Biking Simulator 2014
In the post game, people often hatch eggs for getting certain moves, IVs, or just to get a shiny Pokemon, which we all know is basically riding a bike in circles for hours in the Battle Resort. As tedious as it is, do you enjoy or not mind doing it? Or does it bother you?
I personally don't mind as long as I'm watching a movie/tv show or listening to a music album in the background. |
I don't mind doing it, especially since there is a certain part that you can just hold up and it goes around with no interruptions. However there are sand pits, so you slow down a bit, but at least you don't have to press anything else.
I just tape down the Up D-Pad button and do something, most of the time I just make a snack and watch either Markiplier or GMM. :) |
lol biking simulator
It's not as bad as in previous games since we have the infinite bike loop in the Battle Resort. Just hold up for a while and yer good. Breeding is still pretty boring though. But I do so much of it anyway..... |
sometimes I just go round in a circle lol, Its best in the battle resort where you can change the music.
|
I know I'm not a competitive player who constantly hatches eggs, but that infinite loop in the Battle Resort doesn't really feel "infinite" because of a good chance you'd bump into a tree or having to constantly avoid obstacles.
I find it more inconvenient than the circle around Lumiose City's Prism Tower in X/Y. |
I find biking in Pokemon on its own to be completely boring since I've done it for a very long time already. I seem to not mind it if I'm watching TV or doing other things that require attention but not too much input from both of my hands.
I also find the Pokemon cries (in ORAS) to be very annoying after hours of biking around the battle resort, so I tend to just mute the game. Quote:

I found out about the trick from resources, and it's an alright procedure. But I haven't done too much breeding in ORAS at all anyway, although I usually have attention of something else while i'm going about it.

I do appreciate that they put this in, but I cannot understand why they put the sand pits there. It doesn't break the loop, but it does extend the time taken, and otherwise add nothing. It doesn't even make much sense; you'd think people tending the resort would want to remove piles of sand people get stuck in? It just makes me think 'why?'. But really, I feel they could do better, and have done. It can be tedious to go about in circles to hatch a Pokemon, and it does add up when you want to make a team or few. Why not bring back aspects like Join Avenue in B2W2, which when levelled up an egg shop would instantly hatch a number of Pokemon for a small price each day? Or let NPCs be hireable to just do the biking about for you. Let people hatch Pokemon by themselves as well, but it certainly could be made easier. |

Good topic title! I recently started breeding for competitive battling mainly cause I want to battle and losing isn't fun. The loop, the O-powers and Flame Body all reduce hatching time but it still takes too long. For me, it would be enough if the faster hatching times of Flame Body and Magma Armour could stack to make the number of needed steps like a quater of what it usualy is. On a plus, they atleast brought back the option to make the L button work like the A button, meaning you only need 1 hand to hatch eggs.

As much as I enjoyed riding a loop on a bike to hatch the egg in the Battle Resort, I find it a bit troublesome because the loop can be interrupted when I bump into people or walls when I'm looking away a bit. But I enjoyed it regardless, thanks to the Hatching Power that I've maxed to Lv. 3.

It is pretty boring. They need an egg incubating key item to hatch eggs for you
|
I don't mind it, though I miss the method we had in X and Y.
...Also, I don't do my breeding projects and biking simulator in the Battle Resort, but rather in the Route west of Mauville. Other than the fact that I HATE the quicksand-like sands in the Battle Resort, I like the music of the route and Verdanturf Town than in the Battle Resort. :3 |
As someone who did a lot of egg hatching back in Pearl/Diamond, I really appreciate the infinite egg loop. It makes the whole breeding process a bit less tedious. I love that you can use the continuous route and do something else to pass the time then.
|
The infinite loop is really handy in my opinion. But you do indeed need something else to keep you busy.
The X/Y one was more handy though, I just put a card under my circle pad so I'd go right on my own and wouldn't even have to hold a button. The battle resort one is pretty hard to do with the circle pad. |
All about that flame body, flame body, flame body, no waiting

That is a welcome addition for myself. Hatching eggs has never been so dramatic when you throw in Wally's 90s rock-guitar theme. :V |

I almost forgot that you could change the Battle Resort music lol. I always listen to other stuff when breeding.
|
is 5 - 10 minutes to hatch 5 eggs at a time REALLY that big of a deal to people? I see so many posts talking about how long it takes to hatch eggs, but with infinite loops in both games and locking the control stick in a specific direction it's 5 - 10 minutes (depending on which pokemon) of auto hatching, what more do people really want? I'm personally thankful that the egg hatching is so fast now
|
The only "problems" I have are those damn sandpits and that stupid fear of my 3DS breaking because of constantly holding Up on my D-Pad {XD}
|
Yes, I'll just get straight to the point, I do mind biking to hatch eggs. I can see why Nintendo made it this way to hatch eggs, because honestly there couldn't really be a better way to do so.. But overall yes, I hate hatching eggs -_-

And then consider people who have been hatching eggs across multiple games, even generations of games. No wonder it can feel repetitive. =p Truthfully I only do it while watching tv or something as a distraction. But it would be nice if they did something ala Join Avenue again. Infinite loops are nice, but really... it could be better. |
Ya I dont mind hatching eggs, but Im one of thos people with a lot of patience so its really no big deal. Plus using a bike and a pokemon with flame body makes hatching pretty quick most of the time.
