I don't like the idea of all 493 following. Just looks at the Sinnoh Legends; these things are literally gods. Having them walk around town is just unrealistic. I also don't like how the system works, where the first Pokemon in your party is the one they gets sent out. What if I'm training a certain ugly Pokemon and therefore have to put it first in my party? I'd much rather have it so that whenever we check out party we can choose which Pokemon we want to have walk with us.

Since Pokemon follow you now, maybe the ones that know surf will pull the trainer when surfing.

This is what was being discussed in the Speculation Sticky before. Some think that the surfing sprite might be the same pre-set image. However, some think that with the new OW sprites for all 493 Pokémon being available, we may have their surfing sprites out as well. I don't know exactly how it may work, but if they do implement this idea into the game, then I would think it is about time. I always would have enjoyed seeing something like this, but we'll see what happens from here. If not in this generation of games, then maybe the next.

Put it this way, if we only had a selected few Pokémon able to follow us, then there would be an uproar in complaints. Some would not like the chosen Pokémon to be used to follow and others would then there are those who would complain...just because. Anyway, it is best to keep it at all, as it's a basic plus to the game and fans who want their favorites to follow them. However, some hope for it to be optional, so we'll see how that turns out later on.

Now as for size, most likely, they'll fit in each one to one tile. This way it keeps space in the game and makes it easier to move around. Not to mention, we've seen a large Pokémon [Steelix] in its OW sprite following Gold already. By the looks of it, things seem pretty well taken care of for the larger sized Pokémon. To comment on choosing which Pokémon to follow in your roster, keeping the first in line out is basically the easiest to format in the game. It also makes a lot more sense as it'll be the first Pokémon sent out to battle too. As for your ugly trained Pokémon, I guess this is where the optional feature may come in handy [if available].

here are my thoughts:

I think Rotom's Mow form should be in front of you... just sayin'

I wonder if Diglet will be underground most of the time and just poke it's head up out of the ground every few steps.

will Muk leave a slime trail behind it?

I think I said this earlier, but will ditto transform into the last pokémon encountered? or even into the player character. (in the anime, ditto can transform into more than just pokémon.)

I'm probably gonna have my Charizard follow me, it was the evolution of my first pokémon ever.

Britney's Circus June 16th, 2009 8:03 AM

Jigglypuff and Clefairy will follow me around because that's how i roll.

shadowbmz June 16th, 2009 1:14 PM

If I could have any pokemon it would be ....
Giratina = now those Rocket grunts wont mess with me X.X
Charazard = just awesomeness
Deoxys = 'Dude you have an alien following you'
Lucario = I have aura what now
finaly,
Rampados = dinosuar pet :)

Too bad you spelled it wrong. Ha... i'm just kidding bud
i would go with... sunkern. seriously, how?!

lolwut June 16th, 2009 1:34 PM

I would have something massive following me like a rhyperior or a legendary, i just think that'd be pretty cool.

TeirusuFX June 16th, 2009 1:43 PM

I'd have my trusty Latias by my side.

And maybe I'd get a red suit and a red fedora, and I'd look so awsome. :O


Ribbish June 16th, 2009 4:00 PM

My Squirtle or Wartortle. I <3 those little turtles. (I dislike Blastoise though...)

And what would it look like if a legendary could follow you o.O

By all i meant any pokemon lol, not ALL of em. (that'd be.........silly XD)

Ooooh, either Sudowoodo or Flygon or Glaceon or Cloyster...Heck, all four of them if I could. :D

Samme! June 17th, 2009 12:27 PM

I absolutely love this feature I'm just wondering if you will be able to have times when nothing is following you....? Maybe an option to put it back in it's pokeball?

This idea has been brought up before, the thing is no information has been brought up about whether the "Following Partner" feature would be optional or not. It'll be nice because I know not everyone would enjoy having something follow them at all times. Though, I would expect it not to be shown at certain times such as when riding our bikes or surfing on water. It seems unlikely for them to follow us at these times for screen space issues, but you never know if GameFreak could figure out away around it.

Samme! June 17th, 2009 3:49 PM

Heheh it would be really funny if you pulled the pokemon along when you were on a bike :P hahah lol ((That'll never happen though)) And it would look really screwed up

CyanideEspeon June 17th, 2009 5:00 PM

I'd love to see Pokémon that aren't "cute" following me, like Giratina.

Haza June 17th, 2009 5:18 PM

The new video on Filb.de shows footage of Arceus following and Gizamimi & PC Pichu following at the same time.

Sweet Smoochum June 17th, 2009 10:31 PM

I would like some of my Pokemon from my Platinum to follow me in Heart Gold. PorygonZ, Dragonite, Leafeon, Floatzel, Togekiss, Venusaur, Mr. Mime, Gengar, Vaporeon, Gyarados... (all of these Pokemon are over level 80 & legit.)

Edit: haven't seen that video yet.

Haza June 17th, 2009 10:33 PM

I wonder if shiny pokemon other than Gyrados and Pichu will be shown walking.

Cornelius June 17th, 2009 10:35 PM

I think that the idea of any Pokemon being able to follow you around is the greatest thing yet to happen in a Pokemon game (maybe not, but it's pretty cool). I enjoyed having Pikachu follow me around in Pokemon Yellow; I felt better with company rather than just walking alone. Plus, it makes that lead Pokemon feel closer to you as they follow you around.

derozio June 18th, 2009 1:43 AM

I am thinking of making an Aerodactyl follow me for maybe some time of the game as I want to see how they make him look. I may also take a metagross out and see him walk with those four cute legs. I find Metagross's legs very cute. (I am actually going to bring all of my captured pokemon out one by one as I would like to see all of their sprites.)

Samme! June 18th, 2009 7:41 AM

I wonder if having a pokemon out who has an HM would show that pokemon smashing a rock, or moving a boulder, or cutting down a tree....?

zirico June 18th, 2009 10:31 AM

I'll be having my Umbreon, Cydaquil and Squirtle following me around so I'm not bothered about the Legendaries.

P l a t i n u m June 18th, 2009 10:34 AM

A Eevee Will Be Wif Me. =}

This is actually a good question, because right now nothing is known about it. However, if it is done so, then for the least if the HM using Pokémon is out first then more than likely it may simply step up in front of the object and the usually screen event may happen for the HM use to be fulfilled. This also brings up the topic on surf as well as if we'll actually be getting to ride on our actual Pokémon with their individual OW sprite or if it'll be a set figure like usual. Whichever, it doesn't bother me as I'm used to how things work, but nevertheless it'll still be a nice touch to the game.

A couple of Pokémon I'd like to have following me though are probably Notch Eared Pichu, Houndoom, a few legendaries, and a personal favorite Electivire and a newly trained Dragonite. It'll be really cool to see how it all turns out with this feature and a fun little thing to play around with when bored I would believe. With this new addition to the game along, it only brings the quality of the game to something higher than before. Not to mention, the next generation of games are going to have to come good to overcome this one remake.

Banjora Marxvile June 18th, 2009 10:44 AM

A pokemon that is a definate must for me (and Aero., i'm sure you guessed it) would be Weavile.
