mikey May 13th, 2011 8:22 AM

All the caves with countless Zubat and Geodudes.

SuperSaiyanII May 18th, 2011 4:01 PM

All of the gym leaders after Erika in yellow and the ridiculous amount of Zubat/Geodude/Tentacool you run into throughout the game.

Hybrid Trainer May 18th, 2011 4:12 PM

Victory road, not only was the place near impossible for me to get through at 4 years old but my god! That place must have been and breeding ground for ground type pokemon! if it wasn't a damned Onix smacking the crap out of my pokemon it was a damned Zubat!

JinRazielGames May 18th, 2011 4:55 PM

Two things
"A wild ZUBAT appeared!"
or
"Sorry, you need the [INSERT KANTO BADGE] to pass through"

My worst days...

Gonzo May 19th, 2011 12:24 AM

I hated using HMs, you had to go to menu, frustrating.

tkallab May 19th, 2011 5:53 AM

The fact that you can't see the power of attacks. Still have to look a lot up on serebii everytime.

Atomic Pirate May 22nd, 2011 4:55 PM

The part that most annoyed me is that I really wanted a Houndoom for the Elite Four, and then I realized that I couldn't get one until I beat the elite four. Also, none of my friends had gotten that far, so they couldn't trade me one. However, I ended up training an Arcanine that I really liked, and I ended up catching a Houndour and being very disappointed with my Houndoom's stats.

Seeds Horizon May 27th, 2011 7:16 PM

The first gym in Yellow. Yeah, Brocks gym.

I know its not a specific area.. I guess, and it only really pertains to one game, rather than a generation.. But oh well.

Yeah, anyone who has played Yellow knows this very well. I believe a nice portion of people in.. Whenever Yellow came out gave up on Pokemon because of this XD. Oh, so many adventures stopped before they could ever start.

I mean, you have to grossly over level Pikachu if you want to stand a chance, and even if you catch a Pidgey or Nidoran/Nidorino you still have a tough time getting through their defense with those measly attacks. The only chance you have is using Double Team 5 times in a row so you cant be touched, and then Quick Attacking for like 10 turns each to finally deal enough damage to take them down.. And you dont learn Quick Attack or Double Team until like Lv. 15, and its pretty much still not a gurantee youll win unless you level to 20,m easily 10 levels higher than Brocks Geodude and 8 than Onyx, and yet theres STILL a high possibilty of you dying D:...

Lol, sorry for my rant, just started an Electric UMC with Yellow as the Gen I representative XD.

Who agrees with me that this is most likely the most annoying part of any of the Pokemon games? :P

2Cool4Mewtwo May 27th, 2011 8:41 PM

Quite frankly, it was very inconvenient to come back to the RBY generation games after you've played such advanced and convenient games... like not having a select for key items, etc.

guga7wow May 28th, 2011 2:33 AM

The part that annoyed ne the most, was certainly the Rocket HQ due to all that spinning chaos -.-

OlaPola May 28th, 2011 12:30 PM

the randomness of how to get flash, the scientist is like in the middle of nowhere! Whats the deal with that? I went through rock cave without flash, it took hours, and lots of money on repels.

Second, the house on the island with the fire-gym. I can't remember being told where to find that key to the door, but I found it in pure frustration.

The safari-zone "quest", when you have no idea where to look for surf. And when you finally find the right house, your steps are up right in front of the door.

hahaiamchris May 29th, 2011 8:27 AM

Yellow
 
In Pokemon yellow, it would be the first gym, because the only starter is Pikachu.

I had that same problem. Then I learned I can go get a mankey and train it until it knows low kick, then Brock was easy :D

MMaester June 3rd, 2011 12:04 PM

I was little... and had NO clue how to get rid of the little trees... When I FINALLY found out to use cut, my Pokémon were already around level 40-50. Played the game with alot of ease from there...

