What HG/SS gym leader do you HATE!
 
What gym leader do you hate the most?

I HATE Whitney!

Fever October 7th, 2010 7:16 PM

Falkner annoys me, so does chuck. Other than that i dont mind the others. They go alright.

PaxAmericana October 7th, 2010 7:18 PM

Whitney took me like 4 tries to beat!

PS: Stupid Miltank, Attract Spammer then Rollout Spammer

PlatinumDude October 7th, 2010 7:36 PM

Battle-wise, Whitney. I hated that Miltank. Appearance/personality-wise, Chuck. I don't see how sitting in a waterfall all day is good training.

I hate Whitney, stupid Miltank

La Denryu October 8th, 2010 5:00 AM

Clair. Nothing personal, it's just....that gym puzzle. Just...why.

Echidna October 8th, 2010 5:15 AM

I have to say i too hate whitney a lot, a lot more than anyone can imagine, she gave me a mental break cause she was the third gym leader i ever battled, cause silver was the first pokemon game i ever played, and she took me down like 500 times, sheesh.

Definitly Whitney. If you acctually train your Pokemon the legal way, Rollout can be annoying.

Prometheus October 8th, 2010 8:13 AM

Whitney, Curse her! So hard yet easy!

It depends how much time you want to spend raising the pokemon you have though.
You can do it the legal way, and still have great, strong pokemon to destroy Whitney with.
In my current run through of HG I had a Quilava, Golbat and Gyarados before I faced Whitney.
Those 3 all really weak against Rollout, but destroyed her nonetheless. :)

I really like Whitney as a gym leader, the gyms are supposed to get harder as you go along.
I noticed the original GSC days, Bugsy has gotten tougher too, albeit still hasn't evolved his pokemon.

Prometheus October 8th, 2010 12:08 PM

I used rock-smash but I still failed, Then my awesome Zeus (Ampharos) Used discharge (I think!)

Marowak10 October 8th, 2010 2:40 PM

Honestly, I hate Blaine, because he always beats me with overheat...Even a water type. -_-

Darksabre October 8th, 2010 3:22 PM

Pryce. Mainly because his Seel is really annoying. I dropped my DS right after I beat him, and it turned off :'(. Then I beat him again, and I dropped my DS AGAIN. So I had to beat him 3 times.

Zaroas October 8th, 2010 3:53 PM

Definently Clair. I started out with a Cydnaquil, and other than him I had a Poliwrath and a Jumpluff (Fire-Grass-Water core, duh). Kingdra completely wrecked my team because I didn't have a dragon attack or anything. I eventually had to get Sunny Day, teach it to Jumpluff, and spam Solarbeam with Typlhosion. It eventually worked, but it was a long and hard battle.

Whitney gave me no problems, though. I taught Fire Blast to my starter early on, and a level 25 Quilava with a Modest nature's Fire Blast OHKOed it. Yeah, I like grinding.

Kingdra can be a total pain if you don't have the right pokemon.
She's one of the reasons I went with training a Gyarados. Ice Fang/Thunderbolt destroyed her team. :)

BassFace October 8th, 2010 10:22 PM

Uggh... Morty. His Gengar's Shadow Ball made short work of my entire team. I can't remember exactly how I beat this guy in my last file, but I think it involved a couple of lucky hits...

Surprisingly, Whitney wasn't much trouble for me. I went into the battle with Quilava, Croconaw, Skiploom, and Sandshrew, the first of which was my starter and the only female on my team. And in this battle, the other three just sat and watched while Quilava handled the entire match by herself. Miltank, normally a major threat to a Fire-type Pokemon because of Rollout, was reduced to a minor threat at best thanks to Defense Curl and Smokescreen. And Attract was useless, eliminating another threat and leaving Miltank with only its Milk Drink as a means of annoyance. It didn't last long, though. :)

solarowl October 8th, 2010 10:28 PM

I guess Whitney because she was faster than my GROVYLE!! Well, thats only when battling her. I hated Clair's attitude. I just hate gym leaders with an attitude. :|

Late October 8th, 2010 11:33 PM

Whitney? I think she is too easy in HG/SS, she was much harder in G/S/C, in HG I have never seen her Miltank using Milk Drink, in Gold she used that every time she had low energy and I had to try again to kill it.

I think it's Chuck, I think I have never beaten him with first try. I always start with Cyndaquil and my Quilava isn't a good way to kill Poliwrath. And the main reason I'm having problems is that I have about 20-25 level Pokémon when he has 29 and 31 level Pokémon and only Pokémon that was faster than Primeape (I never had problems with Primeape in Gold) was Poliwag and Hypnosis doesn't work because of Vital Spirit. Primeape keeps using Double Team and I never hit it... Then again it's good that Poliwrath didn't have DynamicPunch, I got always confused...

Iceshadow3317 October 9th, 2010 3:32 AM

Whitney and Clair. Both took me like 5 trys each. I have always hated Whitney.

JessiexJackknife October 9th, 2010 6:51 AM

Prolly.... Pryce because of his gym, and Whitney because of her Miltank.

>:D


Wings Don't Cry October 9th, 2010 3:43 PM

I hated fighting Clair, since my team wasn't very balanced (Feraligatr, Alakazam and Crobat) so her Gyarados and Kingdra were kind of annoying. For her Dragonairs I just used Ice Punch.

That's the complete opposite for me, I didn't even know her Miltank could use Milk Drink until I played Soul Silver, she was too easy in Silver since Machop would totally own her up.

Palkia October 10th, 2010 1:09 AM

Whitney.

The battle was annoying, her Milktank is annoying, she i annoying overall and she's a crybaby. I think i justified it.

zoo3891 October 10th, 2010 6:48 AM

I hated Janine, her magnemite killed most of my pokemon right away then she had an unfair advantage with her steelix, that was until Togepi evolved and i got lucky on metronome (or whatever the random attack is called).

AAAA!!
Don't you have get it to level 30 to make it evolve to Ampharos? You must have done some serious Exp. Grinding.

Really though, I don't get how people have so much trouble with Whitney. Is it because everybody keeps trying to use Quilava on it or something? Sandslash can be recieved at Goldenrod, resists rollout, can learn Crush Claw to make milk-drinking futile after a while, and has some pretty good defense.

I can't say there were any Gym Leaders I had trouble with, but Pyrce was the hardest.

Itstoppedatumbreon October 10th, 2010 12:40 PM
