    I was thinking about what it would look like if there were more than one pokemon following the trainer. At first it seemed pretty cool, but then I played pkmn ranger and it looked extremely stupid. A possible benefit, though, would be that you could still see your favorite pokemon following you even if you couldn't lead with it for whatever reason.

    So, any thoughts on whether it would be cool or not to have more than one pokemon following you around?

    Vote and discuss what number makes the most sense.

    Anymore then one and it would get too cramped and it would make it more difficult. I can't see them tacking on more then one pokemon following you. Does anyone know if this is optional? Hopefully it is. Although it is a very cool feature.

    I don't see this feature having more than one Pokemon following you. As mentioned already, it would be cramped having 2 or more Pokemon following you at the same time. If for some reason you had to turn around in the opposite direction, there would most likely be a slight delay for your Pokemon to go behind you again. Repeat this scenario with the extra Pokemon following you and it would get pretty annoying quick. :/

    But the option is only available for the lead pokemon... no? That would be cool (or maybe it's true) that we can choose the pokemon that follows? But I'm pretty sure it's just for the lead. And I won't lead with the same pokemon for the whole game

    You are absolutely right, only the lead may follow us. However, more than one Pokémon outside of its Pokéball would be a little too much. Not to mention, confusing and when it comes time to moving around places it can not only get distracting, but difficult as well.

    I appreciate the new feature, I really do, but having even two Pokémon follow would jsut be over doing the fact of it. Comparing it to that of Pokémon Ranger is a difference concept however, as in that game you do not capture the Pokémon in any item to be held, therefore it will need to follow you. However, it is different in the main metagame and like stated many times, one is enough, and two is too much.

    It's meant to be like your PARTNER pokemon follows you, as each trainer has their own special partner pokemon they love (usually your starter.) This wouldn't make sense if you had a bunch of them following you. Not only that but as other people have mentioned having more than one would be messy and not very practical for gameplay.

    Any more than one, and as people have mentioned, it would just crowd the screen way too much. A single Pokemon is all one can really ask for and it is made infinitely brilliant with the fact that all Pokemon can be set to follow you around like Pikachu from Yellow. I can happily say that I'll finally be able to have Eevee and its evolutions chasing after me. XD

    One Pokemon is enough honestly, it would get too overcrowded and most people would prefer one anyway.

    That's an interesting idea but not one to integrate into the game.
    I personally feel that having one pokemon following you is enough and if you had more than one than it would be a little overwhelming.
