Its Not Just You Being Followed...
 
So, as you know, in the 4th gen, aswith the others, gym leaders always get special stuff. not only are they vital to completing the game, in gen 4 they got cutscense, and talked in battle. furthermore, in platinum, they got animated sprites. so, my question is, for the Johto gym leaders (and silver for that matter...;and the Elite Fouir) do you think we will see a Pokemon (maybe there signature pokemon) bsside them, like with Soul and Gold? it also sucks that the komono sisters dont have their respctive eeveelutions following them

Saud-Blaziken August 11th, 2009 2:55 PM

Well if they do that would be fun

lx_theo August 11th, 2009 3:11 PM

I doubt it. The feature seems to be something they'd want to keep special for the player.

NotchedEarPichu August 11th, 2009 3:16 PM

Yeah I agree with the person above me

theDIRTYAVENGER August 11th, 2009 3:31 PM

Yeah, they all have signature Pokemon...

Bugsy- Scyther
Falkner- Pidgeotto
Whitney- Miltank
Morty- Gengar
Jasmine- Steelix
Chuck- Poliwrath
Pryce- Piloswine (Maybe Mamoswine by now.)
Clair- Kingdra

Whether they follow them or not, that's a different question.

ShinyMeganium August 11th, 2009 3:34 PM

Nah, it's kinda like the Anime. We'll be pretty much the "phailures who can't keep their first-slotted Pokemon inside the Pokeball, yet they beat all the gyms and the E4".

Ellie August 11th, 2009 4:04 PM

Like most of the rest, I don't think others will have it. In Yellow when you had one Pokemon, no one else had them out. Plus the devs might want to keep their best Pokemon a surprise or something.

Eggie Poo Poo August 11th, 2009 5:08 PM

No I know that others don't have it because we've seen screens and videos of the gyms, Morty didn't have a Pokemon next to him, neither did Whitney. Plus it wouldn't make sense because their signature Pokemon that I could think of is not first slot, it comes later in the battle. Your Rival having his starter out could be cool XD, you could see what form his starter is at.

MiniEggs August 11th, 2009 5:13 PM

i think your rival does have his starter out...

jcogginsa August 11th, 2009 5:18 PM

if anyone your only going to fight once has a pokemon out, it'll be red

That makes since, because his Pikachu wasn't in it's pokeball in the anime, or yellow, or (correct me if I'm wrong) the manga. Whatever he's based on, I can't remember.

MiniEggs August 11th, 2009 5:25 PM

fun..... ssounds.... "fun"

the new female character has her starter out

Lightning Sage™ August 11th, 2009 5:28 PM

well NO theres not going to be any of there out because 1.Look at gym shots the poekmon arent out. 2. Waste of time and why would they yttell you there most powerful? 3. Its not even in there front fo party unless they make some special last minute change do not expect this

シルバー August 11th, 2009 5:29 PM

If Silver had his starter out, I would be very please < 3

MiniEggs August 11th, 2009 5:30 PM

Three words... D-N-A. No, but some people will, some won't.

xxChazxx August 11th, 2009 6:00 PM

I think that it'd be awesome to see the signature Pokemon by their side.
But I also do not think that it will happen.

I believe that ShinyMeganium had it right. We will not have the trust of the Pokemon at first, so they will not stay in the Pokeball. The Gym leaders DO have that kind of trust.

i dont think the rival will let his pokemon out cuz he doesnt treat them with love and care and all that ****

thegeneticway August 11th, 2009 6:59 PM

That would be nice but a spoiler wouldn't be that great to other people

Åzurε August 11th, 2009 8:10 PM

Although the story calls for some overworlds. (I can't believe nobody seems to) Remember Lance's Dragonite?

MiniEggs August 12th, 2009 4:13 AM

I wouldnt be happy if my Pokemon didn't trust me and that's why they stay out of their balls (sounds wrong). Its just whichever Pokemon is in your first slot, so it's probably nothing to do with trust because we saw "you" at blackthorn city with "your" cyndaquil out in a pic and I'm sure "it" would have enough faith. Idk why.

LegendMaster97 August 12th, 2009 4:20 AM

i know a few people that didin't battle you had their pokemon out in GSC and DPPt and in almost every other game so i think they are keeping that.

MiniEggs August 12th, 2009 4:22 AM

Some people will have their pokemon out, as I said earlier.

LegendMaster97 August 12th, 2009 4:35 AM

ok im sorry i must have missed that. but can't all of your pokemon follow you?

