    See title.


    In games one can't run, I have the bike. In games one can, a fishing rod.

    I expect either of the bikes to be typical, but I was curious, since as of the third generation the player character can run via means of the appropriate shoes, to see if this has changed since I was a sprightly wee trainer myself.

    Well, I barely used the Bikes in the 3rd Gen, as you run rather fast, and I found D/P/Pt's Bike a nuisance. So, usually a Rod.
    But with HG/SS's use of two registered items, the Bike and a Rod or Dowsing MCHN.

    I personally find equipping my Bike with Select is useful in any game.
    In HeartGold, I either had my Berry Pots (Yeah, I actually grew my own berries) or the Dowsing Machine.

    Always got my bike at hand, though in HG/SS where you can have 2 registered, I also assign my Berry Pots. Growing berries is fun. Although, when im fishing for training or to catch a pokemon etc, Ill assign my rod so I dont have to keep opening bag, then re-assign bike & pots afterwards

    Bike or VS Seeker, depending on whether I'm looking for battles or not. A rod if I'm fishing of course.

    Same! In HG/SS I have my Berry Pots and my Bike registered on the touch-screen. In all other versions, it's just me wheels. :]

    In Platinum and Pearl I have Pokeradar assigned there at all times being that both games are complete and I don't need the bike anymore. XD
    Chaining is my favorite hobby in that one. ^^

    For SoulSilver I have both the bike and the Dowsing MCHN registered.

    Generation 3.. I usually have the bike there.. but as it's been said above, the running speed keeps me pretty satisfied most of the time. :3

    If possible, the Vs. Seeker is assigned to select. In HG/SS, I have my Berry Pots (I'm going to grow 100 Leppa berries 8D) and the Dowsing Machine.

    The bike; always, unless I'm doing something specific at the time e.g. fishing.

    And the second one for HGSS is the berry pots.

    I have my Dowsing Machine and Good Rod handy on Soul Silver.

    I use the Dowsing Machine quite a bit, I scour every inch of the cities and town of Johto.

    Bike is my shortcut in every game except for HG. I like my Pokémon following me too much so I never use the bike, so instead I usually have the berries out or the itemfinder. :>
