What was the hardest part of R/S/E when you started playing it?
We don't all have beginners luck. I know for a fact that we all have difficulties when we start on a game. What was the hardest part for you?
For me it was mastering Mach Bike tricks! |
In Emerald it has been catching a diverse group 0o;; My pokedex is only at 54!!! WTH??
-.-;; Can't seem to find anything other than common ones. Have to look harder after the E4 ^^ |
Probly Norman. I don't know why but even on my fourth or fifth time playing it I still have trouble with it. I barely defeated him with my Mahukita (sp?) on my current game. He was about Lv. 30 at the time.
|
Hmmm....I found Norman easier than a particular trainer that inhabited his gym. Can't remember which room though >.<;;
None of the Gyms were too hard except Liza and Tate for me. |

|
Flannery gave me some trouble in Ruby too. Something about using Sceptile to beat her XD
|
Liza and Tate is hardest! Earthquake + Psychic!!! my pokemon can't stand long under their attacks! I spent lot of time to defeat them.
|
I had difficult finding most of the HM and I didn't know how to fish.
|
The hardest part was in emerald when I had to reach Liza & Tate. The battle was easy.
|
The maze wasn't *that* hard IMHO.
But I liked it better than the Ruby version. Emerald's was easier XD |
those stupid f***ing slaking from normans gym the second time i played it, actually both times xD swampert beat tate and liza with surf xD
|
XD I trained up a Shark. Whatever those things are called. To beat her. Dark/water was the perfect combo XD
|
When I went against Flannery the first time, all I had was a Combusken, an Aron, and a Skarmory, so I had to shut my game off and turn it on again three or four times because of Torkoal. All my pokemon were male, and it would use Attract then Overheat on Aron and Skarmory then Body Slam on Combusken (which would ALWAYS paralyze it), and if I ever got it down to a few HP, Flannery would use Hyper Potion on it and defeat me. I have no idea how I finally won =/
|
I think the best think to do for Flannery is catch a magikarp and train it to a Gyrados. OHKO for each pokemon of hers I'd guess.
|
Hardest part in ruby? Probaly the elite four the first time I played all my pokemon were under-trained but that always happens to me when I play a new pokemon game and the fourth time I played through Ruby Drake was a little bit hard because the only pokemon that had an ice attack was Wailord with a nature that takes down special attack plus that my pokemon were under-trained again >_<.
|
Norman was the hardest in R/S, but in Emerald I had the most trouble against Liza and Tate. That Claydol was awful... x.x
Juan's Kingdra was pretty tough too. Especially since it has Double Team and Chesto Rest... x.x |
Ya...Juan's kindra used double team x10 + kept resting x.x;;;
I had to restart and just keep blasting it with thunderbolt XD |
I thought Juan was pretty easy compared to Wallace(gym leader)
|
I hate Steven's Metagross in Ruby. I can easily wipe out his other Pokemon, but Meteor Smash is an attack from hell. FROM HELL.
'Tis why I'm currently training a Metang. |
Probably the beginning, suffering through training Ralts. o_o
Or the Electric gym leader, can't remember his name... I dunno why, everyone else was easy EXCEPT HIM. |
I believe Wattson was his name.
Anyway,Tate & Liza were the hardest part for me. Took forever to beat them. Earthquake kept taking out my Pokemon really fast. |
@ Hunk: You're right! Juan was a cinch compared to Wallace.
I actually had trouble on Wallace x.x;; |
the hardest part in all the games for me is building a good team at the beginning.
|
I agree ^^
You have to really train your guys if you want to PWN all the way through -.-; |
Quote:
|
I pretty much blasted through everything Wallace and Juan had, except for Juan's Kingdra and Wallace's Milotic (and Ludicolo in Emerald, especially since I didn't have a flying type with me) x.x
|
I bet you had really strong electric or grass Pokemon
|
In Emerald, my E4/Wallace team was *checks* Blaziken, Flygon, Starmie (Thunderbolt ;)), Manectric (again, Thunderbolt), Gardevoir (Thunderbolt... XD), and Absol.
|
I better start putting my Manelectric at the front for more training. I'm going to need the extra help now. Wyona's being a pain towards me now. I don't have an Ice type and Alteria's doing a number over my Pokemon.
|
I think Raichu's a much better choice than manetric ^_~
Think you need that many thunderbolts? 0o;; |
Thunderbolts are very good. I like using them. In Emerald I trained a Manectric and it was hard to train, but it was very fast. I trained a Raichu in LG and it was very strong but had low low hit points
|
My raichu has lots of HP ^^ Maybe you just got a sucky nature :P
Having tons of pokemon with thunderbolt is rather redundant though :/ |
You do have a point there. Thunderbolt on all or most Pokemon is very redundant.
|
^^
I'm studying the meta-game with Frostweaver XD |
In Emerald I was stuck on Steven in Meteor Falls
Now I can't beat Battle Frontier. |

|
As far as the plot in the game such as, gym leaders, Team magma/aqua, and other stuff, nothing was really hard. What was hard was choosing the pkmn to use on my team, and getting them to lvl.100. It wasn't really hard, but it took me a long time.