Onix1995 June 11th, 2011 4:35 PM

Mt. Moon, Rock Tunnel and S.S. Anne. I hated the S.S. Anne with a passion. Also, i thought it was annoying how your rival turns up out of nowhere. After beating several trainers, you get ambushed by your rival. Also, how many Sailors and Gentlemen were on that cruise liner?

♠Dawn Rayne♠ June 11th, 2011 10:28 PM

Rock Tunnel for sure! And also as with any other Pokemon game.. Victory Road was a total migraine as well. Yeah, I am a proud cave hater. :D

champagnepapi June 12th, 2011 12:26 AM

The Caves, Rock Tunnel in particular, as Flash did little to nothing to facilitate spelunking, in the older generations. Wrap was also annoying in Gen I, due to the fact that it sometimes prevented your Pokemon from attacking.

Kip June 12th, 2011 3:46 AM

My most derpy moment in Pokémon ever - I didn't know you had to have Flash to get through Rock Tunnel, so I had to angle my GameBoy towards the sun all the time to see where I was going (because it was there faintly).

However, what really annoyed me most in Red was this particular sentence:

"Congratulations Sam! You're now the Pokémon League Champion!

... or you would have been, except you have one more challenge to face."

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

MatTres June 12th, 2011 7:02 PM

I think everyone agrees upon Rock Tunnel. XP

Besides that, I'd say the only thing I think the game could've improved on was the general flow. There are many moments where the player has to guess where to go and what to do, and many times younger children get stuck. (This is why I think most non-veterans refuse to play these games.)

A prime example would be the guards posted around Saffron City. The soda machines? Really?? Come on, guys.

Pokemon Game Fan June 16th, 2011 11:17 AM

Any tunnels/caves with Zubat/Golbat in em, besides the obvious Cerulean Cave with Mewtwo and Wobbuffet. :)
I also really hated the super complicated cave puzzles. One reason, the *countless* Zubats that attacked, second, they were freakin' impossible! Like, trying to figure out where to move what boulder and what path to take while a thousand Zubats attacked every second, probably worse than hell. -_-

It says R/B/Y, not FR/LG. Wobbuffet shouldn't be there.

And In R/B It was Rocktunnel
In Y ... it was brock >.<

Pokemon Game Fan June 16th, 2011 11:46 AM

Sorry, bad wording choice. I meant to say that the only cave I like is Cerulean Cave, not just in RBY, my mistake.

zoo3891 June 18th, 2011 11:11 AM

I was always distracted by Cerulean cave. When I was little I had thought that the Pokemon League was up there in that cave.

RHCPlover June 18th, 2011 1:05 PM

Either Rocket Hideout or Silph Co.
Ugh.

U.Flame June 18th, 2011 7:37 PM

I love the 1st gen, but I didn't like the way they described battles. "I'm going to make my Pokemon fight so it can get stronger!" I know why animal cruelty groups were suspicious. Now Pokemon battles are more friendly, sporty, and not against the Pokemon's will, but in the 1st gen, it just seemed cruel from the way they were talking about it.

Pokemon Game Fan June 20th, 2011 4:33 PM

Really? These animal-rights people make such a fuss over everything.

Lashh June 21st, 2011 10:47 AM

Always getting easily defeated by Brock when I first challenged him in Pokemon Yellow. Overall, the thing that annoyed me the most in this generation of games was the fact that Poke Balls could miss, and often would so in the Safari Zone. Lost opportunities on rare Pokemon sure so suck, I'll tell ya.
Another thing that annoyed me in RBY was going through the Sea Foam Islands for the first time- so confusing the first time around, haha.

TheNinKid June 21st, 2011 11:07 AM

I'm glad other people agree that they had trouble with Brock like i did in Yellow. I have to admit that was the most annoying part for me, but i thought it was just because i was young and it was my first ever Pokemon game.

fyrkant June 22nd, 2011 4:30 AM

Diglett's cave. I go "OH GOD NOT THIS AGAIN" every single time I reach that point... :-P

Distorted Personality June 22nd, 2011 5:26 AM

Waking up on time and not getting a pikachu.

