I think it's a cute mechanice, but I'm not sure how much I'll want to use it in-game. I'm rather hoping it's an optional mechanic, although I suppose with Charizard Ride it won't matter too much! I just think I'll be bad at it, haha! >.< It looks like there'll be a chance to battle Pokemon and trainers using the ride? So I'll definitely use it a few times, at least!
