New Travel Mechanics
If we’re exploring a vast world in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, new travel mechanics are vital.
In the past, we’ve had a few travel options. Running shoes, bicycles, and rollerblades were the most common. Most recently, we’ve had the ability to ride on Pokemon.
If options like these return, it could be a great way to travel across ancient Sinnoh quickly. It would be even better, though, if new mechanics for traveling quickly tied to the setting are introduced.
It’s hard to not look at visually similar games such as Breath of the Wild and take ideas from that. Imagine seeing a mountain in the distance and climbing the side until you get up to some icy cliffs. What if you got to the top and swiftly paraglided to the bottom?
Since these are the early days of Pokemon, it’s possible that HM moves like Surf and Dive for navigating the waters don’t exist yet. It would be fun to see water travel such as swimming, diving, or manning a boat in their place.
