>>44700841>Ludonarrative dissonance. Pokemon journeys have always been implied to take a long time. It's never reflected properly in gameplayNah, Pokemon regions are just that small. Everything in games is to scale, because if they weren't, Game Freak would've made everything bigger in Sword and Shield since they wouldn't have had any hardware constraints. It really does only take 10 hours to fight your way across all of Galar and beat the champion because it's actually as small as St Kitts is in real life.
