Text Speed
 
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, definetly. Although medium is probably normal talking speed.

Slow text speed is just painfully slow. Can't stand it.

Beechlgz March 14th, 2011 8:33 AM

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.

Palkia March 14th, 2011 9:03 AM

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

Raichu1988 March 14th, 2011 9:22 AM

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

Sydian March 14th, 2011 9:52 AM

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

Eurydice March 14th, 2011 10:49 AM

i have no clue what mine is set on mostly cause i have it kept on the default setting. *checks* mine be set on medium

MeiChama March 14th, 2011 1:53 PM

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

Meganium March 14th, 2011 1:57 PM

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.

Cherrim March 14th, 2011 5:37 PM

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

Rai March 14th, 2011 6:10 PM

I have it set up fast because it's so slow otherwise x.x

GoGoShinyDunsparce March 14th, 2011 7:19 PM

That was always the first thing I did on a new pokemon game, set the text speed to fast. Wouldn't have it any other way

Princess Pichu March 14th, 2011 8:51 PM

I can't stand having it slow, it just bothers me. Lol. I speed read, so I always have it on fast. Lol.

The Corrupt Plague March 14th, 2011 9:03 PM

It's always on fast no matter what game it is. I'm a very quick reader and slow text can get very irritating.

Binary March 14th, 2011 9:53 PM

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.

solarowl March 14th, 2011 10:26 PM

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

Sabrewulf238 March 14th, 2011 11:30 PM

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

Imperator161 March 14th, 2011 11:33 PM

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.

jcsimpson March 14th, 2011 11:38 PM

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.

PlatinumDude March 15th, 2011 2:45 AM

I used to use the medium speed setting, with me holding down the A or B button to speed up the text, but nowadays, I just go for fast speed.

ShinyMeowth March 15th, 2011 4:51 AM

Turning it to fast is the first thing I do when I get a new game. I have no idea how people can stand anything else.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 15th, 2011 6:29 AM

Fast speed. If I want to take the time to read the text I will, but if I don't then I want to be able to speed through it.

Roughsponge March 15th, 2011 6:56 AM

Always have and always will use the fastest speed :) Sometimes I forget to change the speed when I start a new game and it drives me mental even after only 2 minutes of the 'medium' setting.

vaporeon7 March 15th, 2011 1:19 PM

Fast and only ever fast. Slow and medium take too long and I am a fast reader. I'd like to see someone who likes there's on slow.
