The Following Feature - Third Version [ #11 ]
 
Black and White Poll #11:

The Following Featurehttp://i51.tinypic.com/erzk2g.gif


So as many of you know, the following feature was one of the most popular and acclaimed features of HGSS. Unfortunately, GameFreak decided not to bring back the feature for Black and White. This hyped addition was most likely a promotion for HGSS as they figured it would bring more buyers.

So my question to you all, would you like to see the following feature brought back for a possible third version? Or maybe not? ;)

I surely want this feature back in the third game! D: This was one of the few reasons why I liked HG/SS and therefore I want it back! >O

I'm completely indifferent. The following thing was a nice gimmick, but added nothing.

Kevin December 12th, 2010 8:10 AM

Yes, it would be a nice extra feature for the third game Pokemon Gray of the Unova series. I also would like to see the Unova overworlds.

mikey December 12th, 2010 8:32 AM

I'd love to see this return in the third game, it was so much fun in HG/SS :)

Bluerang1 December 12th, 2010 8:56 AM

No, no I don't want it back. It was a thing to celebrate GSC's 10th anniversary, and it will be used to probably be back with the RS remakes. I'm on my bike mostly anyway, and having to walk with Pokemon gets annoying, it's like something holding me back.

Yusshin December 12th, 2010 9:03 AM

I'd like to have it back; it was a great feature that many fans have wanted since the introduction of Pikachu in Pokemon Yellow. Though I'm sure not having it wouldn't reduce the number of buyers, there's no reason not to be able to include it and have an On/Off feature for those who don't want to have a Pokemon follow them around.

Kenshin5 December 12th, 2010 9:50 AM

I would like to see it back, it would be nice if there was an option to turn it off and on.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 12th, 2010 3:33 PM

I want it back :D! I think I will miss having my pokemon follow me everywhere :(

The Red Chain December 12th, 2010 4:18 PM

Not gonna lie, I definitely miss the follow feature.
It was extremely cute, and enhanced the Pokemon experience for me.

But if you're gonna put it back into the games, give us the option to return the Pokemon back to it's Pokeball as well.
Sometimes it's nice to not always have something trailing behind you. ^^;


OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 12th, 2010 4:50 PM

I agree with the off opinion for those who hate to have their pokemon follow them.

Thought the same thing. It is cute and it's fun to at least slightly know how your Pokemon is feeling, but other than that not much. I'll be fine if it comes again, but if it doesn't I'm okay with that too.

Alternative December 12th, 2010 5:39 PM

I think the following feature would be nice to have in the third game, but I highly doubt they'd put it in the third game, since it wasn't in Black/White.

PlatinumDude December 12th, 2010 6:26 PM

I loved the walking feature in HG/SS. I want it to make a comeback in the third version of B/W just to see how the Unova Pokemon are feeling when they walk with me.

twistedpuppy December 12th, 2010 6:48 PM

Yes, yes, and yes! I miss having my favorite mons following me. I feel so lonely without them.

Haza December 12th, 2010 6:50 PM

If it doesnt make its return I'm gonna be one annoyed divo...

Legendary Silke December 12th, 2010 7:27 PM

Well, I don't really care about it. I wasn't bothered with its absence. But still, if it was suddenly introduced in the third game, well, I'm all for it!

vaporeon7 December 12th, 2010 8:43 PM

I would like to see it in the third game. I would especially like it if when you use Surf you can tell what Pokemon you are surfing on or when you are surfing the swimming Pokemon (if it can) swims behind you.

Dillon_68 December 12th, 2010 9:01 PM

Doesn't matter, I'll probably skip the third game this time.

King Gumball December 13th, 2010 12:23 AM

I would absolutely love to see the feature come back. Especially with all of these new pokemon, I thought it was a really cool feature.

Kirbychu December 13th, 2010 12:34 AM

I absolutely loved the feature, and would be overjoyed if it made a comeback. This was the reason I never rode my bike in Heart Gold. They could make it optional this time to please everybody. Not to mention that it would be a wonderful feature to add in order to encourage more people to buy "Gray".

Mew~ December 13th, 2010 10:15 AM

I would love it, I loved havin' meh typhlosion follow me everywhere in Soul Silver.

Of course it wouldn't effect the the games storyline or anything thing, but it's still a really great and fun addition.

Maybe they could add some features to it n' stuff. Maybe even like a sorta mini Nintendogs thing, "Nintenmons?" Well you could wash, feed etc... but then again that could be a whole game. Maybe just a few little features to make the pokémon seem less lifeless, maybe give them facial exspessions on the sprites, so you don't have to click em.

MrsNorrington December 13th, 2010 10:26 AM

I want it back so badly ='( It was my favourite feature of all the games! My Pokemon felt so real, I could really bond with them.

Now I don't want to transfer my shinies into Black/White because walking around with shiny Pokemon are amazing!

I have hopes that they'll bring it back. It must take a long time to animate all 649 Pokemon...so I think they might be working on it for the third release.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the following feature was something that came along two late to be included in the first versions of Black and White that we received, considering that Black and White have been in development for about 4 years, a lot of that time spent concurrently with HGSS's development and only a short amount of time to see what the players thought of the feature.

As such I expect it will be in any future games due to how well it was recieved in HGSS.

I think so too. I imagine the rudimentary form of B/W was in the works far before HG/SS was.

But I'd love to see it in a third game. Lot's of new awesome Pokemon to follow me. like Wargle. :3
