As the title says, I would like to know it and why. Though I know the majority of Pokemon fans hated Whitney and her Milktank from Gen II.

My favourite is probably the twins, Liza & Tate, I think.

My least favourite is that silly cowboy from Gen 5. In addition to having a personality I rather didn't like, he also proved to be no challenge to me at all :/

Well, to me, they never seem to defend their badge, and sent player home crying.

Mauville was ridiculous unless you had mudkip because every pokemon up to that point was grass/normal

Gardenia was a nightmare in Platinum since I picked Piplup and hadn't really leveled anything else, until I trained a Noctowl. Which is strange since I don't think I had nearly as much trouble in Diamond.

I like them all, yet my favourite is Blue in Soul Silver. Great challenge since he didn't just stick to one type.

I used to hate Brock in the game when I was a kid (I think I was 8 at the time) mostly cause I loved Charmander and all the pokemon were either normal or bug up to his gym so he proved to be quite a challenge it took me forever to beat him. xD

I haven't played Pokemon in years since the last GBA game which I think was Emerald and I don't really remember the rest of the gym leaders well past gen I.

My favs were Giovanni, Sabrina, and Erika.

Worst? All of the ones from Kalos, they suck

Some peeps found Liz and Tate difficult. Just wiped them out with a single Surf. Easiest Gym Leaders I've faced ever

The one that gave me the hardest time was Misty since that Starmie was fast as fuck and hit like a truck and had recover, and could absorb hits. Fuck that thing. Whitney was pretty difficult too, but that has a lot to do with how Johto's mon selection is absolute shit. Doesn't help that my bro Cyndaquil couldn't do a damn thing against that blobby cow and got stomp and rolled into oblivion. Didn't know about the tradeable Machop in Goldenrod's dept store till after I was through with the ordeal.

Also Clair was pretty damn hard. More then a little uncreative though, with the three Dragonairs and all

Norman wasn't too tough. Thankfully Marshtomp learns protect via level up

Better hope you have something with Protect before Norman's Slakings ride their bicycle of nightmares up your ass. Imagine if that monstrosity wasn't affected by Truant.

Man I miss the old gen gym leaders. I could understand why you guys hated the twins and whitney for being hard, but I miss the challenge now. I miss being a kid ignorant of ivs and natures and had fun playing the game. Now the game is so ridiculously easy, I make my pokemon lower level than everyone else.

I like all the hot chicks.
Blaine was also pretty cool, gramps had style. Drayden is kind of cool too I guess, but I can never wrap my head around whatever he has covering his mouth. Is it a extremely strange beard? Some kind of white coloured iron gob? Surgically remodelled jaw? I don't even.

Beside that, I don't really care about them.

I can really only remember the original game's leaders, though I've played a fair amount of the others.

Least: Sabrina. Just because it was really freaking annoying to find her.

Favorite: Misty. Just because that level 21 Starmie was a good challenge at that point in the game due to its level and the fact that Starmie is an end game viable pokemon from that generation.

Guess.

Elesa from Black and White. Preferably of her Black and White 2 outfit, but I'll take either. I also hate Brawly from Gen 3 because he's basically the surfer bro aesthetic and has no redeemable qualities

My favorite is definitely Natsume/Sabrina from the first generations. I love psychics type, and that one episode of Pokemon where she was turning Ash/Satoshi and the others as doll was so freaky I loved her even more :D Plus the way she was ''defeated'' was fun :D

I don't really dislike any. I guess that one old dude I don't remember what game he's from with the poison/insect pokemons. Just because I dislike insect and poison is just annoying <_<

Brock is an asshole to charmander lovers and anyone unfortunate enough to have bought Yellow.

Bertha from the E4 in platinum had a whole bunch of ground/x types, including a ground/flying and several ground/waters. Immune to electricity, which is also one of the only things it's weak to.

Fortunately I love ice pokemon so I had ways around that, but she's still a bitch of a gym leader to fight if you don't happen to have some ice attacks ready to go.

From the same game, Cynthia is a badass and it's great to not be up against your rival after beating the E4 for once.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that.

fav is a three-way tie between gen II misty, morty and sabrina. honourable mention for blue and jasmine.

the first three gym leaders you face in black and white are the worst imo, that was the first time i felt like my hand was being held in a pokemon game and i hated it.

Flannery is best gym leader. Her fiery hot attitude and body plus her top tier taste in Pokemon types makes her the best.

Can't think of any I hate though.

Easily my favorite is Blue (The one everyone thinks is Gary from the anime) when he is the 8th gym leader in Heart golf when you return to Kanto and you learn he did lose to Red as the champion so stepped down to become a leader! I just love the plot behind it and hes a very strong trainer of course.

Least favorite is Whitney because of the God Damn Miltank

Always loved Brock in Pokemon Yellow because of how challenging he is if you're a kid and all you know how to do is Pikachu.

I battled him like 50 times using my pikachu until i finally got lucky and quick attack'd his onix to death.

Giovanni is awesome for dat lawful evil

never really appreciated misty, erika or blaine because they're too easy to curb stomp.

You answered already :/

Don't really have a favourite though. Maybe Lt. Surge because he's so easy to defeat.

Weird, my Pikachu always had Slam by the time I reached Brock, so I never had problems with him as a kid. The only childhood nightmares were two gym leaders: Whitney and Miltank, and Liza and Tate. Both are easy now, but they sure where challenging back when I was young.

Favorite gym leader? Roxie!


And Arti for TV show bias (sorry he's voiced by Toru Furuya, can't help it).

Favourite is Brock, because he destroys the boring scrubs who pick charmander.

Least favourite is Burgh, because he's a disgrace to bug pokemon.

Never understood this. You can catch mankey just outside Viridian City, makes Brock a complete pushover. And Charmander learns Iron Tail fairly quickly too.
