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!
Yeah sure whatever. I can’t imagine dlc from GameFreak would be all that expensive so it wouldn’t be much of a problem. I’d pay for dlc in general given the right game and content so sure. I already pay the $5 a year for Bank so another $5 more wouldn’t…..break the bank……Ugh…sorry….ANYWAY yeah sure dlc is fine. People like to complain about dlc, but if games didn’t have it people would complain just as much.Sometimes developers just don’t have the time or resources to do extra stuff. Sometimes even they have ideas after the games come out. So when people complain about dlc meaning they’re withholding stuff it’s kind of dumb. That may be the case sometimes, but not every time. lol
I’d walk my Marshadow
After a pain staking 2 and a half hours, I finally have a Syncronzier for all 25 natures. Tbh I got a Timid Inner Focus Abra so stuck an Everstone on it and got my Timid Sync from that.
I had 3 eggs leftover from the Alakazam I had in there, the last of the three was Quirky, the actual last nature I needed (lucky I know)!
Yay! I now have 4 shiny Alolan Pokemon! 3 of them I raised myself and 1 from a giveaway!
Which?
Shiny Primarina (not my original one, I hatched it)
Shiny Mareanie/Toxapex
Shiny Dhelmise
Shiny Mimikyu
Which was the giveaway?
Someone on a social media thingy.
Probably duped
IDC
If you say so
Just want my shines
Ok
Fights a mono fighting team
Leads Pheromosa vs my Comfey
Easy win
First turn ice beam freeze
Does not thaw out and dies after multiple attacks
That sucks, I really don’t like it when people use Pheromosa, it’s very overused.
BRW, I do have a quick question about Comfey: what’s the set you usually use? I’ve been having a hard time making one for it.
I would love to see this feature again.. but not as a DLC though. Game Freak hasn’t done a DLC in the past, so it’s not likely for it to happen. Yet I’m pretty adamant that this will be in Stars.
the first game i played was heart gold, i would love to see that return.
My first was Soul Silver 😀
almost the same thing.
My first Played was Sapphire but first owned was Diamond
hmmmmm work on that game prototype or play Paper Mario….. hmmmmmmmmmmmm
also I’m really warming up to Comfey
You should! It’s amazing!
Except on Showdown how I can’t win with it
I’m god with it
Work on the game!
Paper Mario do NOT abandon it
I’m not abandoning it for sure. I will try to get pretty far before Christmas
I want up you at least to have 3 Star Spirits by the end of December
Already got my first one. I loved the Koopa boss
Agreed the Koopa Bros. Fortress is one of my more favorable levels
Hey Ithsme! Question!
Answer!
XD
Well, you gonna have an elite 4?
For the jungle league? No, because we thought that having 12 (potentially 13) trainers would be a little too large, because we need to have some people as challengers (I know that’s a dumb reason, but there aren’t a huge amount of battlers here, so we thought it would be best to have more challengers).
Ah, I see
Looking forward to your challenge, though!
ok!
I have a good idea how about every time a Champion is overthrown they become an Elite 4 member and once there are 4 then you must challenge them before the Champion
Alolan Sandslash is literally my favorite Pokemon to use on Showdown. Use that Focus Sash to survive hits, set up hail, and then proceed to decimate half the opponent’s team. It’s pretty much the same as a regular Sandslash with Sand Rush, but I still love using it.
In the spirit of these season I will play one of the best Christmas inspired Videogame music out there

My favorite ^.^

Awesome video, thanks for sharing that.
OMG I forgot about this shiny, woot! I have 5 shines! One more and I can make a team.
Question is it possible to get on Mt. Lanakila before getting to E4 cause I really want a Sneasel for my team, but it only appears on that Mt.?
Nope, not until late in the game.
Damn I guess I’ll just wait till then and catch it before the E4 at least it gives me time to catch Kommo-o for a Razor Claw
You CAN get one before the E4, then leave, train it up, evolve it, abandon a precious Pokemon, kiss it, then voila!
Yer gonna have to ask for an egg/trade…
Urgh….Mismagius only gets Nasty Plot via Egg Move, and only from Spiritomb
Why don’t they just hurry and make it a TM already?
Here are some TMs/brand new moves spoiled in the leaks:
1 – Magma Spit – Fire – 80D/100A
2 – Garbagripe – Poison – 200D/20A
3 – Arrow Whack – Flying – 50D/100A
4 – Boogie Bash – Fairy – 90D/100A
5 – Duskdrill – Dark – 70D/90A
I’ll put that in my 5th move slot!
I’ll teach it to my Gigareki.
What do you mean spoiled in the leaks?
Meaning they themselves spoiled KUZ THEYRE AWFUL
1 Not bad secondary effect is it has a 30% to burn OH WAIT THATS LAVA PLUME
2 worst name ever and lower that damage
3 Instead of that make a multi hitter called Quill Flurry
4 even worse than 3 maybe some kinda Glimmer Rush
5 ehh what does that even mean, I have this 120 Dam Dark move called Blindside where it strikes within 2-5 turns but is totally randomized
Fine here are some other ideas;
6: Light Bomb – Electric – 60D/100A
7: Katana Jab – Steel – 80D/95A
8: Type Wheel – Normal – 50D/100A
9: Monsoon Blast – Water – 85D/95A
10: Whiscrash – Ground – 120D/85A
What are these trash names?
HEY! I made them up.
tea!
defog and SR for tms!
Freeze then sweep. #FreezeHacks

