Acro & Mach Bike

Which one will you use more often, and why? Do you think they'll add any new environmental obstacles that you'll need the two bikes to overcome? Would you have rather seen them combine the two into one bike that changes gears, or do you like that they kept it the same as it was in the original RSE games? |
I'm gonna go with the Mach Bike I guess. I like riding fast to point A to B albeit being harder to control. Either way, I think I will interchange them both form time to time, if the feature returns.
|
Acro Bike for me 'cause the Mach Bike was too fast for me back in the RSE gen. >.>
^_^ |
Just have gears. Or have an Abra Teleport the other bike to you whenever you need it.
|
The Mach Bike. It's more fun for me to go faster.
Gotta say I would have rather they just done the gear shift. The two bikes being separate was a waste of time. The areas exclusive to them weren't big enough or memorable enough to leave any sort of impression for me. |
Depends. I like the Acro Bike but as of late I've just been using the Running Shoes (or the Rollerblades in X and Y) instead of any bicycle.
|
Mach bike overall. I'd only use the Acro bike for exploring areas accessible to them, or exploiting the bunny hop in chasing [email protected] with Repels. The Mach is faster, so it hence has that advantage.
Sure wish we could have both bikes rather than have to go to Rydel each time we want to change... Or as said above, combine them. |
The Bike Could have been the "Mach Bike"
And the Roller Skates could have been the "Acro Bike" that does all the fancy tricks. |
I always used the Acro Bike because I wasted more time bumping into things with the Mach Bike than actually going places. The only thing fun about the Mach Bike was the broken floor puzzle in the Sky Pillar.
|
Mach Bike. I always used it in SE. I guess I became good at it without me realizing as I stopped bumping into things at one point xD.
|
I may mostly use the Acro Bike, but if I am in a hurry or riding along areas like the Seaside Cycling Road, I will use the Mach Bike.

Acro Bike because its easy to control.

Mach. It gets me places faster.

They really should've implemented switching gears instead. It's much more convenient. |
Ah, well, I don't really have a personal favourite between the two really, I like them both! It does depend on each situation you're encountering though. Like the Acro Bike has a trick you can do to find pokemon in an unlimited time in the Safari Zone back on R/S/E, where you can just hop in a grass patch in one place, and you'll still be able to find pokemon! Plus, I think you should have the Acro Bike to explore more areas in the Safari Zone anyway~
Mach Bike is definitely great to boost speed, and I remember trying to beat my own time in the Cycling Road, hehe. Oh, and the Air Pillar. Mach Bike is important for that too. So all in all, I'll be more likely to switch between the two. As for the secondary question, I think they'll most likely keep the functions, but hopefully they'll have the Acro Bike have more tricks! And keep that hopping trick that still encounters pokemon, ohoho~ |

Haha, I liked the challenge that the Mach Bike brought, remembered when I first went through Sky Pillar, it was hard xD Took a LOT of tries before I made it to the top x3

Just as I was happy when I heard about the Marts once again being separated from the Pokémon Centres, I'm ecstatic about there being two separate bikes :) I like feeling when I'm changing my bikes to explore a new area that I've got a task to do, which isn't really there when all you have to do is press B to change gears.
I'll be switching between the two (especially as the Mach Bike will be easier to control now that there's the ability to move diagonally) but I'll be using the Acro Bike mainly - it may not be as fast as the Mach Bike but it's faster than walking at the end of the day and there's the added bonus of being able to bunny hop as well haha :) |

I'm hoping the Acro bike gets some new tricks though. I noticed that the official site mentions stepping stones and bridges, but all I recall are bridges...so will they possibly add stepping stones which can only be accessed by the Arco bike to Hoenn?! |
OMG. Stepping stones and broken bridges? That sounds dangerous tbh. But fun too. I kinda want them in place of the white bars you see in RSE. I mean, what are those things? It doesn't make sense why you find those things in the wild haha xD
|
I personally prefer Mach Bike. You're able to get to places much, much faster with it. It does make things easier to bump into, but as soon as you get the hang of this bicycle, you should be all fine. It's indeed a bit hard to control, but as I said, you'll get used to it! Acro isn't too bad, either; loved doing stunts and tricks with it. Only thing that kept me away was its speed; if it weren't as slow, then I would have had no problem at all. You could move just as fast with Running Shoes, so what's the point?
|
I like how the Mach Bike slides in RSE. It could be like the Hoenn's version on the Roller Skates. It's kinda scary to turn tho. But yeah, like Ashley said, It's all about control haha xD

They're also back in that form seeing how the official site shows screenshot of them. |
