    Are you finished with playing through the game's storyline? If you are, then how long did it take you to finish it, approximately? If you aren't, then how far are you into the game, and how long are you expecting it to take before you're able to have it fully completed?

    As for myself, I've been able to finish the only yesterday. ^^ It's taken me about three days to complete it. I've defeated about five gym leaders on my first day, as I've played the game for more than six hours in total. On the second day, I've managed to beat the last three gyms and gotten myself up to the Elite Four. On the third, I've taken down the champion. After that, the game was pretty much over.

    The game was a lot shorter than I had hoped, so I was quite disappointed about that. Would've been much better if it was a bit longer, and kept us busy for a few additional days. They do have some side-quests for you to do after the game, but they don't necessarily count, as they're not a part of the main story. d:

    • Lol nope.... unlike everyone else, I have been exploring everything and only using EXP Share when I am behind. At the moment I am about 10 or 11 hours into the game and just now got the 3rd badge. At this rate it will take me a lot of time, not to mention I will have to train a lot for the E4.

    People really should try not to use EXP Share. It makes the game more challenging and takes more time. I have actually been defeated by a random trainer (Hawlucha is a heck of a lot stronger than it appears) and the first two gym leaders. I did sweep the whole 3rd gym with Honedge though.

    • Have to agree that it was entirely too quick even without exp share, if you let me have a Garchamp, Slamence, Charizard, Lucario and give me the weakest elite 4 to date with a push over champion i'm going to blow through the game. And I did my best to capture every pokemon I could and explore every nook of the game.

    Extremely disappointed with how short the game was

    I just got my 6th badge, and so far I've barely encountered Team Flare. Heck, I don't even know what their general intentions are besides "we do what we want". Also after I got my mega ring, stuff dies soooo easily with my charizard. Got a lvl 52 greninja, 48 charizard and rest of my pokemon are around the level 45, the ones I'm using in battle because else it will be too easy. Currently using Absol and Heliolisk and sometimes Simisage to make stuff a bit harder.

    I do hope there's more stuff to do after I beat the champion and all the sidequests. Else I'll be disappointed as well.

    • Beat it on the night of my 4th day (well, it was past midnight I believe so the 5th day really. :p) I can't complain, I made sure to make it last by having a good go at trying to "catch 'em all" and I enjoyed every second of it. ^^

    • Beat it after 3 days as well. 26 hours total playtime. Champion was too easy, everything was too easy. Also have all the catchable legendaries, Yveltal, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zygarde. Only thing left is to get all the night Mega Stones now that I've triggered it with the event.

    I see a lot of people complaining about how short this game was. How long did the others take you? I haven't noticed this one being much shorter than any other. Regardless have you completed the Dex? That is the point in all the games, the story has always been like a side point.

    • 50 hours log in and I just finish catching Yveltal. I like to take my time exploring everything, when I get a new HM I backtrack to old places to search for hidden items and etc. Catch pokemon for the 'dex.

    I really enjoy the story of Y, it was quite edgier than old pokemon game, mentioning about literally killing off Pokemon because they would cause the new world Team Flare is creating to be ruin by fighting.

    It took me about 40 hours to finish because I got distracted all the time by all the different things that you could do. Been too busy catching all the Pokémon that I can find!

    well the game doesn't necessarily feel short but it most likely does to you because you rushed through the game. Did you actually take the time to go and explore the cool places around Kalos rather than just ONLY focus on the main quest?

    • I was expecting myself to slowly roam the new game; But I end up finishing it in 3 days too...

    And it seems I was just in a dream or something - It was quite fast considering how I thought I will take forever (Because of the wide gaps between the first 2 Gyms).
