ITT: Casual filters

Get a ghost or fighting type

>sand attacks u
Pssh.

>Was so infernally buttmad I transferred my Platinum Monkey to my SS to punch this bitch in the face

It's a cheap fight and you know it

They only ghost type you can get is a ghastly from bellsprout tower and you have to get lucky to find one by accident otherwise you'd never know you can get one there. Gen 1/2 are filled with bullshit like that.

Was this a coincidence or intentionally hard? In the new games it seems like they just use random pokémon for the leaders. You are not supposed to use a strategy.

It's the last mission of the game, but still.

Learnt the hard way rollout is rock

rollout will wreck gastly / haunter's shit if it stacks to more than 2, fighting is probably the only option but stomp still puts a fat dent on you

But not Xaldin? That asshole is why I haven't replayed 2 in literal years.

this motherfucker made me reset the whole fucking game when i was a kid

mickey will always save your ass while fighting xaldin unless if you decide to bitch out the fight

So ghastly isn't readily available to most people playing (especially in the GSC version, since the internet wasn't really a thing), and in HG/SS, it has scrappy anyways.

And, if i remember right, the only fighting type at that point in the game was an in-game trade for a machop, and in order to have that work perfectly, you still needed to SR for a female one, and Machop has a low female %.

Gendered pokemon were new, so attract could catch people, especially children, off guard.

And its moves are: recovery, attract(hax), stomp(hax), and rollout.

Obviously it's not like broken or anything, especially with a female pokemon, but it's still a casual filter because you can't just get away with mashing A until you win like you can up until this point, there needs to be at least one other axis of understanding the game. And stomp is a legitimately annoying move.

He's the lance guy, right? Triangle fucks his shit up harder than anyone in the game.

When I was a wee babe, I had way more trouble with Demyx, but Still had a good bit of trouble with Xaldin. The reaction commands Xaldin has made pretty short work of him.

That's why it's a based fight. One of the few instances in pokemon single player history where you actually have to think, plan, prepare. Misty in gen 1 was also a challenge depending on what starter you had. I wish pokemon games had difficulty levels.

>you still needed to SR for a female one
I'm pretty sure it's always female.

I never got this meme because as a kid i by that time i had a ghastly or Haunter that knew curse. The fight was over in seconds and all i ever saw were other people complaining about it.

I always had a togepi by that point and just had fun spamming metronome against the clefairy. And the miltank was a piece of cake with sand attack and some luck.

its not a casual filter because by the time gold/silver came out everyone knew there was nothing grinding till your mons were over leveled couldn't fix. Id bet my bottom dollar that no one simply quit playing because they couldn't beat Whitney.

Thw ghost pokemon will rek miltank with curse

it is, Trade pokemon are always the same.

I think you can blind the Milktank--pretty sure I beat it that way and mind you, I was just a retarded little kid

rip me, i should've looked it up before posting

It is.

Gen 1 misty wasn't that bad, Even if you picked charmander Grass pokemon (Oddish/bellsprout) were really common right above her gym.

nobody wants to train a bellsprout especially from the limited exp resources you'd have at that point

...considering i beat that ho at age 9, im gonna say not exactly a casual filter.

>misty
>hard
are you that one retard in class that didnt caught a dugtrio because everyone else do it

You still have to "learn" the command from him and dodge his lasers

it is when your 10

catching a dugtrio is soulless
train your own

Even my baby brain knew to just go level up...
How is this seen as hard

it has vinewhip at level 1, it will 1 shot Starme by level like 13. and that's only if your as asshole who bought blue. if you're a normal person, you got oddish who starts with absorb and doesn't even need to be trained to take her.

[Source] 8 year old me because after my level 34 charmeleon couldn't beat her I gave up on a Charizard only run by catching an oddish.

He's sill pretty damn easy, especially if you find out that you can reaction command him multiple times in a row.

