Victory Road and Wallace/Juan's gym in RSE, as well as mach biking over the cracks to get to Rayquaza.

In FRLG, team rockets hideout on the Sevii Islands was such a headache for me.

When they ended :(

No seriously, I can't think of anything that really annoyed me. Pokemon Emerald is a masterpiece. I love it, and 3rd Gen is clearly the best. Water routes? Loved them. Sky Tower? Didn't mind it that much. Victory Road? Not too hard. Gym Leaders? Just some of the puzzles.

Some of the Gym puzzles in Hoenn were really annoying. Getting to the Gym Leader was more difficult than beating them.

Lt. Surge's gym was designed by Satan
I second (or third?) this.

I thought the most annoying parts were the first routes of FR/LG when they tried to give you Teachy TV and you didn't have running shoes. And also Wally catching Ralts in R/S/E.

The stupid help menu from the FireRed and LeafGreen games. I had a tendency to accidentally bump the LR buttons into things and the help screen would pop up with that stupid little jingle. Even worse was the fact that it made another jingle when you closed it.

How the happy golbat fails evolving after EVERY level-up until you get the national dex in FR/LG...

...And about that VS-Seeker... I actually really really miss the possibility to rebattle trainers starting from Gen V... So I saw the VS Seeker in those games as a great improvement.

no physical special split.
it was real annoying going back to gen3 after the newer gens to find many pokemons being set back because of this.

If it's a place that needs Flash, I automatically hate it.

...

But really, Flash is one of the most useless moves (battling with Splash, IMO) in the games. Plus, I don't really like the concept of HM Slaves, so it's either I use one or I wing it....

SKY PILLAR, I HATE YOU TOO. It's just Arceus-hard.

And the Zubats for every cave? I'd rather not about them. Crobat is useful...

I was always annoyed by weather effects. Every round the game would take time to remind you 'it's still raining!' or 'the sun is still shining bright!' or 'yep, there's still hail'.

Even to this day, those weather effects, while cool, still annoy me because they really slow down the battles.

Half the world covered in water. I like exploration but Hoenn had me checking the ****ing Town Map every 10 tiles in the later routes. Think about it: the Town Map. The most useless key item in all the games. I don't know if it's a merit or a flaw.

Also, most Pokémon have crap level up movepools and there's no physical/special split, which makes it hard for me to get back to Hoenn. Things they fixed in Sinnoh.

Lavaridge and Sootopolis City locations. Very difficult to reach without Fly.

Sootopolis is the only thing I was annoyed by in the Hoenn region.
Everything in FR/LG annoys me, it's just all so... terrible.. The game was awful.

I think towards the end of RSE really annoyed me. All the surfing around and diving finding Sootopolis and Kyogre before that, I think it's just a bit too much. Also, Victory Road was really annoying because it felt so long and the amount of HMs you have to use is really annoying so you are bound to bring in at least 1 HM slave. All the back and forth traveling in the game wasn't really my favorite thing, either.
