Played 4 hours with my friend while audio chatting and had a good time. Took 2 hours for us to finally reach the usual first big Pokemon city (Viridian, Rustboro, etc) but 9-10 different Pokemon along the way. But we were busy talking and kind of ignored a lot of important texts. The rotom map with its destination marker really helped us since we got distracted easily. The new camera angle also makes it more challenging to figure which destination to go but later on a lot of obstacles are blocking your path to follow your true destination making the game feel more linear.
