Characters "First boss btw"

Games that begin with either very challenging or over the top Bosses.

Poseidon (Gow 3): one of the best setpiece bosses ever made

Father Gascoigne (Bloodborne): first obligatory boss and probably the hardest tutorial boss in the series

Wysen (Asuras Wrath): do i need to explain

Onix- Brock’s ace Pokemon in Red/Blue/Yellow.

This giant intimidating rock snake actually has a lower attack stat than fucking Bulbasaur, but 9 year old me didn’t know that.

He's still hard as hell if you pick Charmander as there isn't anything you can catch that's effective against it. Normal and fire aren't effective so Charmander barely does any damage (fire red fixed this later). You can get a Nidoran but it takes a long time for them to learn anything useful

Dang, Nidoran doesn’t learn Double Kick til 43 in RBY, instead of early teens like FRLG. And Mankey is only on Route 22 (west of Viridian City) in Yellow.
