** Some prefer Steven to Wallace because Steven uses the Steel type but doesn't ''exclusively'' use Steel-type Pokémon due to the lack of Steel-types in the Pokédex, so he's a bit more of a [[Worthy Opponent]] than Wallace; who uses Water-types and is quite easy to beat. [[Your Mileage May Vary]]; but some also prefer Wallace just because he helps Sceptile catch up...and the Water-type actually is rather powerful due to the "One type uses one stat".

** Luvdisc, thanks to being more or less completely useless with it's only worthwhile function being that it provides Heart Scales for the Move Tutor.

** Spinda to a lesser extent, it's stats are all below average (Sixty across the board), but it's a bit less hated for it's gimmick (No two Spinda share the exact same spot patterns, making them a bit fun to collect for some).

** The fishing mechanic as a whole was much more needlessly complicated than in the other generations. Previously and after, you would cast your line and wait a few seconds and either get a bite or don't. In this generation, there's a needlessly long series of button pushes that literally amounts to "Oh a bite! Oh a bite! Oh a bite! Oh a bite! Oh a bite! Oh a bite! Oh a bite! Oh a bite!"

** The Sky Pillar. Anyone who doesn't have good finger-reflexes and control over the Mach Bike is going to pull their hair out ''trying to get to'' Rayquaza, let alone catching the bastard. The good news is if you do catch him, the trip down is trivial since falling down is probably what you've been doing in the pillar. Thankfully, it's ''so'' much less of a hassle in Emerald... though the Mirage Tower takes it's place as infuriatingly annoying to navigate.

** Traversing the ocean is also considered one of the worst parts in all of the main games. On the other hand, the [[Under the Sea]] segments are considered some of the most memorable parts, very likely because one can only encounter wild Pokémon if one travels in seaweed. As a result, some people use Dive [[Mundane Utility|in order to avoid encounters when surfing]].