I don't know if Dead Money is the biggest casual filter but i've never seen people get so absolutely destroyed by a game before, even those who considered themselves experts died a lot here

bullshit

Attached: blocks ur path.png (1920x1080, 1.59M)

How the fuck has anyone ever lost in Pokemon, the only way you can lose a fight is if you are massively underleveled which never fucking happens, even if you go strictly town to town
It's one of the reasons why i don't get how Pokemon is still a popular videogame, it offers absolutely no challenge and the only way it gets interesting is if you go out of your way to make the game more difficulty artificially

Rival fight 2 is pretty hard.

Most people play it when they're kids, autismo

Oddish on route 5 are level 15 or 16. bellsrpout are the same, Starmie is 21, You 2 shot it. The Staryu gets one shot.

>Can get stats effects early in game
>There is a whole area of strong physical defense Pokemon beforehand
Why is this hard?

DM is piss easy, bear trap fist is a guaranteed kill in 1-2 hits with its high limb damage, and holograms are slow enough to react that you can hide even after being detected. The only bullshit thing is the constant health drain in HC mode. It basically encourages you to walk around at 1 HP and then eat all your food as soon as you get ticks on your compass.

only if you're cheesing the game.

because it is

How do you even lose as a kid, you can literally spam the same move with the same pokemon 95% of your playthrough and win, you only ever need to change moves when you are facing your Pokemon's direct weakness
Even as a kid you spam the one move and win everytime
It's baby's first RPG and it's fucking embarrasing to see grown men playing it, let alone struggling with it

HGSS Bugsy and his u-turn spammin scyther. I still struggle with this battle when replaying the games.
That might be because I always choose Chikorita though.

Do a hard mode Nuzlocke or just stop grinding.

When I was up to Whitney I usually had a starter at around lv 18, and 2 or 3 others at round 12-15
I always dreaded that miltank, it sounds like YOU played the game for the first time as a grown man and can't understand how kids might find it hard.

The simple thing to do would be have a challenge mode like Black and White 2, and not have a dumb fuck unlock method like it did in BW2

I wish modern Pokemon games did stuff like this. These days I usually beat even the Elite Four on my first try with minimal effort and underleveled Pokemon. Yet for some reason they seem to want to make it even more easy with each game. I'll never understand it. Kids aren't as dumb as Nintendo think, you don't need to handhold them constantly.

That's why it's a casual filter, user. Only casuals found it difficult.

I did Sun with a no exp run with minimal grinding and yhat was tough. Beat kukui like 15 levels below him in the end, boy was Alolan Muk a lifesaver

Nigga when I was little I didn't carr about all that all I did after losing to that fucking cow was train my first pokemon in the grass until it reached level 32 and overkill it

Yep, getting more EXP from higher levelled opponents kind of breaks the game.

back in gen 2 curse only damaged if your Pokemon survived the attack. They weren't going to survive the attack.

GUYS LOOK HOW COOL I AM

this story is literally not the case with this particular pokemon because of the typing and what is available to you in the game at the time.

You are a lying faggot, or you overleveled your pokemon and made the game boring for yourself, congratulations.

Yes, and giving it over turn of rollout for free. It does not take damage from curse after it takes a steaming hot shit on your haunter. After that it's taking maybe one turn off curse damage before it steamrolls the rest of your team with it's ridiculously buffed rollout. The only way your beating miltank with curse if you you tried that in hg/ss or if you get a lucky miss. Either way, there's no shame is bragging about rng giving you a win or doing it in the watered down vision of the game. Just specify that you did so you don't look like a lying asshole on a site where reputation doesn't matter.

Damage sponge pokemon + rollout is a deadly combination, especially if it's your first time playing pokemon.

>It does not take damage from curse after it takes a steaming hot shit on your haunter

Yes it fucking does retard. I LITERALLY beat it with curse. The fucker lost like 1/4 of its health for EVERY turn, and when my Haunter eventually fell i used ONE attack with my Cyndaquil to finish it off.

Literally nothing in x/y is a challenge

I played KH2 for the first time recently and I don't remember this guy being hard.
Biggest difficulty spike was Roxas, but it was near the end of the game.

That's not how gen 2 works kiddo. I'm sorry you're so upset no one believes your story.

>It does not take damage from curse after it takes a steaming hot shit on your haunter.
But that can't happen. Miltank's Rollout doesn't oneshot nor Gastly, nor Haunter.

