Slicing, look at the homebrew scene, a lot of people are trying to still push the good parts, but like the early internet, there is adult content creeping in.
Let the DS evolve to the next stage and become more mature(but not the creepy "Touching is good" idealisms)
Well since Pokemon is one of the biggest franchises and there are people who can finish the main story within 3 hours(i forgot what the record was) and any devotion to 100% complete the game could take up to 200 hours (not even close to finishing, but I think i surpassed the 210hr mark), 20 straight hours might be an overstatement, depending on the skill of the players.
70+ missions does sound like overkill, but with co-op, it should be fun until you hit.... 58 missions or so?
Well if it is comparable to the addictiveness of Diamond or TWEWY(both which i've spent at least 200 hours on), then kudos for Nintendo for making a more grown-up style game.
I wonder what'll be next, stock markets?
I'll only get this game if it doesn't stereotype my ancestry, if it does, BURN THE HECK OUT OF IT.
