I went against three more competitive players (2 losses 1 win) with my thunder team. Those losses could have gone differently though as in one I made a stupid choice and in the other a flinch prevented me from taking out one of his. XP The match I won was pretty cool as well though. :3
Is it me or do you think Delphox has the most irritating cry of any Pokemon ever released? It's not like Pokemon cries were ever melodious at all but the Delphox cry sounds like the shriek of a hysterical woman crying out in sheer terror.

Honestly, Delphox's cry sounds like it's saying wtf to me. It's pretty silly.
Well, yeah, some of the games had a way to listen to the Pokemon's cries but you weren't honestly expecting to hear something as good as "Ode to Joy" or "Beethoven's Ninth" coming out of tinny Game Boy speakers, now? I'd ask the question about what exactly does Delphox say but I don't want to reference that horrible, horrible Norwegian song again.
We finally get the Pikachu cry we heard in the series rather than some vague electric sound. Nintendo must have made sure we got that, as a treat to its fans who wanted to hear it. But other than that, the cries are really just a gimmick- why is he the only one able to enunciate his own name when no one else can, even in the cartoon all Pokemon were able to speak their own names.
Really nice that we get a Pokemon game with good music, considering how bad things were when we played the first few Pokemon games on the Game Boy Color, but the cries of the Pokemon are as annoying as all get out.
Lavender Town was creepy even for an 8-bit GBC game, but obviously the music has become better as the series has gone along. I could totally envision the street Dancers listening to the jazzy Castelia City BGM and Ecruteak City actually does sound like Kyoto.
I hope that in the next game, we get what we all want. Pokemon battles on motorcycles.
Oh yes, because "ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT!" would be a lot less annoying.
Which is why Repel was the best thing in the Pokemon world.

I wouldn't have said the music has become better as the games have gone on... but it's definitely changed. But... I personally think it's amazing how some composers can make music from an 8-bit game so enjoyable - the Johto(sp?) theme from GSC is one of my favourites.
I'm pretty glad that there's tracks from all gens that I have fallen in love with.
Repels are for losers.
When you're trying to get into a new area in the shortest amount of time, Repels are good. Gamers that have limited amounts of time to play and want to get the PCs quickly would find Repels convenient. Though I will admit, when you are backtracking for EV Points you don't need the Repels.
In a game that can save anywhere why would you need to do that?
Nuzlocke runs are different (though a lot go with a no repels rule)
Well, I view caves, ocean expanses, and large grassy areas as modules of the game and getting through them to see a new city is important in my eyes, which is why I don't want to be pestered by dozens of repetitive Pokemon asking for my Pokemon to knock them out or to be captured. We may not have checkpoints or save spots in Pokemon, but getting to a city is significant. And we all have to make it through the caves to beat the game, of course. I'm certain we all can relate to how annoying the endless Zubats and Tentacools were all those years ago in Red and Blue, and we still have to deal with repetition today. Now, when hunting for EV Points, we actually seek out Pokemon so we don't need Repels, then. But the first time we're just passing through and we might not necessarily be itching for a fight.
