Even then, the grinding half is still agonizingly slow. Especially money grinding since the money from the restaurant you get as part of the Manaphy-Hybrid side quest is real-time based as to when you can collect more of it, so the optimal money grinding method still remains either spamming Pay Day with a Meowth/Persian, or the Breeders in front of beaten gyms.
Would be nice if the Casino also gave us real-time income, given the whole point of taking it over is to get rich AND to have the sexy Casino Bunny Jennys at our beck and call, and as of currently we're only getting the latter out of the deal (which is fine and all, this is a porn parody, but money is also important, and Annabel promised me she'd make me rich by transferring ownership of the casino over to me).