Missing out on a Mew because I was too eager to battle pokemanz.

Hassan_Abdillah June 22nd, 2011 9:26 AM

The lack of a decent psychic pokemon.

Also, Sabrina's psychic gym. It always gets me confused. Same thing with team rocket buildings...teleporting tiles :/

I usually catch a nidoran early in the game if I can afford it, and it learns double kick pretty soon. And fighting pwns rock-type.

You mean that Alakazam, Starmie, Slowbro, Mew and Mewtwo were anything but decent in RBY?
As for mewtwo, you get it much later in the game.

As for mew, I don't know how to get it.

As for Alakazam...I play on emulator so trading is impossible.

Ive never tried Starmie or Slowbro. I looked up their stats now from pokemon marriland pokedex and turns out both of them have decent stats. Guess I kinda missed out.

And yeah, to me decent mean strong (offense-wise).

DiscoGlacier June 28th, 2011 6:05 PM

When I first played it, the boulder puzzle in Seafoam Island gave me the most trouble. I remember having to ask my brother's friend for help getting past that part.

Rock Tunnel was pretty hard without Flash, but still manageable with memorization, patience, and careful attention to graphics and sound.

Nowadays, the only part that really bothers me the the size of Mt. Moon. At least Rock Tunnel was narrow and linear, while the other dungeons had unique variations. Mt. Moon, on the other hand, had so much empty space, I'd have to fend off many wild Pokemon just to get from one wall to the other.

GXS June 29th, 2011 1:07 AM

any part where i had to use flash, it seemed sooo uneccecary to me, but thats just my opinion lol :P

Citizen51 July 2nd, 2011 12:09 PM

The thing I hated the most about R/B/Y was the item system and not being able to hold more than 20 items was ridiculous I can't tell you how many times I would be in a cave or rocket base and have to leave to go empty my backpack in the nearest pokemon center. Even when I replayed Red last week, I couldn't store enough items in my PC.

Another thing I hated about Gen 1 was how necessary a guide was just do know what a particular move or item did. Sure you could trial and error, but how do I know for sure that I want to delete an old move for this new one when I don't know what this new one is. And this was before wikis or even gamefaqs.com and the only source of this knowledge was printed guides, but even then they were riddled with errors. I owned 3 different guides for R/B and a fourth for Yellow, just so I could be sure what was right.

竜の子 July 2nd, 2011 1:12 PM

The ponly things I hater about RBY are

limited item capacibilty

and

pressing down on the mart would be 99 items and not how much of that item you could afford

But i still love the games ^^

Auditor July 3rd, 2011 7:51 AM

Re: What part annoyed you the most in R/B/Y?
 
I only got Yellow, but the most annoying part I think would be fighting Brock with a Pikachu :L It was so difficult, and the shows don't help me at all. Inshow: "PIKACHU, ATTACK THE WATERSPOUTERS!" Ingame: "Doesn't effect ONIX..."

Frisky Arcanine July 3rd, 2011 9:19 AM

So much hate for the Lavender theme, it was one of my favorites D:

I'm gonna have to say Victory Road - all those fricken encounters. And darkness. And worrying about finding/catching Moltres.. and the encounters. And the darkness. I still dread victory road in every game, but despite the ridiculous encounter rate in B/W it seemed watered down in comparison (no boulders!)

Exactly all of this!! Especially caves even now i still hate them although its woobat and boldore attcking now!!

Agreed. Rock Tunnel was actually the abomination that caused many of my friends to give up on RBY all those years ago...

The glitches also ruined the games for me during my youth. All my friends would claim whatever Pokémon their name gave them through the MissingNo. Glitch and abuse their instant-sweeper whenever we battled. -_-

Not joining in was a moment of pride I look back on to this day.

Eagledelt July 8th, 2011 6:00 AM

Damn, I hated Rock Tunnel and Silph Co. Horrible places >.<

sure25 July 8th, 2011 2:20 PM

Mine was the cave. That part was so annoying cause of Pokemon came out all of the time.

