Thank you, gasgpmo."Took time" sounds all right, at least to me. If it's not, it's "took the time", but that's not a big deal.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's "any time". But check here for further reference.
Yeah, I kind of figured it was an error with the original localization. Don't worry about it too much; nobody's perfect, even professional translators.
So, do these Gym Leader replacements mean Leaders like Skyla won't be in-game? Just wondering.
Yeah, Skyla has been replaced by Winona in this game. Even though it's mentioned that Skyla's in Hoenn for little time, there's no way to script Skyla's return, which means she's not in the game anymore.
