Quickies: Hurrying It Up

Sometimes one just needs to get through things in a faster amount of time - that is, hurrying them through. A few of the means (as provided through items) for making this effort happen in Pokémon games are the Bicycle in the main series games (movement), the Super Incubator in Pokémon Go, and most recently the various hourglasses of TCGP. These means are certainly optional in their use if one doesn't need to hurry up, but when hurrying up is demanded, they then become absolutely essential in that regard.

Yet even with the means or items for hurrying up, at least some effort is still by and large needed. One still needs to move even with the use of a Bicycle and Super Incubator (also furthermore when Eggs are of concern) as above, and then there's the effort to earn - or rather, specifically purchase - the hourglasses of concern. The hurry-up effect may only be evident in the way that these means "fold time" (in a way) to achieve that effect specifically, and it may not necessarily speak of the still-needed effort.

"Folding time", indeed, may be the name of the game, as hurrying up certain things can then allow other things to be hurried up, for example achievements that are attained after hatching Eggs. It's a useful thing for many players in many circumstances and - I have to admit - even myself, even though it's not a complete necessity for me personally. It's when things go beyond necessary that I'd have to really make use of the hurry-up means... which might even have some relevance to the actual writing of this post (being a "Quickie" after all).

For now, though, I may really have to contemplate the hurrying up of some Pokémon and other things..
