This Ridiculous Pokémon Load Time Is Fake

There's a new Pokémon game. It's called Pokémon X/Y and recently gameplay was showed off on Japanese television. Don't worry; the game doesn't appear to have ridiculously long load times.

The above GIF is a fake! This is gameplay footage that has been given a long "Now Loading..." screen. As several Kotaku commenters have pointed out, this is a loading screen from the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Here's the actual load screen.

Now, whether this load time is too long, that's up to you to decide!