|
I didn't have any trouble till the Elite Four. I was using the "stomp" method with my Blaziken: I would power-level it until it was so high level that nothing where I was could beat it. The power levelling began when I evolved it into a combusken just to beat Roxanne.
|
the hardest part in all of the games is the begining cause u have to walk everywhere and that takes too long.
|
Tch. That would be catchin' tha regis for me... >_<
|
Quote:
plus haveing to evolve my cute torchic into blaziken to beat norman and flannery was a pain same with liz and tate,couldnt even beat them :dead: and with my torchic it was hard to beat roxanne but i did with my lombre |
Mine was catching a feebas they hard to find Oo
|
The hardest part for me was beating Liza & Tate. Their Claydol and Xatu kept owning my Pokemon!
|
Hardest part was finding my way around the map. I'm never good at remembering where I am.
|
I could never beat Wattson. It always took me at least 4 tries, him and the elite four because I never level up for the e4 in any game XD.
|
i could never beat may the time you faced her on the ruote right below mawile city(marshtomp vs grovyle, i'd always lose)... than i got smart and realized "Hey... wingull is a flying type! Grovyle is a grass type! YAY." but tahts when i first got r/s... in emerald there really wasn't too much hard stuff.
|
I actually found the gym leaders to be easy this time around (I restarted). I got lucky on each of them. Especially on Norman. I only had my Torkoal and Gardevior left... I sent Torkoal against Slaking, Torkoal Body Slammed him, Slaking was paralyzed. Slaking then killed my Torkoal, then I sent out Gardevior, Pyschic... Loafing... Pyschic, Can't move... etc, it continued till I won. Lucky huh?
Oh, and Tate and Liz weren't that hard. I beat their Claydol in one hit, their Xatu with a few Thunderbolts... Lunatone with Steel Wing/Iron Tail, and Solrock with a Surf (times a million, I swear, I hate it when they use Hyper Potions) and Iron Tail. In my past few games Winona was a bum. I couldn't beat her, I battled her a lot... yeah, she was hard. |
You know the bridge near Trick House? I didn't see it! xD I walked one week around searching for the exit becouse of it!
|
The hardest part(s)?
1. First try in Wallace's Gym (Stupid ice!) 2. Trick house with the Rotating Doors (Where i am?! Where's exit?!) 3. Beating Winona (That @#$% Swellow!) And, it was not hard, but long... In Norman's gym in my Ruby, i battled with one Slaking one hour! It was using Rest, Rest, Rest... |
I had a bit of trouble with Winona when I chose Treecko...but my Emerald marshtomp made that a lot easier =D
|
I think we all seem to agree Norman, Winonna, and Tate and Liza are true challenges!
|
Ya XD
You could add Wallace as well...in R/S he was hard. Haven't tried him in the E4 yet... |
He really isn't that bad in the Elite Four though most of his team consists of duel type water Pokemon which is very hard to overthrow.
|
The hardest part for me in R&S was hm...Maybe it was the second time battling May idk it was when her main pokemon was in the second stage of evolution and mine was too. It was my Grovyle vs her Combusken so...yeah. Didn't fair too well but somehow I managed to take her down.
|
Flannery. Her Torkoal Body Slammed and Overheated my pokemon to hell.
|
|
I hate Overheat when someone else uses it, but I love it when I use it!
|
The Twins! @[email protected] them and they're psykic (sp?) pokemon. :K I only won by using destiny bond XD
I love overheat too! ^_____^ |
let's see i had another post but that was just 1,let's see,catching feebas,getting to rayquaza,Wattson was the hardest of all Gym Leaders,Breeding anything i had,and of course finding one of the lati's
|
Yhea I seemed to have difficulties in all those areas.
|
Well, after finishing Leaf Green, I'm finding that Ruby/Sapphire is a bit more challenging, especially since I'm not too familiar with the Hoenn Pokemon. I need to memorize their types so I don't have to keep looking them up in the *&(^% player guide to make sure I'm using the best one in battle. Gotta do my homework, I guess. :D
|
I had some problems with beating Norman.
It also took me some time to beat the Elite 4. |
Norman was quite easy, My Level 50 Sceptyle (sp?) took him out in less than a minute.
I did find the twins hard... stupid Solrock. |
Ya. If you have something strong, he goes out pretty easy. But really, you have to watch out for his strong attacks. @@'
|
gaaa... it took me quite a while to beat tate & liza, it was really annoying, but eventually i prevailed. After beating the E4 working out all the evolutions and locations of all the new pokemon when first playing through ruby was annoying, i had no idea where or what they were O.o
|
My Emerald pokedex is doing really bad @@' I was to the E4 and hadn't even caught a zigzagoon XD
|
only tate and liza were my problems
|
The only problem I had in the entire game was battling the team Magma boss. His Camerupt kept pwning my Combusken with his darn Earthquake.
