Yeah I know, but its just so d**n frustrating to spend so much time fighting the same enemies all the time, but I know its worth it though.
And I once so a movie on the internet in which someone beats Emerald in just 1.15 minutes, so cool!
I am often forced to level up though, because otherwise you simply can't beat some of the bosses. So its not that I absolutely don't, I do, I just don't like it.
