...And here goes another Weekly Poll. ;)

In some point(s) of the games, I'm sure quite a few of you have had a challenge between someone. Whether it be something in the plot, getting lost, or a fight between a Gym, trainer or Elite Four member, what did you find difficult to complete?

As for those who have yet to receive the games and/or waiting for the English Release (which has been announced for the US :3), in what point of the game might you think you will have a hard time getting through?

Discuss, discuss, discuss!

The Gym Leaders weren't that challenging, but I had to grind for a while to get my Pokemon ready for the Elite Four, and even more when I was going to fight Geechisu. (Which I guess counts as storyline, but I forgot to vote for it...)

The gym leaders and E4 weren't that hard because I grinded. XD
I find the storyline the most challenging thing, or sometimes even just tiny sidequests. Mostly because I can't understand Japanese though. >_>
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house,
I had only two things on my mind:
Paul Newman and a ride home.
...

Honestly, I didn't find B&W very difficult at all..
The only part I got actually lost in and had a bit of difficulty figuring out was when I arrived in Sekka City. I beat the gym leader and everything but when I went off to go find what I was supposed to do next I got lost out in the marshy parts.. including that marshy forest area. I thought my next task was somewhere out there.. I spent prolly a day trying to figure it out before looking at a walkthrough. :x

Wow I feel stupid. XDD
But there ya have it! The only real difficulty I had~

None, actually... Black and White were fun, but pretty short and easy. The Gym Leaders could've been a bit harder, and the final battle against N and Geesichu (sp?) would've been more challenging if your Pokemon hadn't been healed before both of those fights.

Then again, Pokemon's not really meant to be challenging, so overall I guess the difficulty was pretty fair.

I'd consider the N and Geechisu matches to be challenging because of the variety of Pokemon they use. Even though Adeku uses 3 Bug Pokemon on his team, I'd say that he'd be challenging because of the sheer power of his Pokemon's moves.

This is the first Pokémon game that gave me a lot of challenge. Dare I say, too much? I always find it difficult to catch up, even with the exp compensation.

Let's just say that everything in them gave me a hard time.

Getting through that Electric cave was kinda annoying if you ask me.

I know some people were having trouble finding how to remove the web in front of it, you only had to defeat the gym leader...
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

I think I might have problems with the Elite Four and Team Plasma leader.

I think I had the most issues with wild Pokémon or trainers. :( I'd constantly have to go back and heal repeatedly and it'd take FOREVER to get from one city to the next... but iirc, gym leaders were fairly easy, for the most part. o_O

And the Elite 4 gave me trouble at first but I grinded just a tad and came back and I was able to beat them, so they were a bit of a non-issue.

All that text, and stuff.

I mean I can read japanese, but I can't translate it to know what it means. I mean, if N didn't say "Kimi" so much, I would've never knew it ment "You"

That and the Quick Sand Holes in the Resort Desert. It took me an hour to figure out I had to walk past it, not run.
