Probably, the hardest gyms for me would be:
Yellow Version: Brock. I had a Pikachu, and only a Pikachu. I didn't know how to do anything, since that was the first game I ever got, so I was left in the wind. I remember, though this was so many years back, I kept trying to beat Brock over and over and over again. Failed every time. It was rather a shame, really because I was what? Five years old back then and I kept losing to the same guy. Talk about something to lose your self-esteem when it came to games, that guy was brutal. Why they put him first in the game, I'll never know. Especially with the fact that the only wild Pokemon, as far as I can remember, around Pewter City were all normal, and flying types. Along with a few Metapod. I don't remember how, exactly, I beat him, but I know for a fact that he was the hardest.
Red and Blue Version: Due to being able to start off with Bulbasaur, I chose him. The first two gyms, so easy. Had a difficult time with Misty, but stormed right on through. But by the time Koga came around, that's when things started to get difficult. So annoying! Everyone else in his gym had psychic types but him. I was expecting, though I've read the sign, that he'd come out with Psychic types, since I never fight Sabrina until I beat Koga, just because I like Sabrina better and think she's the coolest of the Kanto gym leaders (-- and I was very fond of her). Anyway, those moves were hard on my whole team. I remember, I formed my team based on Ash's team (and a few of my favorites). I don't remember the exact team, but I know it was very difficult facing him. Toxic. Back then that was a killer move, still is, but back then it seemed like it was stronger, which it probably was. That was the move that destroyed me until I decided to get a Kadabra and.. *sigh* go to Saffron City to face both the "fighting gym" and Sabrina.
Silver, Gold and Crystal: I had started off, like a few others, with a Chikorita. I had chose it, due to the fact that I wanted to keep my team, yet again, based on Ash's. So, I start my journey throughout Johto with the Chikorita.
Ignore all that ^
After thinking it over, I'll have to say that Whitney (sorry Jeremy XD) was the most annoying gym leader in Johto. She was probably the toughest one I had faced. Like I said in the spoiler (if you've read it --only reason I'm keeping it in here is because it took me forever to type that and I don't want it to go to waste), I had started off with the lovable grass type. I was very fond of them, and wanted to keep up with Ash's team. When I got to Whitney, I was expecting an easy win seeing as how all but one of the gym trainers had easy to beat Sentret. I go against her, and then I lose humiliatingly. I ended up having to make a whole new team. Since this was one of the few towns that had "strong" wild Pokemon, that were around the level of Whitney's Clifairy, I went searching for some. I ended up finding no good Pokemon and rollout, which I taught to my Quilava (traded with my brother, since he never used his Gold version) and then with that done, I beat Whitney easily. But it took many tries to finally get the job done. Then she goes and cries. I thought I won, I thought I had the badge, so I went to continue on my journey only to find out that I didn't get anything [retarded, I know. XD]. I go back, get what's needed, and go fight the Sudowoodo.
Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald: Having been attracted to both Claire and Sabrina, surely I would become attracted to another, and I did. The elegant, Winona. Her team of flying types was surprisingly hard. No details about it though, sadly.
Diamond and Pearl: I found the Sinnoh gym leaders all surprisingly easy and not at all annoying. It wasn't really until the Elite Four when things started to get annoying. I started off with Turtwig (the first round playing the game - ended up restarting after not making it past the Elite Four). But since I have to choose one, it'd be Maylene. Only due to that drain punch! And with that said, that ends my rant.
