You know, for a game that's more than 20 years old, I'm having A LOT of fun playing Pokemon Red.  In my book, it's WAY better than Gen 5 and gen 7...

(The pacing feels A LOT faster than the new games, which is something I like. Normally, I'd have to worry about the natures / EV's / IV's / abilities and it's SUCH a PAIN in the arse.)

Unlike the newer generations, I don't feel as if I'm over-levelling my Pokemon (which is something I do QUITE often in the newer Pokemon games) . The Gym Leaders are on par with my strongest Pokemon (for example: Brock's Onix Lv. 14 VS My Squirtle Lv. 14 or Misty's Starmie Lv. 21 VS My Pikachu Lv. 23) and I even have to come with strategies just so I could beat the gym leader. I just beat Misty not too long ago and I was wondering how the hell am I supposed to beat her Starmie. I came up with the strategy of using Thunder Wave on her Starmie to disable as QUICKLY as possible and then send in my Wartortle (to tank the water type moves), use tail whip on it several times (to lower its defense) and knock it out / 3 hit KO it with a tackle.

See!? this is what gym leaders are supposed to be: they're supposed to be HARD to beat. I'm sorry, but the newer games just don't have the same amount of difficulty as some of the older Pokemon games. Gen 4 was THE last Pokemon to offer a challenge and I loved it 

As an old fella, THIS is what I want! 

I hope Pokemon Sword and Shield offers a decent challenge 

This is my team at the moment: 

Wartortle Lv. 26

Pikachu Lv. 23 (I'll probably replace it with an Electabuzz when the time comes >:3)

Nidoking Lv. 23 (yes, I do have one of those on my team XD)

Fearow Lv. 23 (If I had picked a Pidgey, I've would've been stuck with a useless Pidgeotto )
