Does Lance annoy you?
 
Lance, last of the Elite Four in RBY and Champion in GSC really gets on my nerves. His Dragonites are underleveled (possibly he taught them TM15 for their Hyper Beam) and his Rock-Sliding Aerodactyl, as well as his Barrier Dragonite. I just want to know if there's anyone else who he annoys.

I haven't played GSC in a long time, but I don't remember Lance giving me too much trouble. I remember being disappointed because his poke's were lower levels than they were in RBY.

Maybe I just got lucky with team choice.

Lance has never gave me any problems, in fact. All of the E4 have not given me any problems.

*~Frost Umbreon~* January 10th, 2009 7:57 PM

I had a team of lvl. 50s the second time, so all of the Elite Fours didn't give me too much trouble. Maybe it's also because of the 15 Hyper Potions I had. XP

EDIT: But if you have a team of under-level 50 Pokemon or just a few under 50, you're pretty much going to have a bunch of problems.

I beat the Elite 4 in Gold with none of my pokemon being a higher level than 43. They're really easy as long as you have the right team.

And I like Lance, especially in GSC. It's awesome how you fight alongside him, and his Dragonite hyper beams a person.

Lance was a major jerk. It had to Level my Typhlosion to level 64 before I could kill his whole team (besides Gyarados, whom I let my OWN Gyarados handle)

I always thought that Lance used a Gameshark or something for that under-leveled Dragonite. xD

Artemis January 16th, 2009 10:05 PM

Not any problems here at all...not even in the newer games either such as FR and LG...

Caelus January 16th, 2009 10:46 PM

Lance started out as a challenge but ended up being easy.
All you have to do is train a dragon and/or ice type and your all set (For the most part).
Once you have them you'll be able to trump each and everyone of his pokemons to ensure an easy victory!

I had a level 48 Dewgong, but she got KO'd.

By another Elite Four, I guess.

Ruphire January 17th, 2009 10:57 AM

The first time he did. But then once I knew his pokemon I figured up a solution and beat him.

Shinningkit January 17th, 2009 11:17 AM

Lance only annoyed me in Gold, but it might have been because I forgot to buy any potions and revives. XD My Typhlosion kicked butt, until the last Dragonite. And ironically enough, my Eevee finished it off. XD Oh, gosh, I luffed that thing.

And, no- my Eevee was not above the Dragonite's level. x3

Dominus Temporis January 17th, 2009 1:46 PM

Lance was moderately difficult first-gen wise (not too easy, not too tough), but the GSC Elite Four was way too easy. I beat it with a team of four. One of them never even saw battle throughout the whole set of five battles...

*~Frost Umbreon~* January 17th, 2009 1:56 PM

I'm going to battle the Elite Four sooner or later again, since I have another Crystal and it's going fine. :)

HEAT WAVE January 17th, 2009 4:03 PM

In the first gen, it was always tough to face him the first few times, and then to o on and face your rival after that. I was never annoyed, because I loved the challenge however, nowadays your luck enough to find a challenge in any of the games.

Plus Lance was always my fav. elite, and the only who came close to him was Drake.

AuraAshley January 17th, 2009 5:33 PM

lance only annoyed me in the 1st gen. not G/S/C he was easy in those games

Skip Shot January 17th, 2009 7:19 PM

Lance was incredibly easy in G/S/C. I destroyed his team with a lvl 50 Aipom, although Typhlosion (same level) had to help with Charizard lol. In FR/LG, he was not that great as well, being extremely weak to Nidoking and Rock Slide.

*~Frost Umbreon~* January 17th, 2009 7:28 PM

I beat him once again, with a Lapras, Typhlosion and Quagsire. It was fun. :D

Steven15 January 17th, 2009 8:14 PM

Lance pissed me off by killing my ONLY ice type pokemon in my party with one move.

Yeah really. I mean, He allways does that.

PokemonMichael January 18th, 2009 12:25 AM

in G/S/C hes easy.
or is that because of my lvl72 typhlosion?
he doesnt annoy me really tho

toybeast5000 January 19th, 2009 12:59 PM

he's kinda annoying how he keeps saying that he'll be better than you someday, and ...thats about it.

dc_united January 20th, 2009 5:18 AM

he annoyed the first time I battled him (long time ago...) with dragonite that knew thunder. But then I borrowed my cousin's lvl 80 Sneasel. He didn't give me anymore trouble after that.

.inLOVE January 20th, 2009 7:40 AM

Annoying is an understatement. He never gets off my back.
