What things on GPX make you rage?

I hate when people grab eggs I bred and become inactive and never hatch them. And people who have legend eggs bred by Cypress and don't hatch them for the same reasons.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 1 2011, 03:38 PM

I hate when people complain about how many clicks they get, or when someone rages at someone else for having a difficult time doing something that some people call "easy." Basically, I hate when people act like they're entitled to something or when they act like they're superior to other people, but that extends far beyond GPX...

Posted by: Satori Komeiji Jan 1 2011, 03:39 PM

Ditto, actually. I hate to see eggs that never hatch appear in my breeding record. O nO

I also despise the eventual shelter lag -I've more than once waited for, like, five minutes after clicking an egg/pokemon for the shelter only to inform me that it has been claimed by someone else >> but it's not like anyone can do anything about that anyway, so I'm not sure it makes any sense to whine about it ><

Posted by: Superbob Jan 1 2011, 03:40 PM

The shelter lag adds suspense. lol.

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 1 2011, 03:46 PM

People who whine because something is too hard, or because something didn't go their way.

Also when people are lazy and expect legends and novelties to be practically handed to them.

Posted by: Satori Komeiji Jan 1 2011, 03:52 PM

haha! xD I can't agree more.
But-but... back in the day when I was completing the egg dex I found myself shaking my fist at the screen a lot! xP

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 1 2011, 04:04 PM

Constantly being ninja'd out of eggs, people who copy my shiny hunts just to spite me, and people who like sucking up to the staff.

Posted by: bluejay100 Jan 1 2011, 04:21 PM

Lag and errors are probably the only thing I don't like on the site. I don't consider myself lucky and I don't have the best internet connections so shelter misses aren't something I'm worried about. I don't go on these forums too often so I don't hear too much complaining (although I'll admit; I have done it in the past).

Posted by: Jen Jan 1 2011, 04:24 PM

Ughh or even people who suck up to people who know staff. x.x

And, if you do know staff, then you're obviously getting things that other people don't get, cause it's so easy to accuse people when they're jealous of what someone has done. I was so mad when I got accused of being given shinies i worked hard for (and this was before the pink shiny zergoose for nick's birthday, which was my only given shiny .-.).

I don't like having to feel like I'll be accused of getting something for free when I do things fairly like everyone else. If i had won the dress up contest i'm sure there would have been complaints. Like last year, when Pokii won, people got all upset because he was staff and probably accused him of cheating, too. =/

Edit: AND WHEN ADMINS ARE LURKING OVER MY SHOULDER WAITING FOR ME TO POST
Cause nosy *Smacks him*

Posted by: TyeK Jan 1 2011, 04:33 PM

I personally hate it when people put 'add me to palpad and you'll get daily clicks '

Posted by: Zerxer Jan 1 2011, 04:33 PM

When people PM me really dumb things. And when people reply to suggestion threads and say it can't be done because it'd be a lot of work to code it in (as if they know).

Or when Jen makes me post somewhere like here.

Posted by: CyberAngelus Jan 1 2011, 04:40 PM

I hate Will Wheaton when people go bitchin' around without reason

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 1 2011, 04:53 PM

That always cracks me up. Eh, I don't get bothered by much anymore on the site. I have to agree with the shelter lag though. I'm sitting there like "did I get it???" then a minute later it finally tells me someone else did.

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 1 2011, 04:54 PM

Maybe I should add people who brag endlessly and post about every single good thing they obtain.. in multiple places/threads

Posted by: Ruby Spritz Jan 1 2011, 05:00 PM

This is why I like Explorations 6294628462826248x more than the old events.

However, relying on other people to feed the correct berry for certain tasks sucks butt, as well as the wait limit on the Unown Exploration. Unless by the grace of God I manage to find more in the lab, it's seriously going to take me over a year to get them all. I don't mind working for what I have. But I hate waiting.

Posted by: Jen Jan 1 2011, 05:08 PM

I think relying on people is much better than relying on a completely random script though.

Also, I think unowns are broken from stocking in the lab just because I haven't seen one in there since the exploration for the unown one started. o-o but i dunno, that could just be really bad luck. (despite what wymsy has said about them still stocking, i still don't think that they are.)

this has been fixed, finally. after two whole months.

Posted by: Manah Jan 1 2011, 05:08 PM

When people say something shouldn't be added to the site (like the new boxes for gen V pokémon) just because THEY don't need it.

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 1 2011, 05:16 PM

The one that really gets up my nose is when people say 'I've hatched 200 eggs, where's my shiny?!' ...it took me 732 before I got my first shiny -__- and she was an accident (and I was upset, she broke my 'try and get 'pokemon trainer' without hatching any shinies' goal XD ) But I've heard of people who have gone well past 1000 eggs without any shinies

Posted by: Blak99Psy Jan 1 2011, 05:23 PM

I agree with Manah. I see a lot of good ideas get shot down by people just because they themselves don't need it.

What annoys me is seeing all the click-begging in people's user statements in the online list. It makes it difficult to tell people apart, saps the fun from having user statements to begin with, and makes me not want to click anyone in there. It's minor, but it annoys me still.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 05:26 PM

When people start bitching over things like "oh my friend got umped out of the top list due to a glitch" etc, especially when they don't know for sure if it was that or not. Also people that start saying their birthday is soon and they would really love to win x thing and yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.

Lag I can handle, the i-4 seems to rarely lag. <3

Posted by: Coquelicot Jan 1 2011, 05:29 PM

Foggy weather...proper interactions are nearly impossible...
tasks such as getting a pokémon at a stupidly high level in explorations with a time limit....

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 1 2011, 05:31 PM

The people who expect things to be handed to them annoy me just as much as the people who say that everything is too easy. Asking for help or something is one thing, but when they say "omg, 6k total clicks, that's way too many, lower it so i can do it 2 plz" or when someone says "lol 50k clicks rly u can get that in a day dont be baed"... They're equally bad. When people are at either end of the spectrum... >_> A lot of times on the forums, it seems like middle ground doesn't even exist.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 05:34 PM

I have to agree with Mebu on her statement, though lately the mobile GPX+ site hasmade it easier for me to interact more with people -- and get interactions in return. Still, lucky that I actually got an i-4 as a birthday present last December, otherwise I'd be pretty screwed.

I was never good at Mass Clicking with a computer.


Something that doesn't grind my gears, but does make me lol, was watching a person said they used 3 stations to click. Mobile, PC and laptop. I'm still trying to figure out how. XDD

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 05:34 PM

Horrible derp from my comp, delete please. XDD

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 1 2011, 05:41 PM

Mildly guilty of that ^.^' but I tend to just use my Mac and my Netbook to click (My netbook loads slower than my Mac, but still gives me quite a few extra interactions). I did try it with my PC as well once but that didn't quite work for me >.> <.< having a mac and computer share a monitor and a keyboard is annoying to change ^.^'' (even if it is just a button and a knob to press/turn)

Posted by: Cloudy past Jan 1 2011, 05:45 PM

One clickers. Nah, ust Kidding, man that was a big deal though.

What really Irks me is people who think they're entitled to every egg, and if someone else gets "Their" egg from the shelter, its a big deal

Posted by: Nyara Jan 1 2011, 05:46 PM

THIS!

Also- people who add me to their Pal Pads, and never click back! I've actually stopped clicking the "Users Who Have Added Me" section most days, because the majority don't give any in return.

And random people PMing me asking me to breed/drop stuff for them, I'd had my Summer Swinub for less than a day before getting a "Breed me one!" PM.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 1 2011, 05:49 PM

The complete disregard for the help page...nuff said.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 05:55 PM

Thankfully I've never gotten "BREED ME THIS PLZKTHNX!!!"PMs... But something that irks me is PMs of really idiotic questions.

I once got one about how many eggs I had from the Gen V, and after replying and asking why the person was all: "oh just wondering lolz!"

Made me want to bash my head against the monitor.



And I can understand dual clicking (I use mobile and laptop sometimes) but clicking with three stations just seems insane. Fun, but insane. XDD

Posted by: FrenzyClinic Jan 1 2011, 05:56 PM

When people use "grinds my gears" and the like.
Also, foggy weather and lag.

Posted by: Superbob Jan 1 2011, 05:57 PM

The mobile site clutched out the 2 Christmas explorations for me. I <3 it. I can click stuff blindly while watching movies before I go to sleep.


Another little thing is when I get the message saying my pokemon hatched with an item tricking me into thinking I completed a shiny hunt.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 06:00 PM

Something that irks me though: not being able to find items on the mobile version yet. >:
God knows how much faster my explorations would go if I could. XDD

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 1 2011, 06:02 PM

I saw quite a rude status message from someone on the Online List yesterday. "Whoever got my legendary, fuck you." I read that and thought, "What, really? It really sucks to miss your summon, but blame your luck, computer, internet, NOT the person who found the missed summon."

I really don't see the big deal about one-clickers, though. The only ones that ever annoyed me were the ones who insisted they'd full click later and never, even once, clicked more than one - basically taking advantage of people through lies. I don't really give a damn whether someone clicks back or not, and that makes it even more stupid for people to lie about it.

O, and another thing - when people bitch about whether someone clicks correct berry or not. Okay, I'd prefer if you only clicked the middle one that you'd turn on random berries, but it's not the end of the world if they don't. It's a website, and every berry gives experience. To complain about not getting the MAX experience out of EVERY click... I even saw one user who said that she makes a list of people who one click and she never, ever clicks them back. That was probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen on this site. Grow up, people, really...

Posted by: Letan Jan 1 2011, 06:06 PM

Every time I see something I don't have in either the Lab or Shelter, and I see that taunting 5/5 or 6/6 in the top of the page. I cry.

Posted by: TheEdgeOfForever Jan 1 2011, 06:15 PM

It annoys me a little when I see complaining because they didn't get a "pure" egg, which means: not bred by anybody... I find it quite ridiculous but whatever its their call lol.

What really annoys me though is when I want to hatch an egg/finish a task and after the interactions are processed i'm left at 99% or like 999/1000 clicks in a task... 5 MINUTES MORE.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 1 2011, 06:21 PM

@Letan: I hate that, too, but it's usually because I get there by accident. I hate when I go to click my Poketch and accidentally click the lab and see an egg I want. Otherwise, I avoid the Shelter and Lab like the plague when I have a full party.

@Edge: Aaaah, I hate that, too, especially when I just want to hatch my Pokemon before I go to bed, lol.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 06:29 PM

Ugh, I hate that 99% thing.Once I saw it missing just ONE point, O.N.E., for it to hatch... For four out of the five eggs I had in my party. XDD

I wanted to die

Posted by: Manah Jan 1 2011, 06:35 PM

Oh, and I don't understand people who only click eggs because they don't want to check out berry preferences. Seriously, clicking a random berry isn't any slower than clicking eggs.

Posted by: Komatana Jan 1 2011, 06:46 PM

When I got only one Gen V egg left to complete the current bunch, and a new bunch is out.
lags too.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 06:47 PM

Now that's just silly. XDD
A berry is a berry, even if it doesn't give you max exp it's better than not getting any.



Oh I know the feeling,I managed to /finally/ catch up now with all the eggs -- so working on leveling up Gen V Pokemons now. ^^
Until the next batch is out, then I'll be out collecting eggs again. XD


I hate the 500 error, especially when it's accompanied in the page by an 400 something one. X3

Posted by: Jen Jan 1 2011, 06:52 PM

This so much!! My longest was 800+ eggs, and I know I'm still lucky even with that high number because of those people who have gone past 1000 eggs before. .-.

Posted by: Seraphic Jan 1 2011, 07:08 PM

I hate when people complain about exploration requirements being to high or complaining about not finding a shiny after 20 eggs. Errors are quite annoying too.

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 1 2011, 07:26 PM

Thiiiis. If you want your rare Pokemon, you're gonna have to work for it. It's even worse when someone makes excuses about it, because usually it just comes down to "I'm lazy and/or impatient and I want my legend NOW".

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 1 2011, 07:35 PM

I like working for our legends. :s The explorations are awesome because we can choose which legendaries we do or don't get, and we feel accomplished when we finished the Exploration. I've seen a couple rant threads about them. >_>

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 1 2011, 07:37 PM

When people seem to be genuinely angry or upset when someone else gets a shiny they bred. I was a little disappointed when I realized my current pair bred a shiny shuppet so I can understand that (even more so if someone is shiny hunting the species) but I have seen journals, status messages, and forum posts where people seem down right devastated about pixels and data on a website.

Depending on how you're doing it, it can be. I mean I click berries and eggs separately anyway and berries with the keyboard, but for some people certain pokemon scroll when they try to click berries with their mouse.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 07:56 PM

Dude, I was missing like 8 to embark on the Celebi quest. What did I do? Grind and get all the things needed to complete seven more achievements so I could do the quest.

Seriously, some people are just too lazy for their own good. XDD


That happened to me twice, almost in a row, with my Milotic x Dratini breeding pair. Two of their offspring were shiny Dratini... Of which none of them I got. XDD
I was alittle bit upset, but out right raging mad over it is totally ridiculous. It just made me more determined to get the freaking Sliph Co thingie before the shiny race rolls over. XD

Posted by: Seraphic Jan 1 2011, 08:06 PM

If it makes you feel any better none of the children from that breeding pair are shiny. And I actually look forward to my offspring hatching shiny even if it's not mine.

