Top 10 Worst Things About Pokemon

Elite Four and Full Restores

This is so annoying! I can't believe that they use full restores in the games, but you can consider yourself lucky if you ever see someone use a full restore (or anything as a matter of fact) in the anime.

The Elite Four isn't really that annoying. I love a good challenge (even though my Mega Charizard X in Let's Go almost one-shots the entirety of Lance's team). The full restores are annoying.

Okay, everyone who thinks this is annoying is full of crap. First off, we use full restores and revives all the time and lots of it. The Elite Four only use 2-3 full restores a battle while we use like 5. Calm down, you people. We heal our Pokémon a lot more.

You want to evolve? Trade!

I know this makes no sense. Pokemon existed before people, so how would they be able to evolve ONLY through trading? It makes no sense because the wild Pokemon can't evolve!

If you trade a Pokemon, it's basically never coming back. So, I just wouldn't bother with trade evolution.

"Pokemon existed before people"
What?! So, Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori didn't exist because "Pokemon existed before people"?

Rotating trainers

Hey, let's play hide and seek with the trainers!
P.S. Maybe the reason why Brock never opens his eyes is because he knows that if two trainers make eye contact, they will have to battle. Maybe Brock closed his eyes for the rest of his life because of that.

The TPCi voice actors

Their voices don't fit the ages of the characters, their acting is consistently monotone and flat, and they generally have egos large enough that gravity can't bring them down.

They suck so much I can't even fathom it. Do they actually think this is a realistic voice? Nobody would talk like these whiny 5-year-olds in real life.

Horrible for 7+ years and counting: ruined Ash, Brock, TR, and everyone else in the English dub!

The legendary that you can't catch

Not fair. Like, is there an event coming? What if you have no internet?

Ash never ages

The kid looks exactly the same as he did 10+ years ago! I heard that when he met May, they said it had been three years since he began his journey, but at the beginning of Pokemon Black and White, the narrator says, Ten-year-old Ash Ketchum.
We must be traveling backward in time here.

People need to quit whining about this. Pokemon is a children's anime. At least in XY, we had Alain as a more mature side character in the specials. He's even shown up in the main series as a nice contrast with Ash. I look forward to seeing them go up against each other in the Team Flare arc.

Status effects

Okay, here's a rant. Darkrai. It uses Dark Void. Every one of your Pokemon falls asleep, has its health drained by Bad Dreams, never seems to wake up, and gets KO'd. You could switch, but in Wi-Fi battles, there's no Sleep Clause, so in a double battle, Darkrai could keep spamming Dark Void and Leppa Berry, and another one could keep attacking.
Thank goodness it was nerfed in Gen 7. But then there's the single-battle version: Spore. Breloom? Spore. Amoonguss? Spore. Spore, Spore, Spore. 100% accuracy, and Amoonguss is bulky, so you can't seem to take it out.

It's only good when you do it to someone else. That's why they made Facade or Synchronize.

Master Balls

Pikachu loses to wild Pokémon and weak Pokémon

My theory for this happening is that Pikachu's levels reset after every region. Think about it. It was around the end of DP when Pikachu defeated Regice, and around the beginning of the Unova anime when Pikachu lost to Snivy. That's why I think that Pikachu's levels reset after every region.

Another annoying thing is that Pikachu keeps beating overpowered Pokemon but loses to people who have never battled before. Either that's being kind or something's wrong.

Shouldn't Pikachu be at level 100 after 10+ years? But then we watch it lose to Water-Type Pokemon in the first gym. HOW DUMB IS THAT?

Zubats

Zubat, known in Japan by the same name, is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Zubat evolves into Golbat, which can further evolve into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship. It is commonly found in caves and is known for using echolocation in place of eyesight.

This is what my code would look like after the Unova Victory Road:
You ran into a wild Zubat!
You used run.
You got away safely!
You ran into a wild Zubat!
You used run.
You got away safely!
You ran into a wild Zubat!
You used run.
You got away safely!
You ran into a wild Zubat!
You used run.
You got away safely!
You ran into a wild Zubat!
You used run.
You got away safely!
etc.

Running out of repels in the middle of Rock Tunnel without a Pokemon that knows Flash. Zubats everywhere. I'm dead.

Zubats are annoying. They follow me around everywhere. I was just trying to catch an Onix or Graveler when this bat had to torture me.

Lucario's death

This is annoying. This is just sad. I cried, and that usually doesn't happen (apart from Regular Show's final episode - you should watch it, and you will see). But this was just (starts tearing up) sad.

