If The Follow-Me Feature Came Back...
*sorry if this has been made, it's hard to keep track!
Which of the 649+ pokemon would you want to follow you around in full-fledged 3D? Also, do you want the follow-me feature to come back in these games? Also discuss what the feature would entail... do you think pokemon could be used more in the overworld? Discuss and explain! :D |
I wanted the follow me feature back...*sigh* Too bad they can't do it for some reason? Well, I wanted the Pokemon I would train to follow me, just like Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
|
Riding Pokémon. Calling it. A select few of Pokémon will be ridable in full-fledged 3D, each getting effects. For instance, I can imagine riding a Dodrio would create a fading after-image.
|
I misread this title...
They've only shown us a small portion of these games, there's still hope! I'd like to see all of the Unova Pokemon and all of the new Pokemon that are introduced in these games. |
Definitely my Nidoking :3 Since it is my favourite pokemon and you can surf on him and it would be so awesome! :3333
But yes, riding a Dodrio would look amazing! Haha I wonder if its heads would be like chopper-propellers! |
Ahhh, if only there is a time where I can surf on a Milotic; that would be an excellent feature~!
Well, I do hope that they'll bring back the follow me feature too; it was really cool in the Gen II remake. ^^ |
I would have my Vaporeon following me around in 3D. That would be amazing.
@TaichiWind Riding Pokemon....brilliant. Also, since it's 3D I would want them to make the Pokemon we're surfing on to be somewhat visible at least. Instead of a blob in the water. |
I think it would be really cool that when you are using fly or surf, the Pokemon that you have using it will be featured instead of that whole random bird/whale deal.
But to answer the question, I would love for my Mamo to follow me! :3 It would be the best day of my life if they make Pokemon ride-able like Taichi said. :,) |
I WANT ALL THE POKEMON TO FOLLOW ME AROUND. That would just be grand.

I would really like it if my Pokemon can follow me again...in 3D! Sadly, it doesn't seem it will have it as the video shows no sign of Pokemon following the player. :(

You guys know I meant I seriously want all 649+ Pokemon to follow me right? At the SAME TIME. :D

I will make Fennekin follow Me:) also I would love to see my Jellicent following me.
|
I would love the riding feature imagine riding on a flying Golurk. or surfing on a Nidoking.
|
Seeing how glorious the graphics are, I would definitely want to have each Pokemon follow me at least once!
|
I'd love for it to return! As for what I'd take... I dunno. If there's Herdier I'd have that behind me because THE LOYAL DOG POKEMON.
|
It would be really nice if the Follow-Me feature returned, but I really don't see this happening though, knowing what I've seen in the trailer. But who knows? Maybe we might see a place where you can let your first Pokémon in your team out of it's Poké Ball and following you around.
It would be really nice to see something like that, somewhat like how Amity Square was in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Versions. |
I'd love to have either Snorlax or Chimecho follow me around! Just imagine how cool a giant Snorlax would look walking around behind you?
Although, the video didn't have any indications to this feature returning. Unless there's an option to turn it off? |
Quote:
Probably the same thing would happen for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y as well, but I would really like to see the Pokémon following you, like they did in HeartGold Version and SoulSilver Version. Or maybe even just for a certain place? |
Quote:
While I doubt we'll ever see the Follow Me feature again <sadface>, I'd like to at least have each of the 700+ Pokémon (new 'mons included) follow me around at least once. However, that would require me completing my entire PokéDex, so I'd probably just keep it to my favorites and currently captured. |
I've been waiting for the follow-me feature since after the release of HG/SS! I'd love to see it in the new games, although I don't know if it'd look as good because the games would be in 3D. In reality, it'd probably look better than the 2D version, but who knows! As for the Pokemon I'd choose to follow me, it'd probably be Gyarados. xD
|
i would love to have this feature back, but there is some doubt that they wont bring it back in these games. But i would love to have my Blaziken, Crobat, Charizard, and/or Umbreon follow me
|
I hope they bring it back.. I doubt it though :( I want my Arcanine following me in 3D .^_^.
|
I always liked my Lugia following me in SoulSilver, so if I could get a Lugia in XY that would be awesome! Otherwise, I'm not too fussy, I just want the follow me feature back in general.
|
If it does come back, I imagine I'll be getting my Glaceon to follow me around most of the time. I would feel a bit weird having a pokémon that wasn't dog-like following me for whatever reason and while Glaceon is not my favourite eeveelution, I think it would look the best. Outside of that, I don't know. Walking around with a Wailord in tow could be amusing.
|
I'd really like for a Pikachu/Meowth to follow me actually, or a Cyndaquil, They are so cute!, i really hope for Gamefreak to add the Follow me Feature again.
|
Yes I want the Follow-Me feature back. They should've kept it in the game since Yellow.
I'd let all of the Pokemon I currently have with me and alternate with each one, same with Soul Silver. |
If they can't do them all then at least have the starters plus evolutions...
|
I love the beforementioned riding feature. And to add on top of that, actually flying on the pokmeon istead of a little animation. I mean like the blimp in the DQ games. Now THAT would make me first in line at GameStop. (Not that I won't be already >.<)
|
Uhm, snorlax? Ahah
Unfortunately, I don't think this feature will come back >:( |
I want this only if they keep the real sizes. If they shrink Pokemon, then it's fake and I don't want it in my game or at least an option to turn it off. I want my Wailord in his full size to follow me!

