A very sad fact -_-
Ok, i find it ammusing that on average gameplay (gametime), it only takes us three days to become a champion and possibly 4 days to become master (which means beat Red). How long has it took Ash? Approximatly 10 years. What do you think of this?

Actually that is you. I am still playing since March with HeartGold and still I didn't beat Red. It took me 2 months to beat the Elite4, and now it is August, and still, I am playing. I prefer to enjoy each and every part of the game rather than rushing through it.

I didn't beat my game until June/July too, because if I get a game which I was really anticipating, I don't rush through it like the other players. I like to enjoy it for as much time as possible.

Plus, I don't think Ash ever becomes the champ of any region's league besides the orange islands. Besides! Everybody knows that Red > Ash Last edited by Quadcentruo; August 21, 2010 at 06:05:54 AM. Reason: I haz bad grammar |

I take my time with the games, but I never catch Pokémon, and I only raise six party members from the get-go, so my time is cut down from that.
There's something to remember with this sort of issue: Ash has to travel several miles by foot to run from city to city. And most of the time, he's stopped up by someone else's problems, or Team Rocket trying to kidnap Pokémon. If we had the same problems, we'd be halted every now and again too. Also, we don't really have to stop to eat, or other things like that, since we can do many things while playing the games. I agree, it shouldn't have taken Ash this long to complete any leg of his journey, but it would take us just as long to run through as many reigns as he has. |

Ive done alot of philosophical thinking about pokemon in relation to real life. I've said that about three times in my posts on VR today and i cant help but feel like im bragging about it, but meh..
So anyway, a solo journey through a region, from first gym to league, takes about 9 months, since Dawn travels with Ash, and has to make frequent stops at contests and the Grand Festival, the total time for a party of 3 through a region would take about a year. I like to think that each saga takes about 1 year, with seasons like the Orange Islands and Battle Frontier taking place in the extra few months that Ash has after he has finished with his most recent league. So Ash would only be about 14 or 14 by now. I get somewhat annoyed when people assume that the episodes take place in real time, and even more annoyed at those people think that every season takes a year. if that were true, Ash would have been 16 by the time he finished Johto. 1 season of the anime spans about 4/5 months in real time at most. One fact thats always annoyed/intrigued me in the Pokemon franchise is the definition of a Pokemon "Master". Its never really said what a master is. IMHO, i guess being a "Pokemon Master" would be like, attaning Nirvana or something. Last edited by AnathemA; August 31, 2010 at 07:43:56 AM. |

He isn't trying! That's because he doesn't have Misty to keep him in line

Well, I guess technically they do. They have Misty for Kanto and Jhoto, May for Hoenn, and Dawn for Sinnoh. Last edited by Quadcentruo; September 2, 2010 at 05:48:36 PM. |

The least they could've done was change the main character temporarily in Isshu since it's supposed to be far away from the other regions. Ash is technically 20 now and i think he's over stayed his welcome

But back on topic, I play slow games. It takes me a week to get through a route, mainly because I like to train my Pokemon well instead of blowing through the game in three days. =/ More bang for my buck. |

Some people don't like to jump to conclusions in their games. Or if they are like me, they will get stuck by a puzzle (of course, not in Pokemon) and keep adding up time. It seems to be this thread has been about bashing how Nintendo refuses to shorten the seasons for ash. If they did that, Nintendo would lose some of its audience that watches the anime. |

I would take me a week to train my pokemon from the start all the way to defeat the elite four and i mostly capture pokemon because the aim to the game catch all pokemon and defeat elite four and special trainers like Trainer Red and other characters in the game.
The reason for Ash Ketchum of not beating the pokemon league is to make ash ketchum realize that there is much more to learn from his defeat and become stronger in the next pokemon league in Isshu reigion and there is always a chance that ash could have a rematch with trainers he met and lost against in the future to see if he improved himself and i'm expecting Ash Ketchum to win Isshu pokemon league or any rematch characters along the way.

I got obsessed with the train-one-member thing a lot and often wound up with a really high level starter (Blaziken in the 50s to Infernape, 92, with the others in between) and around 50-60 hours by the League. I ruined SoulSilver by blowing through the whole game in 40 almost-straight hours (well, it was my entire time awake) live on Ustream. I still hate myself for that. In my English HeartGold, however, I am currently saved in front of Ho-Oh. I have been playing Black rather slowly, avoiding spoilers, and currently doing missed sidequests. One of my favorite parts of the game is when you finally have all the HMs together and go back to the areas you missed and picking up the items on little islands, behind trees, in caves, etc.
As for the anime, I think it is a bit too drawn out with too many episodes about people with random problems and Team Rocket spoiling something for the hundredth (quite literally) time. If Team Rocket really did that, they would've been either thrown in jail from taking too much company funding or from stalking children. If they trimmed out a bit of that and made it a little more realistic, I think a trek across the land would take about 2-3 months. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; September 30, 2010 at 11:52:44 PM. |