Posted by: Giraffe A Laugh Jan 1 2011, 08:11 PM

FFFFFFFFFFFF
no not really xD
I get upset when I find out i've bred a shiny and didn't get it, of course it's acceptable, but USUALLY I send the people who have gotten a shiny from me a nice little pm saying congratulations x) -and then i mope in a corner foreverlulz-

no, not really, but I do get disappointed for a couple of minutes since all the shinies i've bred have all been past hunts of mine and i've only managed to get one shiny from the 12 i've bred

Posted by: Zero Gravity Jan 1 2011, 08:11 PM

Stalking the egg lab is the most obnoxious thing on the site, I become disarrayed

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 1 2011, 08:12 PM

Yeah, one always feels proud about their monshatching out a shinneh babeh.
What makes me slightly sad is that I think the users who got them might mot be terribly active -- or I could just be paranoid about it.

I know I got my only shiny like that, from a shelter grab. Was quite shocked to see the little Tyrogue hatch out shiny instead of the regular colors. XDD

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 1 2011, 08:28 PM

Lucky XD I've only bred 4 shinies and I only managed to get 1 (to which I squealed in delight because it was the shiny I'd been hunting since last year...just not very actively XD ). I missed the first 3 (the first two, a barboach and pidgey, I was a little upset about, I didn't care about the chinchou XD ) then I got my shiny barboach...(pats) never been so happy XD until I get it in the games...then it will be hooooorribly insignificant

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 1 2011, 08:35 PM

I was a bit upset to see that I'd bred a shiny Dratini. I was like, "wtf, reeaaally? This hunt is going to take forever, and there went my easy way out. " Then I saw that the user had hatched over 200 already, and then I was just proud to be the breeder. I managed to get mine later that day anyway.
I probably would rage if I ever bred a shiny Eevee (especially female), though, because of the time I've spent trying to find one. At that point, it's a bit beyond "O, it's just a game" and it's getting more into, "I have spent months of my life searching for this damn thing, and I missed it." Still, it's not the worst thing that can happen. =P

Posted by: TheEdgeOfForever Jan 1 2011, 10:25 PM

The other things that annoys me is the fact that I NEVER get infected with Pokerus... 240k interactions and no infection =(

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 1 2011, 10:46 PM

It annoys me that most of the pokerus I have gotten has been on pokemon I don't want it on and most of the time it's while I need access to my whole party for achievements or something.

My advice to you is to grab more things from the safari. I think maybe four or more of my infections came from a random pokemon I grabbed being infected since apparently that can happen as soon as you grab them. In fact it also happened to a gardevior I released, it got pokerus as soon as it was adopted by someone else.

Posted by: JelloJolteon2000 Jan 1 2011, 10:59 PM

I hate when people steal shelter stuffs from under my nose- especially unobtained dream world eggs. Or when the site lags so much that the shelter doesn't refresh and I try at least seven times to get one of the winter novelties to no avail.

Lost summons and shinies suck, as does running out of heart sweets. Waltzing into hypocrite land here, I also dislike it when people don't have any appreciation for what I released and just box it in no time flat. Or worse yet, when people just box shinies like that without even trying to level them up. :/

Posted by: Superbob Jan 1 2011, 11:47 PM

I've only gotten Pokerus on poision pokemon I grabbed from the safari

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 2 2011, 12:29 AM

I box most of what I hatch -- but that's 'cause I'm trying to complete the EggDex. I plan on only making public boxes wuth Pokemon at level 100... Once I stop being lazy and organize everything. XD

Posted by: Bluity Jan 2 2011, 01:29 AM

Sometimes I rush on the computer at X:10 to release my daycare eggs before x:12, and of course the site decides to lag. One time I was lucky: I released by egg literally a second before the breeding script kicked in

Similarly at the top of the hour there could be an egg that just needs a couple hundred points to hatch before X:12 so I massclick just to hatch it out and swamp with a daycare egg before the next breeding cycle. More than once I massclicked only to get a 5111/5120 at X:10 :/

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 2 2011, 01:47 AM

When hail happens and I am almost ready to evolve future shuppet... and then it turns into aurora after reset. >_>

Posted by: Superbob Jan 2 2011, 02:26 AM

Lol I evolved my Past Misdreavus 3 minutes before the snow went away.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 04:41 AM

There's actually not much about GPX+ itself that I don't like (mostly it's things like lag and such which are at fault on my end). Most everything I hate is about the people on here, with only a few about the site itself:

-----| Having to get Pokemon to level 100 or close to it in Explorations (I believe someone else said this too). Granted, I only saw this in the Celebi Exploration, but I haven't done many of them, so it still sets a bad idea -- there's an achievement for getting a certain number of 100s, so I honestly don't think that they should be NEEDED for Explorations. Level 50? Great. Level 60/65? Perfect, good range. Level 70? Sure, why not.
-----| People who complain when someone gets their summon. That's just how the site works, man. And I'm sure you'd take someone else's summon without a second thought.
-----| Hoarders to a lesser degree. Considering you need a ton of Legendaries/Novelties for stats, achievements, or shiny hunts, while it still grinds my gears a little, at least I understand their reasonings. Though since I'm not interested in achievements or most shinies, I pass up Legendaries/Novelties I already have all the data for in the Lab/Shelter/Safari Zone, and when I DO shiny hunt them, I drop what ends up not shiny. And then the shiny too, if I don't like it.
-----| A few things said earlier by others:
-- People shooting down ideas because they don't need them/they're "too hard to code"
-- People who have the whole "click me!" in their status or "Add me I click." My Pal Pad is for my friends, and if you wanna add me, that's just fine; if I need extra interactions for something, since the online list lags, I usually go to that first, but seriously?
-- People who whine about click requirements being too high and being too hard, and on the other end of the spectrum, people who are like "You guys suck you can easily get that." No, YOU can easily get that. YOU are not the example for everyone, so it's very likely and also very possible for someone to not be able to do what YOU can. And on the other end, it may be a game, but to get a lot of the nice things in ANYTHING, especially games, you often have to work hard and put in the time. Ask people who play RPGs what they have to do to get their party the ultimate spells/weapons/summons sometime.
-- People who add you to their Pal Pad, yet never click you first and often never click back. If I take to my "Users who have added me" thing you're lucky, but I don't make a habit of it because there's little point unless I'm starving for interactions.
-- People who take my bred eggs then never hatch them.
-- When you hit 999/1000 for Explorations or 99% maturity for eggs.

But what if it's a shiny you absolutely despise, only got by accident, and don't even want?

I hatched a Shiny Stantler, and my first thought wasn't "OH AWESOME," it was "DEAR GOD WHY, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THIS ONE, MY EYES ARE BLEEDING."

Posted by: Teh Lady K Jan 2 2011, 05:03 AM

This
My first shiny was a Heracross I got by accident and the pinkness is simply horiffic.


Also, I hate it when people beg for the tasks and such in explorations. I've got a friend who knows that I'm more easily able to get more interactions per day then her (she doesn't even have the newbie clicker achievement because of how little she clicks) and so when we both go on explorations, I end up overtaking her and she sits there pestering me about what the next tasks are so she can attempt to keep up.
Half the time not even a vague "find this pokémon and keep it with you" is enough to calm her, she needs to know exactly why and what level it needs to be or I'm not useful to her any more >>

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 2 2011, 05:21 AM

I take them from the lab and hatch them, I even grab them hatched from the safari and I have a couple reasons for this. The first being that there are a few legendaries I want shinies of so I will try. The second is you need to have hatched each legendary you get in order for it to count toward the I Am Legend achievement. I mean I drop manaphies and summons all the time so I know where you're coming from but I'm not going to give someone else an egg when I can try for a shiny and work toward an achievement.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 05:26 AM

I don't even like Stantler NORMALLY. It's like they took one of the most bleh Pokemon and gave it the most horrible, eye-gouging color they could think of. IT'S LIME GREEN.



"Sorry, that's against the rules and I could get in trouble for it."

Repeat until she shuts up.





See, that's not my issue. If people want to hatch Legendaries for a Shiny or Achievement, that's totally fine, and I'd do it too if I cared at all about that stuff right now. It's the ones who KEEP them that make me angry. At least drop them into the Shelter so someone else can get the Dex Info!

Anyway, I wasn't saying that everyone should pass up eggs or not hatch them, I'm saying that it makes me angry when they keep a huge surplus of them well past the possible drop-date, and I'm saying that I myself would pass them up, because that's how I work. Nobody else has to work like me. I'm not God or anything. XD

I edited it to make a bit more sense -- I'm sorry if you thought I was attacking people who shiny hunted them or anything!

Posted by: Furor Jan 2 2011, 06:05 AM

People who moan over getting a shiny that isn't to their fancy, a shiny is a shiny. Atleast you got one, it doesn't matter if it is the most pretty one ever or one that looks horrible, stop complaining and be happy.


and hoarders that actually cry if they don't get something they need.. quite a few here.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 06:09 AM

I don't moan when I get a Shiny I don't want, persay, but if it's one I don't like, I'm sure as hell not gonna keep it. XD I'll gripe about how it's ugly to my friends, be thankful that I got a shiny so I can get towards the achievement, then just drop it so someone who actually wants it or doesn't care can get it. Everybody wins!

And even if I DO moan, it's along the lines of "God this thing is ugly. Oh well." and not along the lines of I WANTED THIS ONE WHY DIDN'T I GET THIS ONE MY LIFE IS OVEERRRRRR.

Anyway, it's kind of unfair to ask someone to be happy about getting something they hate, even if it's something special. Be THANKFUL, yes, but not happy.




On another topic of what grinds my gears.... people who just PM me for no reason. We've never met, never talked, I was never in their shop and they were never in mine, but they just up and PM me out of the blue to ask me for something or try to get me to help them with something.

Posted by: intu Jan 2 2011, 06:55 AM

sorry but I lol'd.... this is ridiculous to be honest..

i can imagine you crying from sadness when you got your ugly ugly shiny stantler ;; it's SO horrible really..

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 07:11 AM

How so? Continuing this is with the assumption I already had Lugia and Shadow Lugia, I wouldn't need either their Egg info or their Dex info. Why is it ridiculous that I would choose, then, to let someone else who DID need one or both of those get a chance at it? I don't actually give a crap about Achievements since I have enough to go on every Exploration I actually have an interest in at this point, and there are far easier ones to get if I didn't.




Crying from sadness? No. I was disappointed that I got a shiny I had no intention of keeping, yes, but I just shrugged, was happy I got the Shiny Dex info for it since that's one less Shiny hunt, and then abandoned it to the Shelter.

I just don't see why someone should be happy about getting something they hate. There's a huge difference between being happy about something and being thankful for something, after all, and they don't have to be together. They usually are, but they don't have to be. I've gotten gifts from people before that I had absolutely no use for or never even wanted, but I was thankful that they thought enough of me to get me something in the first place.

In the same reign, I was thankful I was lucky enough to check off another Shiny Dex entry, but that doesn't mean I was going to keep the Stantler or bother putting any work into leveling it. Even if I DID keep it, I would've just shoved it into a box set on private and left it there, never to be seen again. And for a shiny, that would've been a huge waste.

Posted by: Elito Jan 2 2011, 07:16 AM

All I have to say is: "BAWWWWWW PIXELS"
I mean really guys, you should be both HAPPY and THANKFUL to get something like that, cause others don't get the opportunity to have it. And btw, shinies on GPX+ are rare ya know, so having them by yourself is umm... kinda special. IDK probably.
About hoarding legends... well, you can never know if its going to be a shiny or not. Thats why you take all the eggs you summon.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 07:20 AM

Again: I'm not against people hoarding Legendary eggs to hatch for Shiny. I'm against people hoarding Legendary Pokemon. You know, already hatched and clearly NOT shiny?

And as for being happy about getting something you hated -- would you be happy if someone gave you something you had no use for, hated the look of, and just generally didn't want? I don't know a single person who would. I know plenty of people who would be happy and thankful about getting it, but not about having it. There's a difference.

And who says they don't get a chance to have it? I DROPPED it the moment I could so someone COULD get the chance to have it.




Another thing that annoys me, to stay on the topic of the thread: people who put something in their status or journal like "Can you summon/breed/drop this?" or that plus "It's my birthday so you should totally do it for me."

Posted by: intu Jan 2 2011, 07:21 AM

well if he doesn't grab lugia i'm assuming he doesn't like shiny lugia either so why risking it to be only THANKFUL instead of HAPPY.. if he can be happy, having given someone a shiny legendary "summoned by someone else"

let him bawww if he wants to bawww imo

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 07:30 AM

One: I'm a girl.
Two: No, I don't like Shiny Lugia.
Three: I don't see how calmly pointing out my opinion and supporting it is "baww"ing.
Four: Yes, I WOULD be very much happy if something I summoned that someone else took was shiny. If I knew about it, I'd even congratulate that person. Hell, when I was breeding Vulpixes for shinies, two other people hatched 'em shiny before I did, and I thought that was awesome for those guys.
Five: That's all I'm going to say on this matter here. This isn't a thread for arguing why we disagree with each other, after all, and I'd rather not derail it any further.

