Best game since gen 4. Explicitly because it has less handholding, pointless events, and is shorter than gens 5-7 which is something I value more than any of the other changes.
Pokemon games just aren't interesting enough in their current format to be interesting for more than ~6-7 hours for a playthrough, or maybe 10ish on a first playthrough.
You generally have a team built and planned within the first several hours, and then coast through the rest of the game until the challenge picks up again at the end. A bit of coasting is fine, but if that part of the game drags on too long it just becomes boring.
If i'm being honest LGPE was actually the perfect length. I beat it in a couple afternoons on a weekend.