I'd love if this feature returned!
It was utterly adorable in HG/SS ^_^ |
I would love the follow me feature to return, my first time playing HG/SS I didnt buy a bike because then i couldn't see my Amphy following me
|
I want the first Pokemon in our party to follow us. Just like what they did with HG/SS. That was really one of the best features of the game. Imagine a Yveltal following you around ^.^
Or even riding on Xerneas's back :D |
yes! riding pokemon would be great! riding the Y legendary around would be really fun. the follow feature sounds like it would be kind of hard. if you have any pokemon you size or bigger, you won't be able to see your self.

Aggron! Don't ask me why, but I have always been a fan of Aggron. His Cry is a Train Whistle. He is a bipedal triceratops of METAL !!!!
I want all of the Pokemon to follow me!!!! for the 649 Pokemon, like half of them are my "favorite"! Follow Me made HGSS stand out from the rest. It was the best feature of the game!!! |
I'd like that. don't know which poke though, I do always get a lol by having big ones (wailord) etc following me around though.
|
Yesss, getting the follow-me feature back would be lovely. :3
I'd also like it if eligible Pokemon could be ridden on. Maybe a special HM. It'd be a method faster than the bike/roller skates. |
I love the follow me feature. Would love if you could have two Pokemon outta their Pokeballs too, so I can run around with Espeon and Umbreon, haha!
|
I think this feature must return in Pokemon X and Y. Speaking of Pokemon walking, I would prefer Victini, Shaymin or Xerneas to follow me.
|
i personally hate the follow me feature its ok to have but i dont care for it
|
As much as I would like to see this again, the trailer probably says we won't.
I would like the follow-me feature back sometime, I'd love to have my fave Pokemon walk with me. |
Although the trailer probably said Pokemon walking feature might not happen, I think it would be nice for them to put a switch to turn it on. Who knows Game Freak might surprise us with bringing this feature back.
|
Oh man, I can just imagine how awesome it'll be if they re-added the follow me feature. I would love to have my Blastoise follow me, it'll also be awesome if I could surf on him aswell.
Is there anywhere we can write to Nintendo/GameFreak so that they can take this into consideration?!? |
I would really love this feature to be implemented!! It would make gameplay all the more fun and memorable and lifelike :D Perhaps when the player hasn't moved for awhile, the following Pokemon could do it's own thing, like venturing out some distance from the player, or doing a dance, or blowing a fireball/spout some water, that sort of thing. :3 When the player wants to call the Pokemon back, there could be an option to whistle to it to alert it back to the player's side or something. That's just my opinion.
About asking GF to implement this feature, I don't know whether they would receive feedback from emails, but one could always try. :3 |
I would love this to return. Thoguh I don't think it will since no Pokemon was following the hero/heroine in the preview/trailer thingy. Though, I would love Xerneas or Fennekin to follow me :3 But on other gens, I would love to make Reshiram follow me :33 But riding Pokemon seems really cool.
|
Hmm, if it had been brought back and the size of the Pokemon were a little more in scale with our character, I'd love to have something like a Diglett or a Wailord follow me around. Other than that, though, I loved having my Butterfree follow me in HeartGold, and I'd love to have that again in 3D.
|
It would be epic to be able to ride on certain pokemon (e.g. Arcanine and Tauros, but not things that aren't able to have a passenger, like drifbloom and hoppip) and have their Pokéathlon speed stat determine how fast they would go.
EDIT; While i was thinking about this: Why not make a Ride HM which would replace the bike? |
I'd like the feature where pokemon can follow you around, but ONLY if you could turn it off when you wanted.... For me it got a little old....
|
It's 3D, anything might happen ;) . But I strongly vouch for it, since the follow me thing was REALLY cute, and I was like "Oh, my little Chiko is following me that's so cute!". Riding might be a slight overkill, but hey, all ideas are cool, right?

