I loved it. HM management of either having to give up a moveslot, not being able to delete trash like Cut for 70% of the game or just needing to drag around a HM slave made playing previous generations pretty annoying at times. It made the game much less annoying and more fun because there was less annoyance (in that regard at least). But as much as I love Hawlucha, I could live without the terrible outfit. And the less said about that weird Machamp "Ride" the better...
Hopefully it's a feature they keep going forward. I'd like to see other Pokemon be available to ride in different regions, rather than repeating the same ones from Alola. Things like Mantine, Dodrio, etc seeming like easy picks. We had Mamoswine and Gogoat in Kalos too, so they could make for decent returning options.
I also think they could open up more types of overworld puzzles using different types of Pokemon species Rides, since the ride's function doesn't really need to be linked to an existing move, like HMs did (because the Pokemon had to learn the Hm move). Take Mudsdale and Stoutland for examples, their Rides aren't moves, even though we have others like Lapras Surf, Charizard Fly etc. Just seems like there's potential for more things like that there.
