It's too bad they rarely let him out from behind Mario's fat ass. He definitely has more of a personality. It’s too bad they rarely let him out from behind Mario’s fat ass.

"I want to follow you around! Everywhere! Find my flute! What about my cape! Hey! Hey! Hey!" It's pretty sad, though, around the halfway mark when you're running through the Kryta provinces and see her cape lying on the ground in the sand. You just know you'll meet her in the Underworld when you go to raid it at 20. Reminds me of the little girl in Guild Wars. “I want to follow you around! Everywhere! Find my flute! What about my cape!

I would go inside after a day's work, throw the ball, give him/her a pat, and that was the dog sorted for the day. In World of Warcraft, the Voidwalker, much as I love it, insists on sitting on top of any kill I just made, thus preventing me looting. It will also block my fishing bobber if it can. Definitely a demon! Best companion ever - the Mag cell from Phantasy Star Online. You could grow it to what stats suited you, and it came in a variety of shapes. Not only that, it could save your life with its various procs and damage bonuses ( I get the feeling I'm the only one here that played that game. Oh well).

I kept my dog in the house, too. He seemed happy in there, plus I never had to worry about him being outside during a storm or something. My first char on WoW was a lock and even though I played mostly with my succubus, I will forever remember my imp Karlop. He was so annoying and retarded, but awwww Karlop. I have a soft spot for sidekicks, really. As long as I turn the sound off and don't have to hear that damn imp voice say the same shit. Oh, right! I kept my dog in the house, too.

Every time I hit the button to see what Navi wanted, she was suggesting that we go to a location in which we were currently standing. Right then. "Hey, there's an arctic wind blowing from Zora's River? Do you feel it?" Why yes, Navi, I do. Because we are standing on the river. Which is frozen.

Exactly. And yeah, eventually I kept the dog and cat inside the house too. I never really kept my animals out at night so the dog being outside was pointless. But those nights where I had to chase after him before I learned to just keep him inside. Bleh. LMfao, Alison. Exactly.

I thought it was so cool to have the pikachu following you around. They should have done that with all the starters so they seem more like partners than random slaves. And yeah, vlion. Remember the old world WoW escorts? "Halp pls get me out of this cave full of monsters! Hang on...I'm going to walk reeeally slow...wait...wait...oh the mobs seem to have respawned. Allow me to die here and make you start over." Haha, I remember playing pokemon yellow. I thought it was so cool to have the pikachu following you around.

He was almost as annoying as Navi IMO. I'd say the only entertaining thing about him was the color-changing trick, which was the only reason I'd ever listen to his incessant demands to play fetch.

Especially on second or third playthroughs, you think that'd give you some kind of extra special ending, but no.

He submitted that his arsenal of Kung-fu moves were all gleaned from old TV Movies he saw while waiting for Mario to get back from adventuring, which I submitted that it was part of his mystical powers of the far east. Yeah, we're awesome. I was actually stuck at a slow moving wedding rehersal, and had a two hour conversation with my brother about the core aesthetic of Luigi.
