We had a thread about Poké Ride before the games were released, but what are your opinions on it now? Do you think it's a good replacement for HM's and the bike? What is your favourite Poké Ride and which your least? Which one(s) would you replace with a different Pokémon? Etc.
I personally think it's a great replacement for HM's, not having to constantly make sure you have a Pokémon on your team with a certain HM to be able to progress through the game is one of the best improvements of the games ever imo. I prefer them over the bike too, riding a Pokémon is just way more fun.
My favourite is Sharpedo Jet I think, it's just really cool to race over the water like that. Also a big fan of Stoutland Search, gotta love running around on a big dog. I dislike Machamp Shove though, it's just awkward and creepy imo. Would've loved it to be a Bastiodon for example, which pushes the rocks with its head. And I think Charizard should be replaced with a Pokémon that actually appears in the Alola Dex, like Salamance or Braviary. Tropius would've been great too, but sadly it isn't in the dex.
