One of the most mysterious images released in the big July 1st Pokémon Sun & Moon update was this image of a trainer on what appears to be a bicycle behind a Stoutland. In the previous generation we were introduced to segments of the game which allowed trainers to ride Pokémon within certain areas; this included Mamoswine, Gogoat and others. Sun & Moon could restrict players in a similar way, but it could also introduce something totally new.
A clue in this mystery is the collar Stoutland is wearing. It doesn’t just look like the trainer is on a bicycle behind the Pokémon, it appears as if the Pokémon may be pulling the trainer… either in a cart, bike or other contraption. If this were to be the case, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine any Pokémon being able to haul you around. PURE RUMOR ALERT: In fact, the Chinese rumor from a few days ago also included that any Pokémon (save a few) could be used for transportation. I accidentally left that bullet point out (yes, I’m sorry).
Unfortunately, one thing that tempers our expectations is the fact that the background doesn’t appear to be a regular part of the traversable overworld. The sparse details make it look more like a cutscene or scripted section of the game similar to last generation.
Either way it looks like a fun method of transportation and I can’t wait to get more details!

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon GO!
I hope we can ride whatever we want. It would make traveling more interesting. I wonder if different pokemon will have different speeds according to their size?
I had an idea in next game of a raceing minigame where you could obtain a Mega Stone for Gogoat
The eligible Pokemon for it were
Skiddo line
Ponyta line
Duduo line
Rhyhorn
Mamoswine
Blitzel line
if we can ride any pokemon it’s pretty much a ripoff of dragon quest monsters joker 3 that was released a couple months ago. It has the same feature xD
I wouldn’t exactly say riding on the back of things is a Dragon Quest original idea.
well it’s not no, but IF we can ride any pokemon that would be quite a coincidence
Off topic but A Story for Pokemon myth lovers
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ml-NNLvqTFM
I’m gonna ride a Gastly.
But really, I hope we can’t ride many Pokemon. I don’t want the gamemakers to put more focus on making that work than say, the storyline.
Gastly? I’m gonna ride a Cutiefly.
I hope we can ride Charizard or some legendary.
Don’t mind the 10 year old riding a 21 foot tall Hoopa Unbound in MeleMele island
Fat chance you’d actually have one
I actually still don’t… ;~;
I do, did you want one~?
My only mount will always be my Mamoswine
Sure I could ride a Rhyhorn if I weren’t twice its size and barely twice its weight
Mamoswine would be fitted with a easy to outfit riding tarp and saddlebag filled with the copious amounts of food I gotta feed my entire team (seriously nobody ever realizes that we gotta feed these things)
But for air and sea
Flygon and or Golurk might be able to haul my bulk in the air
But for rivers and oceans maybe a Whiscash or Swampert but I did have this idea of having two Stunfisks strapped to my feet and kinda skate across
You’re 500lbs?
Hell no
Mid 300s
Holy balls this is like an eldritch horror

Pokemon Cuthulu
That is something I’d like to see
But I think that’s Trademarked by Lovecraft
So we’ll have to wait for another Evil Pokemon
Insatyr Dark/Fairy
The Sinister Pokemon
This Pokemon’s horns can sense disharmony, they draw power from negative emotions and cause chaos
Actually, it’s been proven that Cthulhu is in the public domain, meaning anyone can use him.
Plus, we already have the Inkay family.
Welllllll
Inkay and Malamar are actually based on vampire squids which use brightly flashing bioluminescent lights to disoriented predators and or prey
But I truly want a legitimate evil Pokemon and sure Malamar can be evil I’m just looking for something that IS evil not misunderstood or tortured a Pokemon that legitimately seeks out and causes chaos out of its own desires to be evil
Because those writing saps would easily turn this thing into a lonely prankster acting out, hell no, a truly malicious entity
Vilgax…?
im laughing because the one bullet point you forgot is literally a make or break the rumour. All pokemon being ride-able? sounds fake to me
HAHA

O_o
That’s embarrassing
What a sexy body Tangrowth has. I never knew under all those blue vines it was so attractive! lol
You never know what you’ll find in your spaghetti
George Takei: Oh my!
Riding any Pokemon but a select few? I’m really now starting to wonder if the Chinese leaker is mixing facts with lies. Sure he got Salandit right, but this could be another Gematsu leaker case, where the leaker got some things right then his credibility was completely torn down when he promised that Shulk would be revealed on July 14th, 2014, instead we got Lucina, Robin, and Captain Falcon. I’m hoping that this is the case. The “No traditional Gyms and Pokemon League in Alola. You have to create your own” line still makese me very uncomfortable still.
Vote for your favorite Kanto Gym Leader if you haven’t yet! The next article in the series will be published this Friday!

