Obvious spoilers ahead. Full credit goes to Matt on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1062574645591793664 On land: - Charizard - Kantonian Persian - Arcanine - Machamp - Rapidash - Dodrio - Haunter - Onix - Rhyhorn - Rhydon - Kangaskhan - Starmie - Tauros - Aerodactyl - Snorlax - Dragonite Over sea: - Gyarados - Lapras
I find it odd that you can ride Starmie on land but not in the water. I find it equally odd that you can't ride Blastoise or Venusaur. The rest I'm okay with.
I'm surprised some of the larger Water-types, like Blastoise and Dewgong, can't be ridden. Gyarados and Lapras make sense, but there are a number of other Water-types that could also fit the bill (not to mention Snorlax, who - at least, in the anime - is proven to be a good swimmer itself).
So Charizard can be ridden, but Ivysaur and Blastoise can't? That seems a little unfair. But I'm looking forward to being able to ride Haunter, because I really love Haunter. I also want to see how it would look to ride a Machamp. The idea just makes me laugh.
You can ride Starmie over land but not water? That seems...contrary. Kantonian Persian has gotten quite a bit bigger too if you can ride that. xD Anyone else going to have Always by Erasure going through their head when they ride a Rapidash?
I'M GONNA RIDE A CHARIZARD also sad that you can't ride on ninetales : ( I still haven't played these games, but gonna try to get a Switch in the coming months.
