I'm 9 hours and 48 minutes into replaying it. Only gaining experience from Trainers. No Grinding. and well ... Yikes!
I feel as if all my autonomy has been stripped away. That's not even before the road block after road block. (Here's a HM
... You can only use it after beating this Gym ⩺_⩹ )
But it gets soo much worse after that. The super effective types against the third and fourth Gym just get nicher and nicher.
Before you're even allowed to try the third gym you have to do a Mini-game, the last part of which feels forever. I turned off move animations because they feel long, now you're gonna force me to sit through them unskippable?!
Meanwhile you get two small poke'mon around level 10 and 11, who only evolve around level 32 and 37. A stark contarast to the Poke'mon you get at Level 5 who evolve at like level 12.
After beating the Third Gym, one of the Story people practically tells you, "Alright, cool, now go there next, I'll be waiting for you, in case you wanna *Pfffffffffffffft* explore or feel immersed or some $hit"
I don't know if you can tell but it's genuinely depressed me a little. If it wasn't for, Exp.share Item. and spoiling when they level up, I would be even more upset right now.
Edit:- For clarity, I just got my Third Gym Badge, and then I Spoiled it for myself. Learning about Levels and next Gym being more obscure.
Second Edit:- And another thing, they want so many of my Team to learn Unforgettable HM moves. It's like what the F? I've only just got a team together at such early levels who can learn so many moves yet you want me to start blocking that?! So first I just caught one to be a HM mule. Then after a while I just gave up on the non mandetory HM needed routes entirely. I only have one HM active because it's a move I actually want to use. 'Rock Smash' fighting move.
