"pokewalker"

Literally the first footage for Hg/Ss showed it.

Yea it was the first thing talked about when footage released of game play. We didn't know it was for all 492 for a couple weeks iirc

>question: Was the feature that is literally always present in in-game footage revealed before release?
Think for two seconds before you post please.

question: Why do people care so much about following Pokémon? It fixes none of the problems the current games have.

Unpopular opinion and please prove me wrong, but I don't think the Rockruff we saw was indicative of following Pokemon, and was instead a single instance of a scripted overworld model. Maybe we'll be able to interact with overworld pokemon in some way, but I don't think following is a thing and people are drawing conclusions from insufficient amounts of data

That's not an unpopular opinion, that's just called having a functioning brain.

Because it's a good feature for immersion, helping people bond with their Pokémon and make them feel less like tools for battle.

It's much better than the Amie/Refresh because that feature just feels like putting coins into an animatronic to make the thing play the same tired animation it's done a million times. Flavor text and having your Pokémon outside allows the imagination of autists such as myself to flourish.
