Hardest PKMN Gym Leader/E4/Champion

[Dr. Javelin]

Yep, so if you're between 50 and 60 you're pretty much screwed.

The generation 5 Pokemon pretty much bring back that overleveled dilemma. Hydreigon is a perfect example, since you can't have one that's under level 64.

Overleveled?

In generation V all Pokemon get brought to level 50, even if they're lower. So there isn't a problem.

That's good to hear. Ironically, I don't even own the Black or White versions.

Gym Leader:Gardenia in platinum (ONLY because I chose Piplup. It was the Cherrim that always got me. I WAS FOOLED BY YOUR CUTENESS CHERRIM. WHY THIS?!) Whitney's Miltank only annoyed me because of MILK DRINK. The gym leaders never really posed a problem for me in most games.
E4:Hmmmm.....I can't really remember who was hard, because although there Pokemon can be annoying, none of the ones I faced were ever really memorable.
Champion:Lance. By Far. Alder was damn easy, Cynthia's Milotic AND WATER ABSORB were the only really bad things, but LANCE HAS GYARADOS, AERODACTYL AND THREE UNDERLEVELED DRAGONITES. I TRUSTED YOU TYPHLOSION. WHY!?
...Mostly because Gyarados spams Waterfall, Aerodactyl spams rock slide, and I only got to the first dragonite. GAH.

Well, you could capture a Zubat or Starly.

This is kinda embarrassing, but my first time playing FireRed, I lost to Misty even though Bulbasaur was my starter.

@ Master Koopakid

Hardest gym leader is sadly for me is Brock. Thats because I chose Charmanders and well nothing else at that point appealed to me. Its only for Gen 1 and its remakes. Gen 2 and its remakes was like this.
3 Water types One fighting, one flying ,one pure.
A grass type a defensive Normal Type and a Flying slave. :3

Brock was a lot harder in Pokemon Yellow. In this game, your starter was Pikachu, and all of its electric moves had no effect on Brock's Geodude and Onix. The only thing you could do with Pikachu was to get it to learn Quick Attack to do some damage (very minimal though). Otherwise, your best hopes were to catching the wild Pokemon (like Nidoran) to help you defeat Brock.

I kicked ass in FireRed.

I even defeated all of misty's pokémon with a level 28 charmeleon.

I overleveled the Pika.
:3
I spamed Reflect and Tail Whip I think. Then Quick Attacked the Onix and Geodude. I also stocked up on a bunch of potions. :D

 

[Propeller Toad]

I used to spam Pikachu all the time for (that is until I discovered about Nidoran's Double Kick). Good times of having Pikachu, Caterpie, Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran male, and Nidoran female taking turns to defeating Brock. Potions? I never bothered with them when I was little (I did not realize how useful they were back in the day).

Also reflect? I think you mean growl or double team because I don't remember Pikachu ever being able to learn reflect on level up (let alone at a low level). Pikachu was a bad match up to Brock; however, he made Misty's battle look like a piece of cake. Also Lt.Surge's Raichu was no match for Pikachu as well (I think I taught Pikachu Mega Punch from Mt.Moon's TM to counter attack Raichu's Mega Kick).

Since I've only played White, I'd have to say Cynthia. She's horribly easy but I haven't fought Alder yet. Still training.

are you serious


Nonetheless, I'll have to say Clair, with Whitney and Jasmine close behind. I'll also add that I've never got past Lance, yet...
