It is precisely the passing of day and night that makes you feel like you're on a grand journey but you can't get a taste of that in the games because of how slow it is. And gameplay-wise, making the cycle faster lets you do more time-based events within a given amount of time, for example you don't need to wait 12~ hours to catch nocturnal pokemon, or wait a whole week for something that only happens on a specific day. And so gamefreaks would be able to add more tome-based events because it is now easier to access them.
Any competent game designer would have been able to think of this problem when they were designing the in-game clock system, and that is why most games that have the system has "fast" time, and so I don't know why gamefreaks insists on basing it on realtime.