Posted by: intu Jan 2 2011, 07:36 AM

I don't know about you, but there are some people who want to have good stats.. and you know there is this stat, Most Very Rares/Novelties (1. Big Bidoof - Has 805 very rares/novelties)

you see?




and well Tobias is a male name.. i apologize for not checking out "what" you have or don't have in your pants :P

Posted by: Furor Jan 2 2011, 07:37 AM

Well Tobias Hayes, I applaud you for actually releasing a shiny you dislike.. my previous message wasn't directed at you, but I really think that if you don't like a shiny, then just release it.. but many people won't do that, why? I don't know.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 07:42 AM

Yes, I do see, and I apologize. I was actually completely unaware that stat existed, so it makes sense now. I still don't like the idea of hoarding very rares, but at least people have a reason for it, so that makes it better. I've gone from an actual dislike to apathy, because hey, just because I don't care about stats doesn't say a thing about them. If they want good stats and have to hoard to get it, well, they're working towards something, so good for them.

And that makes sense too. XD This actually used to be an account for a male character of mine, but I thought "This isn't roleplaying, why the hell did I do that?" so I'm changing it back once I can.



I didn't think it was, but I'm used to being the scapegoat so I felt like I needed to say it anyway. XD

And if they don't release a shiny they don't like, then they have no grounds for complaining about it. o_o Why would you keep something you don't like unless it had some kind of sentimental value?



EDIT: BECAUSE I R SPEL GUD

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 2 2011, 07:44 AM

Yes, I'm hoarding Giratina. I have its shiny too, but I still take them, if I see any. And no, I'm not dropping any of them. No dex data4u man!! What an asshole I am, for liking legends and wanting to keep them. Let's bawww... Baw over my Giratinas that will rot in my account and honour me please.

To my experience, almost every legend I dropped have been picked up by people who already had multiples of that legend, anyway. Not people who actually needed it.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 07:48 AM

Haha, look at me, lying when I said I wouldn't say anything more.

To my credit, this a thread for complaining about things that bother us. I never said people were assholes for hoarding, and I don't think they are. If you wanna hoard something, fine. I'm not you, your mother, or God, I don't get to say what you can and can't do.

I personally don't believe in hoarding, thus why I personally will not do so, and why I personally will give others a chance. Sure, it usually does go to someone who doesn't need it, but I can only control what I do, and if that happens, at least I can go "Oh well, I tried."

And for that one time that someone who really needs it does get it? That's what makes it worth it. I dropped a Primal Dialga once (before you corrupt to get them) and the guy who got it sent me a message thanking me immensely for it.

Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Posted by: Jirah Jan 2 2011, 07:51 AM

This, plus the simple fact some people prefer to releases masses of pokemon at once makes me feel fine about their legendary hoards, though it may make me a bit jealous. meh, they're not mine anyway.

On what the topic asks for, i'd go for lag like everyone else and needing 1 click or less than 100 maturity in a friggin egg left to hatch/ to go next exploration step (both seemed to happen today, ironically)




lol...

Yay for shelter stalking!

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 07:55 AM

Like I said a couple times before. If you're going for a shiny or achievements, I have no issue with you. The issue I DID have was the fact that people who didn't need either had upwards of 5 or 6 copies of a non-Forme Pokemon. That was before I knew there was a STAT for it, however, so now I'm just sort of the same. "Eh, lucky bastards. Oh well."

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 2 2011, 08:00 AM

Why is it ridiculous? Do you grab eggs you don't want?



Except she released it so maybe someone who will appreciate it ended up with it. You're not really going to enjoy something you don't want and releasing it will help someone who might enjoy having it.




I hate that so much but I'm really not fond of being pm'd about such things either. I mean, there is no trading so there's no guarantee they end up with it either way. I don't like making promises I can't keep.




You know what other stat BB has a lot of? Failed summons. Because maybe someone else may appreciate them (I know I appreciate every failed summon of someone else's I get, even if I release them later. So why is it bad that someone would outright say they would summon something without grabbing it to help someone else?




Why does it feel like everyone's ganging up on her for stating things she doesn't like? You know, that thing this thread is for?

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 08:05 AM

Some of them are. Some of them have admittedly pointed out reasonings to me, which I appreciate -- I didn't know there was a stat for having Very Rare/Novelty Pokemon, for instance.

The thing that bothers me with them is not that they're ganging up on me or anything, but that some of them seem to assume I care about Achievement and Stats... and I don't. Achievements are a fun little diversion but the ones I have I got because they were either in line with what I did for myself anyway or I wanted them. I'm not going to struggle after achievements, they'll either happen in time or they won't. I don't really care.

And stats I don't give ANY crap about. To me, they're pointless, so I don't bother working towards them. But I don't judge people who DO care about stats, because god knows there's plenty of things I care about that others find pointless.

Posted by: blueice Jan 2 2011, 08:17 AM

what i dislike about this site is the lag
i have never seen so much lag anywhere else
really i hate the lag, espescially since its always on days where having no lag would help a lot

Posted by: ValkohomeJuusto Jan 2 2011, 08:18 AM

I hate it when I can't find a pokemon I am looking for. I've been trying to find one of those ice creams all week with no luck.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 08:19 AM

Ug, agreed.

Unfortunately, the lag generally comes from our side, so there's not much to be done about it.


THE THING I HATE THE MOST:
Seeing an Egg I'm curious about while mass-clicking, but then losing it as the tabs close themselves.

Posted by: Manah Jan 2 2011, 10:10 AM

Remember that you have to hatch 50 egg with more than 20,000 maturity within a day for the Dedicated achievement and keep them. Finding and hatching 50 Legendary/Novelty eggs can take quite a while.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 10:20 AM

Yeah, thanks to everyone it's dissolved into idle apathy. I still don't agree with it for it's sake, but I'm fine with people who have reasons for doing it.

Just keep in mind that I was here before achievements, and there were plenty of people with tons of copies. Those are the ones I generally twitch at.

Posted by: methylMercury Jan 2 2011, 10:29 AM

Ugh I have to get rid of this post. I am going to be ill if I leave it here.

Posted by: Matsumoto Rangiku Jan 2 2011, 11:18 AM

- Lag.. well, there's nothing we can do against it but it's just no fun if you're trying to click something and need way longer for it than normal.

- Missing eggs because someone else is faster.
I tried to grab a Mystery Egg from Dream World yesterday for over 15 minutes and missed it because someone was always faster - that really wasn't fun at all.

- When you need an egg for an exploration or else and it just isn't there (and of course if you don't need it, it's everywhere )

- People who have added me to their Palpad or Users I have added and even if they say somewhere in there journal that they always click back, just don't do that.
I don't mind if they would click me once at least, but not clicking at all (plus being online) just bugs me.

Posted by: Jirah Jan 2 2011, 11:38 AM

Oh yes, i also hate repel a lot. it vanishes if there isn't any "never obtained before" egg, it's one page only and shows repeated eggs. blargh.

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 2 2011, 12:20 PM

Good on you, Tobias! Not very many people willingly give up their summons ^.^ Me, personally, I like to keep my legendaries, just so I can go 'Oh I remember the trouble you put me through...my refresh finger hasn't gotten back to normal yet!!' XD but also achievements. (aiming for a box full of Ho-Oh...I ALWAYS see it >.> Once I get that...it'll just be shiny hunting. If I get that, then NO MORE! X.x other people can have my Ho-Oh eggs after that )


But oh god the repel....(kicks repel) find me some unown dammit! (can you even still get it in the lab O.o )

Posted by: Tamesis Jan 2 2011, 12:26 PM

Errors of all types... Especially 504 errors... Those are evilness. Though thats on websites everywhere.
Ditto for Lag.
Ummm... On GPXPlus in Particular... Clicks not registering. The 1 hour old hatch rule, most annoying for low maturity eggs.

Posted by: Samoo Jan 2 2011, 12:26 PM

;; that sucks Jen... that really does :/ Besides, even if you were given shinies, it's none of people's business to complain about it and question it :P

What really annoys me is probably being nijna'd out of eggs too... even if you're super quick, like instant. It goes. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU xDD

Oh... and when people don't hatch their eggs too




It's pretty easy actually. Just buy a few fossils and use those. Besides, finding summons in the Lab is pretty easy too.

Posted by: Seraphic Jan 2 2011, 12:30 PM

I really hate when people complain about what other people have and what they do with it.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 12:38 PM

I actually whined a bit when I got my shiny Sunkern - it felt like it sapped my luck for shinies I actually wanted. Of course, I appreciated the dex entry and I believe I got my shiny Murkrow shortly afterward... I guess it's not so much that they hate getting a shiny, it's that they're disappointed that THAT was their random shiny, not something cool like a novelty or a Pokemon they like. At least that's what it was for me, but I appreciated it enough to keep it. I'm glad I did now, because it helped me win a nice prize in the latest contest. =P Everything has a use~ Although I still wish there was a noticeable difference in color from the non-shiny to the shiny. =/ That's what disappointed me the most. I prefer shinies that you can look at and say, "O, hey, cool, a shiny," not "Wait, what? That's a shiny? It looks just like the normal one." Except the Mebukijika line because I freaking love those beautiful deer.

As for hoarding... For quite some time, I dropped every duplicate novelty/legendary... Until I looked at a second time at the Dedicated achievement and regretted it. Now I'm going for that, and am actually a bit upset that I HAVE to keep them to finish the achievement. It's keeping me from shiny hunting. I wish it would just keep a running counter and let us drop them. I do drop duplicate novelties under 20k experience, or duplicate novelties/legendaries over 20k that I didn't hatch in time, though.

Posted by: nook Jan 2 2011, 12:38 PM

I hate it when people complain about other people complaining, just makes it worse.

But of course, I'm complaining about people complaining about complaining, so I'm just a hypocrite.

Posted by: Manah Jan 2 2011, 01:05 PM

I now feel the need to quote this:


Points don't come out of nowhere, and don't even start talking about massclicking. Just because I know how to do it doesn't mean I'm able to. I know it can be easy IF you choose to do it that way, but not everyone does.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 2 2011, 01:07 PM

@ Manah: I believe his point was that you can just rely on fossils (which are much more readily available) to do it rather than trying to rely on summons.

(Judging from what he quoted. He can correct me if I'm wrong. *shrugs*)

Posted by: Sackstuffing Jan 2 2011, 01:12 PM

Sometimes what grinds my gears is when people come to this thread and talk about missed summons. I mean, I understand missing a shiny Eevee that you've spent many months searching for, and countless hours upon hours of clicking only to find that your Wild Munchlax only has 33 interactions. Big deal though, it's just a pretty fun/addictive game that everyone wants to HATCH 'EM ALL! on.

Posted by: Manah Jan 2 2011, 01:14 PM

Yes, but not everyone wants to spend their points on fossils. It's even easier if you take Slime Slugmas. Still some people decide to do it with summons. I already had two Rayquazas and still used my Green Orb because I need more summons for the summoner achievements. And since I hatched it within a day, I kept it for Dedicated. I plan to do that with other summons as well. Voilà, I'm hoarding.

I wasn't talking about the difficulty anyway.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 01:26 PM

I raged about missing my summon for the first time... But it wasn't as much about actually missing said summon as it was my own stupidity. I got so excited to use my first enigma stone that I used it on a really laggy day, and I was far more angry at myself for my greedy impatience than actually missing the summon. xD I try to be a very patient person, so it really bothers me when I find myself being so impatient. So, it wasn't really raging at the game, but raging at myself for letting my excitement cloud my judgment, and if that can happen in a GAME, then I really need to watch out for it in real life. /overthinking

Posted by: Sike Saner Jan 2 2011, 02:56 PM

When I get too trigger-happy with the F5 key, especially when I'm looking right freaking at whatever I'm refreshing for when I hit that key. D'oh! Though I do also find it kind of funny, in a weird way, how I can continue to do that as frequently as I do. X3

Also general drama, I suppose, although that's more of a "invokes my pity and/or amusement" thing than a "grinds my gears" thing.

Posted by: Shudders Jan 2 2011, 02:58 PM

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 03:24 PM

I do that ALL THE TIME, Sike. It drives me insane. I've missed so many mystery eggs because of that in the Dream World, and it's the reason for my second lost summon.

@Shudders: That has been one of my pet peeves on the site since I joined. Same with the wrong berries stuff. When I first started, I thought the wrong berry gave negative experience and happiness because of how much people complained about it.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 2 2011, 03:34 PM

Lol ditto to this. I do that a lot. It's especially easy when you've been stalking for a half hr or more. You don't even notice when what you're looking for finally pops up despite looking dead at it.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 03:36 PM

I refreshed over a Groudon in the lab once. Made me sadface because that and Primal Dialga are the last ones I need to complete my collection of summons. Ffff

Posted by: Lucca Majere Jan 2 2011, 03:39 PM

When it's foggy.

I also don't like how high the exploration requirements are. I'm a really new player and it's discouraging to see I need SO MANY dex entries to do an exploration. Achievements, interactions, no problem. But dex entries are something I can only really get a limited number a day so...:\ It just seems high to me. I don't think that makes me lazy.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 2 2011, 03:46 PM

Given how new you are I can understand how it may seem daunting upon first look. I think once you get into the swing of things a little more you'll be on your way.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 03:51 PM

Dex entries were the hardest part for me, too. I had a lot of trouble getting mine because I hate hatching and evolving things I don't like - I prefer shiny hunts. Finding a goal to work towards makes it a bit easier, though. I got a lot of my dex entries when I decided I wanted to finish the second gen dex so I could try to get a Silver Wing. Then I got Ditto, so I did my best to finish Kanto Master. But I agree, 300 dex entries seems like a LOT, especially when you're just starting to fill your dex.

