Defeated Ramos. Is it just me, or are the gym leaders not that hard? I'm sure there's a challenge mode somewhere, but I think you unlock that post-game or something. The only gym leader I've kinda had any form of a "challenge" was Korrina, and that's not counting the Mega Evolution battle. The gyms are much more interesting than the leaders, honestly. So anyway, all of my Pokémon except for Pikachu (which I was training due to being a bit under-leveled--Super Training is awesome) are fully-evolved, and I'm currently in the power plant. Shouldn't take me too long to get through, though considering I've got about 14:38 down on my log, and I got my fourth badge not too long ago, it wouldn't surprise me if these side-quests are the reasons why this game is rather long. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it, but I got my fourth badges in White and Black 2 in no more than several hours, not half a day's worth.
Of course, I am technically taking my time... and the grunts of Team Flare are ridiculously stupid, probably dumber than Rocket grunts. If they're not talking about being "stylish" or "fabulous" or whatever, they're being very forgetful and just taunt you. There better be a reason for their stupidity, or I'm just going to be very concerned as to why it is these evil villains like to hire stupid people to carry out their work. No wonder their plans always get foiled by ten-year-olds...
