Frustrating Things in FR/LG
I just rembered how anoying the FR/LG Elite 4 was.
I decided to replay Fire Red because I had nothing else to do until I got my new laptop, and I finaly got to the E4 and past it yesterday night. It was seriously frustrating... Well, mainly Loreli and the Champion. My team consisted of a Pikachu, Charizard, Vaporeon, Pidgeot, Nidoking and a Primeape. They were all between the levels 54-41, and I spent an hour getting past Loreli... Not to mention draining the Rival's Starter Pokemon of Hydro Pump and his Alakazham. I forgot how difficult it was getting past that Lapras. Really annoying. So, here's my question: What things really frustrated you in FR/LG and why? |
Has to be Professors Oaks Intro :)
|
Yeah, the E4 is really difficult. Well, I had both FR and LG, so I had all 3 starters xD. But anyways, it was waaay too difficult for my, well, underleveled pokemon. I never had a wish to train. My pokemon were all at lvl 55 max. And that is only for the 3 starters. Others were weak like lvl 25 executor and eevee and lvl 9 pidgey.

Rock Tunnel. It's not that the Pokemon there are tough, it's that there's so many of them (even if you use Repel, there's still a load of trainers) and that drains your PP of moves in a hurry. I had to leave to head back to the Pokemon Center at least twice because I ran out of my best moves.
Also the shoving boulders puzzle in Victory Road. That's been a pain and a half since the RBY days. |
The battles were more slowest,in ru/sa the battles are more fastest than FR/LG.
The same thing happen in diamond/pearl,and platinum battles are more fastest than diamond/pealr |

Rock tunnel is the hardest most annoying cave a pokemon game has ever made me walk through. Its way to early in the game. I only have 2 or 3 of my main pokemon by that point. |
I still think that the Pokemon League was the hardest part of FireRed/LeafGreen. Well, the rematches are. I mean, did each Elite 4 member gave steroid to their Pokemons since the last time I've battled them?!
Besides that, I thought catching Mewtwo was hard, especially when I chose not to use my Master Ball. |
the thing that bugged me most is that a trainer can see you all the way from the other side of the screen.

Drakkhen SNES If you have ever played it, then you should know there is no need to ask why its so frustrating.
|
uhhhh.....well....
Rock Tunnel.too confusing.hate caves,at least Sinnoh's simple Victory Road.too complicated. Although, Hoenn's is the worst. Mt Ember +Rock Smash and Waterfall.Do we need the flippin things?really?5 Hms is brilliant |
The E4... On all of my playthroughs I've never been able to beat it (I lose will over time). I actually got the farthest in it during a joke runthrough; I overtrained a Charizard to epic proportions (say, Lv. 70) while keeping everything underleveled at Lv. 30 (more or less); somehow I got up to the Champion, but died to his Blastoise. I was mildly surprised and not-so-mildly annoyed.
|
The most fustrating thing in my firered (in real cartridge) I used a masterball for LAVITAR. I dunno why but I used it.
The rematch of the league was easy though (since I got 5 Lv100s in my party :P) |
Most annoying thing?
They took away MissingNo, No more dupating master balls... |
The different font colors drove me insane. Also, "GEODUDE used ROCK THROW!", and having to walk inside of the buildings. But those are in every game, so I guess that doesn't count.

Once before I forgot to get the moon Stone in Mount. Moon :( (I had a Nidorino for quite a long time)

Rock tunnel is a nightmare.

idk
I remember the originals being alot harder..and I did kinda beat the Elite 4 in one go (all pokemon lv 48-49) maybe it's just me..but I found the Sevii Islands to be alot more frusterating just because of the multitude of things to do in such a small area... Quote:

I beat the E4 with a level 54 Charizard, a level 53 Raichu and a level 53 Hitmonlee. No grinding necessary. |
I thought the Elite Four was gonna drive me insane, and I'm talking about the second time you fight them! I remember the first time I made all the way to the Champion, only to be pwned by Tyranitar.
|
E4 the second time through (The Sevii Islands give you experience, but not enough...). It was hard enough the first time, but then they just HAD to gain 10 levels on ya!
|
Definatly Loreli's pokemon! I can only kill Jynx easly, the rest are a pain to KO DX

Seriously now, the most frustrating thing is that you can't have 2nd or 3rd Generation Pokémon before beating Elite Four. It's annoying, it's stupid and senseless. Other frustrating things should be: you should get the Running Shoes earlier, and i don't like that Battle Tower, the foes' names should be related to those in GSC Kanto, i'd like to Dive in Seafoam Islands or climb a Waterfall to get new items, something like that I think this is it. |
I hate that theres only one moon stone in Mt Moon. I wanted to do a Nidoking & Nidoqueen run but I'll have to wait until the Rocket Arcade to evolve one of them. =(

Actually there's anoher moon stone there. It's hidden under the red mark. And it is still there in FRLG. And you can catch Clefairies too. |
