Just started playing pearl, and damn I don't remember this game being this slow paced. Took me over an hour to reach Jubilife. It's not even just the slow speed, the actually pacing of the story is much slower, than, say, in gen 3.

It’s not much of a team so far but this is what I’m working with.
eden is a girl’s name
He’s named after the Garden of Eden, so I don’t really care.
they should take your pokemon away if you give them troony names like this
WHY are you playing Pearl and not Platinum?
>less linearity
>important npcs use better team; gyms aren’t monotype slop
>game corner wasn’t israeliteed out of slots
>better cross gen evos; cute mismagius instead of ugly magmortar
>>game corner wasn’t israeliteed out of slots
They're still in Platinum, at least the US version.
it's an rpg zoomer, it's supposed to be slow
go back to tiktok
No other Pokémon game has nearly as much of a lead in.
even sm?
Meant up to that point, gen 5+ aren’t real anyway
DP is faster than gen 3 because you get the running shoes earlier and they work indoors
OP here, not really, no. It consistently only takes me about 25 minutes to get to Petalburgh City in RSE, which is quick a bit less than the hour it took me to get to Jubilife City in DP. Getting the running shoes marginally faster is pretty irrelevant considering you don’t need to cover any large distances yet in either game.
It is what it is, I enjoy the slower pacing of DPP just fine, that’s actually why I decided to play through Sinnoh at all even. I just forgot how significant the difference was.
I feel like I’m getting into the groove now though; I started on Saturday and have been playing for less than an hour a day, making significant but incremental bits of progress each day. I’m actually busy with work this week too, so I’ll probably just whittle away at the tasks in and around Jubilife over the course of the week and then head to Oreburgh on Friday.
Feels a bit odd since I’m used to getting my first badge on the same day that I start most Pokémon games, but I actually kinda like this pace, it’s more relaxing to spread out my progress and focus on completing small tasks leading up to the larger events, as opposed to just making big chunks of progress every time I play.

Wow different maps take different amounts of time to travel, you sure got me there anon
It doesn’t have anything to do with map space, like I said, neither game has much ground to cover by this point, the thing that makes the difference is DP have a lot of early game dialogue compared to RSE. It’s not even a bad thing, I find DP’s beginning segment to be more immersive than RS’s due to the way the Characters have more unique traits, but it’s objectively slower in a way that’s arguably unnecessary.

It does feel like a slog.
>force you to go talk to barry
>have to then follow him into his house and talk to him upstairs
>then follow him to the lake
>get your starter, then talk to your mom
>talk to professor rowan
>talk to dawn outside lab
>have to go back home to talk to your mom again
>talk to dawn again for a catching tutorial
>deliver a parcel to barry
most of these steps just feel like wasted time, the first 3 gens were much much quicker about it, but later gens can be much worse
your impatient
But needing to go to the next town’s shop and back without running shoes is fine? Or needing to go through a whole town and two routes, fight your rival and come back, all again without running shoes?
The absolute mental gymnastics you twittergays have to make to pretend DP are bad LMAO
Everything you mentioned is still quicker than DP’s earlygame, yes.
If you're emulating, just speed it up. No shame in that
>took me over an hour to reach jubilife
that’s a good thing though
>it takes over an hour to be able to actually play the game
>this is somehow a good thing
Gens 1-3 just let you have at it, and I’m appreciating that more and more recently. Hour+ long tutorials are awful both the first go round and kill replayability
DP has almost zero tutorial though
>DPPt
>slow games
>DPPt fans
>slow brains
wow, pottery yet again, mystery solved
DPPt fans tend to be comparatively smarter than fans of other games so does that mean DPPt are the least slow pokemon games?
Pearl was my first Pokemon game, i still remember the gameshark things that allow you to walk on water and find Darkrai
