* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]] are retained when a Pokémon is following the player. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A' while facing it, so they can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball. The player's lead Pokémon will always follow them except in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.

* A new series of events precede encountering the [[game mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the game mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.

* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from {{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater|the Dance Theater}} in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, they can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[game mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]]{{sup/4|HG}}/[[Whirl Islands]]{{sup/4|SS}} where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}}/{{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}}.

The Pokémon with these special forms will revert to their normal forms when used in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. That means the [[Stats]] will be reverted to those of the normal form. {{p|Rotom}} will also temporarily forget the move granted by this special form.