Attached: calc has no rollout so i used a depowered rock throw.png (1555x889, 82K)

So that's still harder than GSC.

It does when curse drops you to half health asshat.

You're a fucking retard m8. Play the games. It takes of a HUGE chunk of damage until the haunter is dead. I lost the haunter but my replacement pokemon one shot it adfer curse did its job.

Wow user, you sure showed me.

I still remember the way you had to walk from the save station. That being said, when you can't strafe because you're a retard then Alpha Splinter is the hardest boss in the game.

I do, regularly when I'm bored.

Attached: Screenshot_2019-03-01-07-36-39~2.png (1055x240, 23K)

Miltank is faster than Gastly so it will always attack first. And Rollout doesn't do enough damage to prevent Curse's use. You do know how Curse works right?

Even fucking Wikihow explicitely tells you to use Gastly against her. Not to mention it immediately has Hypnosis too.

>Casual filters

Only if you picked the fire starter.
That fight is a piece of cake with Croconaw.

The point he's making is that in gen 1 and 2 pokemon didn't take damage from status ailments (poison, cures, burn, leech seed etc) if they knocked a pokemon out that turn.

Not even, Quilava can survive 2 Rollouts and use Smokescreen.

Ok and? I ustised (see scaraficed my ghost) with curse and it cut Miltank down to nothing. Fuck that guy telling me what did or didn't happen because he struggled and i didn't.

Honestly just depends on how lucky you are.

It didn't happen dude. Just give it up. Literally everyone is telling you it's made up.

Come on, user.
You're missing the point.
let other people have their slap fights about how they killed miltank.

the fight isn't actually that hard, it was just hard at the time for children and people who didn't get some of the new bits of this generation. You just had to know something about the way pokemon works to beat it. unless you overleveled, but then you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how the game works, which might be your thing, but that's no fun.

also

>this only works in crystal version, dudes don't appear in the wild in routes before goldenrod
>you're still probably attracted, so you and her trade rng blows, and she still has milk drink
>this works, attract is stronger hax though.

This fight still uses mechanics not in the first gen, with a pokemon with high health and defense, and only one weakness. this spells a bad time for kids who don't get the game yet, and they are either stonewalled until they grind, making the rest of the game less interesting, or they wise up.

>one autist

ok retard. Sorry this was your gauntlet run as a kid or whatever. I wont see your replies so dont bother. Try not being shit next time i guess

i remember leveling up my feraligator to level 38 and having a few other mons around level 20-25 and still getting my shit pushed in. it only happened once though. on my 1st playthrough milktank was easy as fuck and all the other playthroughs i ever did too. just once did this match ever become an actual challenge for some reason.

>oof
I had a curious amount of trouble clearing that section. Kept stomping me

Reading comprehension much?

rollout isn't in the damage calculator, but wouldn't the battle go:

>curse
>take curse damage
>rollout
>ko, skip curse damage
>rollout
>ko, curse damage
>rollout
>ko, curse damage

Which works if you killed clefairy and still had a full team.

2nd Rollout will never kill anything but a Pidgey. And it can and will miss often. So no.

Using Curse is an uncurable status. Miltank can spam Milk Drink but that only does so much. Hell, Curse completely shatters all of gen 7's totem fights, as you flat out cannot lose once you land it. Something that'll die in 4 turns can't kill 6 pokemon.

Reminder that the strongest move you see at that point in the game is something like 60BP, which pales in comparison to the 150BP. Beam clones suck in general, but something with that power early on is either killing off one of your pokemon or putting it into red health

Adding onto this, the same can be said about Dragon Rage. Shitty move, but it's a major threat when your HP is so low you'll get 2shot at best.

>that pure white element field
F

Because people who have trouble with pokemon are the types who dodge every trainer battle they can and run from every encounter on top of just mindlessly spamming their best attack whenever they're forced to battle. This makes them end up really underleveled for a while which is why all the casual filter bosses are early on in the game.

The only other way pokemon presents a challenge is if you intentionally restrict yourself to add challenge.