Posted by: Bluity Jan 2 2011, 03:53 PM

Glad I'm not the only one who does that. It's especially funny when you scan the shelter, press F5, then see that egg right there when the refresh is about to load. I've had to press the red X to stop reloading just to get the egg. works surprisingly well.

Also, there are times when you zone out so much that you start clicking the big coartoony eggs on the shelter background. please tell me I'm not the only one who did that.

Posted by: Mizuiro no Yume Jan 2 2011, 03:54 PM

-Complains about the requirements for explorations.
I understand they can be a little too high for someone new, but otherwise I think if someone doesn't have the requirements, that person could have troubles finishing the exploration...

-People sending me PMs asking me to breed something for them.
If they were my friends, maybe I wouldn't mind and would do it, but someone I don't know asking me that out of the blue is not something I enjoy.

-Complains about how they got something they didn't want.
You got something and though you don't have to be happy if it's not what you wanted, at least don't complain about it with people who did want it.

-Shelter lag and lab lag.
I can deal with lag while clicking because I end just reading something in the meantime, but when I'm trying to get something, even if it's something common and I know I have good chances of getting it, having to wait for almost a minute annoys me to no end.

-Having to release my level 100 spares because I don't have room anymore ;O;
Yesterday I couldn't even take out the pokemon that was on the vs.seeker and I don't know how I'll manage in the next site wide shiny hunt ._.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 03:56 PM

@Bluity: I think I've done that a couple times when I was really tired or distracted, if that's any consolation. xD

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 2 2011, 04:03 PM

Oh...the F5 (or Command+R for me) trigger happiness XD yeah. VERY prone to it. I'm just too impatient.

Posted by: Draknir Jan 2 2011, 04:42 PM

-People who complain about one-clickers. Its a win-win situation if you click back. Free points and a chance they'll click you full party. Not to mention that the Open X amount of Tabs doesn't stop at the last full party before X.

-When I am avidly searching for something and refresh over it. One time I did it like nine times.

-People who want lower requirements for Explorations and Tasks. Having to get 300 Dex entries really is not that hard. Same goes for having to give a Wild Pokémon a specific berry 100 times.

-People who don't like features that they don't/can't use. I've got a friend who doesn't like the Mobile site because he can't use it.

-People who complain about error messages. There is absolutely nothing that can be done.

-People who complain about the weather. Same reason as above.

That and people asking you to drop spare novelties and legends. I mean, man, I'll drop them when I want to drop them!

Posted by: Lucca Majere Jan 2 2011, 04:55 PM

...am I the only one who finds it amusing how many people in this thread are complaining about other people complaining? XD

But thank you guys for being nice. And you're right, I know I'll get that 300 dex entries eventually if I keep at it. TBH it's probably the fact I've been shiny hunting that's slowing me down from getting new pokemon. XD

I guess I was just worried I'd miss my window of oppertunity for an exploration, but it seems like the same ones are available again later. So by the next time I might be able to do it.

To stay on topic...people that overreact to things. O.o A couple of the responses for those who got nothing from the drawing are really over the top. I didn't get anything either, but you know what? It was just luck, so I'm going to move on and do other things on the site.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 05:36 PM

SO. MANY. TIMES.




Nnnnoooope, I've done it too. "ARG, WHY WON'T IT GIVE ME THIS EG-........oh."

Posted by: Ironyman Jan 2 2011, 05:50 PM

Error messages, and when someone claims the pokémon I want from the shelter pages just as I click on it, but thats normal. Nothing really aggravates me about the site, except the fact that I spend more time here than I should.

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 2 2011, 06:02 PM

No, it doesn't. I was talking more about the people who aren't new, and aren't that far from getting what they need, but choose to complain anyway.

Now, you know what makes me really, really mad? When people accuse mass clickers of having no life. Not only is it rude and hurtful, but it's incorrect. I and a lot of other mass clickers have work or school.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 2 2011, 06:39 PM

I generally assume that mass clickers have a bit more time than others, maybe, but what's important is that they have the right TOOLS. I could technically be a mass clicker myself (and I HAVE no life, trust me), but my computer is way too old to handle this site fast enough to be anywhere close to that.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 07:02 PM

God, I saw so many people getting really pissed off about not getting anything in the drawing. It was the same way with the Christmas vouchers. Someone in the Christmas vouchers thread even said, "OMG I GOT THIS EGG AND THIS EGG, WHY ME, O GOD WHY". I just want to smack people like that. They put something nice together for us, and even if you didn't get lucky, it was still nice of them to get it going in the first place.

I even saw people complaining about WHAT they got. "I got Present Drifloon. What the hell, this is what I picked in the exploration. Thanks a lot, guys. >_>" You have another parentless one, though. Maybe you'll be lucky and it'll be the opposite gender, or REALLY lucky and it'll be shiny. Ffffff. I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get anything from the drawing, but I hatched a lot of eggs yesterday while I was clicking for the entries. Good enough for me.

@Tobias: Yeah, I think it's mostly their computer/connection. My computer is kind of low-end and I'm on a router with a shared connection. xD Takes me all day to get a couple thousand, and there's no way in hell I'd be able to get 50k+ with what I have.

Posted by: Gambrinous Antiscian Jan 2 2011, 09:10 PM

Some of these aren't really huge issues like they were in the past, but:

*People who beg me to click for them with their accounts. Seriously, it ain't gonna happen, and it's against the rules anyways. I put in the effort to get my somewhat consistent high clicking scores each day, and I've even put together how I do it - with a little help from various other users who've shared their tips and tricks on top of what I do. There's no other secret to how I click, and I have a pretty shitty connection myself; if you expect me to do your clicking for you and rack up achievements and other cool stuff you didn't work for, think again. On top of that, those who actually had the nerve to ask for my password whilst asking me to click for them... LMAO! What are you going to do? Get me 200 clicks in a week whilst I rack up 100,000 or more in return? Or are you planning to release my shit then grab it with your account? lulz... Seriously though, if you fit into this category, quit your bitching, read the guides thoroughly, and you'll be hitting 5-digit scores as well. I don't see why other people should do your work for you whilst you accumulate achievements and rewards for doing fuck all. If you want to do that shit, learn how to bot and get yourselves banned - us working for you falls in the same category, which is why it's against the rules in the first place.

People bitching over exploration difficulty. What? You want your legends to be hand-delivered by the staff on a diamond-studded golden platter for doing almost nothing? Hell, compared to the old event system we used to have, explorations are merely a step closer to that dream. At least when you embark on an exploration, you know your endeavors will pay off once you complete it, and a whole month or more is more than enough time to get one of these done! Getting a legend for your hard work > maybe getting a legend for your hard work. Furthermore, I see the term "10x faster than I am" a lot when it comes to bitching over how fast people can complete the explorations... so what? Us "fast people" take one or two days; you have a month, so 10 to 20 days means you'll still get it done, right? So quit your whining. Explorations have actually been made a hell of a lot easier now, with a lot of tasks only requiring a few hundred clicks if that. Again, look at a mass-clicking guide and you can attain those clicks in a matter of minutes! If you want to see what a difficult exploration really looks like, try "The Burning Desire" - arguably the most time-consuming exploration to ever exist. Not everything has to be easy, so consider yourselves lucky that the majority of these explorations actually are easy.

Randoms you've never seen before asking for breeds. Put yourselves in our shoes and think about whether you yourselves want to receive such PMs - the majority written about as legible as a dog belly-sliding over a keyboard then plonking its fat arse on the ! or ? keys for about 5 or 10 seconds. It takes an hour for pokémon to produce eggs, with the chance that a novelty egg might not appear. After obtaining said novelty egg, it takes a further 12 hours for it to be abandoned (why waste a Heart Scale?). Finally, you grabbing said novelty once it's been dropped is down to chance, and I doubt very many people want to waste their time dropping countless novelties for somebody they don't even know until they grab one. There are breeding groups in the GPX clubs sections; why don't you have a look around first before you go asking us to go out of our way to breed stuff for you?

The raffle. Ok, so this was more of a lulzy thing than anything, but... It's a game of luck, people, so stop being so expectant just because you got a high activity score yesterday. I got a decent score, but what I got was something I already had, yet I'm not bitching. I'm going to drop it later, so let's just say I got nothing for ranking in 16th at the end of the day. XD It was a bit of fun; a game of luck that gives everybody who participated a chance at something good. If you got nothing, be happy for those that did get something. They got their tickets in with their activity for the day, therefore they've earned the right to be in the draw for something awesome. Everyone has a chance at getting something or nothing, so why should you be any different?

Lag. ...But everyone has to deal with it, so I can't say much on this one. =P

I hate it when I'm in the Dream World and I see the generic egg sprite and I go to take it but a moving Pokemon comes and blocks it from my mouse. It happened to me twice today...

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 2 2011, 09:38 PM

I haaaate that. Before the regular shelter was seaparated into egg and Pokemon sections, a Geodude blocked a Moltres egg from me.

Posted by: eXcelon969 Jan 2 2011, 10:03 PM

I hate the moving Pokemon in general. They make my computer lag up sometimes.

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 2 2011, 11:05 PM

The entitlement I seem to be seeing more of lately. There was at least one person in the Happy 2011 thread bitching about getting nothing from the raffle despite working so hard while the most they could have had was one entry (their highest activity score was around 3000 and that wasn't even from yesterday. Not to mention the whining in the Christmas presents thread about their free pokemon. Don't want it? Release it.

I absolutely hated that I had to waste a couple boxes for that achievement. It felt nice to drop them all at once though.




I have done this so many times, even just in the last few days.




I don't click them but sometimes I see a bit of color under a normal egg and try to figure out what it is... only to realize it's the background. >_>




I wouldn't enjoy anyone doing it. I don't make promises I don't think I can keep and I don't feel like dropping things around someone else's schedule. I always advise people to look from xx:27 to xx:30 if they want a rare egg since that's when most bred things end up in the shelter.




I don't understand people putting the effort into avoiding clicking someone back based on the amount of clicks they gave. For the most part I am clicking for me, not for other people. I get points, the pokemon in my walker gets leveled, and you may or may not click me back. I mean I like helping other people out with my clicking but if I didn't have something to gain from it, I probably wouldn't be doing it. Though I do click wild pokemon to help others, I hate those tasks enough and I know what a pain it can be when you have to rely on luck and other users to get something done.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 2 2011, 11:24 PM

If there are still people out there who can be bothered to avoid clicking one-clickers with the current system, then that is terribly immature. I thought everyone just did the open xxx number of Pokemon in tabs thing. To be honest, I couldn't tell you if anyone even HAS one-clicked me since this was implemented because I don't even look anymore. I'm really glad the berry recorder is gone, too, for all those anal people who checked EVERY INTERACTION so that they would ONLY click people who clicked the right berry for EVERY POKEMON. "O, I don't want to reward lazy people." And I don't want to reward people who go through so much trouble to avoid someone who did something for them. It's like getting a gift, and hating a person because they spent only $10 instead of $20.

Sorry, that was pretty much just a lengthier rant about the sense of entitlement so many people have these days that I mentioned in my first post... >_>

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 3 2011, 12:18 AM

Don't be sorry, it wasn't like you just added words to make it look longer. You did add some things. Besides, my posts in this thread have been ginormous, yours was tiny in comparison. :P But I clearly have too much experience complaining on forums. >_>

I would think people would just click the open x amount links and buttons too but I still see journals and what not about not clicking back one clickers and apparently some people have gotten into trouble for making blacklists (I can't remember where I read that though). It confuses me because you have to put more effort into avoiding clicking someone than they probably did to one click you seeing as most one clicks these days were because they didn't finish the list and just stopped or they were clicking pokemon and eggs separately.

Posted by: Sick Soul Jan 3 2011, 12:35 AM

Huurp. A few things grind my gears

A) When people bitch that mass clickers get everything/have no life.
Actually, oh IDk they Do have lives. They just have time and the effort to actually click in this game. Why shouldnt they get more shinies, be high up on the stats and such. People need to learn to shut the frick up.

B) People that beg to get clicked. And i mean, sitting there on other forums going, "omg plz help my eggs! They need to hatch!! I want to know if its shiny!!!!" Like really. Im tired of yelling at them to stop and to get off their lazy butts

C) People that Pm me for novs/legendaries. Yes, I have a hoard of them, but I hatched them. So frick off. ima hoard them till i dont want them. And just because I have a lot, doesnt mean ill drop then at the drop of a dime for you.

Posted by: Nyara Jan 3 2011, 12:40 AM

I have totally never done that. Nope. Not once. *cough*blatantlie*cough*


Yeah...I'm getting pretty close to this point. The shiny hunt is gonna be fun.



IAWTC.


That one never fails to make my head hurt. I mean...how does someone think that's an acceptable request?



*nodnodnod* We need a DW version of the Safari Zone. And, yeah, there's the "Stop Pokemon from Moving" thing, but you have to click it every single time you refresh, and meanwhile you've gone and missed a shot at something because your computer froze for several seconds.



I am constantly amazed at the lengths people will go to over incredibly trivial things. "You gave me less than the maximum amount of maturity! I must now go through a disproportionate amount of trouble to make you pay!" Sad part is, I've met people like that in real life.



