Do you think D/P feels considerably slower?

I've been playing Pokemon Diamond for some time, and when I went back to LG, battles and text seemed so much faster.

Practically every animation takes longer, including Pokemon animations, move animations, HM animations, surf, etc

Does anyone agree that the D/P versions feel much more slow-paced?

Yeah, everything has been slowed down a notch, even if everything's on the fastest speed possible with no battle animations and fastest text, the gameplay still feels slow.

The only thing that's seemed "faster" is the ability to run inside with the Running Shoes.

I feel the opposite. Am I wrong? When I play the GBA, the wild Pokémon move very slowly from the left to the right side of the screen (before it says "Wild ~ appeared!") and the bike seems slower, too. You can't run inside buildings. I don't feel the rest of the animations faster, though.

Sorry but I think I'm gonna have to disagree. Try going to options and selecting fast text speed or hold down A with good timing when reading. =P

can't they make ONE GAME with the RIGHT speed?

FR/LG/R/S/E is a little TOO fast (even for me)
D/P is SLOOOWWW...

And if you are going to tell me to look at Surf or do a battle, well it's just you then not me.
I don't really think my brain would magically become overclocked (if it even is possible) after starting up LeafGreen right after Diamond.

I would perfectly agree with you. If you play D/P for a day or two, then play the 3rd Gen games, you'll notice the difference in speed.

Yeah, it's slow, but you have pretty animations to look at while you wait. :p

I think the animation's slowness can me made up for by using your thumbs on the touch screen to control the battle. It seems to speed things up a lot.

I'll be gone July 19-25 at camp.

Yea, the battles themselves are much slower for sure, but I actually prefer it that way. I went back to playing Ruby for a while and I felt like I blasted through the Magma base at hyper speed.

Also, I do like the ability to run indoors, which helps offset the battle speed. I dunno, it felt much more relaxed and laid back to me, the way a game should feel. I didn't feel as though it was holding me back at all. It's the right speed, imo.

@Shiny Umbreon: compare the surf speed, and also compare the average animation length of an attack. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Oh, yeah, you're totally right here. Surf fails in D/P. Battle animations, maybe, but I'd really need to compare.
