[Other] pokemon follow me impossible?

[WAFFAHOUSE]

I've done extensive research on this and can't seem to find any answers anywhere.... Basically I'm tryin to find out if it's even possible to make a pokemon follow you like in pokemon yellow where pikachu follows.... I really loved that feature and I want to incorporate it into my rom hack. Please let me know if this is at all possible whether it's a sprite hack or script or what...
Thanks

I know it's a script, and even the most awesomest scripters don't know how to do that,and someone that can do that is a "god of scripting."

It's not scripting, it's ASM (and a really hard part of ASM too)

So basically it is impossible? I mean, how could it be In pokemon yellow then? We can't just copy the script of pikachu in that rom and apply similar scripting in newer roms? Maybe a dumb question but is strictly out of curiosity ....

Another dumb question... What's ASM? I'm new to hacking and I have plenty more "dumb" questions to ask lol
Thanks for the reply

well, it isn't impossible, but it's not as simple as just 'copy and pasting'. it's impossible for people who don't have asm knowledge (like me and you) but not for an asm hacker.

Maybe one of you ASM hackers out there could shed some light on this?

It is possible, just not an easy task, it would definitely require an extensive knowledge of ASM, and a lot of research.

It has been researched before and the people who have looked into it have come pretty close to it but it will take some time to before we can actually get a Follow me

It's not developed yet, but very close. There's a thread for it in Research and Development. Shiny Quagsire looks to be the guy who will finally figure it out.

He will probably make it user friendly.
Just so you know, you made me want to attempt this now, so who knows, maybe I can make a demo like thing sometime, might not be pretty. ;-;

ASM, or assembly language, is the machine code used by the GBA; basically, everything that happens in the game is ASM. You can manually edit it or compile C code to assembly.

And yeah, Shiny's working on it.
