Yeah Blaziken can out shine all his Pokemon with ease

silverbullet2k4 August 6th, 2005 3:09 PM

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

silverbullet2k4 August 7th, 2005 10:32 AM

What are you talking about, the rival is EASY!

pikagurl511 August 7th, 2005 11:27 AM

I only had 1 Pokemon, and my friend caught me 2 Zigzagoons and a Wingull

Squeegee Beckenheim August 7th, 2005 11:59 AM

The second time is really difficult, but having more that one Pokemon could help.

wishirulz August 10th, 2005 6:25 PM

the first time i tryed it it was beating poochyena in the begining ahh i think i lost over 6 times

Kurono August 11th, 2005 11:13 AM

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.

deoxys2000 August 11th, 2005 11:34 AM

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.

pokejungle August 11th, 2005 12:05 PM

I'm having trouble finding good pokemon to train x.x;

Right now I'm raising a Ralts and Heracross to dominate the E4...

jc_rcw August 11th, 2005 1:58 PM

It was really hard to beat wallace,I had to train a lot.

Sithre August 11th, 2005 2:24 PM

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 *

Jirachi3 August 15th, 2005 7:44 AM

I have 36 hours on my game and I'm at tate&liza. What does that tell you

Jordan August 15th, 2005 9:54 AM

Either Liza and Tate, finishing the Pokedex, or capturing Latios or Latias.

Clam August 15th, 2005 10:31 AM

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.

aqonix August 15th, 2005 6:39 PM

I think I had trouble with Fortree gym because of pokemon. I can't really think of anything.

Squeegee Beckenheim August 15th, 2005 6:47 PM

Fortree is especially hard if you never trained an electric or rock type.

Entemo August 16th, 2005 4:51 AM

I found Brawly a right kik in the nads, he just used makuhitas arm thrusts n wiped all ma pokemon out.

The Latios Master August 16th, 2005 5:47 AM

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!

Random Plushie August 16th, 2005 12:19 PM

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

That's because that Milotic is a Metagame standard XD. Surf, Ice Beam, Toxic, Recover.

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.

Random Plushie August 16th, 2005 12:44 PM

^^ 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

Bliksem August 16th, 2005 12:51 PM

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!!

Random Plushie August 16th, 2005 12:53 PM

*has experienced the same thing*

I wish Banette had better Defense. Or more Hp. ^^

Alistair August 16th, 2005 1:07 PM

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.
