>>34325916Ride pokemon ware so close to being great, but have 2 major problems:
>that forced musicFucking terrible. The overworld music in this game is great. If I used ride pokemon the way I actually want to, I would spend over 50% of the game listening to the same fucking track. Sometimes I backtrack out of an area and back in just to have normal music. I shouldn't have to do that.
How they should have handled it: either no ride music, or have a new instrument or beat added to that area's music when riding. You could even have a different instrument for each ride pokemon.
>those forced outfitsI finally get the option to customize my character in a pokemon game, only to have it completely negated every time I use a ride pokemon. Now, if I want to, for example, go through an entire route on Stoutland so I can find all the hidden items (which I would have enjoyed doing), I have to spend every battle looking at my character dressed like an assburger, instead of dressed in the outfit I put together and paid for.
How they should have handled it: no ride outfits, or make them customizable too.
These annoyances really crippled ride pokemon for me. Fucking gamefreak
