Most difficult Pokémon game?

In my opinion it's Colosseum, but I'm curious on what you guys think.


For clarification, I mean in terms of beating the game (like the E4).

Of the ones I've played I'd probably vote LeafGreen/FireRed, but that wasn't on the list :(

What defines difficulty? The difficulty to beat the game (e.g. beating E4) or complete the game (e.g. capture all Pokemon)?

The first one you mentioned (beating the game).

Pinball. Beating a game of pinball is very, very difficult.

I'll choose Yellow as the starter is too weak. Go Quick Attack that Onix!
Or can I use glitch?

Or you could just…. catch a Mankey or a Butterfree.

Anyways, I have a few things that come to mind, since we're considering side games:

- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Not even counting the stupid bonus dungeons that reduce to level 1 or whatever bullshit
- Pinball (it should be mentioned that it is actually possible to 'win' if you consider catching Mew to be doing so, but it is rather difficult)
- Pokemon Channel if you hate the anime special contained within, and you struggle to force yourself to watch even 3-minute segments of it in one sitting
- Maybe Pokemon Box, although filling it up (the only thing that can be considered a win condition) isn't so much difficult as tedious.

As for main series games, I'm not sure. I'm inclined to think Platinum but I haven't played it in a while so maybe it isn't. All I know is that it's not GSC because that was easy as fuck.

Pokemon Puzzle League can get a bit tricky at times as well

I'm not going to vote for the original ranger, but some of the bosses were stupid… Namely Salamance and Steelix, though Steelix was only difficult because you had too have the right party going into the fight.

Although it's not as bad as other examples I have yet to think of, level grinding in G/S/C and HG/SS was brutal. And agonizing.

I voted Ruby/Sapphire since I remember the
Elite Four repeatedly wrecking me but Stadium 2
was pretty challenging as well and I still haven't beat
that game  :P

Out of all of those I'd have to go for Ruby because I could never beat the E4 as a kid. RBY was pretty tough at the E4 as a kid for me too, but more so Ruby since I've NEVER actually beaten the game, someone stole my copy. :(

That dragon pirate guy was hell. Do you remember who stole it? I'll find them and beat them up.