i finished the dex!! didnt catch legends. had them traded to me. i need to decide on natures depending on my teams etc. also the beast ball cheat lol. as for the article. No. sorry i dont care for my pokemon walking beside me. its enjoyable sure but to pay for it? why?
Congrats! I finished yesterday and finally got the shiny pikipek as a reward!
I thought a little bit about this and I’m considering that it’s data to be used in the upcoming Diamond and Pearl remakes. They did introduce walking Pokemon in those games in Amity Square, after all. It wouldn’t surprise me if they took it a step further in the remakes. Consider how Mega Latios and Latias were in XY code.
Or stars, which seems to be coming first.
I thought about that too, but it doesn’t really add up to me. I don’t think it would make much sense to add walking Pokemon in Alola randomly in the sequel/ultimate version/whatever. It would be exactly like adding walking Pokemon in Platinum instead of HGSS. It’s actually the exact same pattern of new generation, ultimate version and remake.
That’s true. Either one would be fine for me, I have a high suspicion that they aren’t for what we think.
It would make sense if the reason the feature was cut is because it made the overworld lag too much. If Stars is on the Switch, which is what the rumor suggests, then it should be powerful enough to support this feature.
Took a step further, funny

.o.
such higher quality
I just noticed Bill’s tongue on the left.
I was just thinking that! lol
I never noticed Trinen making that weird thing with his tongue……ugh…. hahaha
Ok bubble idea kinda sucks… what about a game where you play as the inn keeper/pokemon center lady/ person who heals the protagonist of an RPG’s party?
oops didn’t finish
but you are secretly the villain they are fighting against
That’s a pretty cool idea. I didn’t really know where you were going with the bubble idea, there’s not much you can really do with bubbles.
If anything has taught me everything
Being a NPC is the worst
-you are genuinely useless
-protagonists walk all over you
-You say the same thing over and over
-Protagonist only talk to you only once or twice
-you have a home but you have nothing
-You are cold soulless and heavily programed
I’d kill myself
.-.
I still remember my idea about a young Druid girl who uses magic talismans to perform over world abilities and attacks
-Bear move heavy objects
-Monkey Jump Higher and Climb
-Wolf run very fast
-Mouse Shrinks down to fit in small holes
-Hawk Glide
Nope, not even a good npc
We’re a couple hours away from being exactly 3 weeks away from Switchmageddon. How are you preparing yourself and your loved ones?
Already have a bunker within a bunker ready! 😀
I’m so happy it’s at 8PM for me because I’ll have time to finish my work beforehand and then become totally absorbed and have my mind blown. I also have a math test that I’ll probably bomb on that day, so it will get my mind off of that as well…
:O
I really hate how it’s on a thursday night.
Hate to be that guy, but does anyone have a spare king’s rock? That’s all I need to finish my first team, and I really really suck at the battle tree. I can’t get past a streak of three.
Get back in there
Yeah probably should. . .
*Stares you down*
I can give you one if you like.
No, the boy must fend for himself
Really? Thank you so much! Would you like a perfect komala, togepi, pichu, vulpix, or dewpider? Or I can offer breedjects of minior and cubone as well! 😀
I really don’t care. I’ve got a completed dex as is and I really don’t need anything. Really I’d be happy with a crap Zubat to save you the mons.
Are you sure? I have like 5 perfect komala. IGN?
Mori. You should still have me in there for the PJ league. let me just quickly buy one.
Take your time, no rush! 😀
alright ready to go.
Sent the reqest
Thank you so much, I really appriciate it! This helps a ton! 😀
No worries.
I’ll find you a King’s Rock if you got a Snow Warning Vulpix ???
It looks like MelloMori is giving me one, but I can still give you a SW vulpix! FC? 4785-4857-4656
0447-7438-9440
Could you walk me thru the steps of trading in Sun and Moon?
Sure, just gimme a minute or so. 🙂
Okay, thanks again! Once Pokébank comes out I’ll properly reward you ❤
Slowking or Politoed?
Just read this as a “Shrek of three”
shrek is love shrek is life
Hey Earthen, or anyone around. What items do you personally like to run on an Excadrill? Kinda working on a mono steel team for a doubles format, so generally I’m trying to avoid choice items.
Alright let’s see first off are you running support or sweeper
Mostly sweeper. Since it doubles in Mono steel, I can’t really run E-quake, so for a move pool I’m playing around with Drill run, Smart strike, Rockslide and protect.
Hmmmm that honestly the only thing you truly can do but maybe replace Protect with Rapid Spin since Excadrill is a solid rapid spinner
But its doubles which doesn’t really benefit hazards. Protect it pretty much a must have in doubles.
Well the do whatever
Because Excadrill is a extremely versatile Pokemon that can be a true nightmare with a Sandstorm at its back
Does anyone have a Snow Warning Vulpix or a Regenerator Mareanie? I’m offering… an adamant Mimikyu, an Eevee that has Wish, and any Moon exclusives… I know, it’s looking rough but I’d really appreciate it ❤
I can give you both!
Omg omg I’m dying
Bless you I knew I should come back to PJN
Haha I’ll add you in a minute!
I shall end your suffering
Et tu Auggy….Et tu
Lovely as ever, Ian.
Who are you? Well to formally introduce myself Hi I’m the Holiday Kurusu
Sure i would pay for it, but not 5 DOLLARS (mostly because I’m 12 and money is tight right now)!! And if it was 5 dollars, would it be all Pokemon or some specific Pokemon such as only gen 4 Pokemon or just grass types per payment. I would pay if it made is so that all Pokemon could follow me.
Five dollars is kinda crazy already for just one gen/type. If it were all Pokemon then sure?