Alley Cat July 8th, 2011 3:46 PM

In Yellow, how you had to use Pikachu practically to defeat Brock, and his moves barely even affect the Rock/Ground. But I also disliked the layout of the Pokecenters greatly. Not to mention going through caves and how often pokemon appeared. I basically share the same frustrations as a lot of people who have already posted do.

terminoob July 8th, 2011 3:50 PM

Safari Zone, Sabrina in Yellow, the limited item space, Pokemon Mansion (due to limited item space, I didn't grab the Escape Rope in the beginning of it and I got utterly lost in it after I found the key since I kept dropping through the sides and didn't know what statues to touch... I think I ended up restarting the game), Mt. Moon having the most ridiculous amount of ladders ever, Rock Tunnel, and that "Your Pokeball missed the Pokemon!" crap.

WooperIsMyFave92 July 8th, 2011 9:31 PM

*Not being able to run
*The fight against Brock in yellow version

One moment I was particularly frustrated (with Pokemon Red):

A wild Caterpie appeared!
Go Pidgey!
Pidgey used gust!
*Thud* ( Caterpie hangs on with half it's Hp left)
Caterpie uses string shot!
.....
What!?!? It wasn't super effective!?!? -__-

were the type matchups different back then or something? lol.

Back in the day I had no internet, I busted my ass finding the solution for that building, later found out you can walk the stairs to fourth floor, get a teleport, get it back, cross the hall, kill a guy, get a teleport, you're at boss. Oh and the first time I got it right, Gary mopped the floor with me with his OP Pokémon for the time.

Lol I wish gust was flying type back then, it really should have been. Another thing that always annoyed me was the flatness of each town. It never bothered me as a kid, but I recently revisited my Pokemon Red after pretty much completing Pokemon DIamond and I keep trying to walk behind buildings only to end up walking into them lol. In some cases, it just doesn't make sense haha.

Sizes of certain objects compared to the character also annoyed me. The best example is the size of the S.S. Anne compared to the main player. I still don't like it in Leaf Green.

Cyndaquil312 July 10th, 2011 9:13 AM

As a kid, I would say trying to get to the secret house in the Safari Zone to get surf. I'd keep going the wrong way or get sidetracked after seeing a pokemon i wanted.

now, i'd have to say the simplicity of the routes and towns. rt. 7 is nothing more but a patch of grass, and some of the other routes have a minimal challenge to it.

I agree with WooperIsMyFav92 when it comes to the sizes of certain things (SS. Anne some of the buildings, etc.)

MantisboyN July 10th, 2011 4:27 PM

I'd say battling Brock and Misty, I always chose Charmander and hated using psychics, water, and grass types. They were very difficult for me.

RetardRaichu July 10th, 2011 5:43 PM

Come with Hypno, Come with Hypno, Come with Hypno, Little Child, Come to me, lots of fun you'll have- Wee! Come to me, Hypno will take care of you..
Obviously Lavender Town. Or Silph Co.
Imen4srslz, I actually thought I saw BA Model for half a second fighting Marowak.
Also one time I saw the Hypno cave in the exact same area it was in the pasta..
I burned the cartridge and removed the ROMs I had put on some websites without Pokemon Green. O_O God forbid..

Vandoom July 11th, 2011 10:29 PM

I think the most frustrating thing about the old games was when special was one stat on the r/b/y and when all type moves were all either special or pysical on g/s/c bringing in that into the new games is definately the biggest improvement

DowntownDumpling July 12th, 2011 3:55 AM

Pokemon Tower. I normally luve Gastlys *huggable* but that place keeps ruining them for me. Also, I don't like how the bottom floor of this is the one place in R/B/Y when people actually talk about mature issues. As a kid it really confused me: Do Pokemon die or not?

Also, Rock Tunnel.

