Obviously Tate and Liza, they annoyed me to no end in RSE. I usually find Norman to be a bit of an annoyance if his Pokemon get that slight upper hand. Especially Spinda, hated that thing. Wallace's entire team is always annoying, mainly Ludicolo and Milotic.

Norman. His Slaking are really hard to defeat, even when I have a Fighting type on my party.

Strangely, my solution to beat them is to be sick when battling them. Works a treat and I have a hundred percent success rate using it.

For me, Flannery and Norman are the most annoying. I always start with Treecko, so I never have a good water type to take down that stupid Torkoal. And Norman's Slakings are the most obnoxious things in the world.

Brawly: His Makuhita was too much to handle at the 2nd gym
Phoebe: Dusclops and Banettes were annoying to take out
Steven: When I was playing Sapphire when I was like 8 my team was always so underleveled for the E4 but I battled them and once I got to Steven, It was over for me.

For some reason I hate the Psychic twins. The first time I played Emerald, they were really hard, and I had to try time and again to beat them. Every time after that, when I played Sapphire or restarted Emerald, they were super easy.
I also don't like Wallace. He's snobby, and (in Sapphire) doesn't even thank you for saving the world, and he replaced Steven. Steven, who is way awesomer than him.

Roxanne, even though she was the first gym leader. Probably since I had Torchic for me, and I didn't bother to catch any other Pokemon at the time. But after that the leaders were a blur.
The hardest Elite Four member was Phoebe, because her Dusclops kept using Protect. And Wallace was pretty challenging, but I forgot why though.

Voted "Tate and Liza" through "Phoebe." I'll just go through why I find each one annoying:
- Tate and Liza: Do we have two U.S. presidents?
- Juan: Replaced Wallace. Cliche flamboyant, egocentric French guy.
- Sidney: Little personality; doesn't seem to have much appreciation for the Dark type.
- Phoebe: Constantly using Curse and Protect. Whenever I bring out my Rayquaza, Salamence, or Flygon to finish her off in one hit before she can heal her Duskull, it somehow goes first and uses Ice Beam, and there I go.

Well... for me in R/S/E none were actually tough. Maybe cause I always overtrain. XD

Norman; dat Slaking. He was harder in Ruby and Sapphire than in Emerald. Brawly was just amazingly hard. >: and so was Liza and Tate, in Emerald.
For the champion it was Wallace. Steven was so easy to defeat, Blaziken could handle it on it's own; but then Emerald came around and made Wallace champion. Milotic and Wailord. FUUUUU.

I'm guessing anybody who dislikes Wallace used Thunder on his Whiscash...
I dislike Tate and Liza, but only because my Pokemon were underleveled. In my most current Emerald Playthrough I used Rayquaza for the Elite Four.

For me it was definitely Norman. I played the game together with a friend some months ago, and since I had a fighting move it wasn't as hard for me as usually, but my friend was struggling so bad! I also think Wattson is annoying, not because of the battle, but because I associate him with that mission you had to do against team Aqua/Magma, because he gave it to you.
