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 had the same problem. Slow transitions between interactions or conversations, I'm convinced it was made like this by design. It makes the game look longer than it actually is, pretty infuriating.
