there are alot of trainers out there, with, some real easy to beat, some a real challenge, some might have been even be capable enough to pose a real threat! was there a certain non-gym leader/ non storyline/non elite four trainer during your first playthrough that you had trouble with? i mean, a LOT of trouble with?
I always kept myself into not having a signature, but it was inevitable...

ain't that a kick in the head?

I didn't really find any individual trainers to be very strong.
A couple of the Team Plasma guys were a little tough, but I only had 2 members on my team for a long time so that probably had something to do with it.

Any trainer with an Alomomola was harder than usual.
Even when hitting it with electric attacks it barely did any damage. It just felt really... massive?

Uhhh..I honestly cant remember any trainer actually giving me any trouble..Most of my Pokemon were overleveled *shrugs*. Maybe Fire types since I used Grass and Grass/Bug types most of the way...

Same with Tyranit, thank God I had Vicitini, & another trainer (White vers.) that battles you with a triple battle style, finishing all my Pokemon, all but one, Tirtouga. I thank him, nowadays.

I will edit my sig some other time, since I'm lazy to do it right now.

I agree with the above, the post-story trainers were all huge threats (even for a well prepared mid 50 team like mine).

Other than that, no main story trainer have really been that extraordinarily difficult.
Chilli was a pain at first though, as I had let him use all those Work-ups during a blunder :P

I'm don't remember why or how, but N almost killed me. And, since Zoroark was my main/only Pokemon at the time...I suicide trained at Marshal and at Grimsley's Scrafty.

Thinking back, that Morimoto guy or whatever was a little tough, but with Volcarona wasnt too hard. Same as the post game trainers. Cynthia of course wiped my team out quickly..Stupid Garchomp, and too this day I have not beat her yet XD.

EXACTLY! I went to the Dreamyard right after I beat the Elite 4 and all of the trainers had pokemon around Lvl 65. The stadiums have even higher level pokemon. There is such a gap between levels, it's difficult to beat those trainers.

Garchomp has a 4x weakness to Ice, so use an Ice-type if possible.

I dunno if I'm the only one (probably) but I absolutely loved the huge jump in level going from E4 to post-game trainers. It made everything after the main storyline actually somewhat difficult, with my Pokémon nearly KOed a good three-fourths of the time. It made strategizing and planning out stuff more important, I s'pose. Plus, the huge jump in level made every battle a challenge and gave way more experience points. I dunno, I just really enjoyed the huge change.

Any trainer in specific...? Nah, not really. I mean, I lost to Cynthia the first try, but eh otherwise not really anyone.

When that happend for me the first guy had a lv. 60 croagunk (dunno if you fought him in white, I have black)...also the challengers cave with all the ace trainers and their lvl 65 Gabites took awhile, but other than that no huge stand-outs.

A Pilot in Battle Subway. I was so damn scared! I never lost in my entire life playing
PKMN, so I was so afraid that I would lose!

Unfortunately for that Pilot, I won with my last standing Hyderigon.
(Which would have died if the Pilot's Salamence's Draco Meteor hits
my Hyderigon. Unfortunately for him, his Salamence's Draco Meteor missed)

as for me, it was a certain trainer within victory road with an Eelektrik. then again with another's fraxure(i forget which one or if it was in victory road), afterwards a veteran in challengers cave with 6 pokemon, all of my team were fatigued, but i some how managed to pull a win out

There was 1 trainer that really gave me a hard time, though you don't find her until well after the Elite Four. I won't say her name though in case you haven't made it this far yet and don't want the surprise spoiled. I'll put her picture in a spoiler.

Just about everybody post-game...I remember one guy with an especially vicious Lv68 Absol and this one lady with a Lv65 Own Tempo Lilligant who ripped through my team with Petal Dance.
