In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around. | In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player. | By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player.

Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger some expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them.

When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}, Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. | ||

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon. | If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side.

For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large. | ||
Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an [[Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu]] becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Pokémon will additionally do as they did in Amity Square and occasionally pick up items and accessories, though it is unknown what items can be found this way or if these items vary by species. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location. | Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon.

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card. | Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]].

Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball. | ||

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2=== | |||
{{main|Humilau City}} | |||
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations, possibly to show the mechanic hasn't been forgotten. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{DL|Valuable item|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day. | |||

Several Pokémon walk with their | Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Though Ash eventually insisted he go inside for protection as he defended them both from the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}} he encountered, Pikachu still did not, and has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s Clone Balls. | ||
[[ | [[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]]. | ||
Like Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] has also become a walking Pokémon, though he was initially completely fine with staying inside at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with it, unlike Pikachu. Since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms much like Misty did Togepi. In some episodes, however, Piplup instead rides on either her head or her shoulder. | Like Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] has also become a walking Pokémon, though he was initially completely fine with staying inside at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with it, unlike Pikachu.

[[ | [[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]] | ||
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. It is unknown if Axew has any dislike of a Poké Ball, as the issue of if he even has one has not been raised in the series and also because when the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it. | |||
Several of | [[Clemont's Dedenne]] is the newest walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. | ||
Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, and for comedic effect, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Wobbuffet is thus something of a fourth team member. | |||
{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer. | |||