VinceLevi July 14th, 2011 11:54 PM

Trollinnn, but you guys do know that by inverting the colors on the GBC, you could see without flash in dark places?
*BAM*
Childhood frustration pointless.

The Last One July 15th, 2011 2:19 PM

that there was no breeding, I didnt really ahve a problem with them because I only played Yellow, and Yellow was awsome cause u could get Pokachu as your starter, and then 3 random people give you Squirtle/Charmander/Bulbasaur.. but after playing Gold, etc etc, it frustrated me on hwo you could not breed =(

Yeah, breeding really could have been fun in RBY. But the whole charm of the trading aspect would have blown over a lot by it. Although the one thing that really bothers me now when I play the RBY games is not being able to evolve mons that require a trade to evolve. I don't own a working system for just RBY trading, so it seems I'll be stuck with my Haunter forever. Other than that, the requirement to pretty much get a fighting type at the beginning of Yellow just because of Brock's gym.

mitch13pavel July 23rd, 2011 6:33 PM

i hate getting poisoned without having an antidote, i also hate how small the backpack was

LightOfTruth July 24th, 2011 3:44 AM

But when you think about it through, Back then it was the in thing and we didn't know any better because half the stuff didn't exist back then like breeding :)

Balalaika July 24th, 2011 5:25 PM

Pokemon Tower, there was a Gastly like every 3 steps and it was just an overall irritating experience. I wasn't a fan of Rock Tunnel either.

Malvagio August 1st, 2011 12:39 PM

i hated the snorlax who blocked me

Rafi August 2nd, 2011 7:43 AM

I'd have to say going through the caves, they get really annoying without any repel

SoopahScizor August 2nd, 2011 7:49 AM

Mt. Moon. ZUBATS!!!!! Surfing wasnt bad back then. It actully took me a while to catch a Tentacool! XD

IAshKetchum August 2nd, 2011 8:10 AM

Either the amount of Zubat's in the game (run into one every 5 seconds in caves)
Or Lt. Surge's gym with the electric switches >.>

Super Red August 3rd, 2011 9:54 PM

Going through Rock Tunnel and Mt. Moon. Every time I go through any of those caves I have dreams of getting attacked by Zubats that night.

I also hated the Pokemon Tower without the Silph Scope. I got scared of the ghosts when I was little.

Lady Gaga August 3rd, 2011 9:57 PM

How short it was, those games were awesome!

The Best there was August 4th, 2011 2:15 AM

Lt. Surge gym when you have to find the switches in the bins.

Ribsey August 4th, 2011 12:01 PM

And I thought only a few people hated Rock Tunnel! It was one of the worst places to go through and it had me stuck for a couple of hours until I actually made my way to the exit, the relief! Until I saw there were more trainers between me and Lavender lol!

Also I can't forget how Blue swept my team with his LV 30-40 Venusaur in Silph. Co except for my LV 15-20 Bellsprout which couldn't be touched because of the types it is and Venusaur's attacks. Had to keep using Cut to slowly beat him, back then I just thought it was becuase they were plant type Pokemon.

Ghost of Mew August 14th, 2011 5:03 AM

I played Pokemon Blue when I was four. I was awful at it as I just kept battling trainers until my Squirtle was 20 levels above them and could barely beat them. Anyway when it got to the part where I needed to go to Saffron I couldn't get in as I didn't know that I needed to give the guard a drink. So for the next four years I wandered around until randomly I figured out what to do. However I had no problems for the rest of the game as my Blastoise was level 90 while the rest of my team were below 10. Also Silph Co and Saffron gym were annoying.

MotherPunker970 August 17th, 2011 12:39 PM

any tunnel,any hideout,and the beggining,if im replaying the game,like fr or hg...

Pokedoll + max repel for the win.

icychill66 August 19th, 2011 9:56 AM

I can never remember which floor the Card Key is on in Silph Co. when I do run-throughs of the game... Also, I hate the part in Victory Road where you must push a boulder WAY to the left and onto a switch because I run into so many wild pokemon trying to do it.

