The Top Ten
Red Red is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearance is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearances in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Red, Green, Blue,... read more

I think the best thing about this fight is the implications - think about it. When you face him in G/S, he's become so obsessed with Pokémon that he's isolated himself. He's gone without human contact for years. In effect, by beating him, you're actually saving him. He returns to the world of humans so that future trainers may battle him.

In effect, you help him do what he should be doing - facing off against other trainers, not sitting on an icy mountaintop for years. Granted, none of the other Red battles were any good - in my opinion, they all sucked. But it's the fact he's there that counts.

Cynthia
N As the Champ
Cyrus In the Distortion World
N In Nimbasa City
Champion Blue

Yeah, I agree with the last comment, this Pokémon battle is downright famous in the eyes of gamers. Why is it this low?

ARE YOU SERIOUS! Nobody votes for practically one of the best boss battles in the history of gaming! Sure, it's not the best Pokémon battle of all time when it comes to fighting Red, but are you kidding!

You think N's fight in Nimbasa, Norman, Wally, and even flipping Iris as Champion are better than the world-phenomenal video gaming boss fight known as your final fight with your badass - and I admit, ass - rival of the first frigging game of POKÉMON!

God, that was a mouthful, but the point still stands. This is my favorite Pokémon (tied with Cynthia) and my 4th favorite boss battle in video gaming history. I just can't believe that Blue is this low. It's absolutely absurd and downright crazy. Please vote for it.

Ultra Necrozma

This was pretty much the only difficult boss fight in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, besides the abomination that is Totem Togedemaru. When I first saw it, I noticed how ridiculously gigantic it was compared to my character. It looked like it could easily obliterate me with its godly powers, which were clearly strong enough to block out all the light from an entire planet.

The music was very intimidating, and I saw that it was level 60, ten levels higher than the Dawn Wings Lunala I had faced just moments earlier. It was even a higher level than the Pokémon League in the later game. It felt as if you had to face Mewtwo before tackling the Pokémon League in Kanto.

Even though my Raichu was super overpowered (level 58, since I had been grinding EXP points throughout the game), it got one-shotted by Dragon Pulse. In the end, almost all of my Pokémon were either one-shotted by Photon Geyser or Dragon Pulse. I didn't know that Ultra Necrozma had the Psychic/Dragon typing, meaning that fire, water, electric, or grass attacks would only do half damage.

I only defeated Ultra Necrozma on my second try because of all the Max Potions and Revives I spammed to wear away at Necrozma's Dragon Pulse and Photon Geyser. No wonder this thing has base stats higher than Arceus and only falls short of Mega Mewtwo (X or Y).

? Volo (Final Encounter)

Was downright shaking when the music started playing. And how is a 6 vs. 8 fair?

Whitney
Wally

Wally is one of the most interesting characters in the entire franchise. I call him the Gohan of Pokémon because he starts pretty weak until the final bout with him, where he could destroy you if you're not ready for him. Also, that ORAS theme though!

Clair
Ghetsis (BW)

He's hands down the best antagonist the games have ever seen. Right after he drops some absolutely cold-blooded lines about how he only adopted N to use him as a pawn, and then reveals his end goal to rule through force by being the only one with Pokémon, you then need to battle him.

Emotions are running high as you want to stop him and make him pay for being such a manipulative scumbag, and then he comes out with a very challenging and menacing team, with his Hydreigon probably being the second most memorable ace Pokémon of a boss behind Cynthia's Garchomp.

My only criticism of the battle is that the song didn't pump enough of a threatening and high-intensity atmosphere into the battle, and kind of just gets tuned out as a low rumble in the background. That problem was fixed in the sequels though, replacing it with an awesome remix of the original theme.

Norman
Iris (Champion) Iris is from the Pokemon bwhite version & Pokemon black 2 & white. She ether was the gym leader in Opelucid city in white version. She first appeared to aid Bianca, Burgh, and the playable character when Bianca's Munna was stolen, & acted as a bodyguard. In Black 2 & White 2, she was the champion. Iris... read more

It was so exciting, realizing she was Champion!

Hapu
Mewtwo Mewtwo is a psychic-type Legendary Pokémon from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it made its first appearance in the games Pokémon Red and Blue. It was created by Dr. Fuji using gene splicing in an attempt to clone Mew. In the Pokémon games, it's infamously... read more

He is technically a boss since he is the strongest "character" in the game Red, Blue, and Yellow. Mewtwo is isolated from the world in Cerulean Cave, which is off-limits for normal trainers. The Pokémon League is responsible for the place being very dangerous. Without a good catch strategy, he can take down your entire team.

Also, because it is your last challenge after the league, the last Pokémon in your Pokédex, and it was created by the head of Team Rocket, Giovanni.

Wallace
Drake the Dragon Master
Juan (Okay Here Me Out)

Now Juan CAN be difficult simply because in Emerald there are very few places to train, and often teams are under-leveled. Not to mention, Juan's Pokémon, especially Kingdra, have very few weaknesses.
