5th Gen Running Shoes! [ #31 ]

[Ω Ruby and α Sapphire]

I dont mind when i get them. It was nice for a change, as well i was exploring around anyway so i didnt need them to much. It would be good if the button on the touch screen would come back, it was useful.

I always get annoyed at the start of each game, when you don't have the running shoes yet. It's so sloooow. So I voted for the first option.

Also it's 'should you have', not 'should have you'. ;)

I felt like it came too late, considering how I wanted to move through the story at a blistering pace.

I honestly don't even use the running shoes so I didn't really mind that it was obtained later. However, I did notice that fact and thought it was odd - maybe the creators wanted people to experience the faster movement of the character (is it me, or does the character seem to move faster in Black and White when walking?)

what are the running shoes?

I think it is rather pointless and unrealistic to not have the running shoes right away, what is the point of the short and inconvenient wait?

I used to only ever use the bike instead of running shoes (except in buildings) but now my DS's direction buttons are old and insensitive I am using the bike less and less in areas that require a lot of navigation and resorting to running and even walking a round winding corners.

I don't really mind when I get them, so long as I get them.

And I'm very disappointed that you have to hold down B again to activate them, as opposed to HGSS's method of auto-run. That system of HGSS just screamed "convenience". I'm hoping that Gray Version and/or RS3DS bring back the auto-run capability. Typically, I use the Bicycle anyway, but I'd much rather have an "increase" in the walking speed if I could receive said boost without having to mangle my fingers to execute the dreaded and inconvenient "D-Pad + B button" combination. :<

I always pay attention to this every time a new Pokémon game is released. I'm really impatient with walking in the games, but I didn't really find it that annoying in BW, it wasn't that bad, but it would be nice to get it earlier.

I agree with Hiiro as far as having to press the 'B' button, as it's a step down from HGSS, in which you could opt-in to having the running shoes always on.

Honestly, I didn't mind having to wait to get my running shoes until around before the second town. I though the timing was good, since, it's a new Generation of Pokémon, I like to take my time and take a look around without the running shoes; it gives it a more of a feeling of a new adventure.

I agree with everyone on the feature in HG/SS that allowed to have running shoes implemented automatically, without having to press the button 'B'. It was sure nice. It would be nice to see it back in the next game along with your Pokémon walking behind you feature.