Really. How DARE this site reward people who put in more effort! *facepalm*

Posted by: Gambrinous Antiscian Jan 3 2011, 01:06 AM

I knew I forgot something.

lulz. 10k takes an hour, give or take a few minutes, if you really want to click a lot, and fast, in a day. Just because they can't do it doesn't mean it's time-consuming for those of us that can find the time to pull it off with the utmost ease. XP

Posted by: ShatteredGlass Jan 3 2011, 03:13 AM

This. Especially in the Dream World, since when I go there to look for any new eggs, I tend to hit that key faster so I'll hit the restock right when it starts. Sometimes I would press it and the second after I would see a mystery egg, making me mad.

And regarding the "mass-clickers have no life" thing, that's just a far-off accusation. I only mass-click tons when I don't have to go anywhere or have nothing to do. I go to college and despite spending a lot of time on here, I also take time to study for exams, do homework, or work on a paper, and I have to admit, my GPA is pretty decent for someone who's active on here, but that's another story.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 3 2011, 05:26 AM

Just remember, guys, that on the other end of the spectrum of people saying "Mass clickers have no lives" are people who are saying "Because you can't mass click you suck terribly." I've gotten the latter before, and it's not fun. It's not my fault my computer's a piece of crap and we can't afford a new one right now because Dad got really sick.


Also, another thing that makes me growl -- when a Pokemon I pick up from the Safari Zone for an achievement or to evolve later has PKRS, thus locking it into my party when I DON'T WANT IT THERE.

Posted by: Synn Jan 3 2011, 06:37 AM

This.
But this is also the reason I always keep Antidotes in my Inventory, I have 9 atm

Posted by: ShatteredGlass Jan 3 2011, 08:45 AM

And another thing: when I'm working on a feeding task in an exploration and it decides to be foggy for long periods of time. Uncontrollable yes, but annoying.

Posted by: Nyara Jan 3 2011, 08:54 AM

I learned this one the hard way- had an infected pokemon that I just wanted to get out of my party, and no antidotes to be seen.

Here's another- needing an item for an exploration, and having it not show up in the shop for several days. And it being nearly impossible to get in the BR, because everyone else is having the same problem.

Posted by: Eclipsed soul Jan 3 2011, 11:00 AM

Usually, I don't have much to complain about. I get frustrated at missing novelities, but the fact I usually obtain them in the end usually makes this just a rather minor annoyance.

However, I've been using my iPod touch for grabbing Pokémon from the shelter today. ((I've been refreshing the shelter as I mindless click on the computer)) My stupid fat fingers registered the wrong egg three times on the iPod...wasting 2/3 of my attempted grabs. The time I missed the future shupet earlier wasn't too bad, as the egg next to it was eevee and I'm grabbing them today. However, I really didn't want a yanma or tentacool earlier >_>

The only other things that are rather...minorly frustrating to me are...
- Waiting for an item I need from the shop for an exploration. ((Hello, Dusk Stone!))
- Majority of my clicking time is when I'm forced to use my laptop, and when I use that, my mobile broadband connection has been rather weak recently. Not able to do much those days I love you desktop computer <3

That's all I can think of, and the other things aren't even that annoying to me. Ahh well.

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 3 2011, 12:01 PM

I learned this the hard way. I'm not hoarding ALL my items. I have (at minimum) 10 battle items and 5 stones (I'll bump it up to 10 at a later date) and also other items, just in case XD

Something that is a tad annoying for me is searching for your summon, but you see another or an egg you really want. I was so tempted to pick up a Heatran, but I passed it up to hunt for my Lugia. If I saw an unown...i'm not sure I would be able to resist XD

Posted by: Zion Crayson Jan 3 2011, 12:25 PM

You know what's currently grinding my gears? My horrible luck with shinies. Right now, I'm trying to find a Shiny Male Pichu, though I'm thinking of giving up today, as I've already hatched 292 eggs and not one of them was shiny. During that time, I DID find a shiny, but it was a Manaphy. Also, my previous breeding couple bred a shiny...FOR SOMEONE ELSE!

I think once I reach 300 hatched eggs, I'm going to give up. Sorry, Mimi. No partner for you...

P.S: I also hate how people are somehow able to get multiple shinies in a row. It just accentuates my Negative Luck even more. Why can't I have good fortune like those guys?

Posted by: intu Jan 3 2011, 02:00 PM

sorry for late reply but

yes if i summoned it..

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 3 2011, 03:05 PM

I hope and pray for a shiny hunt under 300. Shinx and Eevee are ones I've been hunting since I've joined. I did get one shiny Eevee, but I want more - particularly one female, because I desperately want a shiny female Flareon with a first gen sprite in honor of my fluffy gray kitty whose name means "Little Fire". I've hatched 888. 300 is the point where it starts getting really frustrating, though. :s Congrats on the shiny Manaphy, by the way. That's a really hard one to hunt.

As for shinies in a row... O, god, yes, this drives me nuts. Especially when I see that someone got a female Eevee. xD I just want rub their shinies all over my eggs for luck.

As for grabbing eggs you don't want... If I summon something, I try my hardest to grab it for the achievement whether I want it or not. I'll get that Raikou sooooon~

Posted by: Anatolia Jan 3 2011, 05:15 PM

the fact that this site doesn't seem to want to give me shinies.
i mean - i'll get one, but release the egg because i want a different one. x . x
i've only gotten one hatched, but i've released three.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 3 2011, 05:28 PM

Ouch, Anatolia. I'm sorry. This is why you should never release eggs... And why I so love to snatch up partially hatched ones. :s

Posted by: Drkangel Jan 3 2011, 05:33 PM

I hate when I'm breeding for shinies, and it just so happens that I pick the wrong egg, and someone else gets the shiny. I have YET to breed my own shiny.

Posted by: Sick Soul Jan 3 2011, 05:54 PM

Tis why i dont breed what im hunting. Its bad luck :U

Anyways. What grinds my gears is when my friends, continually pick up egg they KNOW im hunting, yet they have no real interst in the shiny form, and it hatches shiny.

Posted by: bluejay100 Jan 3 2011, 05:59 PM

I used to complain about one-clicking, but I really don't care anymore because a lot of people seem to be clicking incomplete parties due to cutoff on the online page (which I use to click). I like helping people out on explorations so i'll click Wild Pokemon only at times as well. If they click me back I'll appreciate it; if not...well, I'll never know. People who one-click me back could have several reasons behind it (ex. clicking only eggs).

I still don't see why people complain about long shiny hunts. I've had rather bad luck with shinies and you can't really expect that the odds will be in your favor every time. The only thing I'd be unhappy about hunts is if I bred a shiny of whatever I was hunting.

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 3 2011, 06:03 PM

You're going to hate me then ^.^'' I got 4 on the 1st while getting Creationist. Only 1 was a shiny I was actively hunting, the other 3 were just random eggs I grabbed >.> <.<

I also hate breeding what I'm hunting...missed two shinies that way >.> (got one though XD That made me happy)

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 3 2011, 06:03 PM

Yeah, I stopped breeding Eevee and Shinx because I don't want to see that I bred a shiny, especially a shiny female, and didn't get. After months and months and months of searching, I think I'd be heart broken to see it. :/ I know it's just a game, but after you put that much time into something, it's not as easy to let it go.

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 3 2011, 06:10 PM

I hate this too, but sadly.. I currently don't have the option of stopping breeding my shiny hunt pokemon.. since it's a fifth gen and I'm limited to 6 eggs from dw a day (ever since it was released, I've been taking as many of that pokemon as I can from dw, but had no luck ;-; ) I just want that shiny so bad, so I'll keep breeding, I guess :c

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 3 2011, 06:21 PM

I was doing that for awhile, Lacrymosa, but gave up for awhile. They were producing so many eggs that I was afraid they'd breed a shiny, and one of the three that got dropped into the shelter would be my shiny.

Posted by: Bluity Jan 3 2011, 07:07 PM

Am I the only one who likes breeding for their own shinies? I have a box of breeding pairs for future hunts. Of course there were a couple of times I've gotten the wrong daycare egg, and I might say "D'oh!" but its not the end of the world. Each egg has the same chance to be shiny; I could breed six shinies for other people but that won't mean the egg I got is guaranteed to be a dud. And if people weren't breeding their own shinies, then I wouldn't have gotten some of my shinies. So I say, spread the love.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 3 2011, 07:22 PM

I bred my own shiny Skitty and I was really happy about that. I just get worried when my daycare pair is producing 3 or 4 at a time while I'm hunting. I switch out and go to the shelter instead.

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 3 2011, 07:25 PM

Aww yeah, I change my breeding pair to a novelty couple on the days they would make more than two eggs, I'm afraid of losing a shiny on spammy egg days ;;

Posted by: bijoukaiba Jan 3 2011, 08:05 PM

Same... I actually bred two shinies during the Pichu hunt... and, of course, neither of them were mine.

While it doesn't exactly make me 'angry', it can be a little frustrating to miss a summon. I'm working on Master Summoner/I Am Legend/Dedicated part-time, so you can understand why it would be frustrating.

That's why I'm not going to try breeding Zangoose... after hatching close to 800 eggs, if I bred someone else's shiny... I'd probably go mad. ^^;

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 4 2011, 02:38 AM

You need patience. There have been people here who can go 1000 or more eggs in a hunt with no shiny. I can admit I've been very lucky and I've never had go to more than 268 eggs in a hunt with no shiny (it would probably be more but I have the hardest time finding Pachi eggs and I can't breed them right now due to other breeding). I'm sure my day will come though that a hunt takes me much longer.

Also if you hatch a lot, you're more likely to get a shiny. You're grabbing a lot of eggs so there's more of a chance you grabbed a good one. I hatched two shinies within an hour or less of each other (caterpie and wurmple) when I was doing Creationist.



Ok but why? For an achievement? For stats? Those things don't matter to everyone so someone may very well be just fine with letting it go and I wouldn't call that ridiculous.



I don't think it's bad luck at all. My couples have bred nine shinies and I've only gotten three (all of which I was actively hunting). Of the six I missed I was only hunting two of them, one because of the site wide hunt (which I finished with someone else's bred poke) and one because I had to hatch a bunch of them anyway (and I quit that as soon as I hatched the thirty I needed). There is only one I really wanted that I missed but I wasn't actively hunting that and I'm sure I'll get that some day.

I can't be the only one here that is happy when my pair breeds someone else a shiny.

Posted by: Kittun Jan 4 2011, 11:30 AM

I am THERE with you. X3 I got a bunch today. I missed a 100% Mudkip the other day though. If it'd been shiny... /scowl
What I REALLY hate is searching the shelter and hovering over every single egg and the LAST ONE I see is one I want or need. For examble, the new shuppet. Luckily I somehow got Misdreavus but I want the shuppet one so I'll have all 3. xD; The new novelties, I mean. I /hate/ missing eggs I haven't gotten before in the Dream World, too. v.v

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 4 2011, 12:26 PM

I love breeding shinies for other people. That usually means they'll be really loved and taken care of, so it makes me all happy fuzzy, even if it was a shiny I was searching for.



Yes, I love my pixels if they're special to me in some way or even if they aren't and I just like them that much, the same way someone might love their stuffed animals or something. Big woop, wanna fight about it?



As for long shiny hunt times, I've only done two successful hunts now, and both of them were under a hundred eggs -- Anubis, my shiny Charmander, and Courtney, my shiny Vulpix.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 4 2011, 01:07 PM

I was happy when I bred a shiny Mudkip... Though I didn't realize I'd bred it until months, months later. I don't really care for Mudkip, and the person who got it had taken the time to fully evolve it and such. I was disappointed when I'd bred the shiny Dratini when I was hunting for it, but I got my own shortly after, so then, I was just happy that I could help someone else end a 200+ egg shiny hunt for a rather high maturity egg.

@Kittun: Uuuurrrgh, that happened to me the other day when I was trying to get Past Misdreavus. That was the one I really, really wanted and I missed it. u.u I periodically release hatched Future Shuppets and Misdreavus...es?, though, so keep an eye out in the safari zone once in awhile, too. That's how I caught my second Drifloon - and I even had time to check my PC first to see what the gender of my first was before snatching it up.

Posted by: Jen Jan 5 2011, 05:27 PM

God freakin dang. Of course after I hatch a shiny celebi I find out there's people already going, "OMG IT MUST BE HACKED." Okay so by that logic ALL the shiny legends on this site are hacked. Jealous people are stupidly bitter that I just happened to be lucky. I did the exploration myself, and I got the same prize as EVERYBODY ELSE.

I mean heck, I didn't get anything from the raffle, so it would be great TO STOP THE ACCUSATIONS THAT THINGS ARE GETTING HACKED OR CHEATED FOR ME.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 5 2011, 06:25 PM

That's just as ridiculous as saying that Pokii fixed the first contest, or that the raffle was fixed. Mods, admins, and people close to the admins are capable of getting really lucky, too, even without outside help. >_>

Also, there seems to be a lot of shiny legendaries lately. I think it's time to do the Celebi exploration for a third time~

Posted by: Merops apiaster Jan 5 2011, 06:31 PM

Probably what annoys me the most are the people who don't click but hang out on the UOL for long periods of time, leeching off clicks. After that, people who believe they're entitled to get something and/or whine about not having any Legendaries a few days after joining. I mean, I joined back in spring 2009, when things were WAY more difficult to obtain, and I didn't complain. :|

I find that somewhat thrilling xD, but usually I venture there only when the Pokemon eggs in question are seriously lacking in the Shelter.
I do, however, sometimes also enjoy breeding shiny Pokemon for other people to see if I can get a shiny out of shiny parents. c:

Posted by: m o r p h e u s Jan 5 2011, 06:35 PM

When somebody hunts for a shiny pokemon, gets the pokemon, and puts it in their PC. Honestly, it's a shiny pokemon, at least level it to 100.

