>>33026867Well, as a kid I might be misremembering some, but here I go.
I wasn't as interested in Charmander as everyone else. I always liked Bulbasaur because my mom did too. Brock and Misty were easy for me. Surge wasn't tough. Erika was handled fairly easily.
Dead fucking stop. It took me weeks to get passed Koga's gym. "but he's not tough retar-"
Well, I didn't realize you could save anywhere (yeah I know) and I thought you couldn't save in buildings. So I would save outside the gym. Run inside. take. For. EVER clearing the maze. and then fight Koga. Lose. And start outside.
Eventually I figured out that I should go, beat ALL the trainers, go outside. Heal. Save. Then go inside and try to get to Koga through those fucking walls. EVENTUALLY I beat the guy. Sabrina was literally the same shit. I'd learned my lesson about clearing the gym then saving outside. But I couldn't think out the warp puzzles and just walked into them randomly until I got to her. Would lose. Restart.
Blane was easy because I had a Water type by this point and I'd mastered clearing gyms before saving outside and his puzzle was easy to walk through after the fact. Giovanni was more or less the same.
I wont go through all the leaders in G/S/C, but like most kids who didn't pick the Machop trade or had an Onix/Geodude I struggled. I also only wanted to use new Pokemon, so I had a Quilava, Hoothoot, Sentret, Spinarak, and Togepi at the first time I fought her. All male. No fighting moves. Tough fight. I remember my strat to this day.
Fought Whitney. Lead with Togepi. Killed Clefairy, lost to Miltank. Tossed out Spinarak, used scary face until i died to roll out. Sentret used rock smash until it died. Tossed out quilava. Rock smash till it died too and then tossed out Hoothoot and used Peck to try and knock out a slowed and weakened defense Miltank with PECK and Mud slap.
It took me a bit before I finally got enough -def bonuses and accuracy downs to win.
