3rd Gen Mach Bike or Acro???

[~Rene~]

I liked Acro Bike better.

 

[gerudodragon1]

judge each bike by the tasks it accomplishes and think about it.

rayquaza or a full heal? mach bike any day.

I'd have to agree with Toothache and gerudodragon1.
The Mach Bike is needed for one of the most important things in the game, getting Rayquaza from the very top of the Sky Pillar.
I honestly think the makers of the game expect you to like the Acro bike because it is more controlled. But then, you need the Mach Bike for the Sky Pillar, and you don't know how to controll it.
The Mach Bike is liked by those who have mastered its speed and turning.
Toothache has a good point, if you leave pets at the daycare for breeding often, the Mach Bike seems to make the paces needed pass much quicker (That goes for hatching eggs too.).
Also, the Mach Bike is needed to get up the muddy slopes above Mauville City and some near Foretree.​

Well, the only way you can race against time in bike train (if thats what its called. havnt played it in a while, so forget what its called.) Someone told me that if you never crash and beet it in less that 30 seconds, the person gives you an item. Is that true?

 

[Ultimate_Evil]

mach bike for me, i like it because i like to move fast

 

[[Fear_Itself]]

To JakeEMan: Yes, I'm sure that is correct.
But, mastering the Mach Bike, not running into people, and traveling the winding bike road of Mauville is very hard to do.
I haven't done it myself, but I've seen guidelines from people who have.
As for the item you're given, I'm not necessarily sure.​

 

[ArKiVe]

Yeah I like speed a lot, makes things easier to do for me if I ever need to. Mach.

 

[[Fear_Itself]]

If I would have to pick a favorite, I would have to say Acro.
It's controlled, and you can do a wheelie on it.
If that isn't cool enough, I don't know what is. xD
Besides, Mach Bikes are too fast for my taste.
I only use it when I need it.
The convenient thing is, when you want a certain number of steps to hatch an egg just received from the Daycare Center, Mauville is right nextdoor, so switching is easy.​

I prefer the Acro Bike, since it is easier to control. Yeah it's slower, but I like control better than speed usually.

 

[Demonta]

Mach bike for me, i found it horendously hard to control at first but now i am confident with riding it, plus it is good for breeding.

also i managed to get through the biker's bridge (the one near the rydel shop) in 9.31 seconds with NO BUMPING!

 

[Bekki]

I prefer both depending on the situation I am at the time.

 

[Ichida]

Mach Bike. I only used Acro Bike to get the Safari Zone species only accessible by Acro Bike.

 

[Flamman]

i prefer mach bike for the following reasons:

-breeding(faster breeding+exp)
-rayquaza
-racing on cycling road(9.16/0 collisions, you gt no item btw)
-the items you can get by riding it

 

[Demonta]

items? what items for riding it?
