I hated how slow the game was. :P
Took way to long to get anywhere, even with a bike.
I also hated the Rocket Hideout. Too much spinning. :P
And catching a Nidoran♂ and raising it up in that one little patch of grass just to fight Brock was SO annoying in Yellow.

Yeah, I made it through the Rock Tunnel without Flash too. I was a stupid little kid who didn't talk to NPCs or read a lot of the text, so I had no idea that I needed to use Flash. I was on a plane for about 4 hours, and it actually took almost the whole flight to get through that place.

For me it was always Mount Moon (until I remembered Rocktunnel and getting through it w/out flash!) and definitely the super confusing Silph Co. Also, I hated how insanely hard it was to get through SEAFOAM ISLANDS.

Oh, and grinding a Caterpie to kill brock was a super annoying part!

Hahhaa... well
When I got to the first town and couldn't figure out how to get to the gym leader or get to the next town. I don't know why that was so hard

The part that most annoyed me is that I really wanted a Houndoom for the Elite Four, and then I realized that I couldn't get one until I beat the elite four. Also, none of my friends had gotten that far, so they couldn't trade me one. However, I ended up training an Arcanine that I really liked, and I ended up catching a Houndour and being very disappointed with my Houndoom's stats. :/

Battling a Bellsprout/Ekans with Wrap.... You can't land a freaking attack and it just does damage EVERY turn you try... only for them to let go and then have the first move to use Wrap AGAIN -_-

The two things that annoyed me were: Lt. Surge's Gym and the slowpoke/butterfree trainers.

Lt. Surge's gym was just stupidly long. I know I once spent a solid 5 minutes looking for that damned switch combo.

The trainer above Nugget Bridge had a Slowpoke that was a lot stronger than it needed to be imo. Same goes for the Butterfree trainer in between Saffron and Vermillion.

The fact that HM05 (Flash) wasn't where it should be, and thus I had to go through Rock Tunnel without any lighting. I'm actually still in there, trying to find a way out. -_-"

Lucky me. In my 100+ playthroughs of Red, Blue, and Yellow, I've memorized the path as well as every pokemon belonging to every trainer in the game, and every item

Cycling Road was quite annoying especially trying to track back up hill. Also if your Pokemon got a status effect such as poison or what not you would drain their health so fast. Another thing that was quite annoying was trying to catch legendary Pokemon with anything other then a master ball. This of course is the same in all Pokemon games but back then i remember stressing over which Pokemon to save the master ball on. Mewtwo, The legendary birds, or a few other harder to obtain Pokemon.

I absolutely couldn't stand the fact that you could only get Farfetch'd through trade. Because I like to level my Pokemon evenly and level them to the point where they destroy the gym leader I'm about to face and the stupid Farfetch'd would always start disobeying me. So annoying :I.

A few things bugged the hell outta me back in my Blue/Yellow days...

When you're in Victory Road, right? And you have to use strength to move the boulders into the correct spots..and every 2-3 steps a freaking Machop or Onix would appear...lawwwwwl and that was BEFORE N64 released Pokemon Stadium lmao! Go-go slow-mo gameboy, clunk..of..oldschool sweetness -.-

Another thing was with the Missingno trick.

My friend did the trick for me on my game, and almost half of my pokemon turned into Rhydon...like I needed another 50 of em in the game lmfao.

The fact that 80% of time you ran out of item space and had to get rid of some, and some useless HMs and Key Items wouldn't go away, just lovely

Yea, that was very frustrating indeed

... and finding out about HM Flash AFTER going through rock tunnel :/

Oh yeah, and the fact that you couldn't forget TM's, so you're stuck with Cut and Flash for the entire game
