Dae asks: Acro Vs. Mach

by

acro-or-mach-bikeI’m back! Finals finally ended, and I have three full months to recover and start to work again on some of my projects. Keep an eye out for a PJM re-reveal very soon, I haven’t dropped it and it will come back better than ever!

Today’s question is more in line with the previous question of Aqua vs. Magma and seeing as Hoenn actually got confurmed, it has all the more reason to exist. So, Acro bike or Mach bike. What was your favourite bike in RSE? And which mechanic did you like the most, cycling up slopes or jumping on rails? Did you prefer speed or would you rather perform acrobatics? Tell us about it in the comments! You can also vote in the poll to the right –>

Know that I will be patrolling the comments more, so watch your steps. I’m trying to find a good and fast way of contacting me should a problem pops up, to mitigate all the outbursts happening. I also have a new idea for an article series, which will most likely be my next article :).

Enjoy the commenting side of life!

  16. I know this is way out of context but,
    The Legend of Korra game is coming from Bayonetta dev Platinum Games!!!!!

  17. On-topic: Acro is better. Case closed.
    Off-topic: I saw final projects for my brother’school (they are games) (he had to present and he is graduating) and the first one was based on pro-bending in Legend of Korra! 😀 I was so excited! They even kept messing up and saying bender onstead of fighter :3

  20. Acro was better because riding the Mach bike was a bicycle ride through hell.
    Furthermore, despite the item finding ability the Acro bike gives you, your bag gets full, and you can’t carry the items you find. I know they were trying to make it believable but it really sux; I’m playing a video game, my backpack should be bottomless like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag.

  22. Flipping tricks or Blitzing Speed
    Tough Call
    I like the idea of there being two types of obstacles that you’ll need to use a specific bike to use but then we’ll just a bike that can do both so we won’t have to go running back to Mauville to exchange

    So i will say Mach since they’ll be used to hatch the eggs of the Pokemon that i’ll battle with

    • I didn’t try because I’m not interested in different forms. It might be tedious, but I think it’s worth it if that’s what you want.

  32. Since Pokemon officially stated M-Sableye has decreased Speed, increased Atk, and increased Def. I wonder how bulky it will be? According to the statement we had months ago, they said “no attacks can penetrate through the shield” meaning it must have one of the highest Defenses in the game.

  33. I think I prefer the Acro Bike since most say it’s capable of jumping and it’s swift. I like it fast…

  47. I’m sooooooo tired of leveling….I don’t have cash for Le Wow and i’ve slain hundreds of Audinos and Chanseys
    I swear if there aren’t a giant area filled with 50+ Audinos or Chanseys in the Hoenn Region i’ll be majorly ticked off

    Reply

    • Use the Black Writ of Challenge and Gold Write of Invitation, clock 4000 steps in your 3DS -> Unlimited use of EXP Power level 3, battle everyone in the Battle Chateau, sometime there are Kimono girls who have level 65 Audinos.

  48. I prefer the mach bike bc if I’m on a bike I’d rather b going fast than slow, but the acro bike is alright for what it’s meant for. I wish they would just make a bike that does both, but whatever lol

    Reply

  49. I haven’t played RSE so I can’t really answer this exactly, so I’ll just say, I’m looking forward to the Acro bike more than the Mach bike

  59. I hate how some one will ask “whats your favorite gym leader music”
    And I reply with “Hoenn’s”
    Then they say “Well you dont count since you love hoenn and you’re biased”
    Maybe there’s a reason I love Hoenn.
    Did they just think I was born like “Omg no matter what I have to side with hoenn.”??

    • Yeah, they shouldn’t say that. I mean, seriously.
      I like Kalos’ music. But I love Sinnoh.
      Just because someone loves a region, doesn’t mean it’s biased. We have something we like about it.

      Reply

    • You like a certain region’s gym music because you like how it sounds. Being biased has nothing to do with it. You’re just giving out your opinion that’s all.

  61. Also I like the macho bike. The acro bike was slow as dirt and I never figured it out to get the hidden area’s

  63. http://imgur.com/CHbfXNY Zoey 101 was on this morning. My TV is usually on teen nick at night because the 90’s are all that airs around 11pm CST or something around there. As usual, I fell asleep with my TV on. When I woke up, I saw this. Who wants to join the Pokemans club?

