I think most ppl would agree, the option to speed up battles would definitely be nice. Compared to many other games, they are faster pace. I don't think anyone enjoys sweet scenting hundreds of times for days or weeks for shiny hunting, and waiting for long battle introductions. However, i'm guessing that would impact the amount of encounters ppl can catch breeders and shinies for example. which would over flood the market and change the economy values, which I would be ok with.. Like they could make the eggs hatch way quicker, but it's purposely meant to take time. I feel like it was a bit of a step backwards to take away the run away ability to save us a second or two. Should battles be faster, yes i agree, it would make it more enjoyable and easier to grind. Will it happen? probably not.
