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

Squeegee Beckenheim June 24th, 2005 7:36 PM

I bet you had really strong electric or grass Pokemon

Morkula June 24th, 2005 7:47 PM

In Emerald, my E4/Wallace team was *checks* Blaziken, Flygon, Starmie (Thunderbolt ;)), Manectric (again, Thunderbolt), Gardevoir (Thunderbolt... XD), and Absol.

Mystic June 24th, 2005 7:56 PM

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.

pokejungle June 25th, 2005 7:21 AM

I think Raichu's a much better choice than manetric ^_~

Think you need that many thunderbolts? 0o;;

Squeegee Beckenheim June 25th, 2005 7:38 AM

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

pokejungle June 25th, 2005 7:42 AM

My raichu has lots of HP ^^ Maybe you just got a sucky nature :P

Having tons of pokemon with thunderbolt is rather redundant though :/

Squeegee Beckenheim June 25th, 2005 7:44 AM

You do have a point there. Thunderbolt on all or most Pokemon is very redundant.

pokejungle June 25th, 2005 8:36 AM

^^

I'm studying the meta-game with Frostweaver XD

Minese June 27th, 2005 6:18 PM

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.

Dragon-Chan June 29th, 2005 9:08 AM

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.

alakazamisbest June 30th, 2005 11:52 AM

the hardest part in all of the games is the begining cause u have to walk everywhere and that takes too long.

Charizard_Fire_God June 30th, 2005 12:03 PM

Tch. That would be catchin' tha regis for me... >_<

Uber_Flame June 30th, 2005 4:20 PM

Mine was catching a feebas they hard to find Oo

Shining Lericon July 1st, 2005 10:47 AM

The hardest part for me was beating Liza & Tate. Their Claydol and Xatu kept owning my Pokemon!

kohei July 1st, 2005 11:22 PM

Hardest part was finding my way around the map. I'm never good at remembering where I am.

Umbreon14 July 2nd, 2005 1:12 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.

§ Bleep § July 2nd, 2005 6:41 PM

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.

Ap41290 July 3rd, 2005 1:26 AM

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.

Sylver July 3rd, 2005 2:33 AM

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!

Eig July 3rd, 2005 5:11 AM

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...

pokejungle July 3rd, 2005 5:29 PM

I had a bit of trouble with Winona when I chose Treecko...but my Emerald marshtomp made that a lot easier =D