    Reply

      • Yooooouuuu? Lol I usually try to change the channel or something so that I can focus on playing wind waker but it distracts me. Tbh its a funny show. This specific episode was the one where chase, I think, his grandmother dies.

        Reply

        • I barely remember that one D:
          Seriously, the finale for that show was the earliest instance of fangirling. I was fangirling over Logan and Quinn being out in the open 😀 And Chase and Zoey reunited and in love 😀
          I was squealing. Alot.

          Reply

          • Spoilers 😮

            I have very faint memories of the show other than the few episodes I’ve seen in the past month. Did see one about Quinn and Logan xD

          • Considering that it is a few years old, screw that. Plus, I doubt anyone cares :3 If so, well sorry 😛
            They are so adorable. Through the show they fought and didn’t like each other, and then they suddenly realize they really like each other. And they are so cute. And because he used to be a ladies’ man until he fell in love with Quinn :3

  64. I kinda wish i got my Gastrodon in a more appealing Pokeball but oh well and maybe my Aerodactyl in a Ultra Ball but ya can’t….

    It says that we can use only two legendary Pokémon from the banned legendary Pokémon, Double Battle… But you can’t use Diancie, so since the tournament will be in July I think we will get Diancie very soon! Or at least Japan will with the movie, but we won’t be very far!

  71. I was thinking about the Psychic type and how OP it was in Gen I and OS.

    Anyway, I just realized something. You know how terribly powerful Sabrina was with her Kadabra? Why didn’t Misty just let Ash borrow her Starmie? It’s a Water/Psychic Pokémon.

  81. I’m guessing the Acro Bike will get more tricks in replacement of the skates.. I want the skates to return though, but ehhh

    Reply

    • I personally want skates to go away, along with the Friend Safari, higher shiny chances, and chain fishing. Basically everything that X and Y introduced other than 3D models and the Fairy-type.

      Reply

        • I don’t care what anybody thinks, chain fishing and the Friend Safari’s increased shiny chances are an insult to fans who put days of their life into hunting them in past games. My opinion will stand as such.

          Reply

          • Well, even with higher chances of shiny, I, and I’m sure many other, STILL have to STRUGGLE to get shiny Pokemon. It’s not like people get one everyday (unless you’re Heavy).

          • I would suggest trying to chain fish:
            Have a Pokemon with Sticky Hold ability in first slot. (guaranteed encounter)
            Have a pokemon with smoke ball, you can run away and it won’t break the chain.
            Keep fishing until those sparkles appear.
            Or try hordes. Just have a pokemon with Sweet Scent.
            Or run persistently in the safari.
            Or hatch eggs like I do. XD

          • I understand that great luck is still involved, but the overall and average frequency of the encounters is just too high now. It’s just not the same to me anymore…

          • Which made real shiny hunters feel proud for braving the 1/8192 chances on their own XD ah never mind, my personal feelings can’t accurately be shared over typing anyway. It’s just how I feeeeeeeeeeeel

          • Yes, feel proud about the deed that you do, and concern not for others, because your shiny is the result of your real effort. Even 1/4096 is just another way of saying 2/8192.

          • I can’t change your opinion. But I’m quite sure the people that were hunting for shiny Pokemon loved the increases and new ways to find them. It makes their life easier.

      • I highly disagree. Chain fishing is optional, you don’t have to do it, but it’s there if you want to. Friend Safari I could see that, but I want it to stay (because it encourages the exchange of FC), albeit with a huge, more safari-like expansion. I don’t mind about the disappearance of skates, but having them would be nice.

        Reply

      • But Amie and Friend Safari…. D: I want more variety in the FS though.
        Maybe the shiny stuff. Because it still didn’t work for me.

        Reply

      • The skates were a great addition imo, but it would be better if it was optional. I would hate holding down he B button until I get the bike.. Friend Safari was cool for the Hidden Abilities, Higher shiny chances were.. Well, convenient. Chain fising, not something I really care about. xD

        Reply

      • So you’re saying you don’t want PSS, Amie, Super training, trainer customization, Sitting on benches XD, walking diagonally, passing down up to 5iv’s with destiny knot, restraunts, Taxi’s,Random jobs for money, battle chatueau, Riding on Pokemon to not return ??

