Bike or Walk
 
hey guys how often do you use your bike?
I USED TO USE IT EVERY WHERE BUT NOW I WALK (ITS HEALTHIER OR IS IT)

PlatinumDude June 20th, 2012 9:17 PM

I usually run/walk, but I only use the bike when I'm either hatching eggs or need to get to other places quickly

Ho-Oh June 20th, 2012 11:05 PM

Bikes aren't specific to Black and White so imma throw this over to PGC. If this is already made and I missed it feel free to kill mr Syd. :3

As for me I use the bike as often as I can. Favorite feature in any games basically. XD;

I like riding the bike for the speed, but I hate trying to manoeuvre around things and it gets annoying, so I usually run in towns and routes, then bike in caves.

Draconicsoul June 21st, 2012 5:51 AM

Personally? I hate all the bike music, as well as trying to maneuver around things. Like doors. The bike in BW is my least favorite, and the Acro bike is the coolest. (I like bouncing and popping wheelies, partly because I can't ride a bike in real life.) The BW bike is too fast, and I only really use it when I'm crossing Skyarrow bridge. I tend to forget to get off of it, and wind up slamming into walls when I'm trying to get into a building.

I prefer using my Running Shoes everywhere, even when it increases an already-high encounter rate. (I don't run on Route 7, though. The encounter rate is too high already.) I have my running shoes set to 'always' in HG, so I don't wear out my B button quite AS much.

So, yeah, Running all the way.

I'll usually ride my bike when backtracking, but I won't use it the first time through a new area.

Chaos Dragon June 21st, 2012 11:14 AM

In-game I hate the bicycle... it's beyond clunky.

In the real world, I love riding bicycles. I was an endurance racer growing up and even learned how to ride a bicycle on an adult mountain-cycle long before I could even walk without assistance.

Hikamaru June 21st, 2012 1:39 PM

I love the bike, that's the reason I hate routes with really tall grass.

The reason why I love the bike, it's so I can get around faster!

Sydian June 21st, 2012 2:52 PM

Usually I run. If my bike is registered, I might use it, but in games with the Vs. Seeker, that's usually registered so eh. Too lazy to get the bike out in that case.

Ultimate Uchiha June 21st, 2012 8:29 PM

I usually prefer to walk than ride the bike especially in HG/SS when your pokemon follow you. I'm just not the biggest fan of the cycling music and I would rather not have to listen to it.

Zephele June 21st, 2012 8:36 PM

I always used to use the bike, but now I usually run unless I plan on going long distance, or if the road's straightforward enough to ride the bike on. I find the bike too fast at times, making it feel really clunky to zigzag through narrower pathways.

The one game in particular where I hardly use the bike is HeartGold - watching my Pokemon follow behind me is just too cute, haha.

Perriechu June 22nd, 2012 12:50 AM

I barely use my bike. I don't use it all in fact lol. I only use it when forced like as in the Cycling Road. I don't even pick it up in most games. (i.e ones where cycling road is an option).

Kikaito plush June 22nd, 2012 1:40 AM

to be honest I am never off the bike part from indoor areas as it is so much faster that walking everywhere.

Cid June 22nd, 2012 2:14 AM

I used to always have the bike set to Select in older gens. Then I realized two generations after the introduction of running shoes that being on foot is more pleasing to lazy people like me. So after that discovery, I didn't use the bike as often. I still use it at times, but the walk-bike ratio is far from even.

Wendle June 22nd, 2012 7:35 AM

I've got into the habbit of pressing the B button down where ever I go.

RivalGator June 22nd, 2012 11:36 AM

I tend to find myself running most of the time. I always forget that I have a bike. XD I will use it sometimes, but not always. I tend to have no flying types on my in-game team, so I find myself hoofing it a lot.

Rivvon June 22nd, 2012 11:53 AM

I'm with PlatinumDuke on this one: I'll ride my bike if I need to hatch eggs. Otherwise I walk/run. As silly as it sounds, I tend to bump into a lot of stuff while riding bikes, so I'd rather just run.

Renegade1 June 22nd, 2012 3:25 PM

I bike everywhere, unless I can fly, then I fly.

psyanic June 22nd, 2012 7:00 PM

I don't bike very often, oddly enough. Typically I run everywhere, because I have something else registered and just don't bother with registering the bike. Besides, it's easier to run now since you don't have to register anything!

Jellicent♀ June 22nd, 2012 8:53 PM

More like how often do I use my running shoes over my bike. My bike is almost always out, and going. I hate how slow walking is, and running is almost just as, and I like to blast through the games.

Meganium June 22nd, 2012 10:02 PM

I....use a little of both xD.

Walking and running are convenient whenever I'm not much of a rush to do anything. I use the bike when I want to get to a destination asap, or I am just too impatient to hatch an egg. But most of the time I prefer to walk. My character needs the exercise, ya know! :D

Killjoy June 23rd, 2012 10:28 AM

I usually ride my bike, unless I'm in HG/SS, cause I like the Follow Me feature more than the added speed of a bike

Haseyo June 23rd, 2012 10:39 AM

Depends on the version. Sometimes the bikes are stupid fast and I run into walls constantly, but sometimes they're decent. I usually run, but in huge cities or long paths that I've cleared every trainer in, I'll bike.

The Corrupt Plague June 23rd, 2012 12:02 PM

I tend to register the bike the second I get it. I usually use it for long distances across multiple routes.

Zayphora June 23rd, 2012 5:44 PM

I, like, never use the bike. The music is dumb. I just don't like the thing.
