Vermillion City Gym Trash Cans
Worst puzzle in all of pokemon, or worst puzzle in all of video gaming?
And I am almost sure that they tilt the odds away from you guessing the second switch correctly, because I guessed randomly ten times in a row and got it wrong every time. This happens literally every time I play Red or Blue. It takes me at least 10 minutes. And no, I am still not done with it. |
...You are aware that the second one is always next to the first one, right? I mean either directly above it or next to it.
Yeah, it's still pretty annoying. |
I didn't find it too bad. I'm usually quite lucky in just about everything, though, so...
|
It's annoying, yes, but I personally found the Fortree and Mossdeep gyms in RS to be difficult my first time through. But after playing all the games and knowing how they work, I guess Surge's will always give me the most trouble.
|
I vote worst puzzle in any video game I ever played. Then again, I'm usually unlucky.

No i like the puzzle gives me time to turn of the game for a while (cause pokemon games are SOOO addictive and i wont stop :D) then pick it up later.
|
I Can't Do The Puzzle Took me Like A Day Just to Get To The Gym Leader xD |
Meh, it's not that hard.
Over the years, I've become pretty proficient at solving it quickly. I walk between the trash cans so that I can check one, turn to the left/right, and check another (as opposed to moving one step, checking one, move, check, ect.). It seems faster to me, anyway. But yes, there have been some times that I've gone 8+ attempts without getting the second switch. |
It's odd, though, because sometimes the cans can be ones you've already checked.
Kind of annoying when you narrow it to two and the second isn't the right can. |
It is not a lot of difficulty, to fury to retry it is learned us the run to do.
|
I hate this puzzle. It took me forever when I was like seven.
|
Its the only gym that actually pisses me off. I'll narrow it down to two cans yet I always pick the wrong one. I'm so fortunate!

"Huh? What!?!?" *headdesk* |
Especially when it pulls that for the tenth time, after having been in the gym for an hour already. xD
|
They made this easier in Firered/Leafgreen :)
|
I liked it, actually. Then again, it wasn't much of a challenge for me.
|
I'm pretty sure the second switch can be found under a trash can that you've already checked, which makes it even more ridiculous.
Seriously who manages to go around and change the switches immediately after you check it. |
Never remind me of that again !!!
I stood SICK for 5 HOURS in fromnt of my GBA in FR to getpast that FRICKING puzzle !! DO not remind me again because it's driving me crazy whenI think of it !! |
Yes, Vermilion has probably the most annoying gym puzzle ever after Snowpoint, since it's actually the only one that requires luck (Snowpoint's doesn't but it always takes soo incredibly long, so i hate it even more)
I always seem to pick the wrong of the mostly 2 trashcans (the first switch seems to be pretty often in the corner) for like 10 times in a row... |
Wha? I seriously did that **** on my first try. There is a guy who says it's "right next to" the first garbage can. I took the word "right" literally, and I was on my way to sweeping Lt. Surge's entire team.
|
I look around till I get the first can, save, then reset until I get the right one.
|
I don't know how much time I spent searching trash cans when all of them just happened to be in the middle. Annoying puzzle because it doesn't take any strategy at all.
Thankfully, this is no problem with emulators. :> |
god i hated doing this. true it may be easy but its still hard because if you get it wrong you have to refind them. personally i hate this puzzle
|
It's not hard. It's just stupid.
