The hardest one for me was Norman. I used Hariyama and I still got my rear end handed to me over and over....

and when I finally beat him, It was like...BORDERLINE....

I saved as soon as I got control of everything again....

Normally the hardest Gym Leader would be Brawly, but on my first attempt in Emerald it took many, many tries to beat Tate & Liza.

Brawly's Makuhita is a pain, but I gain experience from the others, so it gets easier the more I battle Brawly. I had a type disadvantage with the twins, so that's why I struggled with them; later battles were with Pokemon whose types had the upper hand.

So it's generally Brawly/

All in the Slaking...

Juan gave me minimal issues. Usually.
I have Endeavor on Swellow always (and Quick Attack). Sometimes on Swampert. So STAB Aerial Ace from Swellow or just a good old fashined Shadow Ball from Absol/Banette solved my later Juan problems.

Slaking Facade makes me really, really angry.

Juan was trying to confuse me all the time with Water Pulse, but then I Sunnybeamed everything and won. -_-

The first time I played Emerald, Norman, Wattson and the Psychic Twins o' Mossdeep kicked my butt from one end of the game to the other. The second time around, I had Combusken, Lairon and Mightyena, and they didn't stand a chance. And I had a Raichu on my team to help against Wallace during the E4. :>

The Psychic Twins are still the most annoying to me, though. :x I hate Claydols now. XD

Wattson definetely takes this cake, I can't describe how much I hate battling him.
Norman is actually not that hard, a Pokemon with Dig or Protect can easily beat his Slakings, end the Vigoroth is not that strong.
The twins... In RS they're a joke, while they're quite challenging in Emerald. But 3 of their 4 Pokemon are weak to Water, which means Surf, so where's the problem?

To be honest, I think RSE had the hardest gym leaders. My first playthrough of Sapphire, I don't recall ever beating a gym leader in one shot. The hardest for me are (in no order; they're all tied) Tate and Liza, Winona, and Brawly.

Tate and Liza were hard for me because of the annoying Solrock and Lunatone they have and their gym is a bit confusing just getting to them. It took me nearly an hour on Emerald because Emerald was the only one I got of the R/S/E series. The switches were a bit annoying and you get lost after awhile.:)
