* MATH TIME: It takes the weight of 17.4 Zubats to equal the weight of one Slaking. Therefore, you'd spend about 17 times longer in Mount Moon than you normally would. Now let's sassume that the heaviest Pokemon in 3rd gen were inside Mount Moon; Kyogre would be worth 46.9 Zubats, Snorlax would be 61.3 Zubats, Metagross would be 73.3 Zubats, and Groudon would be worth a whopping 126.7 Zubats!! Now, assuming running away from a regular Zubat (or any Pokemon with no abilities that prolongs the start of the battle) in this game takes about 3 seconds (give or take), the time wasted per encounter would be...
---
Slaking: 52.2 seconds
Kyogre: 140.7 seconds (or about 2 minutes, 20 seconds)
Snorlax: 183.9 seconds (or about 3 minutes, 4 seconds)
Metagross 219.9 seconds (or about 3 minutes, 40 seconds)
Groudon: 380.1 seconds (or about 6 minutes, 20 seconds)

Now multiply that by the number of Zubats Drake encountered in his [url=http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,7977.msg512159.html#msg512159]Adventures of Drake and Pudding thread[/url] and you get approximately the amount of time spend in Mount Moon, in addition to trainer battles and just walking around:
---
Slaking: 1461.6 seconds (or about 24 minutes)
Kyogre: 3939.6 seconds (or about 1 hour, 6 minutes)
Snorlax 5149.2 seconds (or about 1 hour, 26 minues)
Metagross: 6157.2 seconds (or about 1 hour, 43 minutes)
Groudon: 10642.8 seconds (or about 2 hours, 57 minutes (might as well be 3 hours, then))

Not nearly as long as I thought. I expecting Rip Van Winkle-levels of time warping shenanigans in this place :V Oh well, back to the game!