The Shiny Ho-Oh August 21st, 2011 2:22 PM

You can't throw away key items that you'll never need again. /facepalm

theking6 August 21st, 2011 2:28 PM

Rocket Hideout in Saffron City, I hate going through that place!:P

the :D August 23rd, 2011 1:30 AM

I hated the confusing damage multipliers. what, with types and such. that said, I played Gen II first, then Gen III, then, and only Gen I. It just didn't make sense to me. It incorporated ONE type and I often didn't know which.

I hated Zubats and Geodudes and Tentacools coming at you bro every five steps.

I hated Brock with a passion. Pikachu just isn't meant to do that sort of thing, and I didn't like Mankeys.

Diglett's Cave. Oh, my God. Fu-... uh, Fork that stupid cave.

>enter with Pikachu
>level 30 Dugtrio
>challengeaccepted.jpg uploaded
>few moves later
>Pikachu fainted!
>kills whole rest of party


That said, I didn't like having to start with perhaps the weakest pokemon in the game.

Grindan' in that game -- most difficult task ever. It is simply the worst. It took me the better part of half an hour to get Pidgeotto to 36 from 30 in the mid-20's grass outside of that one city, the one with Koga... I forget its name.

SILPH FORKIN' CO. Hated that God-forsaken place, with its oh-my-God-I-want-to-commit-murder teleporting panels.

All in all, it's a fine game, and it was the start to the best series ever made, but it wasn't my favorite out of said series. That was Silver, with no close second. Far second, sure, Black is awesome. But that's getting off topic.

Mentalii August 23rd, 2011 2:23 AM

The cave to go to Lavender Town was just the most horrible moment I remember. Ok, now I know it, I don't have any problem to pass through it, but when I was 6, when I entered in this cave for the first time, without Flash (I didn't really know the game and I guess I didn't know Flash existed either), with a few items like Potions etc, it was AWFUL ! When my Pokemon were almost KO I couldn't regress otherwise I had to begin again everything !
Yeah, a horrible moment for me...

cazzler August 24th, 2011 1:48 AM

I played Yellow when I was young, there was a few things that annoyed me, the rock tunnel (I didn't use flash!), Rocket Hideout under the game corner, since you spin at incredibly slow speed and last but not least, silph co. where I kept getting lost with all those teleporters lol.

poke are poke August 24th, 2011 2:17 AM

ROCK TUNNEL!!!!!!! It ıs the only place you need to use flash ın and back then ı dıdnt know what HM slaves were

Yoshikko August 24th, 2011 9:31 AM

Definitely Silph Co., it was extremely confusing and it took so long for me to complete. It was a long time ago since I was very young, but that is a particular part that I can remember. Also, the dark cave, somewhere in the beginning.

Flaps August 24th, 2011 12:03 PM

Fire spin. Only when its used against me. When I use it? ****ing brilliant.

Rocket Grunt Cali September 2nd, 2011 7:30 PM

I hate Zubats and everything they stand for. EVERYTHING. THEY. STAND. FOR.

Besides those stupid, annoying, useless, pathetic excuses for Pokemon that JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALOOOONE, Sabrina's Gym drives me crazy. I can't stand those stupid warp tiles anywhere, but at least the Rocket ones have the good manners to have an easy route back to where you started so you can try again. Sabrina's just throw you around and get you hopelessly lost. It also kind of bugs me that I keep having to double back to get stuff like the bike and the Poke Flute and stuff. Makes it very hard to keep track of where I am.... Recover and Rest can also go rot with all the Zubat. Stop healing when I'm trying to defeat you, dangit!

pretty much any place where you had to surf for a long time or had to go through a long cave

People play this game at four years old? wtf how can you read? Four year olds can barely speak well.

There is only 1 major non-balance, non-fluff problem with the game.

It is too freaking easy.

