The initial adventure in Johto is a great length. Its short enough to make it fairly quick, but long enough and doesn't drag it on and on.
Kanto is optional, so its your own pace.
If you have shame for playing Pokemon, then you should feel even worse about playing an Xbox 360 or a PS3. Even more kids play those consoles then Pokemon.
Its a game, you are not nearly important enough for people to make a deal out of it. Get over it.
Game is great, but like the games before it, it has flaws:
1. Voltorb Flip: I understand the ban in the EU, but to replace it with something as stupid as this? PLUS the fact that can't just buy the coins anymore. So dumb.
2. Lack of decent training areas. Seriously. Its quite a pain hen...