I really couldn't have cared less for this feature in HG/SS the novelty wore off quickly and it got annoying since the Pokemon just wouldn't stay still, I personally do not wanna see its return unless it was actually helpful.
|
Really why would a simple follow me like HG and SS be nice?I didnt really saw it as anything special.It would be nice though having pokemon when they are small hanging or riding on your back.
|
I guess it'd be cool if it was more useful, like seeing the pokemon you're surfing on rather than some black blob, being able to actually fly to a location (if you want like in Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs) just more interactive with the HM's, I guess. xD
|
They actually planned to bring the feature back in B2W2, they incorporated around 500 Pokemon following sprites and then left it at that which obviously indicates they originally planned too. Maybe they wanted to hold it off for the Sixth Gen when it would be much more advanced with it being a 3D Game?
|
I don't really care it would be really nice in 3d but it isn't a let down if they aren't adding it
But I hope they'll finally add the feature that you're actually surfing on the Pokemon who uses surf and not some random Wailmer/Lapras/whatever If I use surf on my feraligatr I want to surf on Feraligatr and not some other ugly pokemon... |
I guess it could be fun, seeing as 3D is easier to work with. The limitatons of 2D mean that they really weren't going to make a crazy huge spriteset's worth of unique animations per Pokemon, but in 3D, they could give them some sort of mind of their own.
Here's an example: Say you aren't moving anywhere for a while. The game can now have idle animations. The animations are based on three criteria: The nature of the Pokemon, the time of day/how much it's been worked, and how much it likes you. However, to keep things interesting, no dreadfully uninspired and boring animations allowed. Period (like just because the Pokemon's a Caterpie doesn't mean that all it does is blink, if that (or go into a default battle pose). Don't give all the animations to Pikachu simply because it's Pikachu). At the plainest, a Pokemon can look back and forth to get its bearings, but that's it. I feel like if a Pokemon really doesn't like you, after a few seconds, it should get "angry eyes" and then turn its back on you until you start moving again. If a Pokemon has a jovial disposition, maybe it does some backflips in place. If a Pokemon is a trickster or ghost type, maybe it makes a scary face behind your back. Or steals something from your bag (a prop, not a real item) like an apple and eats it. If a Pokemon really likes you, it'll run circles around you if it's small like Eevee or Rattata (and your trainer'll react and have an n_n face or something). If it's bigger, maybe it'll tackle hug you or something. If it's tired from it being late at night, worked for a long period of time, or is just a lethargic Pokemon like Slakoth, it'll just yawn and go to sleep. For something Poke specific, Skitty could chase its tail, Meowth could count the coins it stashed to itself, etc. I think just including stuff like this will give your Pokemon more of a sense of being, because as it stands now, they're just weapons with faces. Honestly, that's all I really want to see in these games. Give me some kind of signs of life with these creatures. I just don't understand why I'm playing a game called Pokemon instead of Advance Wars if Game Freak isn't going to make the effort to have me empathize with the creatures. |