  83. If they would remove Horde Encounters, EV training would be a huge pain in the hind quarters.. Though, I couldn’t see why they would remove it but it is Pokemon. Inconsistent with features every damn generation -.-

    Reply

  84. You guys noticed how all the benders, depending on what type of bender you are, belong to a certain race? Water benders are like Indians, Air benders are Asians, Fire benders look European and Earth benders are…. Chinese?

    Reply

  87. So how many shinies have I ever encountered unintentionally? (MM, Radar, Chain Fish and intentional Safari use for shinies doesn’t count.)
    Gen 3: 0
    Gen 4: 0
    Gen 5: 0
    Gen 6: 6 (4 hordes, 1 egg hatch, 1 friend safari)

    I dunno… Friend Safari seems to be pretty rare enough for me. I mean… I only saw a grand total of 1 shiny going through FS a lot (and I also accidentally killed that Purple Spritzee too)

    Reply

    • I’ve also only seen 1 unintentional (unless you count shinies you aren’t hunting as unintentional while you are hunting one) FS shiny; it so happened to be my first FS encounter ever 😛
      But FS’s are strange, i got my shiny Farfetch’d and shiny Hawlucha within 20 mins, but i’ve been hunting in a Noibat safari for weeks (on and off) and i haven’t encountered a single shiny…

      Reply

      • FS is weird. I wonder where all the tipping results in more shinies urban legend came from. It sure as hell doesn’t work for me, even in FS where the urban legends say to go to after tipping.

        Anecdote: I don’t believe in my luck. Even in monster hunter, when I WANT an item, it doesn’t appear.

    • Gen 3: 2 (Graveler and Spinda…all I remember.)
      Gen 4: 1 (All I remember is a Starvaria because my game turned off right after I caught it)

  96. Trying to explain competitive battling (with my limited knowledge) to my 13 year old brother is extremely hard. He’s still in the mind set that pokemon are only as good as their attack stats. He keeps trying to tell me Shuckle is a bad pokemon. Not with defenses like those! I keep saying it’s good at what it does but he won’t listen to me 😛 I even told him that you could run an offensive Shuckle if you really wanted to. He says bug pokemon suck D: Which is kinda generally true although I still love them

    Reply

        • Well I did battle him and I actually didn’t build a team but just picked a bunch of random pokemon from my PC and gave them tms and stuff. Just for fun. I still won though xD I’m trying to build a real competitive team now though to beat him! It’s harder than it looks

          Reply

      • Well in the last battle we had my Wobbuffet finished off his team >:) It was funny! I knew he would use offensive moves so I just used counter and down he came!

        Reply

          • I’m breeding one now! I’ll show him the power of quiver dance! (He doesn’t believe in stat-boosting moves even though I constantly rave about how awesome quiver dance is)

    • Mabye stall is not his style. Perhaps he just likes running Hyper Offense.
      If it’s Singles and he uses Stealth Rock he’s kind of already set.

      If you wall his Pokemon with Shuckle, he’ll probably believe you.

      Reply

  101. Okay, maybe this is a dumb question, but why does mega banette have prankster AND such high attack? Shouldn’t it have more balanced stats with an ability like that? Or was it just so that you could run an offensive mega banette too if you wanted?

            Secret :3 Mega lucario can do both pretty well, so it is harder to tell what it is

          • That’s like my fav show of all the time. But I see that crap all the time in my city so I’m not surprised By their behavior XD also, I used to run physical mega lucario before it was ban. Swords dance adaptability close combat 2hko’s or ohko’s the meta game 3.3

          • XD
            Mega Lucario just made Smogon cry after they thought they were done at Mega Gengar and Kangaskhan XD, I always wanted to use it, but it got banned so i can only test it in Ubers, which is hard since most people here don’t use Ubers

          • Yeah it sucks in ubers like mega kanga. Most people here don’t play by smogon rules so, I’m pretty sure they would battle you.

          • True, I just hope it does work here. Nothing is worst than putting a lot of thought in a pokemon then it gets destroyed the first battle it is in >.<

          • I wouldn’t sweat it, mega lucario is a good kanga killer 😛 Although I’ve only seen one person use kanga here.

