Warp panels, maybe? Eh not really. Pokemon doesn't really have much challenges involving player movement.

>>59675521I guess certain currents or winds you need to send you places.
>>59675521Pokemon barely has any gameplay
Using toxic on an enemy Gliscor
>>59675521Closest thing - and this would be a stretch - would be Pokemon Coliseum which was developed by a much smarter team, was at the final boss his team hard countered the legendary beasts. So, if you ran those and trained nothing else, you were given a much harder time.Otherwise yeah, only gen 1 / FRLG Voltorb lightly inconveniencing the player
This is more applicable to romhacks.>Ohoho it seems you have previous knowledge of type matchups and/or gyms, in this clever subversion of expectations the Pokemon you are fighting is specifically designed to counter baitmon we set for the player just before the fight that would seemingly be a good matchup
>>59675521Ultra Necrozma i suppose
>>59675521In Gen 1, using the TM for Psychic on your Butterfree bricks your entire save file even though Butterfree is your strongest party member at that point in the game. In the inverse of this, the TM for Return that Rowan gives you at the start of Platinum is best used on your starter or Starly immediately instead of saving it for later like every other TM in existence. In Gen 3, there is not enough experience available in the early game to raise a full team of six effectively unless you slam on the brakes to grind wild encounters. Playing with just three or four mons instead of maxing out your party size will allow you to keep up with the level scaling with zero grinding required all the way up until Mauville when you can finally start working with a full deck. Gen 5's experience boost for mons that could evolve but haven't yet plus Eviolite means that some mons like Munchlax can be stronger than their evolved stages.In the Legends series, if there's a mon you want to train, you need to first catch it then ignore it and then farm the area for an Alpha to show up that will almost be guaranteed to be superior.
Gen 5
>>59675574>there is not enough experience available in the early gameisn't this also true for other games < gen 6? Tho I never played gen 1 or 2
>>59675529this and the flee-some roaming legendaries
>>59675574>In Gen 1, using the TM for Psychic on your Butterfree bricks your entire save file even though Butterfree is your strongest party member at that point in the game.qrd?
>>59675521My love for Pokemon brought me great joy and as an ironic twist of events alienated me from my peers
>>59675640before gen 5, TMs are single useand some aren't renewable at all, forcing you to start new saves to teach them againyou get 1 psychic TM in saffron cityby that point you'll amost certainly have something better that can learn it (and of the ones that have STAB on it, kadabra, alakazam, slowpoke, slowbro, drowzee, and hypno learn it via levelup so it's arguably a waste on those too)
>>59675521>>59675547This. Like giving every water Pokemon in a water gym Ice Beam or a ground move.
The closest thing (and it's a very toned down version for little Timmy) would be obtaining your starter's Z-Crystal right before totem Mimikyu, to bait you into wasting your Z-Move on DisguiseI took the bait on my first run
>>59675521that one npc trade for an unevolving haunter
>>59675521Guts doubles ATK of burned Pokemon.Same with Quick Feet and Paralisis.Wooba and Pyukumuku are designed to shit on players that blindly use their strongest attacks.
>>59675657thats a hell of a stretch. i couldnt fathom still having butterfree on my team by saffron even if i was going out of order for whatever reason unless that reason was a solo butterfree run or i had really shit luck in a nuzlocke
>>59675632Yeah pretty much every game before Gen 6 is like this.>>59675683I hated that. Wasn't it discovered that the trade was never gonna evolve due to a bug and the devs decided to give it an everstone?
>>59675549
>>59675521Pokemon would have to have any difficulty, forced or otherwise, in the actual game (not "competitive" autism) for this comparison to work.
>>59675521I just remembered! If you try to trap Entei, Raikou, or Suicune with Mean Look or Shadow Tag in their appearance in Fire Red & Leaf Green, they'll use Roar to delete themselves from existence because getting Roar'd counts as the player running away from the encounter. In GSC, trying this same trick by putting them to Sleep reveals the sacred beasts are notorious sleepwalkers.
>>59675657"brick" is quite an exaggeration. My original Red team from 98 didn't have a single Psychic learner.
>>59675521>ctrl + v: "Cynthia">no results for the BW Cynthia housethat too
>>59675521>
On the route to fight Elesa you pass through the desert resort where at least one npc recommends that you catch a ground type for the upcoming battle, only for her ace to be Emolga, an electric/flying type
>>59675521the entire pokemon clover
>>59676516Elesa's ace is Zebstrika.
>>59676488I just replayed the game recently and did not remember that Haunter trade at all; I got so fucking mad.
