But in Pokemon...yeah. the Elite Four are tough. But the Rival is even tougher. I'd say though, that the whole Lavender Town ghost thing was awful. It's just annoying that all these people want to fight me in a haunted tower. No sense of decor.

Even worse, by that point in the game most of your Pokémon only know Normal-type moves. At least Bite was made a Dark-type move in Gen-2, so in the remakes it was a bit easier.
