With an adequate amount of grinding and training, along with exploring the new features I had all 16 badges by the 21st hour. Im currently training to take on Red and have a more comfortable level range for that battle.

I'm trying to go slow, too. I have 45h and I'm at Blackthorn City; got the game on Wednesday.

I should have it done in about two weeks :P I'm a Pokemon Collector / Breeder, so I put a lot of extra time into certain things.

I agree, I am at about 45 hours as well at Blackthorn City. I have a job and school, so I usually don't have that much time to play it. I care a lot about making my pokemon all around the same level, and I want to do everything that I have to in each city. Also, I walk all the way back (well now I have Fly) when I get a call about someone who found something they wanted to share (I think it's Liz and Wade?). Did anyone notice that it's become harder to level up? I use the in-game battles as comparisons on where I should be with my team level-wise, and the Team Rocket Executive had a level 38 houndour...that was a little bit hard.

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

It took me a week to get 16 gym badges, right now I've got a team with an average of about level 78 training for red.

I think you guys spend too much time playing this ... I haven't beat the Elite 4 because I'm still raising a few Pokemon you should savor the experience.

Took me about 4-5 days and about 4 tries to defeat Red. Now planning to get a second DS unit so I can start trading over some stuff to my Heart Gold.
