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?

a pill that makes your PP go up.

OP did say he was getting older, there's no shame in needing one of these
