    I can't even remember what my exact team was.. *checks first Hall of Fame*

    Err, I used a Swampert, Seviper, Tropius, Walrein, Camerupt, and Manectric back then. Cool, I actually won with that team. XD

    The hardest parts for me Brawly(never get a flying/psychic I like in time), Flying gym(aerial ace and dargon breth XO), and E4 such high leveled pokemon. But hardest part for me is that I get bored and start over or I want a new team so the hard part is stopping myself form starting over.

    The second hardest part for me was the Elite Four in Emerald.My team against e4 first time i battled them was Blaziken (level 72), Sandslash (level 65), Celebi (level 68), Swellow (level 69), Gyarados (level 65), and Flygon (level 71).And i lost.

    My next team against the e4 was Blaziken (level 90), Sandslash (level 83), Swellow (level 81), Gyarados (level 80), Flygon (level 84), and Sneasal (level 84).I lost again, but i forgot to stock up on items like revives and full restores.So i bought needed items and fought them again.I then won.

    My hardest part in Emerald is now catching Lugia and Ho-oh.I have all the needed stuff, but they are fainting when my pokemon score a critical hit.Now, i'm training a Scyther to get their heal to 1 without fainting them.

    My hardest times in Ruby were facing Tate & Liza.I lost once, then got a Sharpedo and the evolution of Cacnea and i beat Tate and Liza.My second hardest part was defeating Flannery.Almost all my pokemon were male, so because of attract, her pokemon were able to use sunny day and overheat to faint my pokemon.I also had trouble with Norman, his pokemon always use either facade, or body slam.Then when my pokemon are paralized, Norman's pokemon always use focus punch.

    Norman. He was sooo hard to beat. (R/S, I mean) There was one time where Slaking health was only one, and same thing with my Swellow, but I ended up losing! I defeated him and Winona on my 9th b-day.

    I didn't have much of a problem with Sapphire, actually. By the time the game was out, I was a veteran to the Pokemon series, so I was in the game instantly, choosing the right movesets and Pokemon...

    I had a feeling I was going to be underleveled when I reached the E4...I'm usually always underleveled, that's a bad habit of mine. Anyway, when I first reached the E4, my strongest Pokemon was at Level 52, which meant I was obviously going to be slaughtered...

    I was actually able to keep myself up...until I reached Glacia. When I thought I had her, she up and used Sheer Cold...on my last Pokemon. I lost horribly, and went to train my Pokemon all the way to level 65 before challenging the E4 again...

    It had a serious ice weakness >(

    It was sort of the same thing here. All my Pokemon (except Kyogre) had some type of weakness to ice. I thought I had it set, with Kyogre, the rain, and a Thunder in Kyogre's moveset...when Walrein used Sheer Cold. And, just my luck, it happened to hit...I was devastated.

    One word. Flannery.

    She was HELL. I had my Sceptile... and no other pokemon. That didn't help poor Sceppy. I got killed many times. Until I finally got a few critical hits in. :/

    The e4 was a joke. :( ... thanks to Kyogre that is. >_>

    well the hardest part for me was the elite four, especially the specialist of the ghost type.
    that was a hard part for me...but it didnt take too long...
    and also finding friends with a GBA , a cable link and the pokemons or I didnt choose...or catch... that was REALLY the hardest part.
