Still exploring and looking for Pokémon? Well now you can pick your favorite Pokémon to travel with you. Niantic have just revealed an upcoming feature for Pokémon GO‘s next update. Trainers will be able to choose one of their monsters to become their buddy. According to the developers, travelling with a buddy will award certain bonuses to the player. While there is no official release date, the feature is apparently “just around the corner”. What do you think of this feature? Tell us below.
The next addition to Pokémon GO will be Buddy Pokémon. You will be able to pick your favorite Pokémon from your collection to become your buddy, opening up unique in-game rewards and experiences. Buddy Pokémon will appear alongside your Trainer avatar on your profile screen, adding helpful bonuses such as awarding Candy for walking together. You’ll also have the ability to change your Buddy Pokémon at any time.
Seems interesting. Gonna have to wait to see it in action to judge it tho.
Interesting indeed, can’t wait til it comes out to see it for myself!
Sounds interesting. Maybe I’ll start playing it again after the update.
Cool!
i will choose pikachu
I don’t care if this feature yielded no rewards, I’m a huge sucker for the following pokemon mechanic, so I’m really looking forward to this.
I got bored of Pokémon go I don’t like the leveling system. Way too much grinding. Got people with 2500cp Pokémon at the gyms. I don’t got time for all that my best Pokémon is like 1200cp lol maybe wen they get trainer battling and add more Pokémon then I’ll get into it again
You can easily win a pokemon with +2000 CP with 6 of your 1,200 CP, so your point is invalid.
Their point isn’t invalid because you say so. In fact, their point still stands since I’m sure the thing you mentioned is totally random & they could easily end up wasting all of those points for what could end up being total shit and utterly useless to them.
Just because I can beat one 2000+ Pokémon with 6 1200 cp level Pokémon does not mean that the game is any less of a grind fest And many gyms don’t just have one 2000+ level Pokémon they have multiple, at least where I live. Point of the comment was that it’s a GRINDFEST there’s no way you can dispute that try as u may.
Huh so it was true what they dug up
It won’t be long until I can finally walk with my Arcanine. That big fluffy fire tiger dog needed some air once in a while other than being gym battle bait.
never liked stupido’mon so.
So this is similar to how Heartgold & Soulsilver allowed you to have the first Pokemon in your party follow behind you? Cool feature. Now if only GameFreak would make that a permanent feature in every main Pokemon entry instead of just being a one off for a remake.
no following pokémon, it doesnt say that your pokémon follows you. you just see its avatar next to your avatar thats it.

Sounds cool. Now if only they would implement trading already, seeing as it was one of the 3 big selling points of the reveal trailer.
They should let said buddy Pokemon walk behind your character on the map.
Just like good old SoulSilver.
For those referring to HeartGold and SoulSilver: Did you guys forget about pokemon yellow?
Pokemon Yellow technically doesn’t count since it only allowed Pikachu to follow behind you. It wasn’t til Soul & Heart that you could choose which Pokemon followed behind you on the world map.
