Pokémon Yellowintroduced the concept of a party member   Pokémon follow the player around , as the Pikachu given to the player by Professor Oak would act as a companion throughout the secret plan .

The following Pokémon feature returned in a limited capacity inPokémon Diamond & Pearl , but it came   back in full force inPokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver , where it   was strain to every undivided   Pokémon in the game .

TheIsle of Armorexpansion is now availableforPokémon Sword & Shieldand the following   Pokémon mechanic has returned in a limited mannikin . Once the player has acquire Kubfu , they will be followed by whatever   Pokémon is in the top pip in the party roster . It ’s possible to disable / enable this feature by talking to the minor in the Pikachu outfit at heart of the Dojo . There appear to be no limitations as to what   Pokémon can follow the actor around , from the lumbering Snorlax , a hopping Magikarp , or even a Wailord !

The retort of the following   Pokémon mechanic has been a immense surprisal for actor , particularly debate how Game Freak unwrap middling much everything about theIsle of Armorbefore launch . It bears mentioning that this only apply to the Modern Wild Area on the Isle of Armor itself and does n’t appear to be active in the original Wild Area in the Galar realm .

TheIsle of Armorexpansion does n’t add many new   Pokémon , though it does add back over one hundred creatures that did n’t make the swing forPokémon Sword & Shield . The ability to have   Pokémon fall out the player around on the map in a fully 3D environment is one of the best aspects of theIsle of Armorand it ’s surprising that Game Freak did n’t hype up its riposte during the promotion for the plot . It ’s potential that the circumscribed scope of the car-mechanic has led to Game Freak downplay its arrival . Hopefully the feature comeback in future DLC and in whatever championship is coming to the mainline series afterSword & Shield .