I bred a shiny Pidove and the owner just put it into their PC, he had like 7 shiny pokemon all at level 1...

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 5 2011, 06:39 PM

Agreed, all my shinies pokemon (all 8 of them XD) are level 100. All others will be as well ^.^

But another thing that really annoys me is when people put 'Click me OR ELSE!" in their status >.> If I wasn't just looking for interactions for an exploration, I wouldn't click them.

Posted by: Jen Jan 5 2011, 06:52 PM

I sometimes box shinies (mainly random ones), but I'll eventually level them up sometime when I'm not so actively shiny hunting something else or doing an exploration.

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 5 2011, 07:18 PM

I'd rather keep my shinies at lowest level and experience possible, what's so wrong with that? |:

Posted by: Eilzhaise Jan 5 2011, 08:03 PM

The lag monster. Enough said.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 5 2011, 08:10 PM

I don't always level my 100s up right away (Shiny Pokii never made it to level 100, despite being one of the first ones on the site, because I had planned on breeding it. Never happened, though.). Shiny Dragonair spend a little while in my box before making it all the way to 100 because I was working with other stuff. It didn't mean I was any less excited about her - it just meant I wasn't ready to level her yet.

Posted by: meeks Jan 5 2011, 08:18 PM

so today while i was massclicking i ran into a shiny female bellossom. and i looked at it and i was like this is exactly why i am hunting a shiny oddish! so i look further, at the hatched date and

the hatch date was yesterday

they werent even hunting for a shiny oddish ;_;

i mean congrats to them! it's great that they got a shiny oddish. but i cant help but feel a tinge of jealousy, and say to myself "that should have been miiiiiinnnneeeee"

edit: that reminds me, what is the odds of getting a shiny egg. i remember reading it once but i half forgot. is it something like 1 out of every 150 eggs or something? im sorry if this question is a no no

Posted by: Giraffe A Laugh Jan 5 2011, 08:33 PM

x3 Unless I'm trying for achievements of some sort/explorations all shiny pokemon I get are usually leveled manually in my party without using the walker. But other then that lately I just box them so I could level them later on. I do however name them all =3

Posted by: Nyara Jan 5 2011, 09:29 PM

Okay, so this isn't a huge thing, but over 300 people who've interacted with me today, and not even a third of them gave my Celebi the correct berry. I generally don't give a damn about proper berry interactions, but I do my best to give the right ones to exploration pokemon, so it kind of annoys me in this case.

Posted by: bluejay100 Jan 5 2011, 09:44 PM

What.

I don't see a big deal in having to level up special Pokemon. I have a few shinies and Unowns but I don't have them at level 100. And it would take forever to level up every single legendary I have at this point.

Posted by: Darth Krytie Jan 5 2011, 10:14 PM

This'll be a long list...lol.


kay...here I go.

1. People who PM me asking for things...to sell items, to drop pokemon, to give them items, to give their accounts stuff (which I can't even do.) I have items for a reason. I save them for a reason.

2. People who PM me instead of posting in the Help Section. Most of the time, it's about stuff I can't even do...like fixing their VS Seeker or stuff like that.

3. People who post in the Help Section without first reading the Help Page.

4. People who post asking why their Onix don't count/if they need two Murkrow instead of one/etc etc regarding explorations as it's been asked and answered more times than I've changed shirts in my lifetime.

5. People who use the terms fag/gay on the site, especially as a derogatory. It pisses me off. So much.

6. People who bitch about exploration requirements/things being hard/achievements/not getting stuff/wtfever...quit bitching, click moar, be patient.

7. People who complain about shiny hunts under 300 attempts. My longest hunt was 1,100. One thousand one hundred. Try that on for size, babes.

8. People who whine about things being too expensive. They're really not.

9. People who want this site to be more like another unnamed site. This site is this site.

10. People who assume mods=admin. We really aren't the same. We don't have the same capabilities, authority, etc. Hell, half the time, I'm just as surprised as you guys when stuff happens.

Posted by: bijoukaiba Jan 5 2011, 10:26 PM

Let me guess...

I can agree with you on number 1, 5, and 8.

And I can "almost agree" with you on number 7 - I'm at 800+ and counting.

Posted by: Dille Jan 5 2011, 10:51 PM

1) People asking me to trade Juggernaut for their Fossil Pokemon or their Rayquaza summon. No.

2) The fact that I need an item to level up Feebas now. >___> I was going to use the loads of Feebas I have in my PC boxes to go for the Darwinist achievement, but that's not going to happen now. Maybe I'll use Tangela.

Posted by: Painted Fox Jan 5 2011, 11:40 PM

1) The fact that they complain about accidentally releasing stuff, when there are 2 warnings about it!

2) 1 clicker haters, if you want to get clicked more, click more!

3) People who complain that the explorations are too hard, I mean if you pick the normal ones, you have forever to do them, and they are easy(except for the burning desire)

Posted by: TheEdgeOfForever Jan 6 2011, 01:34 AM

I hate it when you have to level up 2 fully evolved Pokemon to lvl 100 for an achievement (like Norman's badge with 2 Slakings). One of my goals is to have every Pokemon at level 100 in my PC and that doesn't help ;_;

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 6 2011, 02:23 AM

The fact I that something has made wooper eggs at least as extinct as pachirisu eggs have been for a while when they were everywhere before I started my hunt. :c

I used to do that a lot. I mean I'd click back try my best to get the whole list but I couldn't be as active as I wanted as my internet was awful so I could only open ten tabs at a time so I did it a little here and there while I was online doing other things (like being logged out of msn and not being able to load sites since it decided to disconnect) so I rarely ever got back to everyone back then but I guess it's not as bad since I tried.




I will eventually get all my shinies to 100 but I'm in no rush as long as they're at the form I want them to be at (gastly, mareep, and bulbasaur for example will stay unevolved no matter their level). Leaving something in a box doesn't mean the person isn't happy to have it, it just means their party and walker are being used for other things.




Not actively hunting it doesn't mean they didn't want it. My shiny hunt slots are being taken up by wooper, pachirisu, and the upcoming relicanth hunt but if I hatched a shiny oddish I would be ecstatic since bellossom is definitely on my shiny want list.




Just release it when you're done, that's what I did. There's a good chance you'll be helping someone else out with that badge.

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 6 2011, 06:02 AM

Well, I don't have a huge problem against it, people can keep them at level 1 if they want to and not bother me, just when people go 'OMG! I found this shiny I was looking for for months!" and then just dump it in their PC without even added 1 level to it when it just makes me shake my head (Unless they have a ton of other shinies, then I can kinda understand since it can take ages to level them up XD That and people can have less activity due to life and such)

Posted by: Merops apiaster Jan 6 2011, 07:49 AM

I was referring to people whom you see on the UOL all the time but who hardly, if ever, click back. There are those who ask to be clicked on another forum where I am, but when you go their profile they have, like, a few hundred to a few thousand interactions. Heck, we had this one guy who asked to be clicked, but said he would click back people who have clicked him AND added him to their PalPads. I mean, seriously... :|

I don't mind people who at least TRY to return the favour, since there was a time until the end of the last year when I was on a pretty unstable and unreliable connection, too.



I don't particularly care what people do with the shinies I've bred. I level all of mine, eventually, because I often get shinies in sprees of several in a short time frame (like, during the last two days I got 4), so I just can't level them all immediately, while also hatching eggs.

Posted by: Killer Zylos Wolf Jan 6 2011, 08:26 AM

Nothing really. The only things that annoy me are when I miss something, but that's more of my fault so I have no one to get mad and complain to but myself.

But even then it's more of a "What the?! Darn!!!!!!! WHY WORLD WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????" then I just go back doing whatever.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 6 2011, 10:21 AM

I do this with any Pokemon I intend to keep, simply because at the moment I'm doing Explorations/leveling up Pokemon to evolve/grabbing eggs I don't have for various Dex information. I do slowly level up Pokemon that are special to me, but since my attention is elsewhere, it's gonna take a while.

Posted by: Lucca Majere Jan 6 2011, 10:40 AM

If I got a shiny right now, even one I was hunting for...I dunno, I might not be able to level it up right away, because I'm working on achievements and getting more Dex entires. :\

I would probably keep it on the team until it was max happiness, though.

Posted by: Mizuiro no Yume Jan 6 2011, 11:37 AM

I'm starting to dislike when snows to the point I don't mind fog that much (because even if I'm in a exploration and certain pokemon needs a specific berry, not everyone will click the right one even if the berries aren't hidden so in the end it doesn't affect me that much. Snow, on the other hand, makes hatching eggs longer and longer and it gets tiresome to wait)

Also: I hate not finding eggs for my shiny hunt, especially as today I have yet to find a Meowth
If this continues like this, after the site wide shiny hunt I'll start breeding them myself.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 6 2011, 12:28 PM

I spent a lot of time on the UOL list yesterday and didn't click back until about 11 server time because I was busy with other stuff.... But everyone got clicked back, unless they clicked me after I closed the window.

@Mizuiro: Check the lab. Meowth are really common in there.

As for the shiny Bellossom... Just because they weren't hunting it or it wasn't in their shine recorder doesn't mean they didn't want it as a shiny. I wasn't hunting for shiny Happiny, but I was still really, really happy to get it because Chansey was on my wanted shinies list in my journal. Remember, we were all shiny hunting before the recorder was introduced, and we don't need to record it to chase the shiny.

Please excuse me if I'm hard to understand. Been sick, just woke up, can't think or type. =/

Posted by: meeks Jan 6 2011, 01:14 PM

oh no i understand that! and i am not resentful or anything just a lil jealous lmao. i am sorry if that came off the wrong way! ; ;

edit:

vv @jen: i do the same thing. on the 3x day we recently had i think i worked on 15 different shiny side quests. (none of which panned out for me!)

Posted by: Jen Jan 6 2011, 01:14 PM

To add on to that, I tend to hunt things on the side that I don't have in my shine recorder. I like keeping one spot open all the time just incase there's a site wide hunt, so i wouldn't have to cancel anything. When I was doing my trapinch and dratini hunts, I ended up getting 5 shinies on the side before getting the trapinch. lol

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 6 2011, 01:35 PM

@Meeks: Ah, okay, I can understand that, then. I get jealous every time I find a shiny female Eeveelution. xD Sorry if I came off as rude. As my lame disclaimer said (though it's still no excuse) my mind hasn't been working well lately.


Anyway, just remembered one that I really hate here. I despise when I misclick on a Wild Pokemon. Especially when I correctly click all the ones around it, then it's like, "O, a wild Pokemon - it's important I get the right berry... Wait, what the hell, really?" To all those I've misclicked - I'm sorry. ;_;

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 6 2011, 01:35 PM

Internet hiccuped. Sorry.

Posted by: Mizuiro no Yume Jan 6 2011, 01:46 PM

Mebukijika: I know, most of the Meowths I have hatched were form the lab. Still, there aren't that many there and rarely I manage to find more than three each our.

Posted by: Karst Jan 6 2011, 03:10 PM

I hate when people take eggs I want out of the shelter >=[

Posted by: Killer Zylos Wolf Jan 6 2011, 03:21 PM

Just thought of something else. I hate when the weather isn't how I want it to be. It's not that big of a deal until I need it to be a certain weather type to evolve something. Still waiting for Sandstorm for Darumanitan...I've had the thing for a while now too. But it's not all that bad since I don't really need the weather for much other then that.

Posted by: Kittun Jan 6 2011, 03:59 PM

Myself. >.> I keep giving up on explorations & shiny hunts after like... 1 task & 2 eggs hatched. XD I get so frustrated! I think it's because I don't like feeling... pressured to get things done in a certain period of time.

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 6 2011, 04:28 PM

Then maybe a normal exploration would be better than the special ones ^.^'' No time limit so no pressure. Or just your own shiny hunts instead of the shiny races. Took me just under a year to find my shiny barboach from on and off hunting (and no shine recorder at the start, of course XD ) I also don't shiny race...I hate competing because my competitiveness gets the better of me -__- always

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 6 2011, 04:45 PM

Yes, I do.

I'm just used to places where "Mod" meant you had the power to pretty much do everything in the game/site, including updates and stuff. I mean the people who do updates and stuff.

BB, specifically.

Posted by: Irregular Hunter Zero Jan 6 2011, 04:48 PM

I didn't say that just to make you angry. [if you goy angry at me, that is >__>]
Y'know, I don't see what's up with the Interactions Tab issue... maybe because I didn't really used it.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 6 2011, 04:57 PM

I'm angry at myself, not you. XD I keep forgetting that Mods on this site don't have as much power as I'm used to.

It's because it was far easier to use it, because all you had to do was click a link and BAM, all the Pokemon you needed to interact with popped up in tabs.

Really, this just means that I no longer click back or click my palpad, because it's a pain to actually get to it now.

Posted by: Superbob Jan 6 2011, 04:58 PM

That's what I'm doing :P

Posted by: Irregular Hunter Zero Jan 6 2011, 05:04 PM

Oh xD
Sorry for the awkward misunderstanding[?]

