A few new GBA games, namely DKC...

[A Black Falcon]

Yes, between the really annoying random battles and the awful story, I saw no reason whatsoever to want to play that game...

I've grown to tolerate random battles more since playing Pokemon (it was years ago), but still find them annoying and, at best, only annoying... and the game better have really good other reasons for me to play, of which that game has none.

The fact I dislike random battles is why I still can't figure out exactly why I didn't mind them as much when I was playing Skies of Arcadia... unlike FF6, for example, where I quit after a few hours in irritation...
