1st Gen What part annoyed you the most in R/B/Y?

Mt.Moon and those damn Zubats. The whole cave was full of them, plus they get in the way even more when you just want to find a Clefairy. Also Rock tunnel is just as bad.

Caves.I just hated all the caves in Yellow.

caves... zubats spams .. confuse ray o-o

For me it was the cave Pokemon. When I wanted to get out of the cave quickly, every two steps a Zubat or Geodude. It was quite annoying.

Rocket hideout and silph.co. Rocket hideout because I had to wait 1 hour for the spin thing to finish and it is confusing. But Silph.Co...WAS CONFUSING AS HELL!

Going through Rock Tunnel without flash. Sure it was my fault, but still they shouldn't allow anyone to go through that kind of pain and agony and have made it necessary to get flash in order to proceed

Going through Rock Tunnel without flash is sinch once you memorize the path.

Seafoam islands with no Escape Ropes was hell got stuck on B4F and B3F

Playing it nowadays.
The whole game hasn't aged well, only for nostalgia sakes.
It's so broken and quite frankly, not that good. ><

Brock's Gym in yellow. So hard if you didn't catch a Mankey (could you even catch Mankey on the route the the left of Viridian in Yellow?). It took me ages.

While I would say the Missingno glitch, which frightened me as a child to the point of me having something of aquaphobia for years after, I can't.

Because, in my old copy of Blue, I never got that far thanks to Safari Zone. I'm serious; little kid me was never able to get to the old guy's dentures because he got lost every time. And never had his Pokemon learn Strength. And by proxy, never got the HM for Surf.

Older me wishes little me had a strategy guide like he did for Pokemon Silver. >=(

EDIT: Also. Lieutenant Surge's Gym. Darn those trashcans. Little kid me didn't know the mechanics of how the puzzle worked, and took forever to get to Surge.

I hated the Cycling Road. Route 13, 14, and 15 are close

Brock's gym in Pokemon Yellow. I had to evolve Pikachu to level 25.

- Rock Tunnel
- The fact that there's only one Ghost line and one Dragon line
- Your EXP points aren't visible
- Most Pokemon have shallow movepools
- Gym Leaders/Elite Four members using Pokemon from the same family line and Pokemon that aren't associated with the type they specialize

I would say the most annoying thing to me was Rock Tunnel, Victory Road, and Lance at the end of the E4...took me almost a year to beat him and his many Dragonites.

I always thought Vermilion's Gym was pretty darn frustrating. I also had trouble with the Seafoam Islands, I never found the exit of the Islands so I travelled from Pallet Town to Cinnabar instead xD

Yeah I hear you, I have a hard time with Vermillion as well xD And I couldn't find my way out of Seafoam Islands either xD

Having to fight Brock on Yellow. I had to train a frikin' caterpie for ages :/

Same, until I realised as I grew up that all you need is a Mankey from Route 22! or a Nidoran that knows double kick.

the most annoying thing for me is still dem Zubats. and all the Voltorbs, Electrodes, Geodudes, Onyxes, Koffings and Weezings, etc that know explosion and selfdestruct. Seriously..

Peter of the Pokemon League, his Dragonites made me cry.

It didn't annoy me like being hard but it did annoy me as frustrating to see Blue have become the pokemon champion, even more amusing when you take his throne a few minutes after he earns it though xD

Lack of decent level up moves for a lot of Pokémon, hell for my most recent file of Blue, I had to abuse the Missingno. item glitch to get a bunch of copies of TM's so I could give my team decent moves. Also, the lack of being able to rematch trainers. It's hard beyond belief to get a whole team to Lv. 100 without abusing Rare Candies/glitches.

And Running Shoes would be nice, but, those weren't even thought up until two generations later. Technically you could say that about the rematching (I know Gold and Silver did have it, but it was a really inconvinent method).
