-   -   5th Gen What new transport will there be ? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=219394)

Most likely train (because from that screen shot with the train tracks,) and transportation by boat. Those are the only two new methods I see happening so far.

Um, no, Boats and trains are not new.

I guess we haven't seen cars, trucks, moter cycles and the likes in previous games. Though I can't imagine B&W will have a huge implementation of new transport. We've seen some of the vehicles though I'd see them as more of a background in the game rather than playing a major role in the gameplay. I imagine that they will be mentioned though and possibly there will be a small interaction with the new methods of transport.

It'd be a cool feature to see if they could include some mini-games or something of the like involving the new vehicles. I can't imagine that they will give you the opportunity to go to another region though.

If Isshu is going to be a large, vast area then I assume that the new methods of transport will actually have more of a role within the game otherwise, I can't see them bearing a great hold on the gameplay.

But honestly, I think Surf might be replaced with a small boat.

That gave me an idea, with some limits ofcourse, but what if you where able to ride your pokemon, in the way nature intended >.> like say you had your tsutajaa, and ytou would be able to slither through the grass and and your staraptor and you would be able to fly ect...

If it's gonna be the way nature intended then it would be impossible to ride on a Staraptor cause you'd crush it :P. It should be more logical, only allow pokemon of a certain size to use moves like watefall, fly, and surf.

I hate the thought of using a skateboard, it just doesn't make much since to me. You can't navigate them as well as you can a bike or say a moped and they'd be a hassle at times if it was impossible to ride them in certain areas. Moped, bike, or maybe just walking but using trains, boats, etc to get to far places that we need to go to.

Hi! Seeing as the topic has moved back here again, this is what I posted on the first page:

It's true that the larger sprites would be easier to adapt, but a slightly-enlarged version of a sprite combined with some form of the bike-riding player sprite could easier produce a suitable Pokémon riding sprite, no? And of course, as with any learnable move (should a move be used to access such a technique) only certain Pokémon would be able to learn it, thus GameFreak can pick and choose which Pokémon are ridable as suitable forms of transport; I would say anything large enough and quadrepedal would fit the requirements, as would larger Pokémon such as Doduo or Dodrio, thinking along the lines of the Capture Contest sections of Pokémon Ranger and with Yellow from PokéSpe in mind. I would also class all third-stage Starter evolutions in there, just because they would probably be large enough and the emotional attachment would probably make players favour these Pokémon as their preferred mode of transport.

On the subject of an item, such as a saddle, granting this function accessible, size would again be the main requirement. Only Pokémon that the saddle would fit upon (i.e. not too small) would be able to wear the saddle and thus be rideable. There is also the consideration of Pokémon that are especially large, but the game physics would most likely gloss over the fact that there are no saddle straps in the world that could extend around the belly of a Wailord but still tighten around a Ponyta, so this is not as large an issue. It is just the thought of a Totodile wearing a saddle that is bigger than it that makes me stress the fact that size would be a consideration - I still resent the fact that a Pidgey can carry a person across a region without difficulty, or that a Goldeen can ferry someone across an ocean without a hitch, but as I said, game physics certainly aren't always the most logical and as such, the programmers probably would not see a problem.

This method would deal with problems such as the size of Pokémon, but let's be honest, physics isn't exactly fully implemented within Pokémon games. :3

JAK3 May 24th, 2010 11:49 AM

My guess is we will most likely see Trains and Cars, maybe even a Plane! That would be exciting!

Azzurra May 24th, 2010 10:50 PM

If some sort of transport would be added, I'd be very excited. The transport in Pokemon thus far has been pretty bland.

Volroc May 24th, 2010 10:54 PM

an actual submarine would be nice :3

Azzurra May 24th, 2010 10:55 PM

And it may be necessary in some aspects of the game. They could reintroduce diving without a submarine though, but it's still an interesting idea.

jbs829 May 25th, 2010 9:32 AM

well the characters are older than they have ever been, so a car at some point isnt entirely unlikely, but i doubt you can use it everywhere

you know that would be cool, especially if hiun city had a distortin world type thing going on beneath the surface. Like an underwater portion of the city that was upside down and required a sub to get to. Me and my imaginations :D.

cystar May 25th, 2010 6:41 PM

A vespa Lx lol im doing an ad project on this right now

Dragonika May 27th, 2010 12:03 PM

well what if they ankered in the ss anne from under the sea near dewford town and started to rebuild it in hiun city harbour how cool would that be huh ? :D

Zizi May 27th, 2010 2:08 PM

I heard there might be cars O.o would certainly be interesting..

Wurmple May 27th, 2010 6:13 PM

its definitely the car... thats why the characters are older now, it was all so people wouldnt question why there were kids driving cars. i mean why else would they make them adults? are they bringing alcohol into the game?

Besides that, maybe an airport will be in place, but just for adventuring through, if anything else. I doubt it would be to take us from one place to the next, especially in another region as I'd like for this game to focus solely on one region alone - being the Isshu Region.


If there is an airport, what would be the use of Fly?

Dragonika May 30th, 2010 11:16 AM

I really hope theres planes it would be so awsome <3

WiFi123 May 30th, 2010 11:22 AM

Sorry,but in Pokemon:Black/White dosen't have planes.

Dragonika May 30th, 2010 11:27 AM

And how do you no that ??

euhhhh, what makes you say that, as i said in the legendary thread, the legendarys show proof that their will be planes, look at reshiram's wings, they are positioned as plane things and look at zekroms tail, its a turbine!

Benjamin510 May 30th, 2010 8:31 PM

Bring back the skate board, lets face it. It was canceled in GSC right? They did show it in Spé though, And combined bike and skate boards, To make the first scooters!

Well, i recently read a thread that had an opinion about the trucks in every reigon near that particular reigons ship,(SS Anne etc) there was a truck somwhere nearby, possibly stating that this truck had a connection between all reigons of pokemon. Some say it could be a truck that lets you do certain things, or maybe its just there for decoration. But none the less, everybody on The Pokecommunity is curious about starnge trucks.

I'm positive that there is going to be mainly trains as always, but there could be planes, Flying on pokemon even. But as far as i know, i think it's gonna be trains.

Neurotripsy May 31st, 2010 9:38 AM

Planes would be awesome... Not sure how I'd feel if it turned out to be cars, seems a bit dull & it's not like the characters are even old enough to drive. o_O
