1st Gen What part annoyed you the most in R/B/Y?

[Danny0317]

Lt. Surge's gym was extremely annoying. I hate it.

 

[Lucky1Yena]

The things that irritated me in R/B/Y were (and still are):

"You missed the Pokémon" even when it's at like, 1 HP and asleep or frozen.

Lt.Surge's gym puzzle. Seriously, the location of the second switch seems completely on a random side to the first switch.

Realizing I'd defeated everyone and couldn't fight any trainers anymore except the Pokémon League.

 

[Purple skies]

I say the hardest part of these games is the power plant I really hate getting pass these parts alone parts

 

[pokefan648]

all the trainers you have to fight like youngster lass hiker etc. its annoying it like theres no way around them. i play pokemon blue at the moment so im tired of doing those fights. i try to be careful and steer (or walk) clear of them.

Pikachu being a starter,
I don't like it.
It just doesn't feel right to me.

I agree with this, I always hated it. Then when you had to head to the Pewter Gym you had to keep grinding your Pikachu in the wild to even stand a chance against him.

 

[Cassandra]

I hated how dominant Psychic types were. They had no good checks or counters back then, so when somebody sent out Alakazam, I knew it was over.

 

[Aeroblast]

Inconvenience in using Bicycle and HM moves such as Cut and Surf.

 

[Whitney's Shaymin]

I have been playing my blue for the last week and my worst part is FREAKING SABRINA!!!!!!!
She keeps spamming my mew with recover!

 

[Tsutarja]

There are many things I could list about First Generation annoyances, but the honorable mention goes to the guards that watch over the gate houses into Saffron City.. if they're so thirsty, then why couldn't they just get the drink themselves?

 

[Hiatus]

Not being able to travel fast was kind of a problem for me, but that was easily fixed as soon as I got my hands on the bicycle. (:

Being poisoned was the thing that troubled me the most. Every time my Pokémon were poisoned, the screen used to become pixelated with some sort of a scary sound effect. This used to make me think that my batteries were running out of power, so I constantly had them replaced with new ones. I've wasted a lot of good batteries that way, haha.

 

[Alloute]

The fact that there was nothing to do after the League aside from completing the Pokedex was really annoying like what was GF thinking? They could've at least added some fun side quests. Also I think the fact that we couldn't rebattle trainers other than the Elite 4 and Champion made training tedious.

 

[lmcde22]

Worst thing for me was the limited bag space. It was tiny!!! Everytime i wanted to use an item i had to withdraw it from the PC :( such a hassle.

 

[Rizardon]

Versing Brock in Yellow with Pikachu and Butterfree when I was a little kid.

 

[ShadowTrainer0151]

The most frustrating thing for me was the Safari Zone. It was always a darn gamble whether or not you would catch any of those Pokémon! Rage.

 

[Negix]

The part that annoyed me the most was going through the Rock Tunnel without Flash to get to Lavender town.

 

[Ari Niko]

Rock Tunnel was terrible! I hate using pointless HMs...

 

[«Chuckles»]

encounter rates and no faster way of transportation till you get a bicycle

Both of these!

I used to get so mad when the screen would do that flashy thing and I could never figure out why my pokemon kept dying.

I thought my Emerald was broken and I was about to return it when one of my Pokémon got poisoned for the first time. I was so confused.

 

[seishiro-san]

Caves D: It was an absolute nightmare with random encounters popping here and there! I also remember avoiding the cemetery, the music of that city itself sort of freaked me out back then for some funny reason.