?

Your Pokémon hurt itself in its confusion

Critical hit!

This was a major problem in Diamond and Pearl. This was back when crits still did double damage. If you watch any Sinnoh Nuzlocke, about half of the dead Pokemon someone had released died to a critical hit.

When you are:
"I am gonna catch it!
I am gonna catch it!
One more move."
And then critical hit...
Noo

One unusual gym leader

Day-Care Man doesn't know where the egg came from

Day Care Man: While we were taking care of your Pokémon, we found an egg. We have no idea where it came from, but please take good care of it.
Me: IDIOT!

*Dropped Ditto and Pikachu at the daycare*
5 mins later... "I don't know where this egg came from. Maybe there's a Xerneas inside." What do you expect, old man?!

I'll let you figure this one out.

Serena's obsession with Ash

I would shake my head in opposition, but really think about this. If Ash was aware that he had a love-struck stalker traveling with him, how would he react? What would he feel?
The idea, at least to me, would be to ask them to talk. Even if he didn't know, Ash should've been uneasy being around her. She's not well mentally!

This should be higher. I've never wanted to slap anyone like I want to slap her! She is so stupid and just downright pathetic.
Too bad she's not smart enough to figure out Ash cares more about Pikachu than anyone else. I'd love to see her crushed by that revelation. I'm a non-shipper, but I'd love to see Ash get with any other girl just so I could see Serena make a fool out of herself out of jealousy. Stupid, shallow person!

The show repeats itself

I can almost guarantee that these things will happen next in the show over time. Pignite is going to evolve into Emboar and not listen to Ash until Ash breaks down, cries, and blames himself. Somehow, they're going to say that the Toxic Badge is not an official Unova Gym Badge and make Ash go get the Legend Badge.
They'll find out that Iris is related to that gym and Ash will have to battle her. Later on, Cilan will go and become a chef. The End.

It's just the same thing. Team Rocket tries to get Pikachu (even though there are literally hundreds of other Pokemon to capture) and then gets wrecked by Pikachu.

Overrated Pokémon

Yes, Charizard is just too overrated. People who say he isn't overrated are just proving even more that Charizard is overrated by saying that. See? Plus, now Charizard has TWO megas. That is REALLY unfair.
Charizard already had annoyingly enough attention, and now Charizard fans are going nuts. Bulbasaur needs more attention. Bulbasaur is more helpful than Charmander in the gyms.
Ugh, it's just grinding my gears even more than Klink! Just ONE Stone Edge, and it's goodbye Charizard.

Yes, Charizard is barely overrated. I never tried one, but I tried only once. Also, Pikachu is annoying. His voice makes it hard to evolve overrated Pokemon. But not Lucario. Lucario's already evolved from an underrated Pokemon. So, I think Lucario is the only good overrated Pokemon.

Pokémon fans making terrible fanart

Umbreon

Umbreon, known in Japan as Blacky, is a Dark-type evolution of Eevee introduced in Generation II. Umbreon evolves when Eevee gains a high friendship level during the nighttime. It was introduced alongside Espeon in Pokémon Gold and Silver.

The only words a Pokémon can speak is its own name

Sick of the episode when Ash and his friends were stuck in a tunnel, and this guy with the glasses was telling a story about how he got his little bunny Pokémon! Bunnelby, Bunnelby! Sick of this!

What are the hamburgers made of!?

They probably kill Miltank and Tepig to make hamburgers. Then, sometimes, you see those Pokemon eat hamburgers. Cannibals.

I think one of the Pokedex entries says that Cherrim, or something like that, has a certain taste. Doesn't that mean that someone had to eat one to find that out?!

Whitney's Miltank

This Pokemon almost killed my fandom by wasting me a total of 32 times. Miltank is a tank.

Whoever Ash travels with doesn't have a last name

This always bothered me. When they say that the winner is Dawn from Twinleaf Town, there could always be two Dawns. How do they know which one is which?!

Hello! There's Todd Snap and Tracey Sketchit... Gary Oak, of course (not a traveling companion, but still an important friend of Ash).

I always thought that Alexander would be a good last name for Clemont.

Gym leader uses potion

Me: Yay! You're about to die, yay! (Presses weak move to save PP)
Gym Leader: Sorry. (Uses Hyper Potion)
Me: Nu! (Causes tiny amount of damage)
Gym Leader: (Kills my Pokemon)
