Traveling Style?
In the Pokemon games you have 4 (or 5) ways to travel.
Walking, Biking, Flying, (and) Surfing, (and) Teleporting... Which one do you use the most, and why? |
Walking at increased speed. Clearly superior to anything.
If increased speed is not an option, the bike will have to do though, unfortunately. |
I'll just run, thanks. I don't like Surfing at all. Flying is meh, but I don't make it a priority to have a Flier on my teams. And bikes...just don't get through tall grass and snow and yeah. :(

running burns carb lol.
I prefer to walk/run. It's enjoying to see the scenery change as I cross through the region. Also, I have more chances to battle with wild Pokemons and trainers. Running is better than walking, however; the latter is a tad bit too slow. If I have to use a bike, then it'd have to be the mach bike (or just switch the gear). That's only the case when I need to get somewhere quick. Swimming is horrible in the Pokemon world, a place where Tentacools rule. There's nothing worthwhile about it. It's just full of Tentacools and the occasional Wingulls/Seels/Krabby. Flying is a really great way to get to places, but I dislike how the journeys are so quick. It'd be so cool if there's a cutscene in between... I don't mess with teleportation. :( |
I use Flying most frequently, when I have to get from one faraway place to another. I also use it to force roaming Pokemon to change places.
|
I usually walk/run places unless it's far away, then I use fly.
I only use my bike when I'm breeding. I'm impatient and figure biking will get me more steps more quickly. |
I use fly when things are far away. But I normally Run/Bike if I'm close. And I only Surf in water (which is quite rare anyways).
|
I don't fly much nowadays since I rarely have a flier in my party. I usually don't use my bike in Heart Gold because I like my Pokémon following me :3
|
Flying. Other than that, walking/running with my Pokemon in HG.
|
Walking, flyings just tedious and who doesn't want to see their pokemon behind them :D
|
I go with walking/running because flying just takes away the point of things like the magnet train and the SS aqua. If I want to go from Johto to Kanto(or vice versa) I would just use one of those methods(usually SS aqua). As for Surfing; I find myself surfing only when I need to or if I'm trying to train an electric Pokemon or something.
|
Walking and Running, mainly - I love seeing my pokemon behind me!
|
I bike or fly, sometimes when I'm lazy, I fly to somewhere really close because I can't be bothered to bike/walk to the PokeCenter~
|
It's a tie between biking and flying. I only use biking when it's necessary, and flying when I don't feel like biking would just love to travel to the next city. xD
|
It's Fly first, then running/biking/Surfing second. If it's far away, I'd Fly there. If wherever I want to go is close by, I'd run or bike or even Surf there.
|
My first catch was a Pidgey. I always get a flying type on my team, I make it learn fly, it enjoys it, and thats how I travel.
: ) |
I bike and I fly. But I tend to use my bike more. I hate surfing and runnning, too slow.
Walking is only good in the beginning of the game. |
Biking, because it is faster than walking but lets you see verything and inspect everyhtin unlike fliying
|
I usually Run places, or walk but mainly run, I never have time or can never be bothered to use the Bike, and Flying, I only fly if I want to get to a certain place that's far away, obviously, so overall - Running.
|
I bike to close places because it's far more efficient. I fly to far off ones for the same reason.
|
I haven't used my bike since HG/SS due to the fact I love seeing my 'mon following me.
I usually run everywhere, but when I get into a patch of grass I walk. Running may not increase the encounter rate much, but I tend to get annoyed if I'm trying to go somewhere and keep having to battle level 10s. >_> If it's really far away though, I do fly. |
I typically use the running shoes to run which I guess might fall under walking. I feel like the character is moving fast enough that I don't feel like it's taking forever to get across the screen while it's not moving so fast that I'm constantly crashing into things.
Next up would be biking which is just below how much I walk on the games. Although I try to keep it on the low gear because I hate crashing everywhere like I just said. :( Then flying just because it's convenient and some towns/cities are a huge pain to get to with all grass routes and caves. Surfing is my next one which I always dread doing. I make sure to buy a ton of Max Repels before hand because of the amount of wild Pokemon encounters is ridiculous. Last is teleporting. I rarely have a Pokemon on me that knows the move and even when I do I end up replacing it with a different move in a short amount of time. |
I usually fly whenever I can, even if it's just from one town to the next. (Cause some times you have to deal with HM obstacles and I can't be bothered getting a pokemon for that...even if the towns are right next to each other.
If it's very small distance I'll walk/run/bike (or if I know a route will be simple and quick to get through, e.g not like the route between Eruteak and Mahogany) I don't usually surf with the intention of getting to a destination (unless it's somewhere like whirl islands) For example I'd always fly to Cianwood City. I very very rarely Teleport/Dig, because usually I don't have a pokemon with me to transport me in those ways. If I'm going into a cave I might bring a digging pokemon with me. |
I always run around, unless I'm headed somewhere far away, then I'll use Fly.
I like seeing my Pokemon following behind me, plus that running toggle in HG/SS is just so darn handy~ :3 The only time I use the Bike is when I'm forced to use it on Cycling Road or when I'm breeding/hatching things. I usually don't have a Pokemon that knows Teleport or Dig, so I don't really use those, but I do always keep someone with Surf and someone with Fly handy when I'm going through the game. |
I usually fly everywhere that is far away from where I am. Usually I run around, especially if its just a short distance, my running shoes come in handy for this.
I usually never have a Pokemon with the moves Teleport/Dig, since I really see no use for them, if I could always run out of a cave, or any other sticky situation. As for the the bike, its only when I hatch eggs that I use it, or when I MUST use it on Cycling Road, but sometimes, I do catch myself using it just to listen to the cool music. |
