    I don’t know, playing pokemen without the ability to double the speed is painful (at least for walking around).

      I never found it bad in Gen 1 and 2 because the maps were a lot smaller than even Gen 3. You move more slowly, but you still get to where you need to go fairly quickly.

      Even the battles feel fast because the animations and text tend to be quicker. Grinding sucks though. And Gen 2 has the slow HP bar glitch.

        Gen 1 games had the bicycle, but it took a while to unlock. I don’t remember running/biking mechanic in Gold/Silver which is sad because I played Silver just a few months ago.

          You get the bike after reaching Vermillion in gen 1,but you had to center the start menu any time you wanted to use it. In gen 2 you got it in Goldenrod. I don’t remember if you had to beat Whitney first or not.

          Gen 2 doesn’t have running, but it did indeed have a bike. Goldenrod City (the city with the 3rd gym badge) has a bike shop off the beaten path where the owner lends you a bike to advertise for his shop then calls you after you ride it enough to say you can keep it. The shop is on the east side of the city behind the department store.

      It is a bit, but the bike and flying and teleporting with some pokemon makes it more bearable
