We don't all have beginners luck. I know for a fact that we all have difficulties when we start on a game. What was the hardest part for you?

For me it was mastering Mach Bike tricks!

Probly Norman. I don't know why but even on my fourth or fifth time playing it I still have trouble with it. I barely defeated him with my Mahukita (sp?) on my current game. He was about Lv. 30 at the time.

Hmmm....I found Norman easier than a particular trainer that inhabited his gym. Can't remember which room though >.<;;

None of the Gyms were too hard except Liza and Tate for me.
When I first started to play Ruby, about three of the Gym Leaders was hard for me. Tate & Liza, Norman and Flannery. I think Flannery was hard was because I didn't really have the right Pokemon. A careless mistake by me. The wierd thing is that I've been playing Pokemon since about the time it came out over here. :confused:

When I went against Flannery the first time, all I had was a Combusken, an Aron, and a Skarmory, so I had to shut my game off and turn it on again three or four times because of Torkoal. All my pokemon were male, and it would use Attract then Overheat on Aron and Skarmory then Body Slam on Combusken (which would ALWAYS paralyze it), and if I ever got it down to a few HP, Flannery would use Hyper Potion on it and defeat me. I have no idea how I finally won =/

Hardest part in ruby? Probaly the elite four the first time I played all my pokemon were under-trained but that always happens to me when I play a new pokemon game and the fourth time I played through Ruby Drake was a little bit hard because the only pokemon that had an ice attack was Wailord with a nature that takes down special attack plus that my pokemon were under-trained again >_<.

Norman was the hardest in R/S, but in Emerald I had the most trouble against Liza and Tate. That Claydol was awful... x.x
Juan's Kingdra was pretty tough too. Especially since it has Double Team and Chesto Rest... x.x

Probably the beginning, suffering through training Ralts. o_o

Or the Electric gym leader, can't remember his name... I dunno why, everyone else was easy EXCEPT HIM.

now it's time to wrap our
fears in the night
and on the first day
i'll dress this city in flames
after all the things you say
you hate me for being this way

the hardest part in all the games for me is building a good team at the beginning.
Agreed, I got Ruby the day it came out, and some of the new Pokemon and team building was honestly frightening.
