    As you all know, In the game Hg and SS there is a feature in which the Pokemon who is placed first in your party list follows you around. so as the thread title says, which Pokemon do you like the most following you in term of design. I like Pidgeot the most cause when its following me it looks like its flying behind me. :)

    Hmm, TOTODILE ! my favorite. I really loved that cutie honey pie :3 i have to agree Totodile was awesome in everything. But when it grew to crocnow and Freligator i just stopped taking him out with me, It feels kinda weird to me to hangout with a Big giant monster! ;3

    I miss the feature so much it's unbelievable. I am so cut it wasn't included in the games following HGSS. I don't really have a favorite Pokemon to walk around with...maybe Ho oh and Lugia considering how huge they were haha.

    Yup, it was definitely a nice touch. Although it's understandable that our Pokémon are meant to remain in their PokéBalls and whatnot, I don't believe it would precisely hurt to have at least one member of your party out on the field following you behind. It's rather cute, actually! It sucks to see that the feature did not make it into future games.

    I wish this was included in the following generations.
    Luckily I am playing SS for 3 months now, and it's a really fun feature. Makes the game more personal. Its like you're having a friend follow you around.

    I like to have any of my Pokemon follow me (in my signature are the one I am using in SS), but I would probably go with Umbreon. It's an equivalent of Ash's Pikachu.

    Totodile was my favorite until I got Umbreon in my party. Now Umbreon is always first in my party to follow me around

    I hope they do implement this again in a future game for the same reasons. Pokemon Amie + your pokemon following you would be amazing.

    I loved the follow me feature. It really added a connection between the trainer and their pokemon so I was sad when they didn't add it to the future games. but what can you do :(

    I used to always have my Arcanine follow me seeing as it was my favourite pokemon and it was basically the same as walking a dog. :D

    I havent played the recent games yet but I can imagine Pokemon Amie being a good substitute for pokemon following. But as you said, both of it would definitely be a win.

    I really enjoyed this feature in HG/SS so I can understand some people feeling sad it never appeared in any future games again. My fave Pokemon that I liked having follow me around would probably have to be my beloved Miltank, who's a strong performer in the Pokeathlon's Stamina course.

    I loved this feature soooo much. Seeing my adorable pokemon follow me around was awesome. My favorite pokemon to have follow me around was Kingler. He always walks sideways which I found hillarious.

    I don't rely have a favorite pokemon follower, as my training involves switching the line up to have the weakest ones first.

    However, I am amazed that the bridges there can handle my Snorlax.XD
