10 Reasons To Be Excited For Pokémon Sun & Moon

10. Poke-Rides

Trainers in Pokemon Sun and Moon will be able to call on Pokemon that aren’t in their party to transport them, through the sky, sea, or land.

A recent trailer showed a Charizard taking the protagonist through the sky, a Tauros running him across the land, and a Sharpeedo taking him through the water.

The exact mechanics are still to be explained, but they will hopefully make having Pokemon in your party that know HMs unnecessary. Some sacrificial lamb will probably still have to learn Cut and Strength, but the Fly, Surf, Whirlpool, and Waterfall HMs may become obsolete, and to be honest, good riddance.
