>>37762841You guys know the reasons that isn't in now is because the game's have a drastically different scale than LGPE, right? In LGPE, the scale of the game and its perspective allow you to put following Pokemon in because you don't have to size them properly because it's SD.
In a fully 3D game like this, having following Pokemon for over 800+ Pokemon of varying sizes in a game that has a more realistic scale for the world/characters wouldn't work.
Onix, for instance, would mean they would either have to shrink Onix down to in battle size like with Wailord, or design everything single map in such a way that it can accommodate every possible following Pokemon, which is impossible. They could also limit the amount of Pokemon that can follow you based on the sizes, but would that be reasonable?
I really want it in too, I love having my buds follow me, but as it stands, it's nearly impossible with the game being something like an open world title with lots of space, which is something Gamefreak would never be able to pull off.