Hrm... I see. It's just that I click using Opera, and it was a pain to click back all the people back [yes, I am very lazy], but now that I can do that in the Users Online List, it's easier for me.

-ontopic-
Anyways... errr... I am thinking, but nothing comes to mind.
I was going to say when Pokemon don't bring items from the Underground. There was one time when a lot of my pokemon came back Empty Handed.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 6 2011, 05:15 PM

Which is why I don't OPPOSE the update -- some people get helped by it a lot. I just think there should be an option for people like me who it hurts to use the old interactions tab.

Also, ug, I HATE it when Pokemon come up empty handed. With how long it takes already and with how often they just bring random evolution/useless items, it's a pain in the arse.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 6 2011, 08:07 PM

Yeah, I'm starting to hate being at 24/25 summons. I reeeaaally want that Raikou, and it's irritating to see "Your Pokemon brought back a Heart Scale/Water Stone/Sun Stone/Something that isn't a nugget or a summoning item!" Ffff, time to RELEASE then. It shouldn't bother me, I know that. But it does anyway. ;_;

Posted by: Kittun Jan 6 2011, 08:16 PM

All the new updates... Can someone teach a blondie how to do click-backs? XD My PM box is open.

Another thing, eggs at 99% that stay that way for like... 2 ticks. xD

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 6 2011, 08:20 PM

I'm not as close as you (20/25) but as soon as I realized what the prize was I am unhappy every time something that can give me a summon item doesn't. Being so close to bringer of legends (12/13) doesn't help, especially since I don't know if I'm missing heatran or creselia. >_>

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 6 2011, 08:44 PM

Crap, I don't know which Pokemon I haven't summoned. Agh. I think... Dialga and... >_> I don't know.
I'm constantly checking the back room for them, and looking for treasure chests, and praying for a summon item from the Underground and it's getting a bit ridiculous. xD Not the time it's taking, but just my fixation on that particular achievement.

Posted by: Nyara Jan 6 2011, 09:46 PM

Weather-based evolutions. Actually, adding extra steps to evolution, period. (Winter Vulpix is the worst- Shiny Stone and wait five days and wait for snow. *facepalm*)

What the WHAT?! I...I got nothing...

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 6 2011, 09:58 PM

I only know because most of them I have either gotten or I used a specific item. The enigma stone I got from Consolation Prize failed so I don't know which of the two it is. Try looking at anything you've summoned yourself and still have, maybe you can figure it out.

And I don't think anyone would blame you for that, it is quite possibly the most rewarding achievement. :P I know I'm eagerly waiting getting my paws on an articuno.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 6 2011, 10:18 PM

Before I started going for Dedicated, I was abandoning everything I summoned after it hatched.
I'm pretty sure it's Dialga, Latias/Latios... Maybe Rayquaza? Or Palkia? I'm pretty sure I summoned at least one Lati@s, but I don't remember which. >< Boo. Meh, o well, I'm more concerned with summoning ANYTHING right now. ><

Posted by: Mi10tic Fan Jan 6 2011, 10:24 PM

1) That's... just crazy...

2) And waitaminute... since when Feebas needs an item to evolve? *goes off searching for one*

What ticks me off? Well... people who just make accounts here, adopt a few eggs and suddenly go inactive. Their eggs will never hatch, and the people who breed them will feel really bad about it (Like one of my bred Poochy eggs which was adopted on April 2 years ago...)

Posted by: Giraffe A Laugh Jan 6 2011, 11:01 PM

.-. ohmygawd this so much.
I hate not knowing if those unhatched eggs are shiny or not .-.
they're just sittin' there forever waiting to be hatched D;
IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN BAWWW

I guess what annoys me a little now; now that i actually started to notice it is when people put in their journals, usually after an update something along the lines of "OMG IM QUITTING U RUINED THE SITE FOR ME I HOPE YOU FUDGING(obviously we can replace that with firetruck) GO OUT OF BUSINESS BLAH BLAH BLAH." and all that crap.
The fact that they quit just because they don't like an update :/ idk...

Sure I don't like this update all that much, especially since I really liked how the old interactions paged looked like in our poketch. And obviously people are always free to voice their opinions, and luckily for us, gpx doesn't just OMG BAN people because they don't like an update >_>
But that REALLY isn't a reason for someone to outright cuss and fuss over something as little as that .-.

Posted by: Tobias Hayes Jan 7 2011, 12:20 PM

I almost did that once, a long time ago, when the update was something like if you didn't hatch your Pokemon within a few days for 5000+ eggs and a week for 20k+ eggs, it was forcibly dropped into the shelter.

It really pissed me off because, at the time, I had a very slow connection and it took me forever to click ANYONE because you had to manually open the party, click everything, then manually close it, which made clicking one party a clunky experience and not all that fun. And there were the times that I couldn't even get online at all, sometimes a few days in a row. This, of course, meant that this update would render the site almost literally unplayable for me, since almost everything I would ever grab that wasn't already a Pokemon would be taken away before I could do anything. So I dropped the Primal Dialga egg I had and left. But when I came back to check it again out of curiosity to see how others were reacting, they changed it, so I stayed on.

This update isn't nearly that bad, but it still makes a usually fun and simple process annoyingly clunky. :\ Oh well. BB's clearly not going to change it back no matter what, so there's not much use in complaining about it anymore. I'll get used to it, but I still won't like it.

I've never regretted dropping that Primal, though, because the guy who got it PM'd me all "OH MY GOD THANKYOUTHANKYOU YOU ARE THE MOST AWESOME PERSON IN THE WORLD THANK YOU. ;____;"

And this was way before you could corrupt to get it, so if I can just get my hands on a Dialga egg, I'll be good to go.

Posted by: Rizu Chan Jan 7 2011, 04:47 PM

The fact that I have been hunting for days the Lab and Egg Shelter for the damn egg of a Carvanha. It's the last egg I need (aside from the 28 Unownss DX) to completemy Egg'Dex. ;~;

Posted by: Rainwater Coyote Jan 7 2011, 06:21 PM

I get annoyed when I open a fresh crop of 200 pokemon and/or eggs to click on... only to notice that hey, my underground Pokemon has chosen that exact moment to return. I feel compelled to drop everything and do the underground shuffle right then so I don't lose 200 clicks toward potentially getting a new item. (I know the underground doesn't work on clicks per se, but still.)

Having an egg at 99% right after interactions are processed. I just want to go to bed, OK?!

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 7 2011, 06:30 PM

@Coyote: Gaah, ditto to both. >< "I don't want to go to bed with an egg at 90%... But I'm tired.. Okay, five more minutes. 98%?! Damn it. Five more... The hell, 99? >_>"

Also, I've probably given up thousands of interactions because I wanted to hatch my eggs or switch out the Underground Pokemon.

Posted by: Darth Krytie Jan 7 2011, 10:27 PM

That is why I stopped breeding my own shinies.

And, to the second, yes. So much word. Especially since within two weeks, it's already second nature and they forget about the old way.


As to the 99% thing...I agree. Same with proper berry tasks and you end up 159/160 at the end of the int updates.

Posted by: Sick Soul Jan 7 2011, 10:41 PM

They have been now, but they're choosing to appear sparingly in the dream world.

Posted by: LightYagami Jan 8 2011, 12:28 AM

According to the stats page, no one has any of the new eggs.. :/ Or maybe the page hasn't updated itself yet?

I myself haven't seen any new ones in the Dream World as of yet.

"Immediately after reset".. LIES!

Edit: they're out now ^^ Managed to fill up my entire party with mystery eggs This no longer "grinds my gears" XD

Edit 2: I found another thing that does

Having to wait another five minutes for the stupid EXP thing to calculate when I literally only need one more maturity point to hatch my egg.. = =

Edit 3: Yay~ They the experience thing updates faster ^^

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 8 2011, 12:44 AM

The fact that the buttons being pushed over slightly apparently makes me click poketch when I want users. I'll get used to it but for now FFFFFFFFF

That's odd, I've been seeing them a lot in the lab. In fact I have gotten sick of seeing carvanha eggs in the lab.




This is why I keep my poketch open in Firefox while clicking in Opera. I was sick of having issues like ready to hatch eggs and pokemon coming out of the underground with many tabs open.




My completion stats didn't update after the last batch either. It said I had 100% of the commons and 100% of the rares despite not getting a single egg from that batch. But then when the ghost novelties came out I had 101% novelties when I evolved my past mismagius (which has since been fixed), so they may just be behind.

Posted by: Doctor Octopus Jan 8 2011, 02:33 AM

Well, there's not really much that actually annoys/irritates/"grinds my gears" over this site per se... it's pretty much just pet peeves according to the various situations is all.

At the moment, my pet peeve of choice is the fact that the Dream World hasn't restocked with new batch eggs for a while. :/ I'm practically pleading with it in my head to restock so I can use my last grab and go to bed. (It's half past midnight here and I'm tired. I'll probably throw in the towel soon for tonight)

Other than that, the only thing that peeves me is how many shiny genderfails my hunts seem to take - Octillery took two before finding him, Hypno three, and I just hatched my first shiny genderfail Togepi (now Togekiss) today. Then again, it's due in part to my own stubborn and bull-headed-ness... I have names planned out for the shinies that I'm hunting, as well as genders, and my "pseudo-OCD" as I call it won't let me take the wrong gender as a substitute. :/
This proves to be problematic and "FFFF" inducing when I'm trying to shinyhunt something like a female Togepi.

When I spot a rare egg/pokemon in the shelter, only to find I have a full party xD It's entirely my fault, though, so I guess there's no use complaining!

I also don't like how you can't do shiny hunts for novelty pokemon, I'd really like to go after a shiny winter Ninetales, they're so pretty! I suppose I can just do it on my own, though :P

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 8 2011, 12:38 PM

That's how I've been doing it. It's silly though if the reasoning is that they don't want to have too many novelties around (that's what I read it was but I don't know how true that is) seeing as we can all just breed them and hunt them anyway (and most of us that want a shiny of one do).

Posted by: YunikoYokai Jan 8 2011, 04:00 PM

Oh tell me about it! I have 9 shinies...8 are female. The only reason my other one is male is because its one of those 85.5% male types (Zorua). I'm hunting a Burmy just now...but it has to be male in order for me to evolve into Mothum TT.TT Oh I bet it takes me a good 4 shinies before I get a shiny male Burmy.

Sort of hard to explain, but here goes...

When there's a common egg you're looking for that feels like you see every time in the Lab, but your party is full.

Then, when your party has an open slot or two, you go check the Lab but can't find it. :\

Posted by: Gambrinous Antiscian Jan 8 2011, 10:35 PM

Not one that really pisses me off, but it can be a bit of a pain:

Lab Unown grabs not giving me any new data. Though there's a small chance of a shiny, I'm after the missing data more than anything at this point in time. It wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have to wait an hour, but...

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 9 2011, 01:54 AM

When people read way too much into something you say until it offends them. I swear if I said something like, "O, that's a pretty ring" someone would pipe in with, "That's really insensitive to people without fingers."

UGH yes been there about the common eggs. Also, when someone ninjas you out of a common egg. Because that's just annoying. XD

Also also, when you grab an egg from the shelter to fill your party...then before leaving the page realizing there was a rare novelty egg hiding there and you missed it. ><

Posted by: Banette Jan 9 2011, 07:06 PM

I hate lags. Until BB changed the calculations, the site was always lagging for me and I couldn't even click back. And multiplier days/shiny hunts/events - forget about it!

I also despise people bitching about how many eggs they've hatched in their shiny hunts with no luck. Sadly, I used to do this, until I paid attention to other people's complaints of 500-1000 eggs, then I shut up and stayed thankful that I wasn't down on my luck that bad (now I could probably do that much and not give a crap). But I've spoken to some people before that hatched about as many eggs as I have and they either wouldn't stop complaining about how bad their luck was or they couldn't even try being happy for me because I got a shiny. Even I know how to type a meaningful "congrats" every once in a while... I even tried explaining that one was important and sentimental to me because I had got it on the anniversary of a friend's death and I was able to name it after her, and the person just blew me off and started bitching some more!

Waiting one or two hours until there's a big restock in the Dream World and then not finding any mistery eggs

When random people pm me asking questions that are found elsewhere. And when people complain about just about anything.

Posted by: Lacrymosa Jan 10 2011, 07:09 PM

Oh, I should also add the one thing which happens to me all the time.

Seeing one of my shiny hunt eggs in lab/shelter when I have full party, and hatching my eggs quickly only to see that they're taken. I usually miss them by one minute too ;;

Posted by: Irregular Hunter Zero Jan 10 2011, 10:49 PM

I know it's totally my fault and I'm more angry at myself than anything but the is TWICE now I released a subtle shiny because I didn't realize it was a shiny.

Posted by: Celestrina Jan 11 2011, 10:41 AM

Hypocrites. For example, when people get angry about their summoned legendary being "stolen". You had five minutes to get it, that is usually more than enough time. Can you honestly tell me that if you saw a legendary in the lab you wouldn't try to catch it? Once someone complained that two legendaries a friend abandoned for them were caught by the same person. They called that person a hoarder. You were going to catch them; does that make you a hoarder? If you don't like how the game is played, don't play it.

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 11 2011, 01:44 PM

I wouldn't instantly call the first people hypocrites. Maybe they really wouldn't take someone else's summon. I mean I do but I don't complain about others taking mine. Though I do find it annoying when people use a word like stolen when they miss something, either in the lab or in the shelter.

