Well, I was attempting to beat Red from July 2010 to December 2011.

I haven't played the game since until February 2019 when I missed playing the game and would be playing it again (miraculously).

Then I thought I would use the strategy of using battle items (X Attack, X Defend, X Special, X Sp. Def, X Speed) to defeat Red.

It still wasn't easy, my main striking Pokemon was a level 66 Ampharos. (which became level 67.)

Pikachu and Snorlax were pretty challenging targets. Lapras, Blastoise, and Charizard were easy. (Charizard never even attacked because I knocked it out in one hit.) Then there was Venusaur and I was never looking forward to getting to Venusaur

I would also use a lot of Hyper Potions (I forgot it originally had 200 HP, not 120), and Full Restores, and an Antidote and maybe a Full Heal.