          • We’ll I only know one person here that complains about cheap Pokemon. And that person uses mega Luke XD but I don’t think it’s cheap. It’s the classic glass cannon sweeper.

          • XD trust me. Something as OP as mega like won’t get destroyed In battle. I’m kinda taken a break from Pokemon. Tbh it’s kinda boring and I get tired of talking about Pokemon all the time. It’s just a Pokemon dry spell that I went through last gen :p when ORAS come’s out I’ll be hyped.

          • ORAS will bring sooo much hype I can’t wait
            We normally get newcomers here in a game release

  116. Today was quite a crazy day.
    From playing, to resting, to reading my required books for the summer… it feels like school all over again.

    aka choose a region besides hoenn

    Reply

    • I cant help but notice that at the bottom of each page there is a table showing hoenn pokemon + new “formes” (Primals & Megas)
      Theres 6 empty spaces; however, it can be assumed that 4 of these are for Latios & Latias and Sharpedo & Camerupt. So only 2 are left :c

      Reply

      • Honestly, I would not think that the Hoenn Starter Megas, Sharpedo/Camerupt, Latios/Latias and 2 additional ones are enough.

        X/Y introduced 28 new Mega Evolutions, so for ORAS to introduce only 9 would be kinda ridiculous 😀

        Reply

  183. I don’t want my ORAS playthrough to be too easy (because I fear that it will already with XY’s engine), and my picking Mudkip doesn’t make things any better.

    So I’ve been thinking that I’ll just not use any Water Type moves until I get to the 8th Gym Leader. Is that too much or should I just use Water anyway? I really don’t want this to be Babily Easy. :'(

  191. I included the shiny Charizard because I want to test Chlorophyll Exeggcutor. c: Next battle I will use a serious team. 😮

  194. I thought PJN was going to expand from just Pokemon articles? It would’ve been so cool to get an article on Korra or something…

  219. I’m clueless as to what they will debut or show next CoroCoro. I do have two hopes though; Mega-Milotic and Mega-Seviper! (Mega-Zangoose too, you can’t have one without the other just like Gyaradose and Milotic)!

  225. Yeah, so…I meant to spend about an hour playing Super Paper Mario and come here for the Regirock hunt…but I ended up playing ten hours straight and beating the game. I have no regrets, the experience was spectacular. I was seriously about to cry at the end, in a Mario game. That’s definitely a first.

  227. What if Gamefreak added a second variation of shiny that is 10x as rare as a regular shiny. 1/81920
    I want a black and red Mudkip.

  229. I will be soft-resetting Regirock for the rest of the night, around three hours, so I should be able to get in a good 360 of them. You’ll know if I’m successful.

  236. Oh, and for any PNN staff (mostly Dicie), sorry I haven’t posted in a while, as I said, I’m on vacation and my phone doesn’t work with PNN, so ._. I should be able to post tomorrow or most likely Sunday or Monday.

  242. I just bred/trained up a defensive Swampert for my rain team, and I named it Anchor Arms. I want my mega!

    Also, I love both bikes. Always had a hard time choosing.

  243. I see that more progress has been made on PNN, and it’s about time that I write some articles. Dicie, I request to speak with you about what my duties shall be for the long-term, including my first article ideas, because I don’t want to write anything without given structure. If you don’t see this, Dicie, I’ll just ask you when I see you.

  244. I had a dream that I hatched a shiny Flabèbè but it was male so I asked you guys if it was legit and if there’s any way to change genders and you banned me from here cause you said I was lying, sad times (think I’m a tad obsessed with getting this shiny)

  254. I had a dream that Legend of Korra Season 3 was set during 1900’s and one of the antagonists was based off of Hitler… Then I see Ash bending with Korra and the creators talking about how they wanted to capture the essence of beauty in Hitler by adding in Pokemon characters… What a night!

  257. I have a music critique

    And this one was brought to my attention a few days ago

    in kirby’s RTD, the boss theme is really good, but there is one part that just kind of reks it

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZWrD-IHO6Y

    @ :27-:33 they get a really smooth sounding solo going, only to just suddenly jump the pace. I think instead of that, they should repeat the first part @ :27-30 once again and add more dramatic sounding instruments to it, such as vocals and harps. I like a more dramatic build up to the “chorus” of the theme.

