If you are not familiar with this feature, in HGSS, the leading party Pokemon follows you in the overworld, and you can interact with it.

Since this shifts wram, it would be misleading to release it as a patch. Results may vary when applied to a binary. Bugs will appear when used with any existing save (such as Repel being activated).

Graphics are from the icon pack as placeholders. Eventually, complete walking graphics will be included. The extra space of 6 frames instead of 2 is already accounted for, as seen here.

Code: https://github.com/yenatch/pokecrystal/tree/following

Todo:
preparse_list_tag('
[*]a lot[/*]
[*]Replace existing overworld Pokemon and menu icons[/*]
[*]Alternate battle entrance for the following Pokemon[/*]
[*]Flavor text (dump from hgss?)[/*]
[*]HM animations[/*]
[*]Ledge jumping[/*]
', '*', $errors)

Bugs:
preparse_list_tag('
[*]Always faces down when going through a connection[/*]
[*]Sprite doesn't update when leaving menus or events like fainting from poison[/*]
[*]Sprite follows while surfing[/*]
[*]Surf sprite is still Lapras[/*]
[*]Pokecenter[/*]
[*]Doesn't fall into maps when you do[/*]
', '*', $errors)

I was too lazy to patch a rom to obtain the graphics, so I ripped them from the animated image. Apparently it's outdated, so I need to grab them from the patch for real. Until then, the following sprites are broken (more than 4 colors in the image):
preparse_list_tag('
[*]Magneton[/*]
[*]Koffing[/*]
[*]Weezing[/*]
[*]Chikorita[/*]
[*]Meganium[/*]
[*]Azumarill[/*]
[*]Pineco[/*]
[*]Sneasel[/*]
', '*', $errors)