There is a reason I don't understand people doing breeding or drop requests. How is someone else that happens to be there at the time supposed to be for someone else even if they were nice enough to keep their paws off of things being dropped for others? And of course why it annoys me when someone asks me to do something like that. I've picked up plenty of legends and novelties from the shelter and safari though, I'm glad that I have yet to get that kind of pm. >_>

Posted by: Ruby Spritz Jan 11 2011, 04:07 PM

Other than what Little Alien Girl said about the chance that the people really wouldn't take eggs they didn't summon/ask for I totally agree.

No one likes getting ninja'd, but it's not the ninja's fault you were too slow to get your egg.

Posted by: Zero Gravity Jan 11 2011, 07:34 PM

Dream World, I'm somewhat annoyed how difficult it is to snag a Mamanbou egg

I also wish Zekrom was a little more available like Dialga or Palkia

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 11 2011, 07:56 PM

Gaaaah. Mamanbou was the last one I got, after being ninja'd out of I dunno how many. I suspect Reshiram and Zekrom may be made summonable, though.

I'm annoyed with my lack of foresight. Never, ever try to catch Pokerus if you don't have antidotes handy.

Posted by: bluejay100 Jan 11 2011, 08:10 PM

Honestly, I think that's just because many people don't have it either.

Now that I'm actually getting PokeRus, I'm starting to get annoyed at the times I get it. I never have Antidotes ready if I need to. When the last batch of Gen Vs were released I had a level 100 Miltank with PokeRus taking up a slot in my party for a day. And now my Meraruba has it I don't know if I'll be able to put it in my walker when I'm finished leveling up Monozu.

Posted by: TheEdgeOfForever Jan 11 2011, 09:44 PM

Not something big but it sort of annoys me that the Released Pokemon tab and the Daycare Offspring one only show the amount of Pokemon released/bred that are currently in the site. I'd love to know how many total Azurill I have released or stuff like that.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 11 2011, 10:15 PM

The excess of slang and faces and such these days that I have absolutely no idea what they mean... And then when they explain it, it's just like "wut. ...Why?" The more I see it, the more irritated I get. I'm only 22 (or will be in a few days anyway), but I'm already behind. I don't like it.

Posted by: pikminlover72 Jan 11 2011, 10:25 PM

I'm annoyed by the sudden death of the back room a few days ago. Up until then, the back room would be filled with items, with almost every type of fossil in there. Now you're lucky to find an evolution stone, as most of the time there is practically nothing there.

Posted by: Destry Jan 12 2011, 04:05 AM

One of the stranger things that annoys me is how people organize their party. I don't like clicking a party if it's umbled up, like mon-egg-mon-egg. I prefer it when they're all together, like egg-egg-mon-mon. I donno why. It's just easier to click that way, I guess? I click them regardless of party order, of course.

Posted by: Shadow Zoroark Jan 12 2011, 04:26 AM

Tyrouge fooling me into thinking it's a Ditto.

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 12 2011, 04:46 AM

This, so much this. I still look back there throughout the day and I rarely find anything any more. I shouldn't complain though, I did find a rainbow wing back there the other day. But the corruption orbs are all gone.

Posted by: DocWorth Jan 12 2011, 07:10 AM

* When people PM you begging you to drop/bred them something. Especially when they ask you to drop a Shiny. It's alright when it's a friend asking (none of them would ask for a shiny) but when complete strangers just PM you begging for you to drop a Shadow Lugia (or something) it gets annoying. Especially if you say no as nicely as you can and they PM back trying to make you feel bad about it.
* When someone randomly PMs you once being nice and then suddenly expects you to add them to your PalPad
* When people can't read a Help Page. It takes less effort to use the search option on the help page then it does to make a topic or PM someone
* When you hunt a pokemon and the eggs hardly ever appear. Then when you finally finish that hunt you see the egg all the time ಠ_ಠ
* When people accuse you of having no life just because you have more shinies/rare pokemon then them

Posted by: Scott Pilgrim Jan 12 2011, 07:38 AM

• When my Pokémon keep losing ALL THE TIME in the vs. seeker so I'm so goddamn afraid to put then anywhere else than training, because I hate losing money for it..
• All the errors
• When I ged ninja'd on novelty eggs :T

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 12 2011, 08:04 AM

You know what's worse? When it's everywhere before you start a hunt and then they become scarce shortly after you begin it. Then when you're done they're everywhere again. That happened to me with wooper. >_>

Luckily with the novelty ghost breeding that's being done this has not been an issue with shuppet yet.

Posted by: Rainwater Coyote Jan 12 2011, 08:44 AM

I know, seriously. I refresh the page whenever I go into the back room because I keep thinking it didn't load completely.



This could probably be its own thread, but I definitely agree with you. ^^; Like I need MORE reminders that I'm not a teenager anymore. Argh.

Posted by: Adam Flair Jan 12 2011, 09:56 AM

I get annoyed when a user adopts one of the eggs I breed and once the Pokemon hatches they shove it into their PC and never take it out again

Posted by: DarkPetal Jan 12 2011, 10:33 AM

I'm doing the Unown-exploration for the second time now, so I'm rather prepared for what's to come (I already have a
Poliwag in my party, and I"m looking for a Mystic Water), and right now, I'm at task 2. Not that hard of a task, except when you just spent nearly all of your points on evolution items to fill your dex So I successfully bought three out of four items, and after that I was broke, and still had to buy the fourth (and most expensive) item. FINALLY I have enough money to buy the item... Is it out of the store and backroom

Posted by: Galactic Anthem Jan 12 2011, 10:54 AM

At least, it being hatched lets you know it's not a shiny. On my offspring page, there are two eggs that I've been waiting for months for their owners to hatch. A Pichu obtained in July 2010 and a Vulpix obtained in November 2010. I want these things hatched darn it.

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 12 2011, 12:09 PM

You think that's bad? http://gpxplus.net/info/fmvUq sat unhatched for nearly a year until recently. I just realized they came back and hatched it the other day. ._.

Though the oldest unhatched offspring I have now is from July (an eevee). Everything else is a recent relicanth.

Posted by: TheEdgeOfForever Jan 12 2011, 12:23 PM

I have a Castform from August 6th that isn't even ready to hatch ;_;

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 12 2011, 12:53 PM

There are hundreds of different Pokemon and only six slots in a party. What do you expect people to do?

EDIT: Hah, I just realized I have an egg from August 2009, too.

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 12 2011, 01:01 PM

I have a Glameow and Eevee from August 2009.

Posted by: Ruby Spritz Jan 12 2011, 01:10 PM

Exactly. It's counterproductive to keep something you don't want/need leveled or its happiness increased in your party when it's just taking the space away from something you do or an egg that needs to hatch. I'm not sure why people complain about this.

I don't quite get why people are upset by unhatched potential shinies they bred, either. I mean, it's not like it's yours anymore anyway, and you don't get a reward for breeding a shiny Pokemon. It's not like people even have to adopt your eggs for your statistic counts to go up in the first place.

They only way that any of this affects the breeder is that their breeding count goes up which may improve your rank or count towards one of the breeding achievements you haven't obtained yet. Breeding only benefits you. Be happy.

Posted by: Lucca Majere Jan 12 2011, 01:41 PM

Yeah, I dunno why everyone is complaining so much about people putting things in boxes. Six spaces is not a whole lot. Just because something goes in a box doesn't mean the person doesn't appreciate having it! Maybe they plan to come back and raise it later, maybe not, but be happy they saw it as nice enough to keep it!

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 12 2011, 02:03 PM

I can only speak for myself but I have a couple reasons. The first is that I am curious as to whether or not it comes out shiny. Obviously I won't get it but I'm always happy when I breed a shiny. I mean I don't get anything for owning a shiny (other than the joy of the pretty pokemon and having something special) any more either now that I have all the shiny achievements, breeding a shiny to me is the second best thing to that.

The other reason is I don't like to see a lot of eggs when I got to my daycare. It looks nice and neat if the older pairs only have hatched pokemon.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 12 2011, 02:08 PM

I didn't even notice I've had eggs from that long ago in my breeding list until someone else mentioned it. xD The only one that annoys me is the WV egg, and that's more because they only have a few interactions. It irritates me that some brand new person will come on, take a sought-after egg, and leave, while there are active people who still want it.
I don't know how common WVs are now, but they were harder to find at the time. =P


As for boxing things, all my shinies are boxed right now except my Shiny Winter Mebukijika. I still think they're all really cool in some way or another. =P Just because they're boxed doesn't mean I hate them or forgot about them.

Posted by: Ruby Spritz Jan 12 2011, 03:51 PM

Okay I can understand that. I go all OCD myself when things aren't organized to my liking. xD



WV eggs are quite common now. It took me forever to get my first two, then I abandoned one because they were both the same gender and I wanted a breeding pair. While I was looking for my second, I saw one most times I looked in the Shelter. They weren't as common as Slime Slugma, but they were more abundant than other rare-ish Pokemon such as Porygon.

Also, I'm with you on the shiny-box thing. I like all my shines and I would never abandon them (with the exceptions of subtle shines I abandoned because I didn't realize they were shiny at the time. xD But my horrific observational skills are a whole different story...) I even took the time to level them all to 100, even the random ones I wasn't particularly trying for. The fact that I keep anything in a box not labeled "fail" or "drop" shows my appreciation for it.

Posted by: Mebukijika Jan 12 2011, 04:04 PM

It was months ago, shortly after I picked up my two... And it had taken me ages to find my two. xD I just can't see them in the shelter anymore, so I wasn't sure.

Posted by: TraverseTown Jan 12 2011, 04:38 PM

One of my pet peeves is that I feel 90% of everything being bred fits into these three categories:
1. Pokemon bred with Ditto
2. Two Pokemon of the same species/line being bred together
3. Two different species of Pokemon bred together for "Breeding Achievements" i.e Jynx/Mr.Mime & Seviper/Zangoose.

I love looking at heritage pages, and its getting boring.

This applies especially to Generation V Pokemon released recently, but to everyone else too.

Posted by: Erzsebet Bathory Jan 12 2011, 05:39 PM

And to novelties! Can't forget that.

Nowadays, I tend to just throw two things together that have the same egg group. I pick one Pokemon I actually want to breed, then do a PC search for compatible partners and pick one at random.

Posted by: Little Alien Girl Jan 12 2011, 05:45 PM

63/65

*several calculations later*

63/65

FFFFFFFFFFFFF

Actually any exploration task that makes you rely on luck or other people. If people didn't need to feed berries and I didn't need to find the exploration item I could have been done by now ._. I know it adds to the challenge (and I know the item will come tomorrow if I don't find it today) but it still frustrates me.

I used to do this until I realized breeding the same species was giving me better results. TraverseTown is right, it does look more interesting but honestly if I am trying for one specific thing and I want them to bond as fast as possible I generally go for two of the same species if I have them.

Though if two of my shiny hunts are in the same egg group I will often put them together instead.

I don't understand ditto breeding in most cases. I've only used them when I've felt like I had to. The last time I did Star Guided Journey I tossed solrock in with ditto because I needed to make sure I had a solrock egg when I came back from my nap. >_>

I guess that's another thing that bothers me. It's nice we can breed gendered things with non-gendered things unlike the games but genderlessxgenderless would be nice... even if it is asking much.

Posted by: Waiting For The End Jan 12 2011, 07:18 PM

Adding on to the unhatched egg thing, my first bred Mudkip, and first ever bred thing, is from August '09 and it still hasn't hatched. >.>

Posted by: TheEdgeOfForever Jan 12 2011, 08:15 PM

Breeding 2 shiny Rotomsand getting none of them.... Considering I've been hunting Rotom since August and I'm a little over 300 eggs its quite frustrating ;_;

Posted by: Seraphic Jan 12 2011, 11:26 PM

As for the unhatched eggs thing, I have a Togepi egg from July 21 '09 and a Remoraid egg from July 31 '09 that have been ready to hatch for about two years. There is another Remoraid egg from July 21 '09 that is only at 3,000 maturity. Gah this bothers my OCD so badly.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 13 2011, 12:22 AM

When you click something important in the lab like a legend or unown and nothing happens, so then you click it again and you get the "please wait for etc etc" message...and nothing happens.

*is currently staring at a Latias*

EDIT:

pfft...a few refreshes later is shows back up.

Posted by: Rannoch Jan 13 2011, 07:22 AM

What really grinds my gears is when I get shinies of pokemon that I'm not currently hunting for. I've gotten shiny machop, shiny gobitto, shiny anorith, and shiny pururiru while hunting shiny slakoth lol

Posted by: Lucca Majere Jan 13 2011, 04:22 PM

Well, dunno if this counts, but I get annoyed at myself when I accidentally click the wrong berry. =_= Usually because I'm clicking a bunch of eggs and then OH WHOA A POKEMON. Yeah. XD I try to click right berries but it does not always happen.

Posted by: Theophania Jan 13 2011, 06:20 PM

And that is why I switched to clicking pokemon and eggs separately. >_> I still sometimes click the wrong berry but it happens much less often now.

Posted by: Rainwater Coyote Jan 13 2011, 10:56 PM

When a Pokemon asks for a sweet berry and I click spicy or sour (or any other combination of these). Generally I don't make this mistake with dry or bitter berries, so I have to assume that my brain can't handle the fact that three berries start with S. (This doesn't happen THAT often, but it's enough that I feel pretty stupid.)
