With the Follow-Me mechanic being really popular, what if GF actually went one step further in including your Pokemon team in important cutscenes. Let's say there's a member of the respective evil organisation who threatens someone and as you get closer to the scene, one of your Pokemon tries to help, too, by running between them. They could even try to make different reactions depending on the Pokemon's Nature. Like an Adamant Pokemon would rush against the Grunt, while a Gentle one wants to solve it peacefully.

Would you like something like this being implemented in one of the games?

Sure, but the programmers and animators would hate your guts.


721 Pokémon to date. That's bad enough.


Include the Nature thing- of which there are 25- and that's 18025 different possibilities. Double that if you want to include Shinies.

I agree with above; it would definitely take some time and effort to implement, considering the amount of Pokémon we have now and whatnot.

It's definitely possible, however, and personally, I would enjoy seeing such a thing (so would many others, surely)! Things like this happen in anime--when trainer's in trouble, his or her Pokémon gets out of their ball to attempt lending a hand--and if they could be carried over to games, experience, in general, would be a lot more enjoyable overall.

I like the idea of increasing the Pokemon-Trainer interaction depending on alternative factors. However, no, the ones mentioned are a little bit too much for a game like Pokémon... at least from my point of view.

As I am a robot, I am incapable of dreaming, but... how shall I put it? I have very much longed to

I think it's an incredible idea, but the execution of it would be insane to bring forward. It could be done I'm sure, but it would take a whole lot of work which may be better suited putting into other features. At least I think that's how Game Freak would see it.

I could see this working for pokemon z because they already have the design of the region and a somewhat similar plot and plan. There is extra time for that. They are also adding less pokemon, so it's doable for each gen. Don't forget that they made new sprites (or animations- whatever) for gen 6.

They've had walking-Pokémon feature in HeartGold and SoulSilver, so I believe they might be able to carry over the same formula for things such as this. Though, it likely won't be as easy, considering that we have much, more Pokémon in generation six than four, including all mega-evolutions and whatnot. Plus, if they're planning on including attack over-world animations, could take even more effort.

I don't about this.

I think we'll be lucky if we even get the follow me feature back. Maybe some day we'll be able to surf/dive/fly on any pokemon in the over world and not just Lapras, Wailmer and the Latis.

I figure their time would be better spent on that. Think about it, even when the main story ends you'll still be surfing, diving and flying. It makes more sense for that to be a priority over what you suggested.
