>>18019359Whitney gave me so much trouble as well, she was literally the first gym leader that forced me to grind.
I also played it in japanese with an emulator at the time because it wasn't out in the US yet, so I had to try to interpret what symbols meant I should be really scared. Which made fighting Jasmine intense. I scrambled for what to use against her because I usually learn about types through trial and error rather than researching, and I had no fire/fighting type so Jasmine felt invincible to me. Everything was not very effective, I found out Totodile could defeat Steelix through pure luck. I didn't realise it was part ground, the magnemites threw me off.
