In vidya history, no, in Pokemon history, yes. She only actually filtered people who chose cyndaquil and used pretty much nothing else, she was an easy clap for totobros and chikochads.
The thing is whitney's miltank became a big meme so idiot normies who have no original thoughts just parrot what they hear, regardless of whether they actually played the game or not.

Isn't it a female Machop, as well?
If they really wanted to make Whitney difficult, they would have given her a Girafarig so she could body anyone trying to cheese her gym with Fighting, Ghost, or Rock types.

Even then, with Cyndaquil you could just Spam SmokeScreen (not the most elegant solution but Quilava should be fast enough to pull it off)

No, her Miltank is legitimately tough for the point in the game where you fight it unless you take the female machop trade and shitstomp it.

No. Whitneyshills are retarded, but there are still people who shit themselves over Cynthia when she was slightly more difficult than the rest of her easy as shit game. And the sheer numbers of Redditor cumming in their pants and screaming that they're in for the fight of their life when Red comes at them with a gang of shitters led by literally a Pikachu is just embarrassing.

No. And the argument in Pokemon is a bit different. It's not like unlike the kids who had trouble fighting Brock the first time: what you're up against when you battle Whitney isn't like what you've had to deal with up to that point. Her team has good STAB damage, an actual strategy to debilitate your Pokemon, Miltank can self-heal, and it can put you in a position where if you don't stop it from going off, it could almost literally snowball over your team.

Is Whitney hard to beat? No. But she's a wake-up call for a lot of people due to the sudden shift in fucks you need to be giving.

I really only had trouble doing damage to her Miltank with Drowzee because of how obese that thing is at that point of the game. Other than that, hypnosis and disable completely shuts it down and then it's just a matter of having someone with enough damage to take care of it.
Or you could just trade for Machop and unga bunga her gym.

sans was a touhou check so it isn't surprising zoomers would get filtered
riku 2 (or whichever one it was called) could wreck your shit on proud if you don't prep for it. fucker is immune to magic and even auto-counters it so stafffags would get a sudden wakeup call. that said, speedrunniggas found loops on him after a couple years

dark souls in general is a bit of a meme however

It has t do with location and Johto design. Johto has a shit pool of mons to use and the only thing super against normal is fighting. Th issue is most people faced her as a kid and as kids most do not know about the Machop trade. Most not all b/c some anon fag will barge in saying he did it well good for them.

Even with that the issue is Milktank is bulky especially at that stage in the game and its moveset is unforgiving. Milk Drink to heal itself if you get it down. Attract to force swap o make you gamble your moves on fate. Stomp which has stab and a flinch chance, and then Rollout. A move terrifying at that point since the first turn is not that bad but second and third will fuck you up to say nothing about the fourth and fifth. And honestly that makes her somewhat good. That moveset feels almost too good for what GF usually comes up with as that set has a lot of strategy in gen 2 terms behind it.

Doesn't that rival fight kill a lot of speedruns? I think it's fair to call something difficult if it causes problems even for people who are playing optimally.

its fights like those rival fights (gens 1-6) which are meant to filter you into using pokemon besides your starter (other examples: the trials in alola and gyms in swsh with the grass/fire/water type trio, the first gym in bw, the trainers school teacher, specifically in usum)
>>47607173
it kills speedruns because theyre using only one or two pokemon, that isnt playing optimally, just optimally in terms of speed

If you played the game blind on release, there was a good chance you coasted up until you faced her Miltank's Rollout. Only zoomers pretend that it's a myth/meme.
