>>12147453As someone who grew up with the Gen I and II games as the only video games I owned for a while, I recently played through about half of Red version again.
There wasn't much that was driving me along besides nostalgia. I'll admit that I liked the simplicity of the battles and the limited attacks (even though the speed stat and psychic types broke the game). It felt simpler, and for that reason more challenging.
