Pokemon Interaction/Walking Pokemon
We all know that Pokemon X and Y introduced the feature 'Pokemon-Amie' where we were able to interact one-one with our Pokemon how ever we desired. I'm concerned that Omega.R/Alpha.S wont present anything to replicate this wonderful feature. I certainly hope so, but if not, as much as it will shatter me inside, at least it gives me closure. I only begun playing Pokemon since Platinum, so I have no idea if the original ruby/sapphire had something of the such. {Doubt it though}
Another question is: Walking Pokemon? will they be introduced into the remakes? While I absolutely doubt this, does anyone also know of this? It would be much appreciated if I could get an answer for this. |
I seriously doubt walking pokemon is gonna be there but who knows? Also amie is already confirmed.

No problem dude.. You can check out any updates to oras here

Oh man I hope not. It didn't look right in HG/SS. It just looks weird with large Pokemon walking with you.
|
Yeah, I wouldn't mind if walking with Pokemon never returned... Unlike seemingly everyone else, I just never liked it :P Probably because it didn't really have a real purpose :P
|
I really liked the feature of having your pokemon follow you, much more than I liked Amie. Plus, it would be even better with 3d models and overworld.
|
I prefer Amie to having Pokemon walk with me myself, but both are cool features in their own ways. I really doubt though walking with Pokemon would return. At least not for these games and as cute as it would be to have my Castform following me, I kinda hope it doesn't make a return if I am being honest.

I'm really hoping they don't do another style change next gen like they've done for every other game. Because the unfortunate thing about it is that it holds back expansion since they're having to reinvent the wheel so many times. |
The graphics for walking Pokemon are cheesy. If you were to do it, I'd definitely want it to be like Yellow. Pikachu following was great. He was a good Pokemon for it. After that, the Sprite sizes stayed generally the same and a Caterpie following you looked not much different than a large Pokemon following you.
After seeing the clips of a dressed up Pikachu, I definitely think that there is a lot of potential in interactions. |

I don't really know how well it would look in these graphics, so I think I'm just fine with Amie :] |

I think even if they revived the 'Follow Me' feature in 3D they'd still have to stylize the Pokemon for the overworld. In part because huge Pokemon wouldn't be feasible but also because of the poly-count. It's not like the trainers' overworld isn't stylized as well. |
I hated it because Honchkrow didn't fly behind you, he walked.

I can't comment much on Amie since I've yet to try it, though it definitely does look like a fun feature, and I think it'd be a shame for it not to return considering how many people love it.
As for the Pokemon following you in the overworld, I'd love to see it return if they can make it work without being ridiculous. I can definitely see it being a bit tougher now that the movement grid is no longer limited to moving in 4 directions. But yeah, if it does return, it could be cool if they incorporated some kind of Amie quick-access with the Pokemon following you, or generally just expanded a bit on the interaction with the Pokemon. Also, it shouldn't be limited to the Pokemon that's in the top of your party. The Pokemon you want to follow you, shouldn't necessarily be the one you want out in battle first. But yeah, I'm all for the return of both features, so looking forward to how it turns out :D |
i'm not familiar with the overworld sprites since i didn't play hg/ss (But familiar with it from yellow cause pikachu is pretty awesome) olli brings up a good point of it being difficult cause movements aren't limited to 4 directions anymore. but then after looking on some vids of hg/ss it looked a bit weird to me D: idk. as much as i'd love to see my darling little lilligant follow me around, but i'm just not sure of it. D:
but yay for pokemon amie returning. i loved the minigames in that. <3 |
Pokemon following you was the best feature they ever added to the games. Sorry not sorry
|
This doesn't look like something they'll just bring back. I'd imagine it being the thing that would take WAY too much time to add, between making over world sprites for every Pokémon and then even thinking of stuff for them to say. Not to mention we've seen the trailer that doesn't show it. Considering that we have Pokémon-Amie I don't find it necessary.
|
If it does return, then it could be hidden from our eyes for now, maybe they have a feature where you can choose any Pokemon from your party not just the one in the first slot and have it walk with you when you open that little window where you can select it's stats, HM Move and such.
But, I highly doubt it returning. |
As much as I enjoyed the walking Pokemon in HG/SS, I doubt it will ever return. But I don't mind Pokemon Amie as that was my fave new feature of X/Y so it was good to see that get carried over to OR/AS.
|
It would be quite cool if ORAS were the games in which your Pokémon following you became an option.
In the latest trailer, I'm pretty sure you can see Pokémon roaming around in the overworld - note the Corsola in the background as the Player is Diving. I'm pretty sure I saw something like Beautifly in the trees in an earlier trailer. Admittedly, though, both of these examples seem to be just to set the scene, and not something the Player would be able to interact with. And even at that, it's fairly likely they'd announce something like the Pokémon following the Player as a returning feature. Considering the games are as close as they are (two months is pretty close), I sadly doubt we'll have the option. |
Seriously as awesome as this would be, I just can't see this happening. We've seen no indication or proof of this as of yet, none of the screenshots show Pokémon following the player either. ;(
|
I would love it had there been a way for them to incorporate both walking Pokémon and Amie together. My idea is to perhaps have your first member of your party follow around behind, just like usual, and once you click, you would be taken to Pokémon-Amie directly. Either that, or perhaps there could be a prompt to let you decide if you do wish to use the feature or not. If you select no, nothing will happen, and you'll continue doing whatever that you happen to be doing.
Is walking Pokémon going to make a return here, though? I don't know, it's kind of hard to say. They probably won't make it available here, I'm guessing; if they were planning to, then by now, it likely would have been revealed already. Wish this weren't the case, but sadly, it does seem to be. |

I would be very (but pleasantly) surprised if we got this in ORAS. HGSS is different from the 6th gen games - they'd need to make higher quality models for one to match what the overworld looks like now. Factor in that they'd have to make these for 700+ Pokemon, on top of all the forms out there... that's a lot of work.
This is certainly doable, but that's on top of a bunch of things like Secret Bases, Contests and stuff we haven't yet seen (like Battle Frontier). Amie is already quite extensive too, so I'd be surprised if this comes up. Plus there's the point already made above that it hasn't been seen in trailers as of yet. It's something they would like to show off, I bet. |
I would like if walking Pokémon was an option for players to use, and not hoisted upon you like in HG/SS.
