4th Gen The 'Pokemon Following You' Discussion Thread

*~Pikachu~* said:
No, I just like Pikachu. Ever since I saw that CUTE face in 97.... I just loved it. <3

I did the same thing. xD

Pikachu is still my favorite Pokemon, even though I'm definitely not an Ash-wannabe. :/ I barely even like the character anymore. Still, I would love to have Pikachu follow me around again. The only reason why it wouldn't follow me the whole time, is because we already got that chance once in Yellow.. So I'd like to have the chance to have some other Pokemon follow me. >.>

I never got to get yellow.. ;(
Can't buy it on Ebay...

So I am going to get my Pikachu from D and put it on P then put it on HG... THEN walk it :3

(Wow that's a lot of work xP)
 
I've been wondering-- will shiny overworlds look different? Like if you have a shiny Cyndaquil, will it look shiny when it's following you? =0

I thought that might be too much to program in, but heck, I still can't believe you can walk every pokemon to begin with. Pikachu-colored Pichu shows up, but that might be because it's a unique event.

I dunno, but that would be majorly cool. xD
 
I'll have Porygon follow me around 24/7! This little guy will be my Pikachu for HG/SS!
 
I don't like the idea of all 493 following. Just looks at the Sinnoh Legends; these things are literally gods. Having them walk around town is just unrealistic. I also don't like how the system works, where the first Pokemon in your party is the one they gets sent out. What if I'm training a certain ugly Pokemon and therefore have to put it first in my party? I'd much rather have it so that whenever we check out party we can choose which Pokemon we want to have walk with us.

I have a theory...

Since Pokemon follow you now, maybe the ones that know surf will pull the trainer when surfing.

This is what was being discussed in the Speculation Sticky before. Some think that the surfing sprite might be the same pre-set image. However, some think that with the new OW sprites for all 493 Pokémon being available, we may have their surfing sprites out as well. I don't know exactly how it may work, but if they do implement this idea into the game, then I would think it is about time. I always would have enjoyed seeing something like this, but we'll see what happens from here. If not in this generation of games, then maybe the next.

Put it this way, if we only had a selected few Pokémon able to follow us, then there would be an uproar in complaints. Some would not like the chosen Pokémon to be used to follow and others would then there are those who would complain...just because. Anyway, it is best to keep it at all, as it's a basic plus to the game and fans who want their favorites to follow them. However, some hope for it to be optional, so we'll see how that turns out later on.

Now as for size, most likely, they'll fit in each one to one tile. This way it keeps space in the game and makes it easier to move around. Not to mention, we've seen a large Pokémon [Steelix] in its OW sprite following Gold already. By the looks of it, things seem pretty well taken care of for the larger sized Pokémon. To comment on choosing which Pokémon to follow in your roster, keeping the first in line out is basically the easiest to format in the game. It also makes a lot more sense as it'll be the first Pokémon sent out to battle too. As for your ugly trained Pokémon, I guess this is where the optional feature may come in handy [if available].
 
here are my thoughts:

I think Rotom's Mow form should be in front of you... just sayin'

I wonder if Diglet will be underground most of the time and just poke it's head up out of the ground every few steps.

will Muk leave a slime trail behind it?

I think I said this earlier, but will ditto transform into the last pokémon encountered? or even into the player character. (in the anime, ditto can transform into more than just pokémon.)

I'm probably gonna have my Charizard follow me, it was the evolution of my first pokémon ever.

If I could have any pokemon it would be ....
Giratina = now those Rocket grunts wont mess with me X.X
Charazard = just awesomeness
Deoxys = 'Dude you have an alien following you'
Lucario = I have aura what now
finaly,
Rampados = dinosuar pet :)
 
I would have something massive following me like a rhyperior or a legendary, i just think that'd be pretty cool.
 
I'd have my trusty Latias by my side.

And maybe I'd get a red suit and a red fedora, and I'd look so awsome. :O
​
 
My Squirtle or Wartortle. I <3 those little turtles. (I dislike Blastoise though...)

I just went to Serebii and saw that they found info that you will be able to have ALL pokemon follow you, instead of just your starter. What do you guys thinks about that? And what pokemon would you have follow you? I'd have my trusty Umbreon following me :D

And what would it look like if a legendary could follow you o.O

By all i meant any pokemon lol, not ALL of em. (that'd be.........silly XD)

Ooooh, either Sudowoodo or Flygon or Glaceon or Cloyster...Heck, all four of them if I could. :D
 
I absolutely love this feature I'm just wondering if you will be able to have times when nothing is following you....? Maybe an option to put it back in it's pokeball?

This idea has been brought up before, the thing is no information has been brought up about whether the "Following Partner" feature would be optional or not. It'll be nice because I know not everyone would enjoy having something follow them at all times. Though, I would expect it not to be shown at certain times such as when riding our bikes or surfing on water. It seems unlikely for them to follow us at these times for screen space issues, but you never know if GameFreak could figure out away around it.
 
Heheh it would be really funny if you pulled the pokemon along when you were on a bike :P hahah lol ((That'll never happen though)) And it would look really screwed up
 
I'd love to see Pokémon that aren't "cute" following me, like Giratina.
