So there's that too. ~~I think what it really boils down to, even more than the nutso linearity of all the routes, is what I alluded to upthread: the last four badges are apparently earned, like, hourly.~~ A couple of reviewers commented on this also, with one even outright stating that the critical path is shorter than usual. The weird part, of course, is that other reviewers gave ranges between 30 and 40 hours, with some even going as far as saying that it's about average for any Pokemon game. My own playtime will be tremendously bloated regardless. I had over 50 hours on friggin' Let's Go before becoming champion. But I still hope the claims on the back half aren't as bad as they sound. --- Hi! I'm Quinton.
