You know, in Donkey Kong Country, partners didn't use AI to follow the player. They just recorded the player's previous position and had the partner follow the exact path the player took. It might sound cheap, but it prevents the partner from getting left behind during tricky platforming situations, and then you could just let players switch characters, rather than have them try to fight at once. I found Pikachu's current AI to be too aggressive, anyway, and he would often sit there attacking rapidly despite getting hurt.
