>>40693794>Trains are made to follow a set path. How are you gonna make that work in the anime?But this isn't an actual train. It would be a sentient lump of coal resembling a train with parts that function as wheels. It doesn't need a track to function and the wheels could turn.
>How would such a Pokemon even be able to battle?It would fight normally with my argument above. It has biological disadvantages as you mentioned, but that's the fun part. Seeing a train-shaped Pokemon in battle would be very interesting. It would have to loop around to watch its back, and have some way to prop itself up if it were to get knocked down.
>Some other people have suggested making it a motor cycle but that isn't following the train theme either.The motorcycle idea is dumb, but the train idea would've made perfect sense given the line's progression that was dastardly cut short.
