    Red on the Gen II remakes was pretty darn hard. I had to trade over some of my better Pokemon from Diamond version to battle him. Took me two tries and a crazy amount of Pokemon reviving and health restoring.

    • Honestly, Sidney from the Hoenn Elite Four. I HATED him so much. That Shiftry... and Cacturne, not to mention I always picked Swampert. I got beaten by that guy so many times.
    The rest of the Elite Four in Hoenn? Champion? Pushovers. But Sidney... *shudder*
    Second has to be May when she's in front of the Lilycove Department store. I wanted to get in there so badly, but no matter what I did, my Pokemon always seemed drastically underlevelled for that battle. Took me so long to beat.

    • Rival as the champ in Red. I had an oddish left and he had a venasaur left and it took me an hour to beat him by using cut.

    • The hardest battle that I eventually won was Ghetsis in Black. It took me three attempts to do so, and it ended up in a 1-on-1 battle between us. It's also one of the few battles that I've physically felt exhausted after finishing it, which never normally happens with me in Pokemon games. Granted, I was probably a fair bit underlevelled (which also never usually happens) but still... it was hard, guys!

    • Pokemon Champion Gary/Blue in Pokemon Yellow, I can barely remember the fight as I was much younger, however that Arcanine proved to be a handful.

    I agree about may under the cycling road, the starter in that battle was always vicious.

    I remember battling my rival in firered when he was champion. On like my 15th try I beat him on a lucky critical hit after my Blastoise luckily held on at 3 HP.

    That Grovyle was such a pain, put the smack down on my Marshtomp, I didn't have a Taillow on my team... x/
    Combusken on my other runs through was trouble as well, Marshtomp however crumbles with any grass type move.

    • Tate and Liza of Hoenn was so hard. I was a begnning trainer at that point and had Blaziken and others between levels 20-25. I actually won because my Wobbufet used Destiny bond.

    Tate and Liza, it took me 3 days to beat them.
    But they're not just beyond annoying, they're far beyond annoying.
    In emerald that is. They were pretty easy in RS.

    • I think the hardest battles for me were both in the Hoenn Region:
    The Double Battle fight Tate and Liza was pretty hard, especially since i had Blaziken.
    But the hardest battle ever for me was Champion Steven and his Metagross...

    • I had difficulty with the champion of R/S/E. I'm talking about both champions, Steven in Ruby/Sapphire and Wallace in Emerald. My Pokémon weren't that very strong at that time. Steven's Metagross was hard to beat for sure, and I had trouble with Wallace because his Water-type Pokémon had Ice-type moves, and it would greatly damage Sceptile, my starter.

    Other than that, Tate and Liza was also a hard duo to beat, especially in Emerald since they had additional two Pokémon. I hate it when they use a Hyper Potion, and they have two of it!

    Tate and Liza take the cake.
    However in hacked games, Wood's Leafeon (Victory Fire version)
    Has nuts defense, holds a sitrus berry, is only second gym, leader has 5 super potions.
    I hated him so much.
