Ride till the sunset! [Riding Pokemon Speculation Thread]
In XY, there was a feature that allows you to ride specific Pokemon in specific routes. You could ride a Skiddo in Route 12, Mamoswine in Route 17, Rhyhorn in Route 9 and Vaniville, and even Lapras while surfing.
Do you think this feature will return in ORAS? Will there be more surfable Pokemon, like Wailmer or Gyarados, introduced like Lapras? Will there be a route that forbids you to cross, without riding a Pokemon? Discuss! |
I would like to have more Riding and be used more often than it was in XY.
|
I hated those places that prevented swimming in XY. I wanted to Swim in Laverre's pond, as well the river around the castle :(
Anyways I am not sure if it'll return. It seems like a Kalos only thing tbh. |
Do you think this feature will return in ORAS?
Not particularly. Will there be more surfable Pokemon, like Wailmer or Gyarados, introduced like Lapras? Doubtful. Will there be a route that forbids you to cross, without riding a Pokemon? Seeing as it wasn't in the originals, I doubt they would carry over this sort of gimmick. I could be wrong, though. |
I hope that they'll have a surfing sprite similar to Lapras for a Hoenn native such as Milotic, Wailmer, Relicanth, or even Pelipper :P
|
I hope they take what they did with X/Y and build on it to improve the quality of the game. i.e. using the formula of riding pokemon and creating a TM that would allow you to ride x pokemons on the overworld at anytime and anywhere outside.
With 3D models and what X/Y showed us, I believe that if done right placing bone structures into the models (I'm sorry if I'm wrong but this is how we mod on Gmod, the bones are basically the lines and joints that allow parts to move) would allow the riding motion to be done for all ridable pokemon. TL;DR: make all pokemonm you'd assume are rideable, rideable at any time anywhere. Make this game amazing |
It probably won't be returning, but I'd definitely like it if it did. To me, it seems as if they're attempting to make ride-able Pokémon more established, as it makes games resemble anime better. Though, there's still a lot that they need to work on in terms of this feature, which might take another generation or two to fully get done.
Surfing Pokémon has a huge possibility of happening, because, well, this is what you do when you surf--you're actually on your Pokémon, they're carrying you. Seeing over-worlds of them alongside definitely wouldn't hurt, if you ask me. |
It would be better to keep the addition exclusive for X/Y. Yeah, there'll definitely be people who will disagree with this but I feel they shouldn't add everything that X/Y has and dump it into OR/AS. If they did that, there wouldn't be any "specialness" to X/Y besides the story. I can see them both having different features, although they could have something different like Pokémon Riding minigames? ^_^
|
Not that XY had interesting story to begin with either :P
But yeah, they should keep some stuff exclusive to the Kalos games. I hope that they expand on the feature in 'Z' or a future generation (but then it won't be exclusive to Kalos...unless they're XY remakes...). |
I don't think anyone would complain if you were able to ride a Tropius around Fortree, but I doubt they're going to implement this feature. It would be cool, but seems like they wanted it to remain in Kalos only, with the creation of Gogoat, and the overall terrain of Kalos having areas that needed a Pokemon ride to get through.
|
I loved riding Pokemon in XY, even though you didn't get to do it much ;; However, I'm ambivalent about it being in ORAS. On one hand, it'd be cool to have it return, and maybe have it appear more often. On the flip side, I agree with those who think it should be exclusive to XY, plus I'm having a hard time figuring out where you might be able to ride Pokemon XD Even if it were just something like riding Gogoats, none of the cities are big/circular enough for it to work. Still, I'd love to be able to ride a Tropius, hnnngh.

I just wanted them to let our Pokemon follow us around everywhere! One of the many reasons HG/SS is one of my favourite Pokemon games....That and the ridiculous amounts of content in it!

I didn't care much for riding in Y tbh. |

Personally, I'd love it, considering how well such a Pokémon suits this place. |

I don't know where they would include the riding feature, so I doubt that they will include it. Riding also wasn't in the original games, and I can't really imagine why they would add it in now because it would just be "for the sake of it." It seems to just be a Kalos thing. I don't really mind, though, and might actually prefer it if we don't get the riding feature because riding on a Rhyhorn was pretty slow!

Maybe in the very tall grass for people like Hikamaru who don't like it when their character is buried in grass ;) |
Rideble Pokemon were AWESOME,
I strongly wish this comes back in ORAS, there are potential places for it like the Desert. I think Lapras could stay as a sprite for Surfing like in XY and it would be pretty awesome to have a Wailmer (more detailed) to surf on, or some other Pokemon. There could be non surfable places like in the Battle Frontier if introduced. |
I hope there's none. Also it'll be kind of a waste to add them and not allow surfing on them :/ .
|
I really do hope they would show Surfing Pokemon instead if the Riding feature won't return.
Maybe they could even add Diving Pokemon too? |
How plausible are individual sprites for surfing and flying, though? Think of how many Pokemon they would have to add, and how much time they would have to spend on this as opposed to adding any other feature. I don't really care that much if they include this feature or not. What I'd really want is a flying-over feature like we had in Ranger Guardian Signs 8)
|
Well, they did try to add every Pokemon as a follow Pokemon in HGSS. I'm pretty sure they can pull it off again, since it only applies to surfable and divable Pokemon.
|
Yea it does sound great, but they shouldn't limit players to what pokemon they will be able to ride or not
|
I could see the Pikachu with a Surf Board coming back. It would be great to have the Flying Pikachu to have a different sprite when using Fly and have balloons. The Flying Pikachu was an event in gen 3.
