who follows me depends on if they have special items and stuff for different Pokemon following =P

~Fairytales.

In pokemon mystery dungeon some pokemon just flopped or ninja floated, anyways, most likely there will be a little side menu or something to decide the pokemon that follows you, It would stink if it was your first slot pokemon, because that would change for me often! My way of training my pokemon is swapping them out each time they level, to even it out peeps!

This is the samething I had in mind as well. Pichu may have been shown as Shiny as it is a special event Pokémon. So, the special ribbon awarded to it may have given it the extra coding that allowed the game to show it in its shiny form. However, it is unknown whether or not all Pokémon may be seen as a shiny like how Pichu was shown. I can't say it won't happen, because it is a possibility. However, if not, then I think the samething only this Pichu and possibly the Red Gyarados may be shown as a shiny when following the player in its OW sprite. The reason why is because both of these pokemon have a special significance compared to the others Pokémon you would normally catch within the game.

By speculation, I believe it was said that the first Pokémon within your party will be the one to always be out. However, I don't blame the game makers to design it this way as it is an easier format to progress. I too will have my OW Pokémon have alternations quite constantly when I'm playing within the main storyline because I prefer to keep my Pokémon at equal levels.

I'd love a Togepi following me. :3

A Snorlax would be comical! xD

boost3r June 28th, 2009 6:58 AM

I would have a beedrill following me but just hope it won't sting me

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ June 28th, 2009 7:23 AM

How would fat Ol' Wailord get around, and Snorlax. Wouldn't there be an EQ?
Also I love the idea, of having my favorite Pokemon follow me

Also the smallest Pokemon (which I think is Sunkern and if not Natu) I just hope it doesn't get stepped on


:t354:TG

omega77 June 28th, 2009 9:27 PM

You know what would be weird, having a Metapod or something like that following you. They can't even move!

ChronicEdge June 28th, 2009 9:30 PM

Slowbro or Momma Drifblim.

Take it Slow, Bro.

You know, for Pokémon the boundaries they try to stay within are always extended. When something seems to be too real, they twist the ends and make it work. So, for something extremely large to follow us, isn't a surprise. However, Wailord will more than likely float as a blimp in its OW sprite. It'll be funny at first, but later sync in as we get used to it.

Also, I wouldn't think of it as creating an earthquake. The reason why is because for one, Snorlax originally lives on land and moves too. So, an earthquake being caused by it would only happen if they tried. As for Wailord, well lets just put it as if it is drifting on air, at least we won't get sqashed.

There are going to be a lot of weird uses when the Pokémon follow us. However, whether it be normal, strange, unreal, or stupid at least we get the benefit of having our favorite Pokémon tag along behind us. Not to mention, we still get items at certain times so it is all the more beneficial to the player. At least let's enjoy it while we can :).

ChronicEdge June 29th, 2009 10:32 AM

I'd like to see a Magikarp just kinda floppin' along behind me.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could ride your Pokemon?

It would be like riding the Bicycle on a river of pure awesome.

Blue Nocturne June 29th, 2009 10:50 AM

That riding pokemon idea has given me a thought.
What if you could actually see your pokemon performing the HM moves.

Example: Rock Smash
You talk to your partner pokemon (or select it from menu)
Partner pokemon/other pokemon walks in front of player and visibly smashes rock
Partner pokemon walk back behind/ other pokemon fades out as if being recalled into pokeball

ChronicEdge June 29th, 2009 11:01 AM

That's a pretty cool idea, Nocturne.

OMG! A Magic player!

I've thought for awhile that there should be a Pokemon race thing, kinda like the beauty pageants but less stupid. Just something to chill out and do. You could enter in a Pokemon, and then it's speed would be max speed, special attack acceleration, defence endurance, attack ability to smash obstacles or jump over them, and special defense stamina or something like that. And it's type could have a bearing on its obstacle weakness or resistance, like fire types would do worse in water, flying types could jump higher, things like that. I know it'll never happen, but it just seems like it'd be kinda cool.

Sorry for deviating from the main topic for a moment. Where did everyone hear about the Pokemon following you? I didn't know until yesterday that Nintendo was actually remaking G&S.

The news about the remakes were probably starting to hint off from late April to early May with the new theme of the Pokémon Sunday show. After that, it was basically a wonder to the fans until finally revealed not too long after during that week. So, many people have known about the new remakes for awhile. There are also more included features and information received since then that you would like to catch up on using the Official Information Sticky.

Anyway, as for the Pokémon following you, it was seen with the starter at first. However, it eventually moved on to us knowing it was all 493 Pokémon about earlier this month. So, it is basicly old news, but I understand you now learning about it.

However, the idea of riding your Pokémon. This leads me to think that the previous idea of surfing on your "Surf" Pokémon's OW sprite would make perfect sense. I wouldn't mind seeing this happen, but only time will tell. Other than this and the Pokémon tagging behind us, they may include other events within the game that might take part in this feature.

PorcelainDoll June 29th, 2009 3:41 PM

This and a few other features will make Soul Silver my fav pokemon game! I can't wait to see my Celebi, Lugia, or Chikorita following behind me when I walk. It seems like they are trying to make this game a little more personable than the last few.

ChronicEdge June 29th, 2009 4:03 PM

I agree, Beauty. You know, that's why I like to do PBR double battles. The Pokemon feel more real, and seem so much less lonely.

Well, when you're not losin', anyway.

Conan Edogawa June 29th, 2009 4:14 PM

I would love to have my pokemon follow me. Whether they're shiny or not when they follow wouldn't bother me. If they were shiny and stayed that way when following you hat would be nice but isn't a big deal to me.

ChronicEdge June 29th, 2009 4:18 PM

Man, I just wanna stroll around the beach with my 'ol bro Slowbro. Chillin' out, catchin' Krabbys, crackin' Cloysters and shuckin' Shuckles.

Hell yeah.

Aether June 29th, 2009 9:49 PM

I'd have my Typhlosion behind me mostly, but I wouldn't mind chillin' with my bro Gallade either.

Unknown Entity June 30th, 2009 9:34 AM

I'd either have my Typhlosion or Nidoking following me. <3

~Ryu

Johto Legend 17 June 30th, 2009 9:46 AM

I definatly think having my favorite Pokemon (Ninetales) would be cool. Of course if I wanted to keep the game classical then there will hopefully be an option to return your Pokemon.

(A little off topic but I realized I havent been posting here at all for months now!)

§acred†Beo! June 30th, 2009 9:47 AM

I would probably have ether my Charizard or Dragonite follow me =)!

Pocchama01 June 30th, 2009 10:18 AM

Gardevoir, Typhlosion, and Dunsparce will probably be the ones following me

i love garchomp June 30th, 2009 10:57 AM

suicune gonna be following me

Sweet Smoochum June 30th, 2009 11:00 AM

I would like to see my level 100 Dragonite and level 100 Togekiss follow me in this game. (Right now, they're in Platinum.) I'd like to see some of my contest champs follow me as well. Magcargo, Venonat, and Milotic.

WisherWisherWish July 2nd, 2009 4:41 PM

Which Pokemon will Follow you?
 
As most of you must know by now, all 493 Pokemon in the world can now follow your character in the brand new Pokemon games, Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver.

But which Pokemon will you let walk with you in the game?

Me, well it would have to be Mightyena. :P. I'm it's #1 fan. lol.

So, who will follow you?
