>>33886608Strawpoll lacks any nuance.
Do I want following Pokemon as a feature? Hell yeah. Do I think it would be good to implement? No, assuming it takes large amounts of development time and in the end serves no purpose.
I would rather have many more improvements, like the IV checking and battle interface in SM; rather than a single big feature. If anything, a robust batle facility makes for a more longer lasting game, rather than following Pokemon.
Real question, do you think Pokemon following you can extend a game's playtime?
