i would say teambuilding in general
my child brain ignored type diversity and stats, like having multiple of the same type as long as it looked cool, and putting physical moves on a special attacker

Not him, but changing direction twice in a row is almost impossible on emulators. The controls are fucking garbage for that puzzle.

FUUUCK this gay cave. I remember being stuck at the entrance for days because I couldn't figure out how to make the stupid fucking rocks move. Granted I was ESL and retarded so I might have skipped over crucial instructions. I think it was one particular rock, actually. It wouldn't move out of the fucking way no matter how much I pushed it, and I'm PRETTY sure it was a perspective thing, so it wasn't immediately obvious.

Same shit happened to me at the Dreamyard, there was this spot I didn't know I could access because there was this bridge overhead. Fuck these wannabe 3D ass games.

Rock Tunnel. Didn't know about Flash and my english was pretty rudimentary back then. I eventually found my way since back in RBY the dark cave effect was different and you could see some walls.

Victory Road in FRLG had me stuck for a few days as a kid, I tried standing on the circles and nothing happened, took me a while to realise that boulders were more than just obstacles to move out of the way.

Also the Snorlax/Pokemon tower had me stuck for a while but only because I was too scared to go back after my first several attempts to scare away the ghost with my Charizard, and I didn't realise that the Silph Scope would let me go further.

Nothing, because I wasn't a retard. And that's despite me playing Pokémon Red - the most obtuse game - in English, which isn't my native language. Didn't have a gameboy though so I also had to figure out how emulators work on my own as an 8 year old.

Most people are literally retarded compared to me and I hate them all.

Thought the fossils at the end of Mt Moon in a Leaf Green were just weird rocks and didn’t know how to progress because I couldn’t read. Months later a friend told me how to continue and I swept Misty with a level 70 Blastoise trained solely in Mt Moon. I got stuck in the E4 at 93. I traded it for a lower leveled Blastoise because I thought skipping turns to recharge after certain moves was happening because it was getting old and slow, thinking they probably die at 100. I didn’t finish the postgame for another 5 years.

The postgame because apparently every game my parents bought me was a bootleg and the saves always got wiped after e4. I thought i was just really unlucky and that my pokemon hated me for being a bad trainer and that's why it was happening.

>pic related
I was 7 years old. The only thing in my team above level 40 was my Lv. 100 Swampert (affectionately named Samus) with Blizzard, Brick Break, Rock Smash and Mud Shot. Not that it wasn't strong enough to wipe out the e4, it just didn't have enough PP and kept struggling itself to death. I didn't want to use TMs or HMs to change up my moves because I didn't want to lose them.
Gave it to my older cousin and he just used an elixir midway through. I thought he was a magician.

I think there's a simple answer - as kids, we just didn't understand them, or maybe we didn't want to take the effort to understand them.
I didn't read or learn anything about stats or STAB, I didn't know anything about move power (I just picked 4 moves that sounded cool), and I sure as hell didn't know anything about items. I don't remember much about my gen 3 playthroughs as a kid but I'm pretty sure I just always went to the PC instead of using any healing items.

Never saw this screen when I fist played pokemon as a child.
I couldn't get past the old man because I probably barely had reading comprehension and didn't understand the concept of backtracking since I only really played super mario bros on NES.
It kind of makes me understand why they make the games piss easy and handholdy for children. Some kids are going to be retarded like I was.
