Claire from Blackthorn in Jhoto.
To be the highest ranking gym leader and be the least professional. That's not setting a good example. |
hmm... Jasmine... Urg sometimes I destroy her, othertimes she just utterly destroys me...
I could also include Whitney, not because of her Mi...ii..ltank... but her fit at the end of the battle... she's a gym leader, does she do that EVERYTIME? (yes, she does, to everyone...) |
I really detest Whitney... Normal are annoying already (when based around attract as the go-to move) plus the tantrum at the end just adds to it.
|
Whitney goes without saying. That Miltank is not of this universe. There's no possible way it can be anything other than such.
I've always had varying issues with Koga and Sabrina in Gen I. The rest of the leaders weren't so difficult. |
Brock in Yellow, because at the age I was playing that I didn't realise I could catch a Mankey on Route 22 and make life easy for myself :/
Misty's Starmie mostly because it's a massive jump up from Brock. Lt. Surge only because I needed a Cutter to get to him, same with Erika.. Sabrina - OMFG Stupid Psychic with no weaknesses in Gen1. then Giovanni, merely because of the fact that after all of it, he's ridiculously easy to beat. At least GSC made it a challenge to get the 8th badge. and need I mention Whitney's Miltank? Uber frustrating because at a young age, even with a guide book, I didn't realise I could get a Machop in Goldenrod Dept. store......... |
Get a female starter and Whitney isn't much trouble at all. Rollout + Milk Drink was still slightly annoying.
I didn't like Misty in the games.. Her Starmie can give you a hard time if you got Charmander (in FR/LG.) Erika's personality made me want to smack her up so badly. |
My first thought was Whitney but after thinking it over, I realized I don't hate her but just that Miltank of hers. The gym leader I hate most is Clair because she's a sore loser and makes you go on a really pointless side quest before she'll give you the badge.

Erika.
Stun Spore, Wrap, Wrap, Wrap, Wrap, wrap...damned.. |
Blain, because once while doing the Missingno glitch way back in the day on my Red Version. While surfing on the east coast of Cinnebar, suddenly the screen goes black for a long time. I'm all, "Alright, about time you show up Missingo!" (I was little, impatient, and didn't know how to say it's name properly.) Suddenly when the screen turns back on who's there? Not Missingno, but instead it was Blain. The text read, Wild Blain wants to Battle!" Then to my surprise he sends out "sdluaygfbsldiu" or something along those lines, and what was it? It was the skeleton Kabutops found in the Pewter City Museum. It goes about using it's move titled "dgfasliugfblva" or whatever and bam! My game freezes.
Not much of a legit reason to be hating on Blain, but he's not too cool in general either. |
Whitney, omg. I could never get past her Miltank. And then of course the fit she throws after. Definitely hated her :p
|
Please stop bringing up the horrors of Whitney's miltank
Spoiler:

In Gen 1, Brock in Yellow because it's such a hassle to either try winning with Pikachu, train a Caterpie to Lv. 10 and spam Confusion until you win, or catch a Mankey, which I never realized I could do.
Misty's Starmie is really annoying, but she's overall not that bad, unlike a certain gym leader I haven't mentioned yet that I think we all know about. Sabrina and Psychic types that pretty much have no weakness in Gen 1, they're really annoying. Clair has that annoying Kingdra, but it's not as bad as Juan's in Emerald. We all know the one. Even after that, she's such a sore loser and refuses to give you a badge, but in Crystal, if you play your cards right, you can get a free Extremespeed Dratini. Then, there's her. Whitney, the scourge of just about every Gen 2 player's childhood. Well, not Wintney as a person, but her evil cow of death, Miltank. I don't think I need to say any more since all the other posts speak for me about that demon cow. |
I had a hard time beating Bugsy for some reason.
|
Picked Charmander in Pokemon Red, WORST CHOICE EVER, especially for Brock and Misty.
Picked Cyndaquil in Pokemon Gold, WHY DOES MILKTANK HAVE TO KNOW ROLLOUT??? |
RBY, I never really had trouble with any of the leaders. Always a decent amount of type-advantageous Pokémon available before the leaders, but GSC, like everyone else, I had trouble with Whitney. That damn Miltank made me throw my Game Boy more times than I could count. I can't tell you how many days I spent grinding on Route 34/35 trying to beat her...
|
In yellow, I can remember Sabrina being a bit of a pain. Psychic types were almost indestructible back then if you weren't thoroughly prepared with a solid team. Of course being the kid I was, I can remember getting frustrated and having to teleport my way through the gym to get to her again (which seems like it takes forever. This does not nearly compare to the the first gym leader Brock, though. It is (or was) very difficult to beat his Onix with a Flying type, bug type and a Pikachu that doesn't even listen (smh).
As for Gen 2, almost everyone seems to say Whitney was the worst. I'm not going to lie; I took her out in one attempt. I just don't see why some thought she was so hard. I guess if your starter was Cyndaquil it would be tricky. I thought the worst was either Morty or Jasmine. I'm not sure why, but I remember them worrying me that I might loose. I guess they have fairly solid pokes (no pun on Jasmine intended :P). All of this said, there isn't a gym leader I've encountered so far that I hate... knock on wood. |
Gen I: I had more issues with the Elite Four than the Gym Leaders, but if I had to choose the hardest for me it would be Blaine. I'm not even sure why to be honest, I just get extremely unlucky fighting him. My water types never seemed to kill, and I'd be constantly healing away his burn hax.
Gen II: Clair, her Kingdra is something else. It was usually because I would get unlucky misses from her smokescreen spam all the time. I never really had a specific pokemon that could beat it easily either. It was always a team effort that ended in failure most of the time. |
I have no hatred against any of the RBY Gym leaders, but in GSC, boy did I have a hatred forWhitney.. she was definitely one of the most tough gym leaders in those games, and all because of her Miltank + Rollout. I remember one time training a Pokémon to get as much as 5 levels above her Miltank, and it still fainted.
At least in HGSS, Game Freak didn't make Whitney as difficult of a trainer. I guess they got that many complaints about her. xD |
In Yellow, the most troublesome was actually Brock because well.. I don't think there were any types that you could catch that were supper-effective against rock types
. In Silver, I've hated Whitney and Clair because they were the most annoying to defeat.. Whitney with her troll Miltank and Clair with her dragon types. |
Kanto: I disliked Misty since I always had problems with her Starmie since I often used Charmander or Squirtle as my starters.
Johto: I really disliked Whitney. Her Miltank where a real pain! It was almost unbeatable. |
Quote:
Also because when I beat her, she says she still doesn't think I am good enough for the Elite 4...even after she said, "I can even hold my own against the Elite 4." I really want to smack Clair. XD |
Bugsy (Chikorita as starter) and Whitney (Miltank) for Gen II and Sabrina for Gen I.
|
Everybody hates Whitney. She would cry just now...
I hated Morty more, his Gengar's hypnosis is a pain in the butt. |
Whitney... and her Miltank, I always assumed normal type sucke dbut damn I was wrong when I got that gym
|
To me; Falkner was a pushover with any starter, bugsy was the same, Whitney was difficult because my time usually never has a fighting type by that point, Morty easy, chuck could be difficult, jasmine easy peasy, pryce easy and Clair is always incredibly hard. So basically I can't stand Whitney or Clair and chuck is a bit meh.
