I was lost in pearl for a long time bc I didn& #39;t know how to find spear pillar and had to look up a guide online to be able to beat the game

Also I just made my sister play through twist mountain on black for me lol https://twitter.com/MAGNEDETH/status/1158703987283124224">https://twitter.com/MAGNEDETH...

I played blue on virtual console earlier this year and am extremely fortunate to have done so in the age of the internet and smartphones because I had to constantly look up walkthroughs for most of the dungeons

silph co was the most frustrating

also I completely missed catching a nidoran and getting the dream eater tm early on so I had to do some backtracking later

while I& #39;m bringing this thread back, idk if this counts but while I& #39;m usually able to steamroll the league pretty quickly I kept losing to the johto elite four and lance over and over in hg for about a month and it got to the point where I dreaded booting up the game

I did finally beat lance after god knows how much trial and error but man. the johto level scaling fucked me over.

losing a lot was disheartening but I kinda had to let it happen so I& #39;d get the money and experience to continue
