Pokemon following the trainer

Does this have any impact on anyone? There really isn't any reason why there should be the pokemon walking behind a trainer throughout the entire game. In a way, it took away the originality from pokemon yellow. It was more special when there was only one pokemon in the whole game that you could interact with. Any opinions on the matter?

it's very nostalgic... makes me really want to borrow my friend's GBA and play yellow... i think that having your pokes following makes the game a lot more heart warming and memorable :3

That is true! Though not when this huge ferocious bearlike thing is following you... haha

i got an arceus follow me but when i go into any building he is to big lol
i dont mind having them following me

I don't mind either. It's actually good to raise friendship when out of the pokeball.

I like the idea with cute pokemon like Pikachu, but I'm not so fond of having a giant Groudon or fat Snorlax running around chasing you. I like the idea, but I wish there were an option to put the pokemon in it's ball instead.

Yeah, that would be a good option. With some pokemon it just doesn't work.

I think it makes the game for exciting and fun to play

I like the idea of walking with your pokes. It's awesome!

I actually enjoy the stalkers.
It starts a bond with my pokemon everytime I 'talk' to it.
It looks cool to have a pokemon following you.
Its the first game i played that allowed you to walk with it

I've always enjoyed it, how lonely it must get to walk the grounds of Kanto all by yourself!

I personally like that they added this. In the old pokemon yellow I liked pilachu doing this and now it's even cooler with any pokemon able to follow you.

i like it sometimes but other times it feels like their weighing me down

I like the fact that pokemon can follow you. It's like having your own personal bodyguard. Lol.

I think it'd be pretty awesome if you had to develop a friendship level with a pokemon before it could follow you, or atleast have the option to hide the pokemon.

having a poke following u is cool for me...but when i dont like the one following me...i just use my bike to put it back to its pokeball...lol

As I got farther into the game I used the bike to get around most of the time, so my pokemon was put away for the most part.

it had a big impact on me when i first found out that you could walk with your pokemon, but now that my pokemon have been following me for about 2 months i dont really care anymore

I always have my handy dandy Magnezone with me

i enjoy walking with my (legit) mewtwo. it adds something fun too the game. plus you can now get shining leafs, which i enjoy.

I guess that's where they got the idea for the pokewalker maybe or other way around

I like them following me cos of some items they give you.

Have Groudon follow you around. It's freakin' hilarious.

i love the way some pokemon follow you but fat pokemon like snorlax shouldnt even follow you but ho-oh folowing is beastly

I like it that your Pokemon follow you around. It might have been better if you could choose to put them in their pokeball if you don't want something like a Snorlax running around following you (although I would just find that funny), but I think it's fine how it is. It helps you make more of a connection with your Pokemon, and I just like seeing them follow you around.
