General Pokemon Discussion

I was thinking, if they were to do the daycare the same way they did in the original where you can see your Pokemon you've left in the daycare on the overworld, they'd have to make overworld sprites for every Pokemon. And if they're gonna make overworld sprites for every Pokemon, they might as well make the first Pokemon in your party follow you around rather than just your starter.

they're probably too lazy

They could use the menu sprites that each pokemon has.
Not that I wouldn't mind each one having their own overworld though.
That, or they could just change the daycare to be more like the newer ones.