Hey, I had a real easy time with Winona and Norman. I dont even remember my match with Norman it was so easy. I do remember that I pwned Winona in one match. I was doing the Mt Pyre event and I didn't know of the Berry route and Winona gave me the abulity to fly from town to town. So by the time I got there, I just felt like getting the battle over with. |
Quote:
UH,um it would of been trading all the starters all the egg hatching and what- not. |
Well, since I just bought Ruby yesterday, it's fighting Amy for the second time
|
i got stuck at the beginning when it came to battling brawly's makuhita. i had to fight that thing with a treecko, a lombre, and a poochyena!
|
Tate and Liza, the rest were easy to me :P Oh, and Drake from the E4
|
the hardest part for me is Steven after the elite 4.
|
I'm dreadin the E4 because of you all :P
Lots more training I guess =/ |
steven was a reall let down for me i fefeated him in 5 times. his metagross was no match for my blazikin!
|
Yeah Blaziken can out shine all his Pokemon with ease
|
My biggest problem was defeating Champion Wallace in Emerald without any legendaries and with Blaziken only level 49 and two other guys level 48. Milotic was a *****.
|
my hardest was when I got Ruby for X-mas, and I couldnt beat the rival for the second time :( I had to get my ex-friend to do it for me XD
|
What are you talking about, the rival is EASY!
|
I only had 1 Pokemon, and my friend caught me 2 Zigzagoons and a Wingull
|
The second time is really difficult, but having more that one Pokemon could help.
|
the first time i tryed it it was beating poochyena in the begining ahh i think i lost over 6 times
|
Well for Ruby and Sapphire I had trouble with Tate and Liza, in Emerald the toughest part for me was probably the Elite Four. I barely beat Wallace since I had Blaziken at the time.
|
well, for ruby and sapphire, since there was new pokemon i have never seen before, i get all excited and try to catch them all and i screw up my levels and stuff, and i started over and i beat it then and for emerald, ummmmm, i really had no much of problems except trying to get around the fire and phychic gyms XD, then i was shocked when it was Wallace as champ except steven, but since i had a lv. 70 rayquaza and a sceptile, i had no probs.
|
I'm having trouble finding good pokemon to train x.x;
Right now I'm raising a Ralts and Heracross to dominate the E4... |
It was really hard to beat wallace,I had to train a lot.
|
HMMmmm Ruby was pretty easy. But Emerald might prove to be a challenge...I already know im going to fill out all my pokedex sept Lunatone...and i'll never get cydaquil...*cries :disappoin *
|
I have 36 hours on my game and I'm at tate&liza. What does that tell you
|
Either Liza and Tate, finishing the Pokedex, or capturing Latios or Latias.
|
Not much that I could remember. I don't think I had any much difficulties that came across me in R/S not even finding Feebas, took me like a half hour to find one.
The only real difficult thing was in Emerald. Liza and Tate where hard, I had to rebattle them 3 times until I won. |
I think I had trouble with Fortree gym because of pokemon. I can't really think of anything.
|
Fortree is especially hard if you never trained an electric or rock type.
|
I found Brawly a right kik in the nads, he just used makuhitas arm thrusts n wiped all ma pokemon out.
|
The hardest part for me was actually Catching a Pelliper and an Absol. Thats pretty much it. I took out Groudon in one shot with My Sceptile and Rayquaza i caught with the Master ball. Luckily, i had a Groudon on Coloseum (traded form previous ruby game) so i traded that over and i had a Rayquaza on Colosseum so i have two of them, HAH!
|
Hrmz.. Well, in Emerald I found Brawly a bit of an annoyance since my only type match-up at the time was my Taillow. XD
The rest of the Gym Leaders I mostly breezed through, though. My friend actually had so much trouble gettin' to Rayquaza on the Mach Bike that I had to do it for him. XD |
Quote:
Anyone notice that? A LOT of the Pokemon use the Metagame standards... combined with their near perfect EVs, natures, IVs, etc.... it makes them a pain to take out. Anyways, the hardest thing for me is Phoebe of the Elite Four? Why? Because of that DARNED FIRST DUSCLOPS!! I don't know of ANYTHING else that can use Protect FOUR TIMES IN A ROW!! As for everything else... I'll never train Poochyena again... I hate that thing. You train FOREVER with it... and all it gets are +0 stat increases... maybe the rare +1 <_< Never a +2, not even in HP. So, all in all, Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire make it A LOT harder to train than in FR/LG where you can just catch a Spearow and pwn things with Peck and later Aerial Ace and finally Drill Peck. |
^^ Yeah, Spearow ish nice.
All it took for me to pwn Pheobe was my Seviper, or my Banette if I felt like giving her a chance. XD |
I USED Banette <_< The poor thing's Shadow Balls kept getting drained by Protect! By the end of the battle, I'd gone from 15 to 3!!
|
*has experienced the same thing*
I wish Banette had better Defense. Or more Hp. ^^ |
It took me a while to beat the Elite 4 in Emerald. My best Pokémon were Sceptile lv. 55, Chimecho lv. 43, Gardevoir lv. 57, Shelgon lv.42, Medicham lv. 40, and Jirachi lv. 62.
