I don't know if any one has pointed this out, but I find one situation completely abstract.

Apologies if I sound a bit jerky, but Blair and Fantasia make it through route 1, get to the ferry city, get on a boat, and head to Grand City. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but really? Has no one blinked an eye at this? I'm sorry if I'm acting a bit like a jerk Sho and MF, but over the course of one day, you make it to not only one but two cities while everyone else is struggling to get out of the starting city and pass route two.

Kind of outlandish, right?
