Have you played newest entries?
They are hard to play because they lack a lot of QOL stuff and one big motivation to play them is nostalgia.
If you are open minded and want to visit them for the history go ahead, if you think you could invest your time in something better then don't.
I finished Pokémon Yellow recently but for me it was easier because I played Pokémon Red in its day, and this time I used a Miyoo Mini which has some perks on its own, like fast forward, rewind, save states and fast shutdown and quick resume (basically all good things emulators have but on the go) I could say I abused of FF except to listen its great OST, also there are the GBA remakes which improve them a lot... so there are my two cents 😀
As someone powered by nostalgia that’s about halfway through Red, it’s definitely rough. I’d personally recommend playing one of the remakes (Fire Red/Leaf Green, Heart Gold/Soul Silver, or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire) if you’re interested in the earlier games but want something that’s a little friendlier to a modern gamer.
The Let’s Go games are also the same story (generally) as the Gen 1 games and more modern. It’s also available on the Switch, which is nice since it can be hard to find some of the older games (for not a ridiculous price).
I’ll probably just play something else then. Not looking for new even if it’s new old.
For what it’s worth, Fire Red and Leaf Green are still early GameBoy Advance so they’re still pretty old.
They sound like my only option if I’m interested in trying it out then.
