>>41758808Alright finally. First I agree with you BW has many unnecessary scenes. But your list is just plain wrong. When you judge and compare games do it objectively and fairly. And for getting to the first gym town, yes XY has shorter stops.
I'm gonna take track of the time of how long the stops in gen 5 and 6. For right now I'm gonna go up to getting to the first town with a gym. I'm not gonna count getting the starter, first rival battle. I'm only gonna start counting stops after leaving the first town. For xy that's the second town.
BW
Leaving the first town actually starts with a catching tutorial. It takes 1m21s in the speedrun before you can move again in BW. The catching pokemon conversation lasts 6-8 seconds at the end of route. Then the unnecessary 5 second call comes in. Bianca and cheren walk ahead, it doesn't take 10s, it's 3s. Yes the pokecenter scene is annoying but takes 55s, not 2m35s. And having the stupid npcs tells us what's happeing is stupid and takes 5s, good job you counted right. Ghetsis's monologue takes 52s, not 1m48s. You really should mention the unessary fade out that lasts 4-5 seconds. N's encounter lasts 12s not 50s before you fight him. After the battle N leaves after 5s seconds. Cheren talks to you for 8s before you can start heading out again. In total after the battle 13s pass before you can move, not 35s. You leave town, get call, call lasts 3s. But lets add the time before you pick up, I've forgotten wether you can pick it manually or it's automatic, so 8-9s. But this call is stupid anyways since she shows up right after call. This scene of getting the running shoes is 55s. Still not your claimed 2 minutes. Stopped by bianca for 6s at end of route to battle. After battle Bianca leaves after 4 seconds. Finally at the gym city. In total the times you wrote add up to 9m48s. The actual time is 4m54s. Adding the bianca stop at the end of the route, it's 5m4s of stopping the player before getting to the first gym city. (1/2)
