Specifically, I'm wondering about things like having Gyarados follow you. I doubt they're going to cover shit like this in the announcement today, so do people with more programming knowledge/insight have any idea how this sort of thing works?
I hope it's not just a tiny version of a large pokemon. That would be kinda dumb. Either way this is going to be the best Direct ever. Fucking following pokemon finally making a comeback baby!
Are you guys trying to meme magic this feature back or something?

Here's what's gonna happen: Cute mons like starters, rockruff etc. are able to follow you but if they evolve they don't. It's like with the dumb high five in refresh. Why the fuck can I high five a cute baby owl but not the badass archer evolution? Why the fuck can I high five a cute cat but not the literal human version of it? Why the fuck can I high five a fucking dog but the wolf/werewolf/OC evolutions of it?

People are just excited. It's a favorite feature and there's lots of evidence to suggest it MIGHT be in OOSSOOMMMM

All of the models in game are to scale with their actual size (yes, Wailord's model is several times larger than most others), but they're normalized for battle. They could just further scale down the models for following.
