That's one thing that drives me crazy, the occasional game I see where you can't accelerate the text at all, it just dribbles out onto the screen at the pace of the slowest reader imaginable.
As a child I could never tolerate watching my friends play Pokemon for that reason. You can increase the text speed from the processional default but none of them ever did.
Link’s Awakening had painful moments like that. Every time you pick up a piece of power or acorn or compass or map. Or bump into a slime block without the boots equipped. Etc.