I would definitely want this feature to return omg. It'd be so fun to have a caterpie follow me around. Yes, I'd have to go with caterpie, just because it's the first cute pokemon that popped into my head. The list of pokemon I would want to follow me is enormous (sandshrew, golett, dratini, kabuto, bidoof even...) so basically anything adorable would be what I want. I'd love if they could help you out of battle, like if you could use their attacks to complete miniquests or something! And also, it'd be cool if there was a more realistic friendship system, where it was harder to gain a mon's friendship depending on their nature etc. And having them automatically do some actions would be cool too!
|
I'd like pokemon to follow me, but with slightly better scaling, steelix in hg/ss was slightly taller than a ten year old so if they made some big pokemon look slightly bigger then I'd love it
|
I loved it when I had my starter following me, especially when I was marching up to Indigo Plateau. I really hope this feature is in again, cause it adds more emotion, kinda, and it builds attachment.
|
I don't expect it to happen, but what if you could go into a room that had all of them just walking around, like in the Dream World?
|
If they are going to make following pokemon return, I would like a proper size scale for each pokemon, like the pokemon would be scaled to their actual size - just like in the anime! Wouldn't it be so cool to have a small bug type buzzing around your character as you walk along, or a bird pokemon (such as Archeops XD) flying beside you as your trusty ally?
I like what some other guy said, you could ride your pokemon! Screw the bikes! In this 3D environment, I think it would be a great feature, the only problem is that you have to get a ride-able pokemon, I mean you can't really ride on a joltik now can you? No. I would also like to be able to turn the feature off, you know, just in case I get sick of the follow-me thing. (The size scaling probably wouldn't work if you had a wailord on your team, and it would be pretty tricky using wailord for surfing as well, it's just too big! An onix would work though, it's pretty big but thin at the same time, so it could walk around with you. One way to solve the wailord problem is to not put it in the game at all. There! Problem solved! Who cares if it's not in the game anyway, there are far better water types to choose from.) |
It would be cool if all my party Pokemon decided to follow me. :P That way I don't need to find out which Pokemon I have. It's probably not gonna work for every Pokemon though, as if I caught a Yveltal for example and decided to make it follow me inside a building it would obviously be too big, and it might obstruct the camera's view as well.
So, I do like to see it return; GameFreak may not have realized how useful this feature can be. |
Quote:
There isn't any way to properly size them and allow for easy gameplay. They'd all be scaled up or down similar to how they were in HG/SS and in D/P/Pt. That said. I really do not want this to return. I did not like them using it and found it a huge waste of data that could have been better put to adding more attacks or in game content. |
I really don't care whether this feature is added in or not. But, it would be pretty useless if they did add it in. Not to mention the data it will take up since they would most likely have to remodel every Pokemon again just to put it in the overworld.
|
I would like them to add the follow me feature again :( While they're at it, make an option where you can choose when you want it to follow you or not.

