(yes modern Pokémon players will know a thousand ways to get an easy win here, but we were once all children who thought we could get away with trading a level 12 Drowzee for Machop without having to train further)
@Bulbagarden I never had trouble with her, but I had a guide to tell what her levels were so overlevelled.
@Bulbagarden I'll never forget this interaction I had a friend once "I didnt struggle against Whitney at all, because I didn't choose Cyndaquil"
@Bulbagarden I mean, when I was a child, I had no trouble. I mean, I picked Cyndaquil and didn’t get the concept of training my other Pokémon, so my overleveled Typhlosion kicked the Miltank’s udders, but still.
@Bulbagarden For GSC, Gastly and Haunter make Whitney a joke. For HGSS, female Heracross. xD
@Bulbagarden F<uuuuuuuuujuuuhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
@Bulbagarden Even as a veteran, she can still be tough! Hilariously, a recent run saw a fair bit of a shambles because my carefully-planned strategy was a bit costly and I low-rolled damage on the finisher - cue Milk Drink. Second time, spammed Rage, Clefairy tried to slap me a lot... I won.
@Bulbagarden Even as a kid I didn’t struggle too much vs her cuz bayleef can just poison stall when needed. I had much more difficulty vs the first two leaders, mostly cuz I chose the grass type
