4th Gen Does anyone think D/P is too slow?

[a2h]

I've been playing Pokemon Diamond for some time, and when I went back to LG, battles and text seemed so much faster.

Practically every animation takes longer, including Pokemon animations, move animations, HM animations, surf, etc

Does anyone agree that the D/P versions feel much more slow-paced?

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

Yeah, everything has been slowed down a notch, even if everything's on the fastest speed possible with no battle animations and fastest text, the gameplay still feels slow.

The only thing that's seemed "faster" is the ability to run inside with the Running Shoes.

yeah its too slow it bores me some times when i have to wait

I completely agree with you :/ It's especially annoying on wi-fi with all the Leftovers and Sandstorm..ugh..

 

[albinoballpython]

oh god yes! its terribly slow paced!

 

[Shiny Umbreon]

I feel the opposite. Am I wrong? When I play the GBA, the wild Pokémon move very slowly from the left to the right side of the screen (before it says "Wild ~ appeared!") and the bike seems slower, too. You can't run inside buildings. I don't feel the rest of the animations faster, though.

@Shiny Umbreon: compare the surf speed, and also compare the average animation length of an attack. You'll see what I'm talking about.

 

[Short Range]

Sorry but I think I'm gonna have to disagree. Try going to options and selecting fast text speed or hold down A with good timing when reading. =P

 

[a2h]

Try going to options and selecting fast text speed

That's what I do in EVERY Pokemon game as soon as I get the opportunity. And the topic isn't about text speed. Animations! -_-

 

[DrCoolSanta]

It is slow, and now D/P bores me, but i have to say none of the pokemon games had smooth animations, they just had to make it slow.

 

[BakingBluePotatoe]

can't they make ONE GAME with the RIGHT speed?

FR/LG/R/S/E is a little TOO fast (even for me)
D/P is SLOOOWWW...

 

[lightdash]

I disagree. The speed of D/P was never a problem with me, nor was it in older Pokemon games. And if you are going to tell me to look at Surf or do a battle, well it's just you then not me.

 

[Idiot!]

If I had the choice to lock the lousy 2 framed Pokémon animation, everything will be so much faster!

 

[a2h]

And if you are going to tell me to look at Surf or do a battle, well it's just you then not me.

I don't really think my brain would magically become overclocked (if it even is possible) after starting up LeafGreen right after Diamond.

 

[LethalTexture]

I would perfectly agree with you. If you play D/P for a day or two, then play the 3rd Gen games, you'll notice the difference in speed.

 

[PB.]

DP does seem slow, but the begining is a little slow to start with and theres lots of bits where you get talked to alot and you just have to keep pressing "A"

I agree with Shiny Umbreon.

Myabe you guys need to go into options and change the text speed?

 

[El Gofre]

Erm, you do realise under options you can change the text speed?

 

[Improfane]

People, please read before you post.

It isn't about text speed, it's about animation speed. Movement on the world map and in battles is horrifically slow.

 

[Short Range]

Yes but Text Speed is an animation as well. And Movement is fast with the bike on second gear.
