Damn Daniel! Back at it again-

Now then, running shoes... 👟
A topic that has been brought up many times before, and has had mixed reviews from the community each time.
So, let's go about it with an open mind.😊

Sure, walking is already 1.5x the speed from the original, but still.
The main point is that some of us want to be able to run with our pokémon, not being limited to just walking, or being stuck on a mount.



[Idea]: Rather than running shoes being a Key Item as in the traditional sense; these could perhaps be implemented as a mount, that's obtained via quest or the coin shop.
(This way current mounts aren't being devalued, and it simply becomes a choice to use it.)

The developers would somehow have to make it so that our pokémon are visible while equipped.

Curious to see what the community thinks and whether staff think it's a possibility. Maybe we can get something rolling here...

walking is still slower than mounts regardless of the 1.5x

That's the entire point of a mount?

only mmo in the world where you cant run, kind of archaic

The point is being able to run as fast as mounts with our pokemon trailing behind us, not just it being limited to walking.

Which is an horrible idea. Mounts would have 0 value then.

Fair, I see what you mean with it potentially devaluing mounts.

To combat this; running shoes could be implemented as a mount that is obtained either via quest or the coin shop.
(This way it simply becomes another choice among all the other mounts.)
