Shift or Set?

[Sir Quaffler]

Which mode do you play Pokemon games in: shift or set?

For those of you unaware, here's the gist: Shift mode lets you switch out Pokemon when a trainer is about to throw out a new one, whereas Set has yours stay put while the trainer throws out a new one.

As for me, I've always played in Shift mode until recently. I didn't think about it beforehand, but Shift mode kinda gives the player an unfair advantage. So I'm going to switch over to Set from now on to make things more interesting.

I play Set ya dig, as you said in your OP it's because the player gets an unfair advantage that way. Besides, from what I see in the anime the characters also play "set" in most battles.

I always play shift, because I have a near perfectly well-balanced team, so I like to switch to a super effective Pokemon, instead of a not very effective (or not effective at all) Pokemon.

Shift. Unless I'm grinding to evolve something. In that case it's fast text, battle animations off, and set.

I typically prefer to play shift, and rarely will I ever play set. It's just a personal preference when playing.

Shift...nuff said

Definitely Shift.

Yeah, I always play shift, but in the future, I'll probably set the option to "set" to have a little harder experience. ^^

 

[Moonstone]

I always play set.

 

[Riddle]

Always set. For the challenge, because It's how it should be and because I got annoyed that the ask it after every Pokémon I killed, It speeds the battles a lot up.

I have it set to shift (I don't really play around with settings). I usually decide not to switch anyways. But I think I'll try set. It does add a fun challenge. Yet I doubt I would keep it on set for Gym leaders. I would probably change it to shift for them. Yet a lot of the trainers are easy so I think I can do set for them to give myself a challenge.
