So /vp/, what do you guys think the odds are of having Pokemon

>>27459049
Chances get slimmer and slimmer each new gen.

To make an individual walking animation for over 700 monsters is too much to ask.

>>27459049
In any future gen? Pretty good. But almost 100% not happening in SM, and probably not in whatever gen 8 is. After that? Maybe.

I like Pokémon being ABLE to follow you, but it bothered me the first time I played SoulSilver that I couldn't choose to put my Pokémon back in the ball. It just seemed strange to me.

>>27459049
Sadly slim, at least for the next few releases. Perhaps better platforms will let it see a return.

>>27459049
With realistic sprites for humans now and with over 800 Pokemon that most likely will happen in this gen - no more Pokemon following you ever

They did it in PSMD fambam

Amie>Walking Pokemon

>>27459105
PSMD isnt GF game plus now humans arent chibis anymore

>>27459114
when I was younger I wanted to be able to camp with my Pokémon like they did in the show. I decided you would be able to do it on routes at night and it would heal your Pokémon like a Pokémon Center, and a little cutscene would play.

I actually think its happening this gen. I tried to explain why on /vp but literally no one understood my reasoning as simple as it was. Here is hau with litten out as you walk up to him. Im not going to explain why this is abnormal.

It'll eventually be incredibly easy to implement because of models.

They already got rid of the chibi stuff so pretty soon they'll be able to just straight up the battle models in the overworld.

>>27459049
it was such a trivial and easy to implement feature, no idea why they got rid of it in gen 5 depite reusing sprites from the following feature for hidden grottos and NPCs. could've just made sprites for the unova pokemon and then reused everything else.

This t b h, they'll eventually have nothing else to add other than features like walking, plus with their advances with the animations in future gens I'm sure they'll put it in again, but maybe in 2 generations after this one.

nice blog tripfag

>>27459178
You need to explain it since that has been in every single main game.

Pokemon in the overworld =/= following pokemon.

>>27459178
Pokemon in the overworld exist in every gen

>>27459198
Thats exactly why they wont do pokemon walking. The Pokemon models would have to be realistic aswell and that would fuck everything up

>>27459269
The only time that a starter has been out of its ball was when a game had those features. Apart from games with the features a starter has never been out in the over world. I understand we have reg pokes out in every gen. But never a starter , a starter taken from the batch of starter picks in the begging at that. In the SM footage shown at E3 as you walk up to hau his starter is out. Its not even a cut scence.
Secondly all pokemon have some sense of scaling to the trainer seeing as how theyre in the background in battles, wether accurate or innacurate. So this means somehow wailmer would work.

>>27459309
if the human models work in and out of battle so can the pokemon battles. But it won't happen in SM. Maybe next gen.

>>27459301
But this is a starter, a starter is never ever in the overworld in any of the games except for the ones that allow that feature. Cutscenes dont count.
