When Sun and Moon's demo came out people were able to data mine walk and run cycles for msot Pokémon. They ended up not being implimented but how would you guys feel about seeing more Pokémon being able to follow along side you once again?

To be honest, I would love it if my partner was once again at my side. But I am not sure of it would hreally happen. I do recall someone saying that in the trailer it looked like the Wingull was following the Protagonist. So maybe. I am hopeful.
I would love UltraSun and UltraMoon implement walk/run cycles from now on. On another note, has anyone seen Komala's run cycle? It's absolutely hilarious. XD
I think that it's possible to see the walking animations in USM. I remember seeing a Wingull kind of follow the main protagonist in the trailer, and I looked at the 'walking' animation for it, and they look pretty much the same. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but we won't know until more information is released. I'd love to have this feature in USM though, because with all of the new graphics, I'd love to see my partner follow me in the game. Well just have to wait and see if this will actually happen or not.
I really don't know about this one. On one hand I can see it being a thing, I don't doubt the Pokémon company's capabilities, but on the other hand the time and money needed for this to happen seems like it would push back the release date more. Also, would we be able to walk with all Pokémon? I imagine that it would be more like Amity Square with only a select few.
Oh, I would love it if they brought back Pokémon walking with their trainers! As for luxuryluxray's comment on the release date, according to a Pokémon youtuber, he felt that Pokémon Sun and Moon had been cut off, the ending felt very abrupt to him and left him hanging so he feels that maybe, Ultra Sun and Moon would be the second half of the game that they had cut but it's all speculation at the moment. It's something to look forward to and I really hope that we'll have our buddies beside us like in Soul Silver and Heart Gold
I'd love to see that feature return. It would be nice if they made some minor changes though. Make it optional for players who don't want it or don't want it all the time. And have it so that you can have any Pokémon from your party follow you, not just the first one. That way you can have the Pokémon you want following you, even if its not the one you want to battle with.
It would be hella cool. But it seems like these sprites are seen in battle, so maybe in battle or scene? I don't know...
Yes! Please! I pray to Arceus, make this real! There was a part of the trailer where you can see what looks like a Wingull following you, but it might have just been flying in the same direction as you. That would still be cool to see more overworld Pokémon.
Pokeomn walking behind the play is one of my favorite features in the game so I would love if it returned. However, I read somewhere that it was cut because the 3DS couldn't handle it in some places so unless Game Freak can make things less intensive in those places we probably won't be seeing it in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
It would be great if they use these animations so we can walk our 'mons like in HGSS, but I'm kind of worried that the 3DS won't be strong enough for it. I mean, IIRC in Sun/Moon the battle screen lags when you enter a double battle... I wonder if the system would be able to handle loading these walk cycles and many, many other overworld 3D models...
If it were ever possible, I would love the ability to have your Pokémon follow you again. We probably won't be seeing it again in the near future, but it would be a fun option to have back for old times' sake; it always made me feel closer to my party members compared to having them stowed away in their pokeballs all the time.
I would love it so much! Maybe since amie is a thing now it could boost your friendship levels too? This is probably one of my most wanted features, but I can understand how it could be harder to render now with the new graphics.
That would make sense. Pokémon already gain a small amount of friendship when you wank around with them in your party, but they could make it so that the Pokémon you have walking with you gets double the friendship gain.
I would love for that to happen again, however I would prefer the entire team walk beside me rather than just the first Pokémon in my party. Still, I'll take what I can get and like it!
Now that would definitely lag the game. That would take up so much of the screen too. It would be kind of cool if we could carry smaller Pokémon on our shoulders or ride on larger Pokémon. I hated that the ride Pokémon weren't my own.
That would be fantastic! ...That's also probably the reason why they didn't implement follwers in SM. It would partially invalidate the need for Ride Pokémon. Maybe this means they're out for USUM, but the fact that the walk cycles exist is enough hope that they'll come in USUM. What company in their right mind would animate over 750 models and then not use those animations at all? What a waste of time and manpower!
I am in awe of these models. They are absolutely beautiful, and now I really REALLY want USUM to implement them. If not, expect me back to moon over the sprites after the release. I have to admit that I was slightly surprised to see Legendaries among the cycles. Of course, having a huge dragon walking beside you is pretty cool, but how would it would affect the landscape around you? Palkia, for example, is probably too big to fit through most paths, so I think only certain Pokémon will be allowed to walk with you in certain areas. #MissingNo
I think it'd be pretty cool if this happened, but I'm not sure how likely it'll be. A walk cycle for every Pokémon would take up quite a bit of data. As well as that, those videos have walk cycles for Mega Evolutions, who you don't see out of battle. But hey, if I can walk around Alola with my team, sign me up!