Let the CoroCoro hype start. ????
About the riding, I would love it be more involved with some missions and stuff to complete the main plot. Also please let Litten be rideable !
How the effing hell would a tiny 1 foot high cat be rideable
How can you fly on a small bird like Pidgey and the like?
It’s just Pokelogic
Plus, if it is a cart they can push, it makes sense that they can ‘ride’ them
Technically it’s an attack that soars up and strikes the next turn
But the field usage has some unrealistic bypasses
Based on Stupid things Pokemon does how do I know Miltank won’t be rideable some more on that here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3S36cKVnis
I meant his evo obviously.
I am sure that Litten will not quadrupedal when he evolve but I don’t mind though.
I still hope it will be, but we shall see.
I imagine when they say “almost any Pokemon” they mean more so that you can ride the big ones. With that said based on the pic that’s on the official site it look more like you’re riding on a chariot rather than the actual Pokemon. So maybe the idea of “riding almost any Pokemon” is more so almost any Pokemon can pull the chariot or whatever you’re on. I guess we’ll find out lol
Who likes my new avatar for now it is a rejected Pokemon named Kurusu I discovered that I love!
I know this one should be in Totodile place but GF given up on him in last moment ….nice avatar dude.
Thank you I mean I like Totodile but this would be a better starter mabey if GF wants to he will be reintroduced as a new Pokemon in a later generation.
I think riding pokemon could be fun. Maybe they can make it like surfing in oras, the speed of riding can be faster or slower depending on the pokemon, and certain pokemon can do certain things, like go back over ledges or going down side of cliff. It could easily be an amazing mechanic if pulled off correctly.
Also Since my phone is stupid im not able to enjoy pokemon go.
Oh I found Mankey and Shellder and hot on the trail of Electabuzz
It could really work great, with different missions and races but it really needs to be done well. Maybe not push it to hard in this first run but still make it enjoyable.
When the fruck is some info
I did literally nothing but laze about all day and I feel like a bile
I need someone to rev up my engine
Well here’s a [presumably] fake leak if you want that
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1468270880918.png
Fake, the background isn’t a total cluster f**k
It’s fake but it like looks cool
I agree. It’s kinda like a Marshona dolphin
it will come less than a week dont baby it out. Its quite annoying seeing your useless spammy “Bored….” comments or “omg we need news.”
ESPECIALLY when you make these comments days after we have news. Just shut up and post something relevant to pokemon that can add discussion. Maybe you can try adding to discussion than posting something completely irrelevant and stupid then you wont be bored. We will get news we get it every month so there absolutely no need to lower your self to whining. It’s annoying to read and annoying for newcomers too.
Stop Pokémon abuse! Riding Pokémon has been linked with increased back problems and an increase in cardiovascular disease in the Pokémon studied. Stop Pokémon riding now! Donate $5 at http://www.pokejungle.net/petp now to the People for Ethical Treatment of Pokémon to support our cause!
Did you hear what Petp did? They made a really weird pokemon game about abused animals. Like, the snake had like a chain around it’s neck. They’re crazy
That’s terrible
Fehhhh if a Phanpy can easily carry an average adult then how could us riding them hurt them
You’re website seems to be displaying an error code. Is this some kind of joke? POKÉMON ABUSE IS A REAL ISSUE PEOPLE!! THINK ABOUT THE LITTENS!!!!
To hell with the littens
If it doesn’t end up Fire/Fighting or Fire/Ground I could care less
Please not Fire/Fighting. Think about the Littens
Feh
How could you Fire/Fighting should be done!
It should be done with every fire starter
Why would Charizard be Fighting?
Warrior like mentality
But it isn’t, gladly.
I would like to ride a Samurott or Swampert to be honest. They look quite mighty.
Btw I would like Popplio to go Quadripedal, there are some neat possibilities.
Wonder if CC will reveal a gym leader?
Oh man, Imagine riding a badass Feraligatr down a waterfall!
I would ride a Feraligatr on land if I could.
And having your backside sliced by its razor sharp spines
Saddle yo
It better have a back to it
You could probably fit something between the spikes
Maybe?
Ohhh neat one.
Or a flaming Infernape up some big Forrest trees.
So many possibilities. I love that. Riding really does give some new options.
But I would want the riding Poke to be the 7th Poke. Not obligate to fight , just transportation.
They could have huge trees that need to be climbed in to get certain items.
And dodging wild Pokemon attacks along the way. *_*
Infernape are actually pretty short just kissing 4ft
Speaking of Infernape did you know a rejected Pokemon in Red/Blue Gold/Silver that looks like Chimchar probably revived idea to make him
I hope they bring back the fire bear
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6e/Alpha_honouguma.png
That’s a rat not a bear
From Bulbapedia
While not confirmed, its name, a combination of 炎 honō (flame) and 熊 kuma (bear)
nope its original classification is a bear …..he should be the fire starter of gen2 but they repace it by Cyndaquil for some reason.
I honestly don’t give a shit
I’ve been on one hell of a losing streak all afternoon
Then don’t start a conversation with him if you don’t even care.
I wouldn’t call confusing a cartoon bear for a rat when it isn’t even a fleshed out design a loss
Well I call over 16 losses in one day a huge loss
These two actually should come back the other being my avatar they are adorable
I would like to ride Drayden, looks quite mighty.
That’s better than than ride Ferrothorn at least.
okay I’m going to be like Casey Jones and high-speed it to our destination!
I caught a Parasect today on the way to the airport. There was a Scyther around somewhere as well but I couldn’t find it. Oh well, I’ll find another one someday…
I hope it dies
Can you come to chat now?
In GO I feel outnumbered in my section of town. I chose team Mystic and every time I take a gym, within 30 minutes it is retaken, despite posting ~700 CP Pokemon at the gym. There is mostly team Valor in my area, so there is barely anyone to reinforce my gyms. On a side note, I challenged 5 different gyms yesterday and it glitched out 4 of the 5 times. Despite the issues though, GO is amazing.
Did pkmn GO need GPS ? …….I didn’t know much about these stuff.
Weeeeezzzzzzz …….any Volunteers??
It definitely does. That’s how it keeps track of where you are. It’s basically running on Google Maps
Oh man, this is amazing

