In a pokemon game you are walking happily. All of a sudden you walk by another trainer and they demand a battle. Isn't that annoying.:bash: I hate when they just request battles like that, especially when you're in a rush
 
In some cases, there's nothing to do about it. But yeah, when you're in a hurry, it's annoying. More annoying than wild Pokes because you can't run from them.
 
...I hate when I get into a Trainer battle when my poor Pokes are about to faint. And I haven't been to the Pokemon Center since several towns back. And I don't have Fly yet.

...that's happened to me before, y'know.

If you're annoyed by other trainers' challenges, you've missed the whole point of the game.
 
I hate trainer battles in general if the trainer has more than one or two Pokémon. (6 MAGIKARP TRAINERS, I'M LOOKING AT YOU)
Especially if the trainer is being annoying and spamming Full Restores. (Directed at all those stupid Cooltrainers and Ace Trainers -_- I hate them so much)

If I run into wild pokemon when I don't want to I scream in rage.
That's why I always use Max Repels unless i'm hunting for something.
 
It only annoys me when they're all paralyzed and poisoned with no Pokemon center nearby, not enough berries, and no potions.

Or especially when the game is only a 1 day rental and you're trying to get through the game or to catch as many pokemon as you can for Pal Park before you return it x_x

That's gotta be really annoying

I like it when they come if you need training.
 
That usually happens to me with the rival. Especially when I haven't healed my Pokemon. But oh well, I always make sure I'm prepared in terms of items.

YES.gif

My favourites are Ace trainers, Drago Tamers, Firebreathers and Clowns. Back in R/S/E Gabby and Ty were my most favourite trainers to fight.

Yeah it is annoying, but the game is about 4 days overdue now.. I mean today is a public holiday, no-one wanted to go to the shop on the weekend.. so I had more time xD.
Trainers are good when you want training, only bad thing is when you've beat all of them and you get stuck somewhere say like Mauvile city and trying to beat the gym. The only thing you can train on is wild pokemon...

I think that
* trainer challenges are a part of the game and not in any way annoying. If they were, I'd be playing a game not meant for me.
* the person with six Magikarp, who seems to be in every game, is a fun recurring joke and thus should not be removed.
* we need MORE item-using opponents. Seriously, the current situation is that only few selected trainer classes use them, and thus the game is a lot easier. It'd bring a new level of challenge if they had a variety of Potions and Ethers to use. And maybe some could have Yellow, Red or Blue Flutes. We can use items, so should they.
* Rest and accuracy/evasion moves are also a part of the game, and not annoying in any way. You may use a similar strategy to the opponent (as I did in HG with Whitney's Miltank), and the game won't shout to you "LOL HAX THT IZ UNFAIR".

Just cause it's the point doesn't mean it can't be annoying. >_> I mean, really, when I'm trying to get to a certain point quickly because I have to do something IRL and I run into every facking trainer on the path (and every other step in tall grass is a wild pokémon battle), it gets really annoying.

And item spamming is on the stupid level of challenging. If they gave trainers actual good pokémon and used interesting strategies, now THAT would be a good kind of challenging. Unless they program the AIs to act smart with their items (IMO, after the third full restore, they should stop spamming it), giving them more items is stupid. Sure they can keep the joke 6 Magikarp trainer, but they all shouldn't be on that level of stupidity for teams.
 
I love to battle trainers. And I LOVE it when my jolteon gets to face the bird tamers? And ace trainers give my pokemon a lot of exp. In fact, I trained my metagross up to lv 100 facing ace trainers.
 
I agree that even if it's annoying, it IS the whole point on the game. But what really annoys me is trainers I usually miss (like, for example, Policemen who only attack at night), and then randomly, when I'm just strolling by not expecting anyone to attack me, start a battle. It makes me groan, 'cause I'm usually not ready, but oh well, a lil EXP doesn't hurt XD
