I HATE THEM SO MUCH. ONE OF MY MAJORR GRIPES WITH GEN 6

It is my least favorite gen so far.... No questions asked. Not looking to start a flame war or anything. But yeah, region felt blah, story felt blah, music was blah (for the most part), the environment just didn't feel *right*... Like they tried to make it look realistic but failed miserably. Things are not proportionally sized inside a REALISTIC attempt at a game environment. I don't mind disproportional inside a less realistic looking game but man, it just felt so weird. And it just felt like everything dropped out of the sky, nothing made sense, or looked like it belonged. Just walk around in Lumiose City... It is supposed to be a mega city type of deal, right? But where are all the people? There are hardly any NPCs walking around in a HUGE city... It makes me feel uncomfortable lol.
But yeah sorry I went off on a tangent ._. Hopefully AS/OR make up for this generation lol.
By the way, listen to farfetchds cry...
Ugh. I so wish the old cries would come back T_T They won't and never will though. In the AS/OR trailer when it shows treecko, mudkip, and torchic, they all have that weird noise that gen 6 brought... hard to explain but it can be heard in every. Cry. Hate it.
A second apology for the off topic tangent. Sorry.
I don't like them.
I like the original ones because they were distinct, but the new ones sound so much more muddled, muted, and they all sound the same. I know that some cries have different pitches and speed but the same tune, but they still stood out and I don't get that anymore. It's awful.
I don't like them. For the most part you can hear the original cry in most of the new ones (if not all?) but its got like a new garbled scream in front of the original sound that makes it sound more like an actual animal cry, which is awkward imo
You two hit in on the head. Muted. Garbled scream. xD They should put in a HG/SS like item that is an addon to the Pokedex or something so you hear all the old cries. I actually really really liked rhidons screeching. Everything sounded unique, I don't care how realistic my game is. In fact, make it LESS realistic. The 3DS XL butchers any good graphics by having HORRIBLE PPI (Pixels per inch) it is the most pixellated screen I have seen. When things move on the screen, it almost looks laggy, and it has an aftershadow look to it, its really hard to explain xD I know I am being horribly pessimistic about everything right now, but these are like my 2 main gripes about nintendo stuff atm.
