  • I find this feature pretty convenient. Back then when I had to press the B button all the time I got addicted to it and never let it go, even during bike riding and battling o_O

  • Funny thing actually, I had it turned on from the beginning, but starting from Olivine or so, I found myself pressing the B button anyway...

    I turned it off because I felt empty inside. XD

  • I love this feature! It's pretty useful, I want it in Black/White too. ;___;

    And to be honest: I can't see the difference between bicycle and running shoes in HG/SS.(about the speed) o.o~

    I found myself switching between using the button and holding down 'b'. It was a conflict of old vs. new. Eventually I stuck with the button, though. Which made B/W difficult.

    I really loved this, it was a nice little tweak and you didn't have to keep hold of B whilst running, which you still could anyway, so yeah. I still the use the bike anyway. xD

    It is a nice feature. You get a bit used to it but it isn't game changing.
    But I don't like that the encounter rate is higher in SS/HG when you run. Thats a bit annoying.
    Normally I use it allways since it is more convient except when I don't want to get attacked by wild Pokes (and trainers in the future). So I just turn it off to get through that part and turn it back on again.

  • I love it. But, It took me like a week to get used to it. Can't wait until I have to hold it again, made my thumb stronger. But, It helped me a lot, because I'm left handed. :)

    I'll say, its awesome, but once I got the bike, I used the bike more then running shoes.

  • Pressing B was never an issue for me, tbh. Also I prefer to walk in some spaces, like small rooms.

    I use it with the dowsing machine since one can't easily operate the touch-screen and buttons simultaneously, but otherwise don't care for it unless I'm running a long way.

    It's epic.
    I actually didn't really use until after the E4, and I didn't realize how awesome it was until I got White.
