Many Pokémon fans have loved the idea of their favorite partner following them, free from their Pokéball, while they explore the region of the game. In the latest games, Pokémon Sun and Moon, we got to explore one of the most unique environments in the entire series, but we did so without the aid of our Pokémon until it was time to call them for battle or we called a rental Uber-mon to carry us around.
It is definitely something that I’ve missed since the remakes of Gold and Silver; HeartGold and SoulSilver really forced you to bond with whatever Pokémon was training and you could feel free of the restrictions of almost all other games that didn’t let you keep your favorite monster right by your side.
Just so happens that walking and running animations for all Pokémon on the over-world are already contained in Pokémon Sun & Moon, but will we ever see them?
Hypothetically: If a DLC patch was announced to allow you to have a Pokémon follow you around while walking, would it be worth money? And if so, how much?

Looking forward to your comments below!
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, I would.
SECONDED!
No please 🙁 Yes running Pokemon, No DLC 🙁
I hope they just save this for stars honestly.
hey i think it would be cool to have it be 1$ for 1 generation but to get all walking pokemon it would be 5$
While the animations for both running and walking are really cool, personally I can live without…So No I would not pay for DLC to enable this feature.
Also for the record personally I think the running and walking animations were intended for something other than the ‘walking’ with Pokemon feature.
yeah thats probably for just the pokemon game for switch. but is it coming in march?
TBH though, there is very very little chance of this happening. GF is very opposed to the idea of DLC.
Yes
No. It is clearly for Stars
Assuming That Star’s is another main series game and not virtually anything else.
What?
I mean the general assumption is that Stars is more or less going to be a third game to Sun and Moon, which in of itself is a bit questionable. At the same time these animations could be used for almost anything pokemon related. Spinoff games, Pokemon Statium-esk games, future features for pokemon go.
Heck and that’s even assuming that these animation’s weren’t a feature cut like how Skin-ship in Fire Emblem Fates almost was. I’m just being my openly skeptical self as to what Stars might be, rather then assuming a rumor from a source with a good record is confirmed fact.
Yaaas https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a08127b63ca6bd0c27921e086158498959251972869adf6d9202ae9c150e31c5.jpg
Awesome!!!!!! I’m half way there
99% ;P
Um HOW did you get 302 Pokemon, Marshadow isn’t available.
Are you sure about that.. 😉 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b89f613091b9d8b14449cb4c1fb3f57b35ce615c739356ecbc17e2edbd0a52d0.jpg
lololol nice hack
I actually completed the dex completely legitimately.
I just hacked in marshadow Cuz I wanted to use it.
You hacking quack
Thnx
*sigh*
LEMME PUT MY ARMS THROUGH THE F**KING SCREEN AND HUG IT!!!
Yeah, there’s gotta be something I’m missing here. Is it zygarde?
Such a hacker
Its not like all of them are. Only marshadow is. And I’m not going to be using marshadow in competitive either.
That’s reasonably fair. As long as your Transparent about it.
Just tell it’s ugly and I, Lusamine, shallots forgives you
Except it’s not, not in the slightest.
Still reasonable that Trump’s existence though.
Except it is given its something that only exist on his personal copy of the game and trying to use it online would result in him getting banned. If its for personal use, and its a pokemon that doesn’t count towards pokedex progress, its not really that bad.
Still, he got it illegally, thus he’s an illegall whipping cream.
its his copy tho
It’s an illegal pokemon either way. It doesn’t matter whether it’s going to be used online or not, it’s still an illegal pokemon.
I really don’t want to get into this, agree to disagree.
Probably for the best. I think we both know where we generally stand on this issue and their’s no point bickering around the point.
Agreed.
Shiny Pikipek.
What about it?
Shiny
I mean why did you tell me that? 😛
I just needed to explode a volcano you know. It has been over 2600 times since I did and others were able to in less than 100 tries.
congrats dude
i mean, if it was fairly cheap yeah why not?
Would you say Adamant is a good nature for Tapu Koko is it really only Timid?
Timid
I would like it I would love to have my Weavile back at my side
What happened it it?
You couldn’t have them walk next to you anymore
went for a naive type null, got it, went to check iv’s, got perfect speed, atk, and sp. atk! best first encounter i could have asked for
Nice! I hope I’m that lucky when I eventually get mine.
Honestly I can take it or leave it, I hate to be that guy but it’s purely athesic
Running through the overworld with Mudsdale or Excadrill. Just admit that you want it
I already ride Mudsdale and Excadrill’s sea lion body looks weird in 3D
Replace Excadrill with Rhyperior then
I rather they add more variants of Pokeride
Like I want to ride Aerodactyl as a Flight
Carracosta Surf
And maybe Claydol for Dousing (it spins faster and faster the closer you are)
Star is back and begging for trades!
Cottonee/Whimsicott/Braviary/Slowking/Fossil mons/Poliwag/Eeveelutions/Passimian
I’m also trying to evolve Graveler and Slowking so yee
Also trying to evolve Phantump
Hmm
I want your ugly, I want your Pokerus-diseased, I want your everything as long as they’re shiny!
– get the song reference? –
I want your intelligence
what
What =
What
handsomely
amazing
talent!
But like can you trade me anything or….
Wel, I dont’ know, but Polliwog is easy to catch.
Yeah but I’m lazy
I can give you all of these, but I just left my house and I don’t have my 3ds with me 🙁
Well you also hacked them all so
>hacked them all
>ok..
For Graveler, just go to the nearest Pkmn Centre by the haunted market, and get that guy to trade you a Graveler.
Slowking, go to WT.
Others, lemme see.
If you put anything decent up, you’ll get most Pokemon on the GTS
I put up Minior and got both Archen & Shieldon. Traded a Cottonee for Petilil (then just send your Pokemon on the stone path on Pelago, bound to get Sun Stones eventually)
Also you can trade a Zubat for Poliwhirl in the Konikoni City Pokecentre
Today’s Thursday! Please tell me where to get Togekiss.
Poni island!
But I keep getting demented Serperiors.
Any specific location?
Nope, just has to be Poni. Are you sure it shows up on thursday?
Someone told me it shows up Thursday.
Just checked. It’s Poni on tuesday.
Honestly this should’ve been the Malie Garden battle theme:

Quick poll
What would make a better Dousing Pokemon
A Claydol that floats above your head and has three speeds of spinning indicating a hidden item
Or
Beheeyem playing red light green light with its fingers
Beheeyem
Claydol sounds cool.
I can see the best Pokemon based off your feelings towards the types and your icon is…..
AZUMARIL!
Or….Primarina!
If you ain’t here to answer then go piss off
Ok ok just get a Hippowdon.
I like the Claydol idea.
Beheeyem makes more sense with what we’ve had in the past.
Who here’s name is GRIFFIN? I’d like a word with you about my Togekiss named Hershy with Future Sight, Air Slash, Aura Sphere, Extreme Speed, Serious, Hustle lvl 59.
yawn. good morning.
Hello based PJ

OMG I GOT A SHINY DHELMISE WITHOUT LOOKING WOOO! LET THE ANCHORS HIT MR KRABS!
Congrats! 😀
tysm! I was just about running out of room too.
How many eggs?
At least 3 boxes.
That’s not too bad honestly.
hey speaking of crabs… how do u get rid of them? asking for a friend
You need to just run away from them they run sideways too, or you can just cook em.
Still hate it with a passion
But congrats
Why?
It is an anchor that has no correlation to water or Steel types is Grass/Ghost when only Ghost makes sense there, Has an Ability that raises Steel moves when its not Steel type, and it’s ugly as sin to me
What a sinful comment!
It annoyed me for being another Ghost/Grass type in the same gen as a starter of that type
Hi guys, I’m hoping to fill a slot on my team, but I don’t know what Pokemon to get, any help. It’s for VGC 2017.
What is your team? I’m not the best at teambuilding but maybe I can help
Bulky Silvally (Water)
Fast Support Tapu Koko
Bulky Celesteela
Bulky Mudsdale
Fast Special Sweeper Raichu
Maybe a physical sweeper? Or a set-up?
any good recommendations?
Absol!!!!!!! but thats just personal reasons. Maybe Mimikyu?
Have you considered a trickroom setup?
That would benefit my Mudsdale greatly…
And Celesteela as well given it has 61 base speed. Run it with a hindering speed nature and it could work well. Then keep one of the faster boys in the back for when Trickroom wears off. Just be aware that Trickroom’s a pretty big gamble. your setup pretty much will always get doubled turn one so make sure you run something bulky. Generally people run Porygon 2, but I personally like Slobro myself a bit more.
Garchomp works pretty well as an offensive Fast Physical Sweeper, especially when you have Rough Skin and do what shofu did and added on a Firium Z with Fire Fang. It’s pretty unexpected and works. Just set up Swords Dance first and it’ll help you so much.
Or if you prefer to use a Gen 7 Mon, I’d recommend Alolan Sandslash with Focus Sash, Hail, Adamant, and Slush Rush. It’s very unexpected and throws off the opponent.
I finally got an account on Showdown if you want me look up Kurusu Legends
fite me m8
Ok let me relog on to it
Ready
Good match but I gotta go
I’m back sorry a Little family miracle happened
Maybe sometime soon I’ll battle you, I have an account but I’m very busy today
I would honestly be kind of pissed if they offered this as DLC. They said they only release complete games and that DLC will never be in the picture. This is something that should be included in game.
That is a really elitist view on DLC but whatever
It’s not that I’m against DLC…I’ve bought a good share of it, but they said they would never do it, so I expect them to be true to their word. I would probably buy it anyway though, although I definitely think they should avoid doing DLC at all costs. Pokemon games aren’t super huge on content, I think adding DLC would be bad for their brand. People might think they’re withholding content.
Well they also said they would always have gyms
Did they? I mean they basically kept them, but gave them a different name and made captain battles optional.
Paid DLC and changing the formula of a game to suit the environment and region is different.
I don’t think Pokemon games should ever have paid DLC, I mean they release enough games for that and paying should be for mobile/Eshop games only.
3rd games in the generation kinda count as DLC tbh
They actually never said that. Ever.
I need your help. What shiny should i try to hatch next?
a) Fomantis
b) Stufful
c) Grubbin
C!
Vikavolt’s shiny is awesome
Grubbin
Pretty rad Switch menu mock up

I don’t think I like this. It’s a little confusing. I’m not sure if it’s busy or if the screen is just oddly organized.
