However, Empoleon is canonically rideable in the games and yet you can't ride him for some reason. I just want to be able to ride him on water.
He's ridden for a large portion of the pokemon rangers shadows of almia game, and is cannonically able to break icebergs in the water with it's head forks given enough force. I honestly don't care about the icebergs part, but he should definitely be a water mount.
i don't care about any new animations just tip him over and throw him into the water
