Ugh. Haven't had very much fun battling other players. The battling in the main game is super fucking easy and doesn't teach you SHIT about advanced techniques or break down the weaknesses (aside from one gym at a time, from one NPC, telling you either the weaknesses or strengths of a single type, not both. I could totally go to a wiki but what kind of fucking game doesn't teach you the basics? What the fuck is Fairy weak against? I destroyed the Fairy gym and still have no fucking clue!) and none of the trainers, including gym leaders, seem to have more than 3 Pokemon! Except this one Fisherman, I got all excited when I saw 6 Pokeballs, like "Maybe I'll get a semidecent battle now!" and it was the dude in every game with 6 goddamn Magikarp.
The difficult is like... nonexistent compared to Black 2, which I got right before this. Black 2 was actually pretty goddamn tricky in spots and some of the gym leaders had gimmicks that totally wrecked me at first (Volt Switch... ouch!) and I became a better battler because of it. This game coddles me like I've got an IQ of a jar of mayonnaise and doesn't seem to want to throw even the slightest hint of a challenge my way.
...and then someone randomly challenges me to a battle and I have no fucking clue what to do. And by that I don't mean "Durrr do I hit it??" I mean I have no point of reference for a lot of these Pokemon. I played Red & Blue like mad, then didn't play another Pokemon game until Diamond & Pearl and I've kept relatively up-to-date since then but there are still hundreds of Pokemon I haven't seen, and they seem to be fond of doing this thing lately where a Pokemon will look like one type but in reality be a completely different type.
All this could easily be fixed if I could use my goddamn Pokedex in battle, like in the anime, so I'd at least have a friggin' chance of getting a good hit in! My best battle to date was super close (I still lost, but it was my fault! Not my ignorance's fault!) because I recognized each and every Pokemon and their type by eye! They can't possibly expect the average player to know all this shit by heart? My worst fight was against this guy using a Noivere or whatever, the giant bat thing, I had no fucking clue what type it was (Besides Flying, I assume) and it used like 4 different elements. I couldn't look up what it was called because its name was in fucking Japanese! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIGHT THAT?!
Ugh! And speaking of which, the worst is when I use a STAB attack with 90-120 power against an enemy that is weak against that type (In a battle where all are set to 50.) and it hits them for less than 1/5th of their HP bar, then they use a non-STAB attack that I'm weak against and I get one shot on my big tank-like Pokemon? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I'd be having so much more fun battling online if the game did ANYTHING AT ALL to help alleviate my ignorance, to try to guide me in the right direction. I haven't beaten a single person! And my Pokemon are all above level 50 naturally and know moves that I thought were pretty decent because I one-shot every-fucking-thing-in-the-universe offline, but I guess all my abilities suck and all my Pokemon suck and my lack of knowledge about 718 goddamn Pokemon makes me suck and ARRRRGH.
The worst possible feeling for a gamer in a competitive match is to lose and have no idea whatsoever what went wrong or how they could've done it better. I should be learning from every loss, not becoming hugely confused by it every time. |
