It is interesting. The way I see it there are a number of ways the can go with it.

- Every Pokemon can follow you if they lead the party. This would potentially be awesome, but would be a fair bit of work to implement, and may have some problems. Then there's the fact that walking around with legendary Pokemon would be odd as heck (if not amusing), and for Pokemon such as, say, Bellsprout, that are planted in the ground, or various fish Pokemon... yeah, I'm uncertain on this.

- GS starters will follow you in their multiple forms as well, whenever you want/have them in your party. More likely, this, I fell - can't be hard to implement another 6 moving sprites just for this. Even if they become as big as you size-wise. XD

- The only follow you for a short itme - say, until you return the egg Mr Pokemon gives you. This one here is one I like less... it would restrict them to those 1st-evolved forms though on the face of it.
Yet that is not fool-proof- one could always level up their Pokemon enough to evolve it - and then what? Hmm...that also seems iffy.

Could be any of these, but some seem more likely than others to me. We will have to wait and see though (for instance, maybe in later pics we cann see if they are still around? That may merely mean though that possible you could toggle this feature on and off).
 
Pokemon following you? Oh, dear God, no. The ROM's gonna be huge now ;;
I like the graphics, though. I've been waiting for a GS remake for so long, and now it's here. I hope I'm getting what I pay for, though. It's gonna be heartbreaking if we find that we waited a year to find a crappy waste of money at EB Games.

what about hoenn and the legendaries there of? given that they could just be traded from D/P/Pt but its still a needed function in case you havent sent your pokemon to your other game so you would either have to have two DS handhelds or trade globally with everyone I'm not saying its of utter importance given that this would stimulate GTS trading further though the time machine isn't needed either

You brought something up, actually. See, when trading between Fr/Lg and R/S/E, we had to do a whole lot of annoying missions to trade between them with ease. I suspect we're gonna have to do the same in Hg/Ss. Presumably, the mission will involve the Sevii Islands. Speaking of those islands, does anyone think that they will be included in the new games?

Evolved Pokemon following you > More Sprites > Huge ROM > Longer time before release. I think they should scrap the idea of Pokemon following you, mainly because of ROM-size issues.

I love how that guy if the video just freaks out. :P
Uh, that won't effect rom size very much.... people hack platinum, right? and there's a little something called pal park in that...
and yes on the reporter.
 
Oh, and thanks to another poster pointing this out - appears that to the right of the Lab there are some plue air vents sticking out of the ground there? Akin to those in Sinnoh which had to do with the Underground?

Maybe the mission in these games will simply be to beat the Kanto region. That wasn't such a hard feat in the past, so I hope they up the difficulty there.
 
I'm hoping that you can toggle the following Pokemon feature on and off. And water only pokemon like Remoraid can only follow you in when surfing.

Also, am I the only person who went "WTF?" after the first gameplay video when everyone fell down due to it ending quickly? "OVER-THE-TOP ANIME REACTION!!!!!", much? Even if they are actors for a kids show, that's really overdoing it.

Yeah - fish-like Pokemon, or stuff like Bellsprout would just be odd in following you...

And yeah, the video was odd. XD All of them did some odd stuff there - I guess they just like overdoing stuff there. Either that or they liked GSC even more than me. XD
 
pogkfdgv;dfkglfd;ldgsf;!!

Yessss. I can't wait. xD I hope Typhlosion can follow you.

&&I wish they showed the female player character.
 
I think they're going to just have it so the starter can follow you in the game, kinda like how you went through the amity square place, there was only a couple of types of pokemon that could follow you

I just formed at the mouth. This looks SOOO epic. You won't believe have much of an impact this game would leave once it's released!
 
I posted this in the Speculation Thread but,

I got so much hype for the starter following you. Im guessing it will only be in towns and cities as it might get annoyed having it follow you everywhere

So we have so far a second floor for elms lab a possible underground and silver still plotting to steal his starter. Also man the game looks great. I knew it was going to have some superiority to Pt but this is just too much.
 
I know we've basically only seen one screen, but judging by how awesome the originals were, as well as how amazing everything in this image is, I officially declare SoulSilver to be the greatest Pokemon game of all time.
 
This is effing awesome and it will be great having my Quilava following me!
 
Mhh I dunno but I doubt that the starter will follow you once it's evolved xD I guess I will try it out and if it is so, I might never evolve it before I did not make an egg of it^^. But maybe it only follows you until you've delivered the Mystery Egg.

But the new arrangement of New Bark Towns' music is very neat. Can't wait to play this^^

In Platinum in the Amity Square the evolved forms of the starter Pokemon followed you so I think they can do it in HGSS.

Nah I doubt it. But yeah this is really cool news. I wonder what Feraligatr would look like outside of its ball.
