Why is Game Freak so damn stubborn when it comes to riding Pokemon?
>>59190106Because you’ll buy it anyway
>>59190106Palworld and Monster Hunter Stories mogs them in Creature Mounts
>>59190106Too much effort. It's easier to just use the premade walking animations and give you a static hover scooter to ride on. Same reason why we'll always have a Rotom phone from now on: they don't have to animate hands for it.
>>59190106too much work. literally.this way they can preach ALL pokémon are rideable is some capacity (not really but still even a stupid weedle can take you home).
>>59190131>>59190133All this to just have 600 mons dexcut in Winds and Waves, man they're so fucking lazy
>>59190140not even all of them are big enough or suitable to be ridden. it will be only 1/3 of that max, most likely less. But still too much work for them.
Its just like Koraidon/Miraidon, you get a vehicle so you don't waste slots on HM slaves to transverse.How is this a bad thing?
meanwhile roco kingdom worldeach monster has a ride or walk animation with the playerif the monster is small, they "walk" or interact with the player insteadsome carry player, some hold hands with player, some will be carried by player, some will do other animation like covering player's head (such as the cauldron mon or the fish mon), and some can be ridden like horses
>>59190225the player carries the unevolved grass cat mon, but when the grass cat evolves, it'll carry the player insteadalso some mons will carry two players instead of one like the boar mon
Gamefreak is a soulless company, they don't care if people think it's cool to ride on your Arcanine or whatever, they need to shit out the next game as efficently as possible Thankfully modern audiences are also slop consumers so they enjoy being good goycattle
>>59190131That's sad, you can do fun thing with riding a mon to give them personality.
>>59190106That shit is going to have a Rotom incorporated for sure, so she's riding a Pokémon
>>59190225>even pokemon knockoffs are mogging that chicken cosplay monsterLOL
Because exploration is a primary means of gating the player, and with HMs gone the player needs some other kind of exploration gate to ensure they don't just wander off and break the story. Even SV, despite being open world, still had exploration gates with raidon abilities, so you couldn't immediately go everywhere in Paldea, just a lot of places.
>>59190123the hell did the blue dragon say to the big green dragon?
>>59191688Eh if Xenoblade X has taught me anything it's not to underestimate the power of mountain goating. Once you get Miraidon's jump ability you're set
bumpy
>>59192233>CENTRO'S A NIGGA
SMT imagine still has the best mounts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD4rBQENf3Y
>>59193395I keep forgetting about Mara.
>>59193395>no animation for the mount>just despawn the model and play a poorly-timed particle effectHow lazy can you get?
>>59190106If they make pokemon mounts then eventually a huge part of the fanbase will demand every pokemon be a mount, even gardevoir.I personally would like to have meloetta mount my character but we can't have all the good things
>>59190106thats a rotom. it Is a riding pokemon
>>59190106Would it kill them to fucking let me ride my own horses.Letting us ride mudsdale was a good idea, I just wanted to ride my own fucking mudsdale that I caught and had on my team.
>>59190106>Why is Game Freak so damn stubbornBecause they're Japanese and in Japan not being stubborn is very dishonourabur.
>>59190123Kino
>>59190123Palworld has my favorite mounts in a creature collector because you can attack other mons with your mount as well as attack with your weapon
Even the biggest GameFreak hater has to realize the logistics issue of rideable Pokemon. Gen 7 had it, and the most obvious points of bitching came from there being a super small selection and not it being your own Pokemon. Let's Go had it, but it was limited to a dex of 151, and not even every Pokemon was rideable (barely over 10%). And now we have a dex that numbers over 1000?It's a pipe dream.
>>59193576There's only so many body types. Quadrupeds would be ridden all the same way, for instance.Going for a limited selection of Pokemon would honestly be fine, just as long as they were your Pokemon and not a gay rental.
>>59193576>strawmanning biggest GameFreak haterplay non-pokemon game please.
>>59190106walking and running animations are too much work for that poor small indie company even tho these already exist since SM for a lot of them https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Xf4mLPn3d85kRHcXX5zgLxbvOkkFacU
>>59191667Now in English.
>>59190200I would even just take like 10 rideable mons.
