I’ve been replaying Gold on my game it color. I just beat the elite 4 and started going through the Kano gyms.

The elite 4 battles, were tough and it was really close. I genuinely was feeling the tension as I landed my last few hits.

The Kanto gyms seem really easy so far. Much easier than the elite 4, so that’s a bit disappointing.

I did decide against fighting red after getting the badges. I estimate my team will be around level 50 when I finish getting the ka to badges and I do not want to grind 20 levels to match red’s level.

After this, I’m going to play emerald, which I’ll emulate on my 3ds. I’m really looking forward to it as it seems like a huge technological leap compared to red > gold.

I played these games as a kid, but only have good memories of red, I had 0 memory of gold, and I have 0 memories of emerald. I never played the platinum generation so I’m extremely excited for that one.

I don't know anything about this series, so I had to do a search to be sure all the colours lined up, and I'm still only about 90% sure about it, but here's the word you needed to include so that the uninitiated know what you're talking about:

"Pokemon"

It's honestly amazing that you wrote all of that and never named the series you were talking about. It was extra confusing that you called it a "game it color" when I'm pretty sure you mean "game boy color".

You should challenge Red! Don't put it down without challenging Red! You don't need to match his level, by getting serious you definitely should be able to beat him with a big level deficit.
