What annoys in pokemon? I don't really like the name of grass type. Why grass? why not plant type. Grass is just one of thousands of plants and plant type would be a much better type name.
When you get calls from youngster Joey talking about his rattata and raticate and how great they are in G/S/C/HG/SS and that you can't delete phone numbers in HG/SS.

Can't buy coins in HG/SS
Tin Tower being changed to Bell tower just to create a lame pun

Tentacool and Tentacruel
People calling Adventures' Blue Green and Green Blue.

Double Team spam
Event pokemon. It's really annoying that you have to cheat or trade from someone who probably cheated to complete your pokedex.
Regional Dexes. Why not make all pokemon available from the start?
Rhypherior and Magnezone.
Cynthia casually standing by while Cyrus pounds you in the Distortion World.
Cynthia in general, actually
The capture rate in HG/SS. It really feels like they've significantly decreased the odds of capturing a number of wild Pokémon that really shouldn't be that hard to catch (why the fuck did I need multiple Great Balls to catch a paralyzed Stantler with 1 HP?).
EDIT: Also, the berry glitch in Generation III. I just recently discovered that it's affected my copy of Ruby. I know there's a way to fix it, but doesn't it require two Game Boy Advances or something? I've only got one.
• "Critical hit! It's not very effective..."
• My Pokemon being confused and hurting themselves constantly. My opponent's Pokemon being confused and not doing the very same.
• Joey
• Tentacool/Tenacruel
• Bidoof
• The method for growing berries in HGSS
In PokeSpecial, people who call Green female and Blue male. Japanese names take priority because they came first. Nuff said.
In shipping, people that hate all 'popular' ships for being popular. (See: Rebel cliche)
In video games, one hit kills. Not JUST in Pokemon, but everywhere. I'd like to see the extinction of the one hit kill. It's infinitely frustrating. Furthermore, lack of a hard mode.
In the anime, lack of depth or maturity.
In school, inability to mention without provoking a random bystander to flap their lips about it being 'childish' or something like that, joking or not.
On the internet/online play, playing for fun is dead'ish. Furthermore, people get way too upset when they feel like they've been denied their petty little competitive gameplay.
