I am well aware of the fact that Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are both very old games, but there are several problems with both of them that I am going to list here; most of which not being present in the previous generation.

 

-The fact that one second passes between the moment a Pokémon is attacked and the moment that its health is shown to decrease.

-The unbearably slow surfing.

-The fact that, in the pre-game, the only fire-type Pokémon that are available that are not Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape are Ponyta and Rapidash.

-The existence of Bidoof and Bibarel (the two most stupid-looking vermin Pokémon to date, regardless of the fact that Bibarel is regularly used as an "HM slave").

-The generally limited range of available Pokémon.

-The unnecessarily long animations for rain and hail that occur during battle.

-Becoming hopelessly lost in Wayward Cave (a problem that, if I remember correctly, I was placed in for an extremely long time).

Dude this is the exact problems you've stated about a previous Pokemon game you ranted about

While I do agree with you about some of the problems of Gen 4 especially the long animation

 

But you're repeating yourself twice

But do you honestly expect every gen to be identical to Gen 1???

What on earth do you mean? I do not even own any of the Generation I games, and I do not have a favourite generation, but those were very obvious (and annoying) problems.

I edited my post before you reply with"You're repeating yourself" and deleted that before you even post

 

So don't hold something I deleted against me.

one word: emulator.

 

Hold down space bar, and nothing is slow anymore. 

Rain rain go away, quit killing my Pokemon with hail today...

Acid rain!! (or was that Platinum?)

I think it was hail.

 

As I couldn't find acid rain in Platinum....unless I'm missing something

 

Speaking of hail,that snowy route can go f***k itself.....even your bike won't help you to overcome the slow walk of that route

Acid rain: a bug or glitch where one would enter with sandstorm, then rain or something along those lines. It would rain, but it would hurt you. Hence the name acid rain. (although it was probably sand storm still in effect but I forgot)

Mmmm,maybe because you were entering rain with a Pokemon that has Sandstream??

Actually I was wrong on the rain part, which I found ironic because it is named after all acid rain. Here's the info on how it works: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Acid_rain

 

Dang it was Platinum and HGSS. Eh still similar story and same game mechanics, besides the tutors, etc.

The only thing I noticed was the HP thing.
