I'd like it if I could turn it off, even if I did like it, it was kinda forced that only the first in the party was out, you should be able to pick which one you want out, and as I said, turn it off if it anniyed you.
There, everyone happy.
(goning by the trailer, it doesn't seem to be a forced thing, that is, if we get the feature in the first place)
Considering the 3D models are already in the game, they really just need a walk cycle for each pokemon. And it's just damn adorable.
It would also help to make the world more believable. The 2D games got away with having few to no pokemon visible in the overworld, but I think doing this in a 3D world would make it seem strangely empty. Maybe you could even see pokemon hiding in trees and bushes in the overworld. Imagine what it would be like to go to a forest location and see all the birds and bug pokemon! Or if your pokemon could interact with the environment as well, like looking at other pokemon in the overworld!
I think the biggest issue is that this might be too much for the 3DS to handle, or all the man-hours it would take to animate and program that.
I'd like for it to return but I don't think they will bring that Pokemon feature back, the trailer we saw didn't show any Pokemon following the trainer.
Frankly, since there are gonna be over 700 pokemon now, I think is best that only all of the starters, their evolutions, and pikachu should be allowed to follow the trainer outside of their pokeball. It really makes the feature feel a lot more special and plus the development team won't have to worry about creating over 700+ models.
Walking around with Reshiram... no one seems to notice... *forever alone*
I really wish the walking Pokemon feature had been more than just a novelty in HGSS. It could've added a bit more to the story in B/W, instead of just having N say, "oh I can hear their voices through their Poke Balls." But here we are with X/Y on the horizon, and I just don't see this feature returning at all. Especially since it's in 3D now, I'm having a hard time envisioning this feature without it looking like there's too much going on.
Personally, I feel like they put too much emphasis on keeping Pokemon in their Poke Balls. I understand it's one of the core mechanics of the franchise, but having the walking Pokemon feature expanded beyond HGSS would've kept things interesting without changing too much.
Personally, I don't think it will make a return in X/Y.
I really do think it's a cool feature, but it really isn't practical in the long run. If it does make a reappearance though, I would love to have the option of turning it off whenever I want.
I would love to see it return, but it's not going to happen.
I would love it if they brought Walking Pokemon back. I would like it even more if they made it make sense. Like water pokemon in water, land = land, and flying types anywhere.
Still not as funny as strolling around with Arceus in HGSS.Quote:

To be honest, I really loved having that in Heart Gold. To me it made it feel like they just weren't my Pokemon, but also my traveling companion as I played though the game. <3
