How do you grind?

Money, levels, items, how do you go about grinding in RPGs?

It depends on which game I'm playing and if I'm doing a challenge. For example lately I've been doing two challenges in Pokemon Blue and Red. The first one is I'm only allowed to use poison type moves so I'm only allowed to currently use my kakuna in battle to attack since it's the only Pokemon on my team that knows any poison type moves. I switch in my Nidoran female to get experience because once she goes to level 14, she'll learn Poison Sting and can attack. In the other challenge I'm doing, which is only using water type moves in battle I just started with Horsea since it knows Bubble so I'll just keep using it for now. But if I'm just playing a RPG normally, I just keep battling monsters until I need to heal and then I heal. I'll save up money before I start buying items I need.

Thankfully most RPGs offer a way to cut down on grind, back in the day I would change the channel to tv and just keep pressing similar buttons to move and then attack for an hour to get money/level ups.

I would listen to music and I still do whenever I grind. I love game music but I would get tired hearing the same battle music over and over again lol.
