Ride the Pokémon

It's obvious that some Pokémon could be (or rather, meant to be) ridden on. Even before X and Y (and OR/AS) provided some of the means and Sun and Moon standardized the means for use everywhere in the game, it has been known that some Pokémon can be aptly ridden on, in particular through the use of the move Fly to... fly in the air. Outside of the games, this has been affirmed a few times in the anime, and one of these times is in the third feature film when Ash flew on his Charizard to the mansion. If Pokémon has the potential to be ridden on like real-life animal counterparts, they probably are.

For land-based Pokémon, it's pretty easy to get a feel of riding it - you can just ride something similar in the real world. But for Pokémon that fly in the air, it's a different story. You have to wonder, how would it feel to fly out in the open air instead of in a plane? Does it feel like a roller coaster, except at a slower speed? Or is it like riding a train in the sky? Or are even those too fast? However the sensation feels like, it's certainly a unique one that's hard to find in this world.

In any case, riding a Pokémon is an excellent example of how the Pokémon world much resembles our real world, yet at the same time surpasses it. There are Pokémon that can be ridden on that we know how it would feel, but there are also those that we aren't sure of how it would feel. Such a state leaves room for a little wonder in our minds, but also a reassurance that the two worlds work in much of the same ways. And perhaps in the future, we can make that similarity even closer.
