> Pokémon Red takes 25 hours on average for a new player to complete.
Seriously? I've never really played video games, but i remember spending so much time on pokemon red when i was young. Not sure if i ever really finished more than once. But i'm pretty sure i must have played for more than 50h or so before even close to finish. My memory might trick me though.
Not sure which pokemon version it was, but i got so hooked trying to get this "secret" pokemon which was just a bunch of pixels. Some kind of bug (of the game, not the type of pokemon). You had to do specific things in a park and other things and then surf up and down x-times on the right shore of an island... or something like that.
I had no idea how it worked and got so hooked, i must have spent most of my playing time on things like that.
It definitely took me way more than 25 hours as a kid to beat Pokemon Blue! But I was so young that I didn't understand that "Oak: Hello!" meant that someone called Oak was talking.
The glitched Pokemon you're talking about is Missingno by the way! I remember surfing up and down Cinnabar Island to do the same thing.
There’s a guy on Youtube named JRose11 who is on a quest to beat Pokemon Red with all 151 of the original Pokemon individually. He’s about 100 Pokemon in at this point. He doesn’t use crazy speedrunning tactics (he wants to approximate a normal-ish playthrough) but because he knows exactly where to go, what to do and what’s skippable almost all of his runs are under 10 hours (many are under 6 and he did it with Mewtwo in just under 2).
