    Which do you think is better, the rollerskates or the bike? Gotta go fast!

    The bike, since it's so much faster and it's easier to hatch eggs with. I liked the addition of the rollerskates though.

    The rollerskates are awesome, but they are a little hard to control sometimes, so the more I play, the more I find myself using the bike.

    The rollerskates are really useful for short distances that aren't worth getting your bike out for. But for the most part, the bike is still the better transporter.

    I liked the rollarskates a little better since I was always too lazy to pull my bike out for anything other than hatching eggs.

    Bike! If I want to move faster I'd hop on the bike since it's neither too fast nor too slow. I forget about the rollerskates 95% of the time as I hardly use the circle pad.

    For traveling short distances or instances where I'd keep switching from one mode of transportation to another (such as feet > surfing > feet), the roller skates are definitely more preferable; however, for things like breeding or long distances I'd rather use the bike.

    The Rollerskates were very difficult to get used to but after a while I enjoyed using them throughout the game series. Due to the rollerskates I've forgotten that we had the bike. I'm normally a bike fan since I liked the fact it was faster and enjoyable to use. I prefer bike over Rollerskates only because you can easily turn it off and on and it's easier to control.

    Definitely the bike it just controls so much smoother.

    Definitely the bike, I mean, we can get around much faster with it than the roller skates. It's very useful for breeding and gets the job done. Bikes go in a straight direction, while the roller skates don't always go in a straight direction.

    I like the bike better, simply because it is much faster. Gotta go fast!

    I like the rollerskates for just playing through the game, but for everything else, I prefer the bike. Speed > cool tricks when I'm trying to get things done, haha.

    I like the roller skates like like Del said the tricks x. I made this triple twirl and the FX backing it up sounded awesome xD ​

    Almost everyone else has basically said the same thing as me - I like the roller-skates, but the bike is still more convenient for going fast. There are some nice roller skating tricks, and grinding on rails is fun.

    They're both pretty fun, but I feel like the bike just goes faster so I don't use the skates much.

    I usually use the Bike because, like you said, gotta go fast! Also I breed Pokémon a lot.

    Rollerskates couldn't even go through grass, so I usually just whipped out my bike if I wanted to go fast. The rollerskates were a little hard for me to control, too, for some reason. But I did like doing tricks on them ^_^

    I would say the bike, but I rarely used it after getting used to the rollerskates. The only place I usually use the bike is in the friend safari to encounter Pokémon quicker.

    The roller skates, most definitely. I get sick of the music changing EVERY SINGLE TIME I rev up my bike. The roller skates can do more, too, so that's why I use them much more often than my distasteful bike.

    I actually constantly forgot that I had the bike even after obtaining it, oddly enough since the bike and map are always my most used Key Items in every other game. I like both methods of speed/transportation, but mainly use Fly + the skates to move from town to town while I only use the bike when I want to hatch eggs right away.
