I wonder if Fletchling will have a high total BST? It has the description "Fletchling is also known to be ferocious in battle, capable of unleashing relentless attacks!" Which makes me wonder if it will be exceptionally stronger with a higher Stat total than the generic regional bird.
 
Here's a thought! Maybe riding is an HM called "Ride" that can be taught to certain pokemon such as Gogoat. That way you can only ride certain pokemon, as it would look weird riding a rattata or gastly. Plus, I can see riding being something that is essential at some points in the game like cutting and rock smashing.

Well, if they've already made 3D models of all the Pokemon for the battles then I can imagine it might be pretty easy for them to adapt riding to several others provided the riding feature doesn't require lots of complex movements. Maybe not a whole lot would be made, like just the kind where you'd ride it like a horse since they wouldn't have to program the character to do anything different. Just swap one Pokemon for another. You'd obviously ride different shaped Pokemon differently and that would require more work and probably more space for the data, though I don't know how much space is an issue for these games.
 
Either that or it's just an area-specific thing. It could be possible that the city we are seen riding Gogoat just has it as a means of transportation, and that's how you get around the city while you are visiting. Of course, if it was just a key item I wouldn't mind that either, since it's better than an HM wasting a slot on something like riding a Pokémon (and I can't even think of what kind of in-battle effects that could have).
 
A key item would make sense, or maybe Gogoat is a traditional way to get around in the Kalos region, so this new feature would be restricted to him? Also, I'm loving all these new game screenshots ^^
 
I'm hoping for a new HM. New move to play with and easier to find since I just have to go into the Pokemon list and select that Pokemon. Besides that it means a new list of HMs and I wanna see what they updated that way~
 
Well if a couple of HMS have been substituted for features such as riding Pokemon, then surely there's room for one or two new HMS to make way. Either that or they may just do away with HMS all together.
 
Hmmm, I had a thought: what if Pancham has a branched evolution? One where it embraces the disciplinary teachings of kung fu and another where it retains its naughty ways. Maybe the way you raise it could influence its path in life. Kind of like a "light" and "dark" master of the martial arts or something.

I'd support that. They can't be transferred across generations.

That said, some special occurrences would no longer be possible. For instance, "Fly" wouldn't be an HM, and Pokémon that could randomly know the move before (like a Flying Pikachu) would no longer be able to do it since the ability would not be granted. Unless a second type of ability is being introduced that dictates what kind of HM activities they can do (Dive, Fly, Surf, Cut, etc.).

I doubt they will ever get rid of HMs. They are staples to the game. TMs have as much a chance of disappearing in favor for move tutors as HMs do of being removed. I still think the riding mechanic is some new HM.
 
I can't remember, but did gen 5 make it to where you can replace tm's with hm's? If not it should be done in gen 6 :D
 
Psst, let's talk less about HMs and TMs and more about the new Pokémon.

I do think that the ability to ride Gogoat could be the start of Pokémon possibly having field abilities in the main games though.