(Original thread https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4scub9/i_animated_this_over_the_weekend_while_i_was/ )
It’s aight. Would be better with that Zapdos 😛
Even though I’m totally on Mystic, Zapdos and Moltres ones would be awesome!
Mystic reporting!
Feh I’ll shoot it down with Rock Wrecker and the bird dies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qUuH-GcuMM
What did he say
.. It’s on the…. its on the title…
That is a very nice gif! Got one for Instinct?
Unfortunately no, I hope the animator will make some for the other teams!
Tis a shame, but it would be nice to have one for Zappy lol
Woo Team Mystic! Just took two gyms from the valor scum (just trash talk, not trying to offend anyone).
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1468270880918.png
Already posted below but I love this
Is this fake or up in the air?
Definitely fake. Otherwise everyone would be talking about it everywhere lol
Yeah it was a bit off putting that it had one comment before I posted.
Fake but cute.
Dear Scyther….why won’t you show up on Pokemon GO for me?
Question… does Pokemon Go have evolutions for pokemon that get evos in gen 2?
Not yet. As it stands those Pokemon can’t evolve. Not until they add the Gen in an update
No I heard they will make updates for other generations in the future Oh and where do Porygon live in the game?
I think I heard it’s in the city?
Hmm it’s too bad I’m not going their anytime soon I would love that
Oh right the Mountainous areas hold so far-
Jigglypuff
Clefairy
Mankey
Geodude
Ryhorn
Krabby has been common
And most common Pokemon like Ratatta, Weedle, Caterpie, Pidgey, Spearow, Zubat
