"You don't have to press the B button anymore!"
 
In the distant past, the player must be required to press and hold the B button to run. However, in HG/SS, this method was replaced by a stylus that allows the player to automatically run at his/her will.

This is probably the greatest change done to the remake. It's sooooooooooooo much easier traveling to places now. I wasn't a big fan of bicycling; I mainly traveled the region via running, swimming, and flying. Now I don't have the fear of breaking my B button anymore.

So, who else idolizes this grand innovation as much as I do?

Do you even use this feature?

PokéSwimmer May 20th, 2011 9:40 PM

I love this feature. I think it was meant to encourage people to travel by foot so they could make more use of the "follow me" feature. It's a real shame they took it out of Black and White.

I also quite liked the feature, and thought it should have been introduced earlier.

And then B/W came along without the small yet useful featuree. Sure, it's minor, but why should anyone have to hold the button if they want to go faster?

I loved it! Very Useful and saved time! Shame they got rid of it in black and white :/

So, who else idolizes this grand innovation as much as I do?: I enjoyed being able to run without holding down the B Button.

Do you even use this feature?: Yes, I did. I never turned the Running Shoes off either.

This feature made my life so much easier, wish they would have stuck with it.

Oh well, there's always next generation...

Scraggy123 May 21st, 2011 5:10 AM

I prefer using the bicycle but still a great feature.

p3ndu1um May 21st, 2011 5:50 AM

I never noticed it to be honest with you, but I've always used the "B" button.

Giratina ♀ May 21st, 2011 7:16 AM

I didn't like this feature very much at all. It felt kinda... unnatural. XD I kept on using the B button, just as I always did.

JamesJL98 May 21st, 2011 7:34 AM

I think it's a nice feature, but I use the bicycle more than I run.

Rainbow-Starlight May 21st, 2011 9:40 AM

It makes things much easier since I always use the touch screen on this game and love running with my Pokémon. :)

FrostPheonix May 22nd, 2011 1:44 AM

Best thing ever!
Unluckily, old habits are hard to break. I still involuntarily click b when I need to run...

King N May 22nd, 2011 1:51 AM

I also still press b
even when cycling

Shining Raichu May 22nd, 2011 5:24 AM

I didn't really even notice the feature, I just held B regardless. It's never been that much of a hassle for me lol

Harmonie May 22nd, 2011 7:07 AM

I don't use it. Just feels a little unnatural to me. Sometimes I just prefer to walk, as well.

BattleBeard May 22nd, 2011 7:10 AM

Whenever the third Black/White thing comes out, it'll probably have this awesome invention. And the follow me feature.

After all, more awesome, yet minor features in the third version = more money for Gamefreak!

I never use it. I just miss my following Pokemon!

institutions May 22nd, 2011 7:14 AM

I loved it. I always run/fly everywhere so it was great for me :D
The only time I ever use the bike is when i'm hatching eggs.
It's very inconvenient to have to equip your bike everytime you come out of a building.

I was devastated when I saw they didn't put it in Black and White.
Now I have to hold down B everywhere D:

skyluigi2 May 22nd, 2011 7:59 AM

I don't like it.
I don't use it.

I definitely prefer using the B button.
... I just do.

I really liked it! Really helpfull, but pressing the B button isn't a problem either.

ElectricScyther May 22nd, 2011 9:38 AM

I just use B. It's a habit.

PickupTeam May 22nd, 2011 11:04 AM

I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Obviously they want you to run so your pokemon follows you. I rarely use the bike unless I'm in a hurry, and never when training.

Amore May 22nd, 2011 11:47 AM

I loved it, personally. Not least because the general focus on the use of the touch-screen in Hg/Ss led to me developing my ability to hold a stylus in my right-hand, which then led to a much more enjoyable gaming experience (not having to swap between D-Pad and Stylus with my left hand all the time).

Aquacorde May 22nd, 2011 4:50 PM

I quite liked this feature, mainly because I feel like holding down the B button all the time is bad for my DS. :<

jcsimpson May 22nd, 2011 6:10 PM

I loved the feature but only discovered it after the fourth gym cause I'm retarded.

LyokoGirl5000 May 22nd, 2011 7:37 PM

I only used it once. It felt strange to run and not hold the B button, so I turned it off. I'm weird like that.
