Easiest/Most Frustrating Gym Puzzle?

Easiest for me... I would have to say the various Ice gyms, oddly enough. I'm good with that stuff.

Toughest? Probably the Hearthome gym in Platinum. whyyyyyyyy
 
Easiest: Not counting the entirety of the medicine business, and just the Gym alone, Olivine. Not a single Trainer in sight. And my Steelix/Feraligatr combo tore Jasmine a new one.

Hardest: Snowpoint Gym. The only Ice-type puzzle that required two levels of strategy: getting enough momentum to break the snowballs and maneuvering into the correct locations. I quite enjoyed Sootopolis' ice-break style, and the other ice-puzzles were inventive and a fun challenge. Only stupid Candice's gym was actually frustrating. Bonus:

Most fun Gym puzzles: Sunyshore. Just loved the gear/bridge combos. That, and Viridian Gym redux (HGSS), because it took the original and made it more exciting.
 
Easiest: Not sure. One of the ones where you don't actually have to solve a puzzle.

Hardest: Either Snowpoint or Opelucid. But, as Bouffalant Herdier said, Vermilion is also frustrating because it's just luck.
 
The hardest was by far Opelucid's gym. Oh goodness, I played through the game so many times, and I still have trouble with that puzzle when I get there.

The most enjoyable puzzles for me have always been the ice gyms. I loved Pryce's gym, I loved Brycen's gym, and I loved Wallace's gym puzzles. Since those were the most enjoyable for me, I'm going to say that they were the easiest as well.
 
Easiest gym is easily Falkner's gym in Violet City. He's probably the easiest gym leader in the entire SERIES, and his gym has no puzzles either. It's smooth sailing in there.

The most frustrating is Liza and Tate's gym in Mossdeep City on EMERALD version. Not R/S, but Emerald. I got so frustrated with the switches and the rotating... And there are so many trainers who get in your way as well.
 
I think the easiest and most frustrating gym is the Juan's Sootopolis gym puzzle :drool:. See, the first couple of times you complete it, it's a huge pain in the neck, but after you memorize it, it's as easy as Emerald's Rustboro gym :smokin:. So, it covers both for me :ksmile:.
 
The hardest was Maylene's gym and her punching bags in Platinum.
And of course the easiest are always the first gyms.