  259. All right! I have seen a ton of people talking about this, so I decided to clarify it for all of you!!
    X and Y Shiny Breeding 101!!
    To breed a shiny several things have to be in place
    1. The Pokemon bred together must be of 2 different areas of the world
    (Japanese Ditto/English Porygon)(French Aegislash/German Ditto) This would cause the shiny chances to drop to a very nice 1/800~
    2. Through breeding Egg moves can be passed down as well as IVS with the use of the Destiny knot, and Natures can be passed down with the use of the Everstone!
    3. YOU CAN NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF GETTING A SHINY BY BREEDING A SHINY POKEMON! if you do this it will be a chance of 1/4096 unless they are from 2 different regions! (Only in Pokemon crystal was this the case)
    4. You are going to need a lot of patience! I suggest collecting ~3 boxes of eggs and using the Lumiose City Coin method (place a coin under the Joystick while cycling around the Lumiose City Gym)!
    5. If the Pokemon are the same species/ different IDS/ different areas of the world then you have the highest chance to produce an Egg!!

    HAPPY BREEDING!!!

  260. Did you know that the characters in SSB4 were chosen before development! So, that means that Sakurai and his team knew about the Pokemon in X/Y before it was even announced! Also Greninja, Charizard and Lucario were not chosen by Popularity!

    • He was curious about what to write about. But uou can write about anything relating to your section as long as you run it past you, correct?

      Reply

      • I saw your comment, but can’t reply now.
        I need to go to swim class.
        The short answer is, there’s no format to how you post on my website, as long as you meet the requirement for that subdivision.
        For example, if you work for Greninja Gaming, your job is to cover all main-series Pokemon game news, in whatever format you feel would express that effectively.
        As long as you do your job, post in whatever way you’d like.
        I also encourage you to be professional (good spelling, grammar, appropriate language, etc), but also have a little fun with your articles as well 😀
        Hope this helps.
        I’ll be back in a few hours so any additional questions I can answer then. 😀

        • Alright, that clears things up a little, but I have a couple follow-up questions for you later. I won’t be present for most of the day today either, but tonight I will be, so maybe tomorrow, I DUNNO. Pleasure doing business with you 😛

  262. Mach Bike – need for speed, baby! That said, I actually hope they bring the rollerblades back. I know they got a lot of hate but I actually loved them once I got used to them.

    Also without sounding like a biatch, can people please stop setting up trades in the comments sections of these articles? It’s not the place and it’s a pain in the butt to scroll past miles of friend codes and ‘will you hatch me this please?’ That’s what forums are for.

  265. So. When people complain and say that you shouldn’t let smogon tell you what to use or you should use what you want. Does that mean I can stick my team with a bunch of uber legendaries and NOBODY should complain about it? :p it works both ways…..

    Reply

    • You worded that weirdly.
      Plus I think that the tiers kinda ruined competetives. Partially. Cause people go bytiers sometimes now, Iinstead of using pokes they like to use.

      Reply

    • While Smogon isn’t bad, it shouldn’t have to be used by everyone. People don’t like being restricted to norm in Pokemon. While they shouldn’t blindly hate Smogon, as they have great tutorials, strategies, movesets, EV spreads, etc. But they do restrict you with Pokemon to win, saying gimmicky strategies are stupid, pointless, and cheap. They also tend to think all-out attacking is the only strategy to go off of. I think Regidudeam and TC would like a word about that. Pokemon is a game where anything can and will go. Luck is heavily based in it, and taking that away ruins much of the competitive spirit.

  269. Personally I’m not the biggest fan of tiers but they do serve a good purpose. However, smogon rules limit ones choices to such a degree where that there is next to no variation in team possibilities.

  272. Last week I was using Kyogre as apart of my team. I didn’t care who complained about it. Slapped on a Choice Specs and Water Spouted everything into oblivion lol. Was it cheap? That’s in the eye of the beholder/trainer. But I like Kyogre and wanted to use it. Your fault if your team wasn’t packing a poke to take it out. But I removed it.. for the time being lmao

  284. Wow. Es boring. On an unrelated noted, I have 9+ comments. What the heck? And also, someone say something interesting. Not TCMets, we all know that’s not interesting. Oh, also, when is Corocoro supposed to leak? Two weeks?
