Pokemon Why did Pokemon only follow the player in HG/SS?

[TheTPCProductionz]

I remember in BW2's trailer, it showed the male character you play as, and he is where you find Hugh's Liepard, and he has kangaskhan following hin.

Pics or it didn't happen.

It's in the games data, that you'd have them follow you. You can hack the game, so you can bring it back. They scrapped the idea, close to release.

I'm familiar with Pokémon hacks, but I've never herd of one where you get Pokémon in BW to follow you.

It isn't a hack it's in the game itself for B/W 2 it was supposed to be part of the game, but Nintendo scrapped it close to it's release. There is a way of getting into the game, not with Action replay or Gameshark but modding the actual game.

That's what I meant. I said I knew about all kinds of hacks AKA mods of the game, but I never herd of a way to get Pokémon to follow you.

 

[TheTPCProductionz]

Yeah, you can't do it for other games, but because it was already in the games DNA per say you can find a way.

Salamencetrainer34 said there was a trailer with a Kangaskhan following you and I don't remember that.

 

[TheTPCProductionz]

It may have not been the official trailer, maybe beta testing .

You're forgetting one part of BW2:

Spoiler

The mienfoo the lady has you "walk" in Humilau City

It would be nice if they implemented this in future games. I'm sure many Trainers love the sense of intimacy it brings.

Other than that, is there any other way to get a Pokémon to follow you?

 

[TheTPCProductionz]

I will try find the information out, but I definitely know through modding you can. Other than that, no you can't. It's not a simple procedure from what I have heard, you have to get into the game mechanics which very few can do. You'd have to find someone who can.

 

[Starboard Driger]

That's a question almost everyone has asked, yet nobody knows the answer to. My guess is that it was something they planned to do but never got around to doing.

Or it was just laziness. Either way, it sucks. (For the people who didn't want it, they could've just made it optional. :/)

This topic makes me go "..." for 2 different reasons lol

Firstly because gamefreak actually figured it was ok not to include this...like wtf, its not like it would have been work for them..even remotely!

But on the other hand... its not soooooo amazing either that it would justify the huge amount of QQ it gets. Its an overworld sprite...following your character...heh


But anyhow..perhaps its simply not canon in the pokemon universe to have a pokemon outside its ball all the time hence its only an option for nostalgia filler games like remakes.

I dont even understand why it was in hgs in the first place it should technically if ever been in firered and leafgreen since in yellow johto didnt exist thus making it a random feature to include in hgss.

I would like it if we had the option to let our Pokémon (one or more) follow us in the game, but not for it to be set as default. I would like to choose myself when they follow me. It's a nice feature, that I enjoy, but not all the time.
