It took me 30 minutes to set up X-Items so I could solo Lance with my last mon left alive.I think getting Dratini itself should be considered a hard NPC because the Voltorb Flip Game is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE
On a related note, Whitney is hard if you're playing and don't realize Miltank has Scrappy. Or that your Geodude is only level 16, and that's just not good enough against flinchhax.
Or basically every single available Pokémon besides Onix.
It took me 15 minutes to get 2100 Coins in the Game Corner.
The first time I played through HG entirely I beat Red on the first try with a lv. 55 Ho-Oh.THANK YOU. Seriously, I get so annoyed with the "Whitney's Miltank" circlejerk. If you have a Geodude (which you should, it's pretty good at this point in the game), then you win.
And seriously, no one in this entire thread has mentioned Red?
