>>55590940>BDSP isn't on the Gen 8 engineFor the battles it is, for the overworld it's different but the speed is the same.
>HP draining happens a lot every battleYes but this will hardly every actually be slow because it's only slow for extreme cases like a level 100 fully HP invested Blissey (and such a Blissey will die faster in gen 4 due to close combat existing anyway lmao). HP bars are only twice faster in gen 3 so it's they're not going to matter much; for there to be a two seconds difference the opponent would need to lose 120 HP which is only ever going to happen in the late game, if at all.
And battle intros are extremely common as well, especially with all the random encounters you get in caves and water areas that you just run away from, if you don't have repels. And then you have stuff like shiny hunting, where it becomes most of your playtime.
>>55590965HP bars are very fast for basically the whole game, you will only notice it for stuff like Red's Snorlax. And gen 4 is more offensive anyway so the health bar will likely only drain once while in gen 3 it will drain to red, then heal, then redrain...
