Works so great! I use a V21.1 version of this and it is amazing! I've loved HGSS for that feature and bringing it in to my game was so awesome!
It seems like a small thing, but having your buddy follow you around just adds so much life to the game - thank you for making this!
I like the plugin, but is there for v19(or 19.1)?

It suddenly vanished while im downloading it ;-;
A fantastic script for one of the most sought-after features in fangames. This is an essential part of our game and we're very grateful that you've made this public
Works nearly perfectly.
My only issue is that the pokemon is always on top of the player when going up sideways staircase warps. I don't know what the issue is, though, since other move routes with similar settings don't seem to cause this.
This scrips works amazingly! One question that I had is how to make thw pokeon always be behind you, as it seems that my player goes faster than them. Other than that, it is a great addition.

Are you sure you haven't tampered with any of the scripts, and also are you sure that no other Plugin is overwriting the changes in this script. I haven't faced this issue and haven't seen anyone else report it. If possible, please share a recording of this issue in action.
Works perfectly.
Just one question: the Pokémon should appear on dependant events?
Because the char which should follows my character disappear, and the Pokémon keeps following me, instead of the dependant one.

Could you be a little clearer? This statement is a bit confusing.
I love this program and it is actually incredible! The only issue is that I've noticed that one Pokemon won't follow for some reason. It's Coalossal. Not sure why, but just letting you know.

In HGSS, Pokemon which are taller than 8 feet in height are sent back to their Pokeball's when inside a building. This is to prevent 60 ft tall behemoths like Groudon from walking into some dudes home. Coalossal's height is 9 ft 6 inches, which is higher than the limit, so it won't follow you when in buildings.
amazing, the only improvement would be to add the necessary OW sprites in the zip. but that is understandable, as not every game has the same dex. great work!

Thanks! If you want Gen 1-8 Overworld sprites, be sure to check out the other resource linked in the thread which contains overworlds for all Gen 1-8 Pokemon, as well as other Gen 8 Systems for Pokemon Essentials.
Very nice work Golisopod User, will definetly use this!!
A modern & optimized reboot of the beloved Follower Pokemon mod by mej71 for Essentials v18+
Took a bit for me to install the script but it does perform really well in-game.

However, one small thing that I've been experiencing is that when using ledges, the dust animation for when the player lands is offset downwards by one whole grid. This happens after placing the animations.rxdata from the download provided.

I tried replicating this in a backup of my personal project as well as a fresh copy of PE and it was the same outcome.

Not too sure if it's me doing something wrong with the install still, so this is still a great script nonetheless.

The animations provided are just supposed to be temporary ones just to show the script has the emote functionality. You don't need to use them. Feel free to change them if you have any issue.
This is one of the coolest scripts available for Pokémon Essentials. The only issue that I have with it is when I leave some map through a door - the following Pokémon appears above my char no below it

This should be fixed in the next update
Works totally fine, installing was easy.

There's only 1 thing I personally dislike: When I stand still, the pokemon still moves, I would love to get help to fix that.

That's how it is in HGSS, which is what I'm trying to emulate.
Love your this mod, great update from previous version's I haven't seen any glitches.

I did however force an error with this Script and wanted to share to you.

By talking to my Pokémon, it did the jumping of joy animation. and I proceded to talk into the Pokémon and the game chrashed. This is a minor thing and will likely not happen but here is the error code it gave me.

This is a very specific bug that will only occur when 3 very specific conditions are satisfied. I'll fix this in the next update.
It took some trying to get working, but once it did, I was filled with so much happiness. Thank you for this tool. For anyone struggling to get things to work, here are a couple snags I ran into (because of certain parts of the instructions that I misunderstood- totally my fault):

In Step 7, the ID number of Follower_Common_Event is a number you find near the top of the script section "Follower Config", the one you put above Main. The ID was "5", for me. That means I had to put "pbTalkToFollower" in the 005 slot of the Common Events in my Database.
Also, make sure that the event you use for Step 9 is not the same event you use for step 8- Step 8's event has to remain blank, as far as I can tell.

All of this was made clear in the instructions, but I figured maybe this could help someone who runs into the same snags I did. In any case, this tool is truly wonderful, thank you and the previous Follow Pokemon version developers!
