I like the Acro bike best! ^_^; The Mach is really too hard to control for my taste, and plus it's fun to get to do different tricks on the other one.
And by the way, this belongs in the R/S Games forum. *moved*

Achro, it's A LOT eaiser to handle. Plus it can do a buch of really good tricks. The mach one took me forever to get the hang of. I can barley do good corner on it...I should try and find my copy of ruby, havent played it in forever...then again I should find my gameboy before LeafGreen comes out.

Mach. I never had any problems controlling it since I've played Pokemon using ROMS and you can set it so the game runs faster than it normally does so I'm used to the fast speed.

Acro, because it is easier to control and you can do fun stuff.

I've always preferred the Mach Bike. After a whole lot of practise in the Sky Pillar (most of it a frustrated hour just getting to Rayquaza ;) ), I got pretty good at using one. Plus, it helps speed up travel across land, and even other things like egg hatching.

Toochache is right.
Besides, all you other members, stop complaining that the Mach Bike is hard to handle,
if you never practise biking with it, you will never feel the real magic of it.

well I use the mach bike most so I guess I like it better.
the mach bike is good for breeding eggs, 'cuz it goes faster so that's a plus
and you need the mach bike to be able to get to rayquaza so yeah...
I like the mach bike

For the sake of convenience, I say teh Mach bike. It moves much faster, and it can go to many more places than teh Achro Bikce can. The only places the achro bike can get you palces teh mach bike can't is teh volcano, that path where you can find a kekleon on the route where Feebas is, and that one portion of teh Safari zone. i honestly see no point i the tricks unless it's to get you somewhere.

The Acro bike is easier to handle but is slower and the Mach bike is harder to control but is faster. So I think its a tie. And sorry starting the thread in the wrong spot Kayleigh.

It depends. If u want something easier to control, the acro bike is ur best bet. But if u want to go faster, the mach bike is ur best bet. also, the mach bike can allow u to go up these sand dunes in mountain areas, and u will be "judged" on bycicle road.

Hmm... I like Acro bike. I think,it is very nice.

I prefer the Mach Bike, as it speeds up Egg-waiting-to-hatch times, it's necessary for Sky Pillar (and Illusion Pillar in Emerald), whilst you don't actually need the Acro Bike for anything other than rarer items and different Pokemon in the Safari Zone. Sure, it may be a bit harder to handle... but you'll get to places in half the time if you get it right.

Well, both have their own abilities. The Acro bike can jump, and the Mach bike can go up steep hillsides. I say they are both equal in likeability, as well as usefulness.

The Acro bike is cool and stuff with the jumps but the Mach Bike is faster.

That's right. Let's compare 'em.
The mach:
1. Can help breeding.
2. Can get through the broken floors stuff.
3. It can go fast.
The Acro:
1. Can get to those hard to reach places.
2. Can give unlimited time in the Safari Zone. (Bunny Hop)
3. Is easier to handle.
You're gonna have a hard time to compare.

Acro for sure. Trick and things... you can catch more pokemon using Acro bike in Safari Zone. It helps you a lot Near Fortree to build secrect base.

Mach for sure... Acro is even slower than FR/LG Running Shoes XD

This thread was revived 2 days before it would have not been allowed XD And anyways, I prefer Mach, but they are equal in use.

I prefer the mach bike, because for most parts you wouldn't need the acro bikes abilities, whereas twice the speed is always useful to have.

I guess the Programmers made the Acro Bike easier to handle, so that the Sky Pillar would be a bigger challenge. I like the Acro better cuz you can pop a wheelie on it. =D

I think the acro is better cause,you can do tricks on it and you can control it better.but the mach is fun to do the course with.

erm havent read the rest of the thread but
i think it depends what you want the bike for
see thats the whole point of having 2 bikes isnt it?

Mach bike, mainly for Egg Hatching, but the speed is helpful as well. I've used it for so long that the bike in FR/LG just seems slothful to me.

Acro, because you can pull a wheelie and smack into someone O_O;;

Mach, it goes faster than the acro.

My opinion is that it depends on what kind of person you are. If you like to get to places fast than you would probally want the Mach. If your a tricky person you probally want an Acro.^__^

Mach, because nothing beats riding full-speed at a wall and turning away at the very last second. ^^
The acro's so slow I may as well just run anyway... <<;

Neither bike is better than the other. They are both used for different things and both advance the game. Though, I do like racing the clock on the bike road with the arco bike.

the arco bike is easier to control, and on route 119(where you catch feebas) and the safari zone over some patches of water there are these white bridges that only arco bike can ride on, allowing you to get to a rare candy and a few rare pokemon. the mach bike is faster, gets you up the sky pillar, and also can go up mud slides, allowing you to fully travel some caves, and it gets faster breeding. so its a tie in my opinion.
