Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? (kbin.earth)

So I'm trying to replay some gen 3 pokemon. I played Saphire as a kid and I loved it. Going back now as an adult, I'm really struggling. I'm finding it incredibly grindy, and I die inside a little every time I see a long stretch of tall grass. What have I forgotten? What am I missing now that I got as a kid? Any tips?

I actually didn’t know that. I guess that makes it a bit more bearable keeping that in mind.

Yep, it’s an excellent way to hide loading. If you played the Tomb Raider games, crawling and worming through tight crevices as Lara was a loading screen in disguise.
