>>34226468I've been thinking about these since pokerides were announced for SM. Fly is the only one that really makes sense as a ride, set it up in the story like a taxi service and use a large regional bird or bring back soaring from ORAS. A surfboard is perfect for surfing, you can ever make it so you can paddle on it at walk speed and press B to surf faster. Get rid of whirlpool and waterfall as field move entirely but bring back dive as scuba gear. Bring back the dowsing machine too but maybe style it after a beachcombers metal detector. Flash and rock smash would come as an updated explorers kit that gives you a headlamp and pick-axe and let us have some real maze-like caves again. I haven't come up with anything good for strength but Machamp carrying you as it pushes big square blocks is just terrible.
On the other hand if the rides are here to stay, at least give us some better fucking outfits that match the rides. Cowboy hats and boots for riding Mudsdale and Tauros, pilot goggles and a bombers jacket for Charizard, old timey detectives hat and coat for Stoutland. Put some effort into it.
