Pokemon following you

[The Outrage]

I don't want it to be the first Pokemon in the party. What's so hard about creating an extra option in the Party Menu that says "follow"

Why if I want to battle with one Pokemon but have another one follow me?

Yeah, an extra sprite on the screen would totally suck all the joy out of the game.

Not like everyone wants to be forced having their Pokemon follow them. You should be given the option since these Pokemon don't suffer from 'Pikachu' syndrome.

 

[Martonimos]

I don't see why they'd force it on you. It's quite likely they'll have an option to keep it in or let it out. I just think it would be cool going around with around 200 pounds of Meganium to back me up. Or, failing that, Giratina's cool too.

I will admit, it will look funny when I am training my magikarp into a gyrados prior to the second badge. Oh well, I'll get over it.

If it bothers you that much, switch out right before a battle.

 

[Mooites]

Do you think theres a way to not have one follow you? Just wondering.

And what about using HMs? Like surf and rock climb? Will you have to return the Pokemon or something?

Does it really bother you guys so much to have a pokemon follow you?

It won't bother me if it follows me or not. But it is nice they do get to follow you but it's also nice if you get tired of it to have an option not to have them follow you.

 

[Candy Christina]

I think it would be weird if they didn't have the option of getting rid of it but I don't really care one way or the other. I actually quite like this addition, seeing as I didn't get to play Yellow, this'll be fairly new to me at least.

 

[Mooites]

I never said it bothered me, please stop trying to attack everyone. Its annoying.

Anyway, does anyone know? Because I was just wondering.

 

[Gary Dos]

There'll probably be a follow thing in the Options menu, Mooites. I'd be surprised if not, since you can switch off battle animations. Another assumption of mine: if there's an egg in your party, your second pokemon will follow.

No need to be defensive. I'm not attacking. I'm just curios as to why people seem to want to turn off a feature like this. It's cool. It's something a lot of fans loved about pokemon yellow. It's why I bought pokemon yellow.

I think its cool too. And I deffinitely want to try it out! But I just want to make clear that Im not saying I dislike it just because I have some questions about how it'll work out.

Cool

 

[Falconwing]

Okay, well I'm glad we got that cleared up.

If we can turn it off, it'll probably be in options like with battle animations.

 

[Luxio]

How are pokemon like luvdisc or goldeen supposed to follow you, they're fish. Are they going to float?

Have you never played Pokemon Stadium?

Or SSBB for that matter?

 

[Falconwing]

Or how about mystery dungeon which reminds me a lot of this new feature?

 

[Noah-24]

I think that maybe a good thing about this is that since all the Pokemon will have overworld sprites and stuff because in G/S/C Day-Care you are able to see your Pokemon while they are in their and now that they all have their own overworld sprite they can still do that now right?

 

[Gary Dos]

I never played Yellow, but does your Pikachu ever get in the way? I mean, if your Pikachu is behind you, and you turn around and walk south, will Pikachu act as an obstacle, or just it switch places with you?

 

[Falconwing]

It switches. Never was a problem.

 

[Gary Dos]

Okay, thanks. Is there any video of the following animation, and does it look weird in 3D? I guess the answer would be no, else GF wouldn't do it, but is there video anywhere?

It also lets GameFreak use any Pokemon in the storyline or background art, instead of falling back on Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and more Pikachu like they usually did.

May seem a little useless, but I guess it means all 493 Pokedolls for your bedroom.