Quote:
I would love to see it back, but as an optional feature. Sadly, I find it unlikely unless otherwise shown. Playing White2 right now and seeing a number of Pokémon out and about makes me realize they could have kept this feature in Gen V, but chose not to. So I'm guessing the Follow-Me was something of an exclusive to HG/SS until they decide to pick it back up again, if ever. |
It would be wonderful having a pokemon following you in 3D but riding them would be pure epic. Especially if you traded a zekrom over lolz or rayquaza, imagine riding them! You should also be able to play minigames while surfing/flying/digging/waterfall scaling. I would love that.
|
It could look a bit like Digimon masters online if they follow you:

You guys know B/W 2 had the code inside and the sprites but they were left unused. Right?

|
With the move to 3D models I would absolutely love for it to return. Having fully rendered Pokémon following beside or behind you would be awesome to see. It'd be an awesome step forward, since I hated that they removed it after HGSS.
|
I honestly hope they bring it back. Since they are creating complete and new models for the 3D battles, it wouldn't be a bad idea for a follow-me feature. But I would imagine there's already going to be OW Pokemon.
|
I always liked that feature and I certainly hope it makes an appearance. Even if not in X and Y, at least somewhere along the line, It'd be a nice show-up if they do happen to remake the Hoenn games. Also,

I personally think the follow me feature is one of the most overrated things in the history of the Pokémon franchise... But! If done right, I'm fine with it.
By done right, I mean YOU choose the Pokémon that follows you, and it can be ANYONE of the six you're currently carrying, not the first. Because, if you're having a mon follow you, it's because it's your favorite one. So, even if fainted, the mon I choose should be the one that follows me, and not necessarily the first one in the party. I mean, in Yellow, Pikachu followed you regardless of position in the party, I'm sure they could do something similar in future games, too. You assign a Pokémon the role of "follower", and it follows you whenever it's in the party, and even if fainted. |

EDIT: Come to think of it, I'd chuckle at a Zorua/Zoroark transforming into the people it sees as you walk along, or even occasionally into yourself. :D Cyclone |

Again with the wonderful things introduces in HG/SS and taken away later generations. GAH! This was such a cute concept and the fact that the pokemon cold pick up various items in various locations really added a new twist on getting items. BRING IT BACK! :D

Stantler! or maybe mewtwo

I would like for my Blastoise and Dragonite to follow me if they feature was re-implemented into the games. I would mainly like my Blastoise to follow me, though. :)

as much as i really want them to bring this feature back i dont thing they will, but maybe we will be able to see our pokemon use hms. Imagine any pokemon you teach surf or fly, you actually see them insted of just a shadow. also using cut or rock smash they would come out of their pokeballs and destroy the tree/rock actually in 3d.
|
I want my Shiny Kyurem follow me...
That would be great! |
Wailord.
Something about a supposed blue whale being tiny always amused me. |
I WOULD LOVE THE FOLLOW ME FEATURE BACK!!! But doesnt look like its happening, be great though. My shiny umbreon woulf follow me around IN 3D
|
Wailord is the biggest Pokémon, but it was still allowed to follow you indoors. They didn't grant this to a few legendaries.
|
Do they follow the trainers? When it's in gameplay? RThat's what I want to find out. I want them to follow me.
|
I want my entire team to follow me!
|
Quote:
But yes, a lot of people want this in the 6th gen. now, too. Cyclone |
Quote:
Another topic is... I'M TIRED OF SURFING ON MY FREAKIN' NON-EXISTENT WAILMER!! Plus, in Gen. V, it looks like your flying on a Pidove or some other non-specific bird. Seriously, if they're going to re-add walking Pokemon (or even if they aren't) they should make it so you're flying on the Pokemon your actually flying or surfing on. Wouldn't it be epic to blast off on Golurk or race away on an Yveltal or float on a Snorlax's belly? But it would also be cool if you could ride the Pokemon and get a speed boost depending on which one you're riding. For example, riding on a Arcanine's back would have to give you some sort of boost. |
I did not like the follow me feature in HG/SS. It was in fact my least favorite thing about the game and I wished they would have made it so you could turn it off if you want. Often times I thought it made things more cumbersome or laggy in HG/SS. I wouldn't mind seeing more Pokemon in towns or in the wild next to their trainers. Like the cutscene with pidove or swoobat on the rooftop in B/W
|
I would love to have Arbok follow me, it's my favorite! <3
http://www.mariokartwii.com/members/8223-albums9878-picture81327.png I said in my recent introductory thread that I had wished the follow me feature had been in more games. |
While I don't see the follow-me feature returning, I would however like to see more Pokémon out and about like KJPokemon suggested. Although it would be a complete tease to those who do want the follow-me feature back.
