3rd Gen Cycling Road

Hoenn's cycling road, known as the Seashore Cycling Road, was unique due to a biker by the end of the route recording your time and number of collisions. Were you able to go through and get a perfect score? (aka no minus points) Did you take all this seriously? Or was it nothing more than a shortcut to and from Slateport/Mauville? Discuss!

Personally, I really enjoyed this little task in the games, although I was really horrible at it. xD; I'd love to see this make a return in ORAS, can't wait to see how it'll turn out.

I was able to get a perfect score once! I think after that I never really payed attention to the Cycling Road because if I ever needed to get to/from Slateport to/from Mauville I would just fly there. :) Much quicker than a Mach Bike!

I'm glad that they've put this road there; it's given us a very easy way to get from Slateport to Mauville without have to encounter all that wild Pokémon… that is, if you didn't have any repel, haha. I did try getting the perfect score, but unfortunately, I was never able to. :( Every time I did, I would always collide at least once.

From all the time I spent with Pokemon in the day care, and because the Cycling Road was conveniently located right by it, I spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to get the fastest time possible on my Mach Bike. After a lot of practice, I eventually memorized the route through muscle memory, and can pretty much get a perfect time now, even if I haven't played the game for a few months.

To be honest, I never picked up on going through the Cycling Road fast, haha. Only recently found out that was a thing, and had to try it out for myself. Not the best at it, but overall, it's a simple way to get from place to place while involving the new bike feature that Hoenn introduced. Have yet to achieve a perfect score, but due to how terrible I am at it, I don't think that will change anytime soon! n__n;

I trained so hard to get a perfect score and was really disappointed that after ALL that, you get nothing. At least it prepares you for the Sky Pillar which I guess you could consider a reward, but...a PP Up would have been nice, at least...
