I am 14 hours into Insurgence. I want to go on and get my dream team of Delta Ludicolo/Reuniclus/Avalugg/Magnezone, but I think there is just too much padding and the game is too unbalanced. 14 hours in and my delta Blastoise is already level 50. I haven't even reached Helios City yet. There are far, far too many enemy trainers, they have too many Pokemon, and their Pokemon level up too fast. I have tried levelling up my Nidoking, but he just isn't levelling up fast enough to become relevant. I've put him at the front of my party, and at the start of every battle I switch to Blastoise so Blastoise can do the job (whereas if I stick to Nidoking then he inevitably gets one or two shotted without having taken out any enemy Pokemon). Same problem when I try levelling up other Pokemon like Magneton or Crustle. So I only get to use Blastoise and battles are extremely tedious, and there are just too many battles. At this rate it will be another 20 hours of slog before I can finally have the cool designs, and I won't be even half way done with the story (from what I hear there are 3 episodes. I presume the first episode is just Torren? My gosh is this a 100+ hour long game?).
Does it get better?
