>remember the entire game is "that part">power off 3ds without ever having gotten into a single battle
>>57232735BW's munna & overall rival bullshit
Gen 1 would be Silph Co.Gen 4 all the swampy/rainy routes around the 3rd/4th gymGen 5 the early game up to the desert is unbearable
>>57232735The two ride Pokemon routes, the desert, and the swamp route in Kalos, they're all annoying gimmicks that just slow you down.
>>57232735Johto Rocket Hideout
>>57232735The rival battles in BW1.Like holy shit do I really have to fight Bianca before every gym and then Cheren after every gym.Every single time.Probably the most annoying thing about those games that keep me from replaying.
>>57232735Gen 5, and it's whenever the NPCs start yapping and control is yanked away fro me, such as the cutscene in the second town in BW.
>>57232802This. I've had many playthroughs where I just end at Lilycove and don't want to continue
first hour of B2/W2 when Alder is standing on the cliff into town, then standing at the edge of town, then back on the cliff again. All with dialogue that isnt needed or could have been said all together.
Gen 5, when the JRPG has a story.
>>57232735 >Kanto after Silph Co.>Johto after Ecruteak>Hoenn after Lilycove>Sinnoh after Hearthome> Unova after Castelia> Kalos after Shalour> Alola after Route 1> Galar
>>57232735Mt. Moon in pokemon fireredStupid fucking raticate, stupid fucking bats, stupid fucking layout. Rock Tunnel is a close second, neither location has items worth any value whatsoever.
>>57234403johto after ecruteak actually fucking sucks
>>57234403Alola after the title screen*
>>57232735The Cerulean City rival fight in Touhou Puppet Play EnhancedHer entire team is overleveled, has certain moves early, and she leads with a Speed Boost mon that can flinchhax and sweep your team very quickly
>>57232735SunWhen you first meet Lillie
>>57232735HMs.
>>57234387I legit had no idea who Alder was until the end of the game because I skipped everything he'd say before then
>>57232782>>57232785Who do I believe?
>>57232747The Team Galactic shit is the main reason I never want to replay Sinnoh. As if Galactic HQ wasn't enough, they make you haul an HM whore all the way up Mt. Coronet, littered with jobbers mind you, and then you have to complete some fuck ass puzzle in the distortion world (most overrated local in the entire series). And then they force you to battle Giratina which is just tedious and annoying. Like let me play the fucking game.
>managing to have fun in kalos>the friends and/or team flare appear again>the fun completely vanishes until they're gone again
>>57234328the fights aren't even that interestingjust shitmons that stopped being threatening several badges ago
>>57232735Tauros puzzle and crustle puzzle in Reborn
>>57232735>OfficialI don't really dislike any parts of the mainline games or any of the spinoffs, but if I had to think of a spot where I was thinking "wish this ended a little quicker", it's gotta be tiles that had silly reactions. Forced movement, teleporters, ice, and so on. So, basically any gym where simply walking is a chore. Just let me walk from point A to point B. This isn't an RPG with dungeons and skeletons and whatnot. Just let me go to each trainer, prove my superiority, dominate the gym leader, and move on.Unofficial games though? Infinite Fusion post-E4. Johto and all the random bullshit after Kanto just isn't enjoyable and it's a slog. It's like an entire halfassed sequel stapled on as postgame.
>>57232735Pokestar Studios or whatever it’s called. The snowy area in gen 4.
>>57235406can someone check if the nopuzzles password disables that shit
>>57232782I think the tutorial is completely unnecessary. I'd be fine with taking you up there just to show you it's there. But forcing me to make a movie?
>>57232949The navigation is the fun part, most of the time it's accompanied with some sort of ascending. That's probably why I find Hoenn's story climax to be so underwhelming.
>>57232735Playing PLA only to remember that I got to catch all of them to get to Arceus, including trying to catch those damn genies.
>>57232785I strongly disagree. But if I had to pick a bad part, it'd be the mandatory Pokéstar Studios tutorial
>>57235448It doesn't help that Seafloor Cavern has a ton of doors that warp you to the start for no reason.
