Rock Tunnel. No other part in the game comes close at all. For some reason I never bothered to use Flash, and even after going through it in dozens of play-throughs and memorizing every rock of it, it was still hell for me. Besides Lorelei (probably misspelled) of the elite four, it's the only part of the game that I actually disliked.
 
Rock Tunnel, I hate using HM's on Pokemon because they can't lose them. >_>
 
Rock Tunnel, trying to get past Vermillion City, couldn't figure out how to get out of that place.
 
Easily the worst thing is being in a cave/pokemon tower/where you get the secret key in Cinnabar or w/out any repels.

Please note that I'm writing from my six year old perspective. So if I say something is hard, it's not hard for me anymore. So don't think I still struggle with any of these hard parts, lol.

Mt. Moon and Rock Tunnel
For some reason, I could never find my way through either caves. My heart would start racing whenever I saw the exit, too.

Brock on Yellow
I was six at the time and I haven't played Yellow since, and I didn't know that Mankey or Nidoran had a type advantage over rock. So I spent almost all of my time grinding south of Pewter until Pikachu knew Quick Attack. Once then, I'd pray for my battle against Brock. I don't remember ever getting past Lt. Surge, though.

GARY MOTHER****ING OAK
Although now it doesn't bother me, as I know when he appears at all times, but when I was younger, I wasn't entirely sure when or where. And usually my favourite thing to do was explore the area before doing what I was supposed to be doing. So naturally, Gary would come up when I least expected him, destroying my weakened team.

The Silph Co.
I've always hated the Team Rocket parts the most. It just drags on. Walk for a little bit, then fight a Rocket Grunt. And the puzzles were mindnumbingly difficult when I was six. Now they're easy, but repetitive. :/

Sabrina and Lt. Surge's Gym
I'm sure a lot of other people hate these gyms too. Pretty much any gym with a random puzzle seems to get on my nerves, but these two take the cake. It took me at least an hour to figure out how to open Lt. Surge's door, and even longer to get to Sabrina and fight her, then to get out.

Surfing anywhere
I've always detested surfing. It's not that it's hard to do, but... Wild TENTACOOL appeared! Over and over and over again.

The relentlessly long routes that are packed with trainers
Usually it seems really long when my team is weakened, though.

One hit KOs
Especially when you're at full life your opponent gets a critical hit.

Trainers who use recovery items
I know it's a valid strategy, but it still sucks, bringing a Pokémon down to it's knee. The feeling of having victory taken away for a few turns is annoying. "You're just postponing the inevitable, Mr. Oak!"

This is the only appropriate image I have with Gary >_> He always messed me up- JK. I beat his ass everytime. *trollface*
 
For me, It would have to be the "Rock Tunnel" because it seemed more like a "Victory Road" type deal plus, right after I got out, I had to be greeted with creepy music.. Not the best experience.
 
In like 2001 when I started playing, I didn't know anything where to go or what to do.

So you can imagine me in Saffron Gym & Silph. Co D: It was a nightmare. My good Ol' brother helped me; basically, in Generation 1 it would have to be the Team Rocket in Saffron city that annoyed me, and in Generation 2 it has to be the Team Rocket in Goldenrod City v_v Although I do love TR :3
 
Another thing that annoyed me - I had no idea how to save for weeks. I had to restart the game so many times and I'd leave my gameboy on so I didn't have to restart. At some point I figured out trying to cut the bush in Viridian City would save the game once, so I got to save at that point.

Then I finally hit start and saw there was a save feature. After that everything was smooth sailing.
 
Sabrina's gym. Hated it. I actually managed to do Surge first time =S.
 
Safari Zone. That place still annoys the crap out of me. I'd be fine just going in, getting Surf and the Gold Teeth and going back out; it's catching all the damn Safari Zone-only Pokemon (which is far too many) that really pisses me off.
