    What gym leader do you think is the strongest out of them all.?
    I think that Koga and Erika are

    :t003:Dark Venusaur
     
    Koga and Sabrina....

    Erika is easy because I picked charmander
     
    I think that giovanni was hard..he had very tough moves.
     
    Erika is easy. Get a ground or fire type and you're good. A Dugtrio takes care of Erika because its super effective attacks can hit first since it is very fast.

    As long as you have a Gyarados or Snorlax, Sabrina isn't hard. Use body slam or bite or something. Koga is simple with a Kadabra. Giovanni can be out like a light with a Blastoise or Gyarados or the like. (especially Gyarados, it is flying also)

    With a Psychic type and a Fire type and a Gyarados, all four of those (Erika, Gio, Sabrina, Koga) will fall.

    But, the hardest is Misty without and Electric type. Her Starmie just throttles all but Grass pokemon and Grass ones fall fairly quickly. The same could be said about Blaine without a Water type.

    So, I guess they're all easy with a fire, psychic, electric and Gyarados
     
    I Think Out Of All the Gym Leaders In All Regions, The 1st Gym Leaders Are Always The Hardest Because You Mainly Get Only One Type Of Pokemon And If You Dont Choose A Water Pokemon (Many People Dont) Its Really Hard To Defeat The 1st Gym Leader (They Are All Rock).

    Like In R/B/Y You Have To Stay In The Woods For Like 20 Years Training A Caterpie Evolve Into A Butterfree And Learn Confusion So The Onix And Geodude Could At Least Be Weakend.
     
    in yellow version,if your poke'mon levels are even equal to LT.Surges' it's really hard, especially because they tried to make it like the t.v show, so when pikachu goes aganst raichu,it's really tough and will most likely to beat pikachu...

    same goes for brock....but everybody else is so easy,it aint funny,....it's stupid.....

    Lt. Surge was easy, My level 30 Pikachu beat his Raichu. Although my pikachu had 1 HP left. But that was after I weakened his raichu with charmeleons dig.
     
    When I first chose Charmender, Misty was hell. I coldn't beat her no matter what. And I didn't want to train a picachu because I considered it a waste of time. So I beat it with pure power, I over leveled Charmeleon.
    But from then on, I chose Venusaur as starter, because he has a better moveset in the end, and I passed through the first two gyms like a knife through butter :P. The most difficult one was Sabrina IMO. I had Mr. Mime, Venusaur, Pidgeot and Lapras (which wasn't trained) and her Alakazam started to CM. When he got 6, I thought I was gone for sure, and I pulled out Pidgeot, so he could die too, but Zam died with a Quick Attack (how very lame) I had no problem with the rest of them. The all went out easy with either Psychic attacks (nothing can stop a CMed Psychic) or with super effective attacks.
     
    um...Brock if I start with charmander but after him I've already
    found pokemon to replace the starters so the rest aren't actually a problem.

    none of the gym leaders are a problem if u start with squirtle or bulbasaur.
    'cuz u have access to pokemon that can wipe the floor with any of their pokemon
    if u bother to raise a varied team.
     
    I'd say maybe The last gym leader..which i forgot it's name

    Ughh, Koga and Sabrina, hands down. --;

    But Sabrina was more difficult because my pokemon where weak from battling all the people in her gym cause I was to lazy to go back and heal them. xD
     
    I found all the gym leaders (at least the first five, as I only have five badges) pretty easy, probably because I caught every Pokemon possible in Leaf Green before facing them. Here's what I can say about the Gym Leaders:

    --If you have a Butterfree and/or Mankey, Brock is easy. If you don't, he's the hardest one out there.
    --Misty is so easy, unless you don't have any Grass or Electric Pokemon or all your Pokemon are below level 15.
    --Lt. Surge is in my opinion the hardest gym leader out of the ones described here. I fought against him with an all-Ground team and still found it hard. Raichu spends the beginning of the battle using Double Team six times (or at least he did when my Sandslash was out), so after a while he gets pretty hard to hit. Sure, Voltorb and Pikachu are easy to beat, but Raichu makes the battle hard.
    --Erika is kind of challenging but not too bad. If you have a Psychic, Flying, or Fire-type at at least level 30, you should be OK. (Though I found Erika challenging even though the Pokemon I used against her were Butterfree, Weepinbell, and Beedrill. My Butterfree nearly lost to her Vileplume >.<)
    --Koga is soooooo easy. All you need is a level 35 Kadabra and you're all set. (My level 35 Kadabra KO'd his Koffing and Weezing in one Psychic attack--even Weezing has low Special Defense.) You might want to use a Graveler or something against Muk to be on the safe side--or at least that's what I did.

    I don't know what Sabrina, Blaine, and Giovanni are like... but I am currently worried about Sabrina now... I know that she was tough to beat in Yellow, so I don't know...
     
    The toughest in my opinion is Misty. Ive lost to her the most. Regardless of the game. Whether I have a Bulbasaur or Squirtle. It's because I am very lazy when it comes to training and I dont battle everybody. Yet I still beat the game which is weird.
     
    -I found Erika simple, I always have a Pidgeotto by then, and I had a Vulpix with me too.
    -I always find Misty somewhat hard, even if I do have a Pikachu with me, but I could beat her easily this time because I had a Bellsprout.
    -Lt Surge is a bit hard too, but I had a Sandshrew this time, and their attack is high while Raichu's defence is somewhat low
    -I always find Brock easy, even with a Charmander, because although rocks defence is high, their special defence is never as good so you just have to keep embering them
    -I usually find Giovanni quite easy because I usually have a strong water pokemon by then, I had Blastoise so I just kept Surfing them
    -I usually find Koga and Sabrina the hardest because the only psycic pokemon you can catch at the time is Abra, and I don't like them much. All of Sabrina's pokemon are easy to defeat except Alakazam because it has Psycic and you can't get any dark pokemon at that point in the game.
     
    I would say Lt. Surge and Sabrina are the strongest gym leaders.
     
    Well really, I cruised through leaf green with pokemon you can catch before level 10... I used Pidgey, Charmander, Nidoran F, Magicarp (From the guy in the Pokemon center that ou buy for $500) pikachu, and abra. Now they are all evolved fully and the party is still going strong. I didn't even lose once to a gym leader and never really had to tarin. I only trained in Vicotry road to beat the elete 4 for the second time...
