Following Pokemon EX

When I speak to the nurse at the pokemon center and say no to "would you like to rest your pokemon?", if the follower mon is on my right or left, it teleports to behind me
Is anybody else experiencing this? Or is it just me?

Does something similar happen to anyone? and how did they solve it? (Essentials V20.1)

- When you fly into the game from a save game if the follow was near water, it appears when it doesn't apply.
- When you enter the pause menu and leave and came from surfing, the sprite also appears

sorry for the link, im new and I still can't post them haha

I absolutely adore this plugin! I'm sorry that I'm asking this question so much later, but my only question for this plugin is if there is a way to disable switching the main Pokemon. To elaborate, I'm doing the Pikachu following from Pokemon Yellow. Obviously, that only has one Pokemon that can follow you. I had used NPC following dependencies prior to this plugin, but that had it's own glitches, like once unregistered, it would entirely disappear and etc. So I was wondering if there are any script changes I can make to the plugin so it can just be a Pikachu? Thanks so much! I know it takes so much effort to make these plugins and to have people ask you all stupid questions, but this is something I'm legitimately wondering!

Hey I love this plugin! But is there a way to disable the button to make the follower appear? Because in cutscenes I can still press the button, making the player stop and well, the entire cutscene gets ruined. How do I get around that?
Like, being able to disable the hotkey that makes the follower appear and dissapear while the player is in a Move Route, because if you're always able to press the hotkey, things can get very buggy

Edit: I found a way, in an Script command in an event I set "FollowingPkmn::TOGGLE_FOLLOWER_KEY = nil", and that works... is that the only way to do that? :(
Also, sometimes when I jump over a ledge, the camera get shifted once in the direction I jump, that's a bug right? This didn't happen to me in older versions.

Sorry to be a bother, but do you know where i can find the v20.1 Pokemon Amie script listed here? I've searched everywhere for it but I can't find it

Been trying to get this to work but for some reason it keep saying im missing a file which I cant find anywhere.
''Plugin Error:
Plugin 'Following Pokemon EX' requires plugin 'Battle Scripting EX' to work properly.''

Where can I find this battle scripting ex plugin, I've been looking everywhere

I'm aware that this plugin checks for a Pkmn's height, then if the map you're in has encounters or not, and based on this, decides to show or not follower.
So I'm outside, with a small Pkmn following me. I go in a house, the Pkmn follows me normally. I switch, put a tall Pkmn following me, and the follower disappears, as it should. Then I save the game, restart, and I get this error:

[Pokémon Essentials version 20.1]
[v20.1 Hotfixes 1.0.7]

Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `encounter_possible_here?' for nil:NilClass

I definitely have it defined:

def encounter_possible_here?
return true if $PokemonGlobal.surfing
terrain_tag = $game_map.terrain_tag($game_player.x, $game_player.y)
return false if terrain_tag.ice
return true if has_cave_encounters? # i.e. this map is a cave
return true if has_land_encounters? && terrain_tag.land_wild_encounters
return false
end

Line 91 of Overworld_WildEncounters.

And the line:

next false if (height / 10.0) > 3.0 && !$PokemonEncounters.encounter_possible_here?

in EventHandlers.add(:following_pkmn_appear, :height, proc { |pkmn|

is where the issue is, according to the error.
If I comment out #&& !$PokemonEncounters.encounter_possible_here? does completely "fix" the error for me. But this would mean that a tall follower could not be possible in caves in such, which isn't too bad.
I really don't see what the issue could be.
Is this just a me problem? Is it a glitch in the matrix?

There is a problem that is also reflected in your presentation. when entering the battle interface, the animation of the player throwing the ball disappears.

The Plugin has been updated to v2.2.3. Here's the changelog.

• Fixed player sprite appearing on top of Following Pokemon sprite.
• Fixed possibility of crash with one of the default "Music" emote dialogues.
• Fixed "Heart" emote dialogues never playing.
• Fixed "HideFollowingPkmn" map flag not doing anything.
• Fixed crash in "Height-based" disappearing when loading onto an indoor map with encounters.
• Fixed being able to talk to your Following Pokemon when in a move route, or while using an HM.
• Fixed Animation issue with surfing and bike riding.
• Fixed the ability to get out-of-bounds using the Following Pokemon HM Animation.
• Fixed Following Pokemon moving slowly when using Marin's Enhanced Stairs.
• Fixed Following Pokemon not refreshing after depositing first pokemon into box after battle/daycare.
• Made "Surfing" disappear conditions more specific to prevent Following Pokemon from going out of bounds.

Hi I'm Working on Pokemon Classics, and I'm wondering if this plugin works for version 21

Hey, this plugin has a weird issue on ver 21, when i walk to the next map the follower stops for like half a second then teleports back behind me.
hope u reply so I can screen record these things, tested it on a whole fresh essentials with only the hotfix v21 and the follower plugin.


Also another issue it seems like rock climb ex plugin kinda makes the follower's movements not smooth. (not related to the other issue)

How to set up Following Pokemon EX i get Hotfixes 21 Pokémon Essentials version 21

There seem to be some compatibility issues with Marin's Enhanced Staircases, as shown in the GIF below. I tried it with stairs facing the other direction and the same issue persisted. I also tried it without the tree near the bottom of the stairs.

It seems to have to do with the passability of the sides of the stairs, specifically the passability of the tile directly in front of the player. Normally, they're set up like the image below, and this setup results in the error mentioned above. If I set those impassable tiles to passable, however, the follower behaves as expected, but having the player be able to walk on those tiles isn't ideal.

I tried to gather as much information as possible, let me know if you need any more information or can't replicate the same error if you try to recreate it yourself.

of benbj2009 kallisto Do you still have the script for it? I'm going to ask to friend to try and update it for us.

Hi, im having an issue with the graphics and i didn't read nothing about them in this post, so if someone can help im adding the OW's to the characters file withe the dex number but when the script is executed the following pokemon has no graphic.

Hey I'm having some issues with this, for some reason the pokemon following get stuck over ledges or wander in the wrong direction and leads to the game hanging when going through doors. What could be causing that?
