times you actually were challenged in pkmn

In Pokemon Blue, I lost to Gary some times because I'm lame.  

First (and last lol) playthrough of Pearl, Cynthia was fucking nuts, I actually remembered resetting and just having a hard time with her.  Granted, it was the first time since Pokemon Blue that I actually played from start to finish.

Then...literally nobody was a challenge until...Elesa in Pokemon Black.  I had Oshawott as my starter, so ofc i couldn't bring him in.  IT was ALL because of Emolga.  jesus christ.  then i blew the whole game away.  

I finished Silver after gen 6 lol, but mannn, Whitney, wtf.  That Rollout was crazy.  Then after that I just demolished everything.  Well, actually Lance gave me some issues, but I don't think it was serious.

Very recently, in Pokemon Moon, with no Exp. Share, I went to fight the second trial (one with Wishiwashi) and lmao that Alomaloma was such a surprise.  WAIT- my first one was with Llima, that Smeargle, man.  Was expecting a lv. 1 route pokemon with how gen 6 was easy but that definitely set the standard from then on.  Then the one with Lurantis.  I had Popplio in its 1st stage because fuck evolving it.  I had to rely on Ribombee and Oricorio, which are personally two of my three MVP's for this game (other is Mudsdale or w/e it's called).  That Solar Blade...man...  And at the second half of the game I started to exclude Z-Moves because OP, just to build up for the next experience.  Lastly, that battle with the uhh, Champion Qualifier?  I mean, it took me a reset to beat him, but first time, I literally spaced out and chose a wrong move that caused me the game, and I was broke and out of potions that time.  I had one move to win or lose the game and it was Mudsdale and Snorlax.  The Snorlax tanked my EQ until like 1-10HP, the meter was barely visible.  Then Snorlax came in and KO'd him.  Loved my playthrough of Moon.

Only times I have really been challenged were:

Blue in Red/Blue because I barely understood the typing chart

Whitney in Gold/Silver because Miltank is a hax champ

And two of the endgame/postgame fights in Sun/Moon. One because it comes after a pretty long, tough stretch of trainers and you're not given any option to heal before the cutscene

[spoiler]postgame fight w/ red/blue[/spoiler]

[YPrrrr]

Also I never got why Cynthia is such a fan favorite? She's like barely in the game and she didn't seem much harder than anyone else

The professor in sun/moon was tougher imo

The fucking last gym leader in Emerald. I still hadn't realized how important status moved are (I was like 22 lol) and that Kingdra fucking wrecked me repeatedly.
