    #9 - Do you think you'll struggle with the same gym leaders you did as a kid?


    How much do you think you'll struggle against the gym leaders (or anyone in general) in these games, compared to when you played them as a kid? Which battles were the most difficult for you when you were younger (assuming you played them years ago), and do you think you'll fare better this time around?

    I always struggle with the same Gym Leaders: Claire and Whitney. Claire is just hard because I you don't have the type advantage so it requires careful planning. Whitney just requires some overleveling - especially if I'm going with Quilava and Flaaffy.

  • I'm the same as Cobalt, I used to always struggle against Claire and Whitney. I don't think Whitney will be too much of a problem seeing as I've beaten her easily in recent times but the fact is that there just isn't that many Pokemon that are strong against Claire's team, so she could prove a challenge.

    There's a chance imma struggle against probably Jasmine lol Clair and Whitney should be fine tbh but that Steelix always throws a spanner in the works, esp if I'm maybe going with Chikorita. Maybe.

  • For me, 2nd gen's games were one of the easiest games, but I remember that sometimes when I started with Chikorita, I had problems with Bugsy

    Bugsy and Claire. Whitney I don't have too much of a problem with because I have weird starter gender luck.

    Depends on which Pokemon I pick. With Chikorita I lost against Bugsy's Scyther a bunch of times, but with the other two it's Whitney's Miltank, or sometimes it's Morty's Gengar for all three, especially if my team's slow and lacks good moves.
