What has annoyed you the most since playing HG/SS? This could be directly related to a feature on HG/SS or just since playing it.

For me, it would have to be that I planned out, then bred a Modest Horsea with the Swift Swim ability so I could use Rain Dance to boost it's speed and power of Surf. Oh, and I also EV-trained it for it's move-set.

When it finally evolved into a Kingdra, I checked it's ability, and it now has the Sniper ability. When planning it out at first, I didn't know that Seadra does not have the Swift Swim ability, even though Horsea and Kingdra do.

That really annoyed me, as I spent all that time and effort and got thwarted even with all that planning and care.

It still rocks, though, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. :D
 
Only being able to grow 4 berries at a time. I'm glad they made it portable, but only 4 annoys me.

This isn't HGSS exclusive. This can also happen in DPPt and I think RSEFrLg too.

For me, two words: Encounter Rate

At first I thought it was an awesome little detail they'd given the game for a slight touch of realism (or something) but damn is running through grass one of the most annoying things ever now. I sometimes take to walking just to reduce the goddamn number of times a Pidgey decides to show up

I know it's not HG/SS exclusive; that's why I cleverly worded the question to include "since playing HG/SS," not just HG/SS exclusive annoyances.
 
Let's see:
-Headbutting trees (most of the time, a Pokemon doesn't show up)
-Trying to cram HMs into my current team (I'm against HM slaves)
-Whitney's Miltank
-The fact that my team is a bit overleveled compared to the wild Pokemon and in-game trainers' Pokemon

More to come.
 
The Kimono girls. They weren't THAT hard compared to Clair IMO, but last night when I reached this stage, I got to the last one (Vaporeon), with my last conscious Pokémon, Quagsire (no revives left).

Stupidly, I got him to use surf to finish it off - of course, that just revitalised it (luckily, Vaporeon did the same thing at the same time!). Vaporeon was burned (from an earlier Pokémon in my team), and was down to a very small amount of red from my last attack. I went to finish it off, though Vaperon got a move in first that wouldn't normally do much damage, but it was a CH and my damn Quagsire fainted! Argh!! Even if I'd missed with my next hit, the burn would've finished it off. So, I had to face the Kimono's all over again...

Less to do with game elements though - my own stupid fault for using surf!
 
The main character's new design totally sucks.

Original:

(Click for Crystal version)

Remake:

Easily the biggest disappointment.
 
Going on what the above post said...

Silver new design makes him look like a ~pretty boy~, I mean, he doesn't look too bad, but I preferred him when he looked like a play-ground bully. :C
 
I'm fine with a lot of the stuff. I suppose Proton's name and Whitney's Miltank are the biggest offenders. I was also hoping for more johto aimed teams, but oh well.

Oh god I have to agree, it's so annoying that there aren't many high-levelled wild Pokémon.

I had been fine whit it if it was only for Johto, but in Kanto, after the league is beaten they are just at even lower levels, and why does it have to decrease when we get closer to Pallet? I know it's supposed to be like gen 1/FRLG, and that is was like this in the originals, but it's just silly.
 
The weird localization changes. :/ All the TR Exec names, the Tin Tower not being the Tin Tower anymore, the ItemFinder suddenly being called the Dowsing MCHN (I know it's a literal translation, but if they're going to translate it one way, stick with it!), various other things. This include the game corner wannabe game, Voltorb Flip. Also, the injection of memes that the target audience won't get anyways annoys me to no end.

Though the girl names to some male trainers is amusing, it kind of confuses me, though not to the point of it being annoying. xD
 
The constant ring of the phone. I don't remember it ringing this much in the originals.
 
lack of pokeradar
how am i gonna get shineys now?
 
I love Gold...no, eheh, Ethan's new design, as well as Silver's! Sure, Ethan was cuter when he was chunky like in Sugimori's old style, and Silver used to look badass, but these new designs, are really great! Ethan looks quite adorable now, and Silver is now a badass-bishonen. |D No complaints from me.

One thing that DOES bug me on the redesign front, though...Sabrina. D: I thought I was all right with it when I saw the art, but seeing Sabrina in-game...I was like "omfg what the hell did they do to you D8".

Also, the Rocket Executives suddenly being four, and having names. Seems unnecessary to me, but then again I never liked Team Rocket much.

Plus Lance is still a hack. D8 Would it really be so hard to give him a properly-leveled Dragonite?

And battling the FRLG hero. No nifty VS battle sprite for him? Wasted good potential sprite for ugly "nostalgic" battle pixel circle thing. ._. Nice move, GF, it's not like he's the offspring of the most beloved Pokemon trainer ever.

Phone calls. I both love this and am annoyed at this feature at the same time. Dammit, I don't CARE about your stupid Rattata, or your father, or what kind of day you had! Battle me when I say to battle me! Other then that, they are nifty and cute distractions.

I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it! Here, now, I'm sure they just evolved earlier due to sudden exposure to TR's early-evolution radio waves - it worked to make another pseudo-Dragon evolution occur earlier than normally possible. I mean, where do you meet him first? The Lake of Rage - where there are rampaging Gyaradoses of unnaturally low levels!

See? You can come up with a semi-logical explanation for anything if you put your mind to it. :)
