Hey, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I just saw this on Kotaku and I thought it was worth posting... better people hear about it twice than not at all, right?

There's a tiny bit of gameplay footage where you can see Chikoriate following Gold around in what I'm guessing is New Bark Town. So maybe this is like Pokémon Yellow, or the park areas in Generation IV? I didn't use the parks in Gen IV, but I remember Pikachu trailing around all the way through Pokémon Yellow. Ah, good times!