You heard me. I'm talking low-level no item speed run yawn fest easy. Maybe I'm too awesome of a gamer but come on. All the puzzles exactly made sense first run through. All the enemy pokemon are way underleveled. Too easy to grind (infinite xp!). Enemy pokemon chose stupid moves, etc. The easiness of it made it feel slow (which it was considering the gb's cpu)

Everytime I play it I have to go do some nightmare mode or low level or speed runs just to not atrophe.

Err, when I was 4 years old I could already speak and read, and write a bit.

To not be off-topic: Only thing that annoys me in RBY is Rock Tunnel. There's too much Zubats. :(

Read in English or a simpler language?

Squirrel September 11th, 2011 1:45 PM

What annoyed me was how slow everything was, it took forever to talk to someone and even longer to walk a few steps :p

In Polish, I think it's harder than English.

Besides those stupid, annoying, useless, pathetic excuses for Pokemon that JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALOOOONE, Sabrina's Gym drives me crazy.

At least trainers didnt use potions.

Gotta be the Geodudes and Zubats attacking me every 3 steps.

Hiroshi Zaiaku October 2nd, 2011 9:25 AM

rock tunnel, sliph co., and victory road. i lose motivation at those places

sherreamethyst October 2nd, 2011 9:57 AM

I hated the caves and zubats and geodudes. When I first played Yellow, I REALLY hated the part when yur stuck in Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower. I could never get past that mother ghost marowak. I would always forget how to get through(silph scope, bleh).

I also hated how the game never really gave yu a hint on what yu had to do next. I always found myself looking through walkthroughs. With the current games, its easy to get through since they kinda guide yu through. In Pokemon R/B/Y/G/S/C yu kinda had to guess on what to do next. I could never remember that in Crystal yu had to go back to Goldenrod after yur 7th badge and defeat Team Rocket in the Radio Tower.

RivalGator October 2nd, 2011 2:17 PM

The only real thing I hate about those games was having to trade. Back then, trading was a real pain.

Maple Leaf October 17th, 2011 1:11 PM

The annoying Pokemon (Zubat and Tentacool, mainly) and Rock Tunnel were the worst.

I didn't like using Flash, and I hated encountering those two Pokemon every five seconds.

Rio448 October 17th, 2011 10:03 PM

Probably the rock tunnel, I never had a Pokemon with Flash :(

Bnarlik October 18th, 2011 10:55 AM

Everytime you randomly encounter your rival. Not to mention inside Silph co, my pokemons didn't have much HP left and when i managed to find the way of the teleporters he appears to ruin the day...

Legobricks October 18th, 2011 1:34 PM

The fact I'd have to go into the bag constantly to fish and cycle.

As for locations/events... Seafoam Islands, evidently, as I never bothered to traverse them from entrance to exit.

AquaticWartortle October 18th, 2011 1:50 PM

Rocket Hideout & L.T. Surge's gym.

Deliciousfruit233 October 18th, 2011 9:08 PM

Silph Co. I must've spent DAYS stepping on random warps to find the end. And once I finally stumbled on the correct warp, Blue jumped me again. He proceeded to wipe out my half-dead team, sending me back to the Pokemon center, and making me spend about another day randomly stepping on warp tiles. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

cipE October 20th, 2011 6:02 PM

Probably the Elite Four to be honest. I like going through the story and it's a lot better than grinding all the time to try to beat them. Other than that it's Rock Tunnel, most annoying part ever.

Olli October 21st, 2011 3:46 AM

I would say Lt. Surge's gym and Mt. Moon.
I hated Lt. Surge's gym because of the goddamn puzzles in there, and I hated Mt. Moon because of all the wild Pokémon attacking, and because of all them Rocket Grunts.

Zironium October 21st, 2011 1:14 PM

The way you moved so slow and had to damage a pokemon to catch it X.X

The way you moved so slowly? Yeah, that never bothered me UNTIL recently - because it took so long compared to other games, especially without the running shoes. It also took quite a while to be able to get the bike.
