    I just thought about this the other day...what text speed do you use? I personally use the "fast" text speed, and I can't imagine using a lower speed. I guess I am too impatient. ^__^; Anybody else use a different speed, and why do you prefer it?

    Fast for me too. It's always been fast.

    But it's annoying how in black and white when the trainer talks at the end of battle, it doesn't wait for you to press A after you finish reading like it did in previous generations and it really is too fast sometimes.

    I always go for the fastest option as it feels like a drag when I choose any other option.

    I always pick fast as well. I can't stand a slower rate because then I read fast so I have to press A constantly if it's a slower speed.

    I don't think there is anyone who would use Slow/Medium text speed XD; I have patience and even I feel like throwing my Ds out the window when its going really slow. Thank god for the instant message speed code :D

    Fast and only fast. Every game. Nothing less. Slow/medium are just...no. Why would I even want that?

    Fast. But when I started playing Diamond, the text seemed SO SLOW compared to White. DX;

    I'm a fast reader, so I always have to select the fast option for the text. Slow/medium text speed makes me so impatient.

    I almost always go to the fastest text option in absolutely any game I play. In Pokémon, even fast isn't fast enough for me. :( I wish it'd show up instantly.

    I honestly don't know how anyone could use something slower. I think if I knew someone who used "slow" I'd probably disown them if I ever tried to play their game. xD

    Fast. I'm too impatient. And those long events when everyone's continuously talking will doom me if I set it on anything near slow. I'd rather read, then hit A if I can't catch up.

    I always have the text speed on fast. I always seem to be waiting for the text to move.

    I have mine on whatever the default setting is. I never really got a problem with text speed.

    I've used "fast" for years, ever since I first noticed the text setting (probably late gen 1, maybe gen 2). Even that setting is slower than I would like, but it works well enough. I think I used "medium" for a few months when I first played Red Version, but I would probably go nuts if I tried to play it on that setting nowadays.

    I always keep it on medium for the first play through and keep the battle animations on, however once I play through the game again I set the text to fast and turn the battle animations off.