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 12th, 2009 6:50 AM

It would be nice to see at least three of the gym leaders to have their Pokemon outside of their Pokeballs



:t354:TG

Kyledove August 12th, 2009 9:17 AM

That would be awesome but it would never happen.

Still, I would have said the same about pokemon following you, so there's hope yet?

Guy August 12th, 2009 10:00 AM

I had thought about this idea earlier, and with the supporting role having their Pokémon out, it made me think more into it. However, like one member stated earlier, it wouldn't be the best of ideas knowing we could possible see their strongest Pokémon out before battle. So, to not ruin the fun of surprise and to keep the game in step, I wouldn't have my hopes up for anyone but the main player and supporting character to have their Pokémon outside. Not to mention, for the other supporting role, we might not battle against, but with them at times. So, showing their Pokémon wouldn't be a big deal like it would for Silver or a Gym/Elite's Pokémon. However, the idea always seemed pretty nice to think of and at least for Silver it would be a nice addition.

Mattysaurus August 12th, 2009 10:10 AM

That...would....be....EPIIC!!!

Well, I would want to see it but I don't think Claire would be able to have her Kingdra out because there is only lava around her..

YellowPen August 13th, 2009 12:26 AM

I imagine that;

Soul has her starter out
Silver has his starter out
Gold has his starter out
Lance has his dragonite out
Esuine will has his favorite pokemon out (not sure who it is)
Red will have his pikachu out
Kurt will have his slowpoke out
Nurse Joys will have their chanseys out (known fact)

Have i forgotten anyone?

Haza August 13th, 2009 9:26 AM

I was thinking the same thing! I dont think it will happen though. I wish.

MiniEggs August 13th, 2009 9:27 AM

Mhmm. sounds fun. kinda. :S

Mitchman August 13th, 2009 9:29 AM

Actual in many screenshots you can see that random NPC's have their Pokemon out. I doubt the main characters such as leaders and all would have em but NPC's definitely do. Its about damn bloody time a franchise about 493 bloody different monsters puts focus on them.

Guy August 13th, 2009 9:36 AM

From previous scans, when it comes to the supporting role, they may just be able to have any of their Pokémon follow them besides there starter. For example, it was shown that Soul had a Maril being tagged along behind her in New Bark Town, which isn't a starter choice. So, with this being said, like us, Soul or Gold may be able to have any of their Pokémon follow behind them as well. Besides these two characters, I also think that there is a chance that Red may have his Pikachu out of its Pokéball as well. This will make a bit of sense from past games before this as well as it going with Ash in the anime and his Pikachu. However, like I said before I don't think Silver nor the Elites and Gyms will have any of their Pokémon out as it may ruin the suprirse of what you will have to face in battle.

When it comes to other NPC's in the game though, some may just have their Pokémon out, like shown in previous scans. This is basically a common thing to expect as it has been done before in games before HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Haza August 13th, 2009 9:39 AM

We have already seen pics of Gym Leaders in their gyms so that idea is out. AMybe whb we see them again,

MiniEggs August 13th, 2009 9:41 AM

To get YOUR pokemon out, you just put it first in your party. And some other people will have them out, some won't.

Mitchman August 13th, 2009 9:41 AM

While NPC's have been seen to have them out it has been inside not outside. Its a much more common thing as well now and that's why I said its about time. And yeah we have seen the leader so that is out.

MiniEggs August 13th, 2009 9:45 AM

does it really matter tbh?

Druid August 13th, 2009 11:05 AM

I mean, it isn't that huge a change anyway, so why can't they? It would be pretty cool.

wnxvale August 13th, 2009 11:10 AM

maybe the important people that u meet throughout ur journey will have their signature pokemon follow them for a while...i.e. when lance beats the $hit outta the store keeper to get into one of team rockets many bases...he could have dragonite follow him around that entire time since u meet up with him enough in that part...

Rokusasu August 13th, 2009 3:50 PM

If the Kimono girls had their Eevee evos out, it'd take the fun outta: "Oh crap! I forgot which girl has which Eon!"

Unless you memorised it back in Gen II. D;

MizuJosh August 13th, 2009 4:01 PM

I think one of the top ones had Espeon... :O Haha.

I dun think Kimono girls have their Eons out.
But I do think we'll be experiencing the Pokémon world the way it is in the animé a little more.

Dillon_68 August 13th, 2009 6:47 PM

Well, Morty didn't have his a Pokemon out. I could see Silver maybe having his starter follow.

.inLOVE August 13th, 2009 8:46 PM

1. I would like to see those Kimono Girls with their eeveelutions. That would look cute.
2. I'm pretty sure that the parts where the gyms leaders "talk" and cutscenes would be included in HG/SS. :3
