I have. Like when I find out about awesome features in the games, but no. They just had to take it out in the English version. (and based on what I heard, people in UK get even less features.)
 
Eh, I've had my moments. Especially in HGSS. But I'm over them now.
 
When I see all those Japan-only events. But that's all.

I don't think that's GameFreak's fault at all. I always thought that it was PUSA and others (whatever their company name is now) was the one responsible for not allowing events outside of Japan. I'm likely to be wrong though. :/
 
They really let me down in the fifth generation of pokemon games. First of all, no vs seeker. WTF!? the only place i have to train my pokemon is in nimbassa city in the stadiums. That's one thing they could improve on.
 
No, never. They are one of gaming`s best development studios and should never stop making games, imo.

Whoa! That's sayin' alot.

For me, I've never got mad at Game Freak for anything. But they have disappointed me a few times. Such as the lack of post E4 stuff. I liked Johto's and Sinnoh's post E4 stuff, so I'm hoping that they at least implement more stuff to do after the E4 in the possible third version game.
 
Not really. They consider what they do carefully, but you have to recognize that they're human. So I don't get mad at them when they fail (which happens with some regularity)
 
Not mad, more like extremely annoyed. :/ The female character's never wearing full pants AND always being less-dressed than the male hero. Pisses me off to no end. Wait, then that does make me mad. OTL Either way, I still wait for the day when the heroine is wearing (GASP) long sleeved shirt AND pants, while the hero goes sleeveless AND wears shorts.

Never gonna happen though. ._. Boys aren't eye candy like girls are after all.

I agree wholeheartedly! ...except for the men as eye candy part I don't want half naked men in Pokémon.

Fuuro and Kamitsure (no I haven't bothered to learn their English names, I don't even own the game) in Gen V are the embodiment of just how bad I think it's gotten. Their designs are nothing but eye candy for the male audience.

Fuuro seems to be missing her pants. Isn't she going to be riding around on birds most of the time? Last I checked, sitting on animals while wearing nothing but shot-shorts will likely result in, I dunno maybe...yeast infections. Kamitsure doesn't seem to be wearing a bra; unless that vest-thing is separate from the black part covering her boobs, in that case, she's basically walking around in in her lingerie with nothing but a vest on, a navel exposing vest if I may add. That makes perfect sense when you're surrounded by crackling electricity.

...Or maybe I'm just over-analyzing this. They're still running around half-naked, regardless.
 
I'm mad at them for countless reasons, but mainly their treatment of Grass-types.
 
I got mad when I saw Samurott. I love Dewott and Oshawott bu Samurott... No way. They ruined it.

I also got annoyed when there were no Eevee evolutions in gen V, and when Alomomola (still can't spell it) and Buffolant weren't Luvdisc and Tauros evos :/

There's probably some other stuff, but I can't remember it right now :p
 
Just the lack of special events in Australia. That bums me out.

Flareon still not having Flare Blitz is wierd though.
 
Yes, whenever they take out old features that had some sort of practical use or entertainment value:

- VS Seeker
- Shiny Legends
- Berry Growing
- Pokemon following you
- Battle Frontier
...

It's annoying because they didn't use to do this. The first generation needed a third version because it was so bugged. Now, the third versions serve as a way for them to put in two things:

1) Things they neglected to put in simply to make people want the third version (ie: Better plot, Battle Frontier)
2) Things they couldn't put in because 'they didn't have enough time'

The second one is especially ridiculous. If there's something important to put in the games that would make them much better, you should delay production, not intentionally leave them out. Yes, it can be annoying - but seriously, look at this: Super Smash Bros Brawl, Ocarina of Time, Pokemon Gold and Silver. All of these were delayed a bit because they still needed tweaking to make them great. It's better to have a great game come out late than to have a mediocre game come out on time.

That's what I like about Red and Green, and Gold and Silver. RG were made not for profit, but for art and fun. GF almost went bankrupt making them, but the staff perservered to get these games out. Gold and Silver were delayed for a while because the original wasn't good enough by the company's standards to be released.

Now, a lot of the games are being made for profit. They aren't thinking about art and what would resonate with the heart when they create the games - they're thinking about what has been proven time and time again to sell games. Masuda-san did not make the Unova region with the intention of creating a memorable region that everyone would remember - he just wanted a region that would be as linear as possible so younger kids would pick up and play the games.

People liked RG because it was a combination of things that everyone could relate to on some level - exploring, both fighting and taking care of something, and taking control of the monsters within and making them good. They weren't psychoanalyzing the target audience like they are now.
 
All the removed features in BW, both versions.

Also, the fact Plat had removed E-Mail.
 
I also hate Japan only events and removed features in B/W.
 
I'm pissed off at them for one thing: they've taken away our option to have us set our Pokémon to 100 on online fights.

The only time that has ever happened was with Pokémon Platinum, where the slot machines were made unusable due to recently passed EU laws. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, America lost the slot machines too. Aside from that, there have only been minor things in Platinum and HGSS (I think HGSS had it too) where the Japanese could get emails when Pokémon were traded; Platinum changed that to Wii Messages and...did HGSS do the same, or remove it altogether?

I've never got mad at them, but some things have irritated me a bit:

- Fire/Fighting starters. Okay, Blaziken was awesome. Infernape was a close, but whatever, can live with it...Emboar? AGAIN?
- Inability to transfer items from Gen IV to Gen V - makes VGC team making harder.
- All. The. Stuff. Japan. Gets. - Although, that's TPCi's fault xD GF could put out more English Wi-Fi events though.
- Pokémon Global Link. My stance on it still a "Good in theory, bad in practice" thing.
 
GenV. english Pokemon names.

Braviary WTF?! What was wrong with Wargle?

Zebstrika-hell I can't even say it without my tongue tying itself into a knot. Zebray would sound much more elegant.

And they should have listened to the fans and name the darn snake Smugleaf.
