>>55404211OP here, not really, no. It consistently only takes me about 25 minutes to get to Petalburgh City in RSE, which is quick a bit less than the hour it took me to get to Jubilife City in DP. Getting the running shoes marginally faster is pretty irrelevant considering you don’t need to cover any large distances yet in either game.
>>55404230It is what it is, I enjoy the slower pacing of DPP just fine, that’s actually why I decided to play through Sinnoh at all even. I just forgot how significant the difference was.
I feel like I’m getting into the groove now though; I started on Saturday and have been playing for less than an hour a day, making significant but incremental bits of progress each day. I’m actually busy with work this week too, so I’ll probably just whittle away at the tasks in and around Jubilife over the course of the week and then head to Oreburgh on Friday.
Feels a bit odd since I’m used to getting my first badge on the same day that I start most Pokémon games, but I actually kinda like this pace, it’s more relaxing to spread out my progress and focus on completing small tasks leading up to the larger events, as opposed to just making big chunks of progress every time I play.
