You got me sold, is it emulator only or can it be played on 3DS?
I should've mentioned earlier that the first main series pokemon game I played was actually Yellow. However, the very first Pokemon game I played was Stadium, at one point I was able to link up Yellow to that but never ran with it for long, most of that period was spent playing Yellow on their emulator thing, which was brilliant because it sped the game up. Going back to Yellow recently, fuck it's so slow, and even though I did the tactic I've done since Gen 6, defeat every single thing I encounter, trainer or wild, I wasn't leveled up enough for the E4. Still won after the 2nd try, but I'm used to being overleveled thanks to Gen 6 and 7. Also, I thought EXP All would be a savior, I forgot about how useless it is, especially by the time I got it. If I didn't have a full team and I was training just one mon that's say level 5 while the mon cleaning up is level 50, it probably serves me well when going to Cerulean Cave or beating on the E4 again, but damn, whole team, all in the 40-50 level range, 50 EXP for the non-leads, that's ridiculous. On Red now I'm almost making the pokemon equally leveled, whereas in Yellow I was focusing on Primeape until Saffron (I went out of order and did Sabrina first, then Koga). At one point Primeape was 37, trainers, Rockets, were around 22-25, and so were my other pokemon. Then came Alakazam taking the reigns, and temporary shine to the starters, Pikachu basically was left in the dust. His biggest contribution come E4 time was paralyzing Vegeta's (Blue) Exeggecutor, allowing Charizard to sweep in and do some damage. Pikachu was level 34 entering the HOF, meanwhile Alakazam was 57, Blastoise was 48, Charizard was 41, Venusaur was 49, Primeape was 48.
