I never found it bad in Gen 1 and 2 because the maps were a lot smaller than even Gen 3. You move more slowly, but you still get to where you need to go fairly quickly.

Even the battles feel fast because the animations and text tend to be quicker. Grinding sucks though. And Gen 2 has the slow HP bar glitch.

I speed up in battles because I don't need to wait for the bar to drop, the battle is planned and I only need one move so I just wanna spam it.

This is why I don't get why adults play Pokémon. Even as a young child playing the original Pokémon, without any guides or any other resources, I was able to trivially make a party where I didn't have to think. I just spam one move and win. I know you can optimize the hell out of the games, but there's zero need to outside multiplayer. I thought the games were really fun as a child, partially because of a lack of options and partially because it's made for children. I know people in their 30s who still play them when they release though. It's so confusing to me.
