Did people really find this battle difficult?

All you need to do is status her Miltank twice.

"OMG WHITNEY'S MILTANK" is a meme from over two decades ago. It's dated as hell with how accessible information for these games are now, so almost nobody is having trouble with her; especially if you played another Pokemon game, she's not going to give you issues.

That's all you need to know. Anything that deviates from "spam A with your overleveled starter out" is hard for Pokemon players, because the games never conditioned them to use strategy to get through anything, so it's jarring when there's an obstacle that can't be beaten by lowest common denominator inputs.
The totems in gen 7 caused even more of a reaction, and don't get me started on Ultra Necrozma.

spamming A with your starter actually makes the fight incredibly easy because by then your starter should be lv26-31 and you can just 2HKO both her Pokemon. The people who think she’s hard are the mouthbreathers who think training a balanced team of 6 the entire game is a good idea and they have a party of lv14-18 shitmons that all easily get swept.

Yep, but do keep in mind:

1) It is usually the GS variation people bitched about rather then HGSS.
2) Average age of Fanbase was lower (for obvious reasons) and the internet was not accessible to everyone freely (and was rife with misinformation) so chances was the kid went in blind not knowing what to expect.
3) Arcane Ass Gen 1/2 Mechanics meant said kids had ideas like "Buffing/Debuffing is just a waste of a turn".

It's a Meme that is a product of its time more then anything.

Your definition of "not grinding" is battling all trainers only, some say it's minimum battles, other people say it's battling every Pokemon they come across normally, some people will do everything like Pokeathlon before moving on etc. As autistic as it sounds, it really is that complicated.

I’m sorry you don’t know what grinding is.

Notice how your own definition says “repeating an action or set of actions”? Notice how I said “battle each trainer EXACTLY ONCE”? Put 2 and 2 together, I’m sure even your < 50 IQ brain will figure it out.

I beat her with just my Quilava when I was like 6, she beat me once then I spammed smokescreen the next time. You shouldn’t lose with any other starter

The fuck is this? Repels are a waste of money unless I'm trying to filter encounter levels (cause you can just run) and trainers award cash upon defeat, which I need to buy Pokeballs and recovery items. Battling trainers is playing the game normally.

When I was around 7 or so, I steamrolled Sapphire with Blaziken and used the daycare to level up an Aron and Trapinch I had caught. Only ended up using Blaziken/Aggron/Flygon by the end of the game, with a water type for hm usage.

Doinf thatvin general is a itself a cancer on the zeitgeist regarding these gems.
NPCs are not human players. You arent meant to match them in level.
Youre meant to be underleveled. But of course, if you cant just mash A on your SE move to 1shot, Pokefagsbthink something is wrong, all the while wondering why newer games seem too easy.

Choosing Chikorita nets you the easiest time in the early to midgame because then Silver has no check against Geodude, which wrecks house with Rock Throw and Magnitude all the way to Olivine. Once you hit Goldenrod you can swap Rock Throw for Rollout, it learns Defense Curl naturally by then, and then you've got a multitude of options.

Unless you worked in an import shop or were a military brat it was not very likely you were playing a Japanese version of Gold/Silver in 1999 outside of Japan. But the ROMs was very common, it's a bit like how Japanese Gen II cards (real or stickers) were circulating well before they were released outside Japan.

If you pick Cyndaquil, Silver has Croconaw at Azalea Town. If you pick Totodile, he has Bayleef at Azalea. Both will check Geodude, while his other Pokemon are weak to it. Pick Chikorita and he has Quilava, which dies to Magnitude or Rock Throw.

Depending on where you where Roms could easily be available earlier, like my schoolyard had floppies with a Viatmenese Crystal Tier bootleg Rom of Gold and a Gameboy Emulator on them being traded around like months before Gold and Silver actually had their release. Shit took fucking ages to come over back then, especially for Europeans, i thin GS took like almost a year and a half for them on the top of my head. Thank fuck Global Releases gotten increasingly standardized these days.

Holy fuck, this is autism. How many Pokeballs do you need? After your team is full, why do you need more? "Muh Pokedex"? Autism
Besides, your starter will solo most Pokemon games, you barely need anything else, aside from HM slaves in older gens.
Also, using recovery items is incorrect gameplay. Have you EVER played another RPG before? The whole point is to not use them, retard.
Stop playing Pokemon incorrectly. Retards like you are why we now have forced XP share. Because you are too inept to play like a normal person.
