>only a handful of games have following Pokémon>it wasn't until the newer games that towns/cities started having more than just a couple visible mons in the overworld>the amie/refresh/camp animations aren't used in battles and therefore over 50% of the animations are never seen by the player for no good reasonImagine if picrel was the sleep condition's animation instead of just having the mon standing with its eyes closed.
