At first, going back to no Running Shoes threw me off a little bit, but I quickly got used, and the game simply became a calmer experience. Just loafing around, enjoying the whole OST without even using the bike, but just being immersed.
To me, this even suited the pace the levels slowly scale. I was add back to my team a :L16 Spearow I had boxed midgame, and had no problems leveling it up :)
