5th Gen "Follow Me" Feature

[Cherrim]

Question, if what you're saying is true, why couldn't they just have a Pokemon follow that has already been revealed, like Zoroark, Zorua or any of the starters.

Or maybe even a Pokemon from a previous region.

Don't get me wrong, I WANT the feture in it, but I don't get why they haven't shown it yet. They showed it in the FIRST clip of Hg/Ss.

That's because it was a "major" new feature in HGSS. We knew the games were getting remade to match gen 4 so that wasn't "interesting". They wanted to show off something that was brand new and fascinating. But in BW, the brand new stuff is... everything else.

I don't think Pokémon will follow you in this game (although I will dearly miss the feature) since it hasn't been shown at all, even in rather trivial screenshots. Even if it was optional this time, I think they'd have shown one of the starters following or something in one of the promo screenshots when they were released. D:

I want Follow Me. It's great feature.

 

[Sage Harpuia]

I love that feature in HG/SS but I have the feeling that will not be here...
(maybe in the R/S remakes?)

 

[Mew~]

I don't really think they will bring it back since it wasn't shown in the trailers or screenshots...
Maybe an option to go into your party and select a pokemon to follow you!?

Could Pokemon still be following us?

Like many Pocket Monsters fans, I have been following the news for Black and White ever since they announced Zoroark. Seeing the latest leaked scans from CoroCoro, I was really delighted to see that they showed us how to obtain Zoroark's pre-evolution, Zorua. I noticed in one of the screenshots that Celebi was standing right next to the main character. Is it possible that Pokemon will still be following us around or could it just be for that event?

Here is a link to the scan for reference. If this is the case, I'm rather excited about having a Tsutaja follow me around.

Thoughts?

why wouldn't they follow us. i loved it!
but i wish you could train it by walking with it. 1 exp for 1 step.

 

[Death_Mande]

Yeah it could be Plausible. I don't think they'll want to remove that feature after they had it on HG/SS. It would really piss most of the fans off xD

I don't really mind if they don't though, since I got used to Pearl. It would make the game more enjoyable to play if they did though ^^

 

[Jerme]

if we could have an option to return them in the ball

 

[-Jared-]

I hope we get to let our pokemon out in Black and White. I don't want them to take that away...T__T

 

[Germaniac]

There should be an option, when we click our pokemon, there will be "Follow" option

 

[FieryGrave]

Yha, it would be stupid to take it out. It was an awesome feature that was entertaining. I think I saw it in a few screen shots too.

 

[Ryuu90]

I don't think, they will follow us, because in the screenshots there no pokémon that follow the trainer. The pic you found is an event... I think...
But I hope I am wrong ^^'

I think this is a definite answer to all the doubt we had about Pokemon following us in the new games. Why bother showing us those screenshots of Celebi and Zorua standing right beside the trainers if there's no such option? ;) Plus, it would have been odd to remove such a popular feature in the first place.

 

[MrsNorrington]

I'm going to be very disappointed if our Pokemon don't follow us. :(

If they don't follow us in B/W, maybe if they make a 3rd game that might be the "improvement" I won't let go of hope lol

I agree. That's why I found that screenshot interested. After all, I'm sure that was pretty tough work to sprite 493+ Pokemon for HG/SS. All they would have to do would be to edit them a bit for the new graphics in B/W and add whatever new Pokemon and voila! I would be pretty disappointed if we didn't have the option to have our Pokemon follow us. Somehow it made it feel more "real."

 

[jbs829]

i definitely would like that feature, but it is possible that it is optional in this game, which is why we havent seen it, and that would be amazing.

 

[blue]

Yeah, I noticed this on serebii 'Zoura & Celebi in a pokemon center' so that made me think it could be still there.

 

[Kieran]

I would sooo sue them if it's not included. :P

I think the feature is cool, going back to my Diamond and Platinum from my Soulsilver always leave me awkward, I even goes: "Hey where's the Pokemon! Oh I'm not on SS." XD

 

[Hamilton]

well i'm guessing if pokemon will follow us, it will be showed in pokemon sunday today or next week

 

[kinu]

i dont think the will
1 the vidio of the guy walking in the citie had no pokemon
2 non of the pictures have pokemon following
3 for the celibii and zora u need an event celibii to get zoara
though i could be wrong cause it would be cool to have more giant pokemon following you
