I really love the idea of having Ralts as a starter, and also I naturally breed all my shiny's and competitive pokemon so i'm kinda used to mundane tasks~
I have Netflix on my other monitor so it's not that bad, after about an hour I was just doing it out of spite to see how long it took.
My patience is all used up though at this point, I don't think i'll be playing the game anymore unless my whining somehow accomplishes something and they raise the odds. Which is sad, because the rival is really intriguing so I was looking forward to playing out the story, and the music so far is reallly good!
If I could change anything else about the game it would be adding the ability to have a female protagonist with non-pink hair. The guy designs look really cool and well-done, I don't want bubblegum hair ;~;
Also obedience level-caps are always mundane and stressful to get around, at least they were in Reborn since I prefer having a few dedicated and trained pokemon rather than six medium ones.
Also @Wolfox you're really, really, really overvaluing the concept of having a Ralts as a starter if you think getting one should have the same odds of the lottery.
Riolu aside, Eevee and Ralts are actually really bad starters. The fact that it takes 10 minutes max for a Protean Froakie, currently dominating the OU metagame, and i'm no closer to a Ralts five hours in super dumb to me.
