>>33700724>But when it comes down to it the huge difference between them is the fact that battles in Gen 5 are in a constant 60fps while Gen 4 was locked to 30 in all areasThat's only visual though, the actual duration of in-battle actions is unaffected.
You're right on text speed, but I don't get any odd pauses in my game that I can think of.
The thing with how I approach this is that I only really care about feedback, so clicking on menus and getting a response, which in battle feels very fast and snappy to me in HGSS.
In HGSS I can spam the stylus on an area of the screen and it'll immediately launch that attack, while in BW and SM I have to wait for the animation to finish for it to register the second stylus press.
So maybe the overall average duration of each battle is a bit larger in HGSS due to intro/endings taking longer and the text speed, but as far as inputting commands go I find it to be one of the most responsive games.
