I just got the eighth badge, it took me 24 hours of playtime to get them all. I’m sitting at the entrance to victory road being pissed off at how easy the game was. Clearly they’re starting to have a younger target audience because you literally get walked through the whole game. In the entire time I played, I lost three battles. THREE. I didn’t get to figure out anything by myself and the only time I actually had to use my brain was in the gym mazes. I beat every gym leader and member of team plasma first try. I was always on a mission so literally half of the map is completely unexplored. I absolutely hate the fact that NONE of the original pokemon are in the game. The only reason I ever lost battles was because I literally only have my starter trained and the rest suck. So yeah I beat the whole game with a starter pokemon. I don’t know, other than the incredible graphics and some nifty new features pokemon white is a complete waste of money. Anyway, off to the league for me, I’ll probably be back on in a fucking hour when I beat them all with one pokemon. Point of rant: don’t buy this game.
