I’ve been replaying though the Pokémon games for the first time since they came out.
I just finished Gold and started Emerald last week. I was really looking forward to it as I always hear great things about emerald.
But I have not been enjoying it. I feel like I’m constantly under leveled and even when I have a higher level than other Pokémon, I feel weaker.
The map has been a bit annoying going in circles for the first half of the game. I am at the 5th gym now, and decided to drop it and move to gen 4.
I also have not been happy with the team I built. It seems that the move sets I have are not really that good. I’m at level 20-30 and I’m just getting my first good moves for some of my team.
I really liked that generation, and would go so far as to call it my favorite; but that could just be me looking at it through nostalgia-goggles, because that was the first gen I actually owned and got to play from start to finish, myself.
I think you’ve got a couple generations or so left before it starts to really nosedive in quality. Sun/Moon was the breaking point, for me.
I planned to play up to sun/moon. I’ll give them a shot, but I’m mainly interested in platinum, black and white and , x&y.
