>>48541523Since this is still the ideas anchor, let me add some bit.
I love riding in this game, feels really fun, but I was a bit disappointed when I got on my Piloswine and found out he gets slowed down by deep snow as much as my Kangaskhan.
I really think it would be great (if it would be possible to implement) that certain lines get some small unique characteristics when riding around. Like Rapidash and Arcanine could run slightly faster than normal, and certain lines could intimidate away aggressive pokemon.
Also I think snow and sand "riders" should ignore encounters to make them actually worth using to traverse certain biomes over flying, because if you're being stopped every 2 steps might aswell avoid snow/sand alltogether making this potential feature useless.
Thoughts?
Also something needs to be done about the surfing speed, man is it slow.
