Will we ever see a return of the pokemon follow feature?

I would definitely love to see a return of the follow feature in any future games.. I loved it in Generation IV by getting to interact with your Pokémon and picking up the occasional item as well, and I was really upset when that feature disappeared in Gen V.
 
With the number of Pokemon there are now I would understand if they didn't want to bring it back, but I would love it if they did. It was one of those little things that helped you get immersed in the games, kind of like how in X & Y we can customize our trainers. Anything like that which gives you a little more control over what you're looking at as you play through the game is great because it helps break up the monotony.

I'm not gonna hold my breath for its return. I can just hope they give us something new and just as interesting.
 
It was a really fun and neat feature, and certainly something I would love to see return. I don't expect it to come anytime soon, sadly, but it occurring for all Pokemon was a great surprise in HGSS.
 
It has been one of my favorite features in any of the games. I was pretty disappointed it wasn't in X and Y, but I didn't figure it would have been.

Maybe it will come back again! I hope so!
 
I've seen a lot of people talk about the size of certain Pokemon being an issue. It's not as big of an issue as you might would think. It's not like they would have the Pokemon stay true to size. They would stylize them, just like they did for Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

The issue is, that it would require at least one additional model for nearly every single Pokemon. So that would eat up a lot of the budget. They would also have to forgo most of the fancy camera angles because there would be a big risk of the Pokemon overworld model getting in the way. I could definitely see the walking cycles being a challenge as well.

I wouldn't say that we'll never see the feature return but I don't think it will be any time soon.