>>57232892Any particular reason why?
>>57235421>This isn't an RPG with dungeonsIt was though. Early gens had a significant dungeon crawling aspect. Actually one of the things I miss most from modern Pokemon, the games feel lacking without dungeons.
>>57232957Hard agree. To make it less of a slog, I straight up use Wondermail generators to generate quests that give me the stones.
>>57235426Oh, and the entirety of Gen 7. I know that’s a common complaint but replaying Gen 7 is fucking impossible. I remember thinking years ago that BW1/2 were a bit of a slog to get through but Gen 7 blows it out of the water several times over.
>>57232957Thankfully there's hacks out there that delete the unown stone requirements
>>57235484hard agree. BW2 is only really a slog in the very beginning, when I replayed recently I was actually surprised at how smoothly the middle-late game flowed. Gen 7 is just a slog front to back though.
>>57232735Any section where you need flashinb4>hurr durr git gud>hurr durr just get the flash hm>I memorized the map why didn’t you>I played the whole game with my eyes closed
>>57232735When I have to put half of my team into the box to make room for HM slaves.
>>57232735Mt. Moon.Every time I try to play Pokemon Yellow, I stop shortly after Cerulean, because Mt. Moon drains my motivation.
>>57232735I got a physical copy of PLA for my Switch and the tutorial is such a slog.
>>57232735huh
>>57236682Laziest self bump ever
>>57232802>>57234382I love RSE but I find a disproportionate amount of used games that stop at Lilycove. What is it? The museum?
>>57236825cause past lilycove you just have bad guy gauntlets and water routes. personally I don't find it so bad, but I get it. at that point the best of Hoenn is behind you.
>>57235508And if you can't download the patches, there's always Wondermail generators
>>57232782You hate it? I think it's a pretty fun sidequest. It's like a fun puzzle battle that you just can't unga bunga through. I remember going off-script in one of the movies and accidentally confessing to villainess Sabrina. Fun stuff.
>>57236880The issue is that you have to do one in order to progress past it though
>>57237035I don't remember it being that long though. Gen 5's engine is fast so even if you hate a part of the game you can just change the text speed to fast and mash A through your hated parts faster than the speed of light.
>>57237046Last time I hit new game on BW2 was on release day so take this with a grain of salt, but I remember being there for like 30 minutes before being allowed to leave
>>57235399They aren't that's part of the issue.Rival fights should be a challenge only 3-4 times through the game.They are boring as fuck and interrupt way too frequently.
>>57232735there genuinely aren't any for me
>>57236840I mixed them up, Slateport is where I find a bunch of safe files in used games.
>>57237079ah ok, not sure then. I do vaguely remember getting stuck in Slateport briefly as a kid, I think a combination of not being sure where to go with the blueprints and Brawly being kind of tough, so maybe impatient/younger gamers just stall out around there. also what's your sample size lol, how many used copies of RSE have you played?
GSC/HGSS after the introDPPt after the introBW after the introBW2 after the intro
>>57232735First half of USUM
>>57232740The snowstorm routes before Snowpoint city in Platinum
>>57232867You can just skip the ice cave you know
>>57232735BW; either post-Striaton City or post-Driftveil City. Nacrene is the second-slowest grinding area in the game and Chargestone Cave is one of the most boring areas in all of Pokémon.
>>57237079Did they get filtered by May/Brendan?
>>57237690ooh that's a good point, that fight kicked my ass as a kid
>>57233033Salamance was easy for me on my current playtroughBut charizard im stuck on
>>57236880Its too long for a pointless feature that will never be used. Like >>57235447said it should be much shorter than it is or at least give you the option to leave without doing a movie first.
>>57237690I'd say it's because the entire part with the aqua/magma bases is confusing as shit.
>>57234419There is no Raticate in FireRed's Mt. Moon. That trainer was nerfed in the remakes.

>>57234744hate to break it to you anon but that is the game
