So because I've played gen 1 a million times and fact is, once you're no longer 8 years old it's not really that hard, I took the time to play around with the trainer data and make what I call Fire Red (Slightly Harder), which is mostly what it sounds like. Most of the fights are untouched, but I went ahead and made all the gym and E4 battles a decent bit harder. My general method of messing with the teams followed a few rules
1. Legacy
2. Logic
3. Creativity
4. Difficulty
5. Awesome
The principle being that you should actually have to take the time to level up your pokemon, pick a decent team, and use enough items to get through every major battle, and thoroughly enjoy each one because they make you work for it and some of the teams are just pretty cool. Some of the changes were because you could just sweep through too many of them easily (Dugtrio catchable right before Surge? Abra before Erika? come the fuck on).
