I got lost in every cave but I didn't mind that.

I just minded when I'd bump into that damn Moltres in Victory Road all the time.
EVERY TIME I SAW HIM I COULD SWEAR HE WAS TAUNTING ME FOR MY FAILURE.

"Wha-? Moltres? Didn't I just see you?"

"Phww, go back to ZUBATville or GEODUDEland, N00B! HAHAHAA!"

The Pokemon with the move that can damage you over time without giving you a chance to attack, such as Wrap, Bind, and Fire Spin.

Example: Enemy Ekans used Wrap!
Enemy Ekans's attack continues!
Enemy Ekans's attack continues!
and so on....

Seriously! Who ever uses those moves in Gen 1 are dirty fighters.

Caves. Every goddamn cave or tunnel or what have you. Getting lost combined with a stupid zubat popping up every time, it was a nightmare.

The caves were extremely annoying to me. I still get lost in Gen IV caves, and this was Gen I, where the horribad graphics sort of overruled the HM Flash. Other than that, Koga was way overpowered for the Gym Leader and it required excess grinding, to gain a victory against him.

Well... tbh when I was four and playing these games, I kinda couldn't figure out that the carpets were how to leave your house. >:< So I guess that was annoying for the first week or so when I kept playing with things inside my house and I couldn't leave. :(

Also really annoying like other people said were Surfing (TENTACOOLS, TENTACOOLS EVERYWHERE) and Surge's Gym and Sabrina's Gym. I actually never ended up fighting Koga at the right time - I think I always ended up beating Sabrina first, so he was ridiculously easy. Either that or I was overtrained or something, idk lol.

The caves. Every time I took a step, BAM, there was a Zubat. And they kept coming and coming, I couldn't escape, they just kept coming. ToT
And the truck along the SS Anne. It annoyed me not knowing why it was there or what was it hiding. =/

Getting thru rock Tunnel WITH NO FLASH. Seriously bad move and filler for moveset. For only the few caves to use it, Flash was deemed useless and too out of the way to be worth my time.

Volume turned to ON, battleanimation ON, and Arbok used SCREECH.

Getting that fat Snorlax outta the way -.- I hate that part. As well as getting the people to let you through the gates and you had to get them tea or whatever.

The most annoying things for me were trying to figure out Silph Co and the Zubat popping up every other step in a cave. So ANNOYING!!!

The hardest parts for me as a kid was

Cinabar Manshion: never used repels as a kid. Actually never bought ANYTHING. Getting that sercret key was a pain in the arse.
Catching Ditto: Yes you read that correctly this little bugger wasted 24 of ULTRA BALLS AND MY 1 MASTER BALL!!! (I threw the master ball by accident when i was just pressing a to row ultra balls)
Rock Tunnel: I remember getting trough it for the first time after 2 hrs. Didn't use Flash. When I got out my Gameboy ran out of battery. Hadn't saved since from the begining of Rock Tunnel.
Victory Road: When I was a little kid I didn't know how to solve the first puzzle in victory road so I never made it to the Elite four. Even to this day...

Rock tunnel. Rock tunnel. Rock tunnel. I hated that place, what with Flash taking up a space in my Pokémons move set and then the stupid Zubats.
