Is beating Red worth it for me?
I took an almost decade long hiatus from this game. I wanted to restart, but after coming back to it, I realized I had gotten far enough to have couple Kanto badges, so I went and got the rest. I even went to the trouble of catching some legendaries to help. Despite that, considering where my team stands now, how much money I have, and how much grinding I’d have to do to get strong enough, I’m not sure beating Red is worth the rewards, at least rn. At best, I’d store what Pokemon I didn’t have in OG Diamond (my legendary/unique Pokemon storage) and then just restart the game anyway.
For context, I’m also playing through FireRed for the first time on Switch (but I’ve seen a full let’s play), and starting Black on DS 99% blind (Black just doesn’t hit like HG though…) I’m even thinking of launching Platinum back up simply so I can grab Darkrai with my old Action Replay.
Should I grind and tough it out? Or just cut my losses and start fresh?
