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.

Joke aside, it probably just isn't for you. Personally I can't bear gen 4,5 and 8 but love gen 3,6 and 7

I think that’s the case, already in general 4 I like the Pokémon I’ve caught and I’m not even at the first gym yet.

I think I struggled with the Pokémon in gen 3 since they didn’t learn good moves until a higher level. Loyola’s doesn’t even learn a water move until like level 37 in that gen.
