3rd Gen RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL... [November 2016]

[Brendino]

Welcome to Third Generation's featured thread- the Poll of the Month! Seeing as this board's a bit slower than most on PokéCommunity, we'll be doing monthly polls rather than weekly ones, but the premise will be the same- pick any of the options from the poll above, and feel free to post about your choices. Also, if any of you have a question that you would like to see featured as the PotM, feel free to send me a VM with your idea(s), or leave it with your post in this thread. If your topic gets picked, you may even earn a special reward!

Now with all that said, this month's poll question is:

"Do you prefer the tricky Acro Bike, or the speedy Mach Bike?"

While we'd grown accustomed to two-wheeled transportation in Pokemon games, Ruby and Sapphire introduced not one, but two different bicycles to choose from, both with specialty features. Pressing B while riding the Acro Bike lets you perform tricks like bunny hops and wheelies, while the Mach Bike lets you speed between cities almost as fast as flying! The real question though is, which of these two bikes do you prefer? Let the voting begin!
​

 

[Gandhi Savage]

I love, love, love the Acro Bike so damn much! The aspect of being able to wheelie and bunny hop was so cool. I used to spam the hell out of it as a kid hahaha.​

Mach Bike has always been my favourite of these two. I do like the fact that you can do hops and wheelies on the Acro, but speed tops stunts for me.

 

[tokyodrift]

I've always used the Mach Bike. The speed made me get places faster, despite me running into various walls. I only picked up the Acro Bike when I wanted to get those hidden items!

 

[Hikamaru]

I voted Acro Bike because I like doing tricks and it's easier to control.

 

[Itcheeee]

I'm so used to switching them all the time, but I normally stick with the Mach bike longer for the speed alone.

 

[Sektor]

Speed. Gotta get more Speed! I only really cared for the Mach bike. The Acro Bike was necessary, but I hated having to go and switch between the two of them.

 

[JasperXERO]

Honestly, that man who says "RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL RYDEL" is funny xD

I prefer Mach Bike but Acro Bike is useful too...

 

[Palmer-Granate]

One word: Heracross. It was always one of my favourite (and the only) Bug/Fighting Pokemon in the world. The hopping around was always a bonus.

 

[Lunar]

I loved the Acro bike for the tricks :3
It got my vote over the Mach because of that.

 

[Flowerchild]

Always preferred the Mach Bike. Stunts are fun, but they won't beat speed imo

[AleXShi1]

Mach bike always was my favorite, going from point A to B aint my favorite thing in games so the faster the better

 

[d]

Mach bike. As others have said, speed > stunts.

 

[Ky0greK1ng]

I voted for the Mach Bike!

Honestly, I don't think I would've been able to complete the game if it weren't for the Mach Bike... I find it somewhat boring to slowly travel the world, so the faster bike was the perfect remedy for that! Also, I find I never use the Acro Bike ever; even when I'm in the Safari Zone, I'd much rather speed around it than access to more hidden areas.

Yea, running was ok, but Mach Bike was just so much quicker and better haha. Acro Bike felt like a useless middle ground in speed for me c: I seldom even explored those areas you could only visit with Acro.

 

[Mystelex]

Acro Bike, because it was only exclusive to Hoenn.

 

[mikey]

I used the Mach Bike most. Loved having that speed to move around quicker. So I'll go with that.

The Acro Bike was really cool too though.

 

[BlazingCobaltX]

Mach Bike because I love speed. I only used Acro when I needed to.

 

[LegendChu]

I wish there was an option for both, coz I usually switched between the two, but just for pure speed, I'd say Mach Bike.

Pika Pika :chu:
