Why is there barely any documentation on this feature or a sprite sheet of all the Gen V walking sprites that isn't fanmade?

The documentation for a lot of Pokemon games is strikingly poor in certain areas.

Only a handful of gen 5 mons were available through the Dream World, and were almost always BW2 only.

Also, even though everything from gen 1-4 technically has sprites in the game, most of them aren't used anywhere afaik

If you weren't moronic you'd know that HGSS and BW were developed at the exact same time. BW didn't "came later".

Morimoto didn't even plan to include followers in HGSS until he saw the sprites they made for the Dream World, and requested he use them for HGSS.

This pisses me off. The HGSS following system would be the EASIEST way to make the then pissed off fans warm up to the new Unova designs. Why the frick didn't they implement this simple feature? How hard would it have been to carry it over from HGSS's files?
There's an important scene in the beginning of the game where the player's starter Pokemon talks to N. This moment has story relevance, and it would've been more impactful had they actually added a cutscene with the Pokemon's overworld sprite. It just makes no damn sense.

It’s espailly weird because Game Freak really wanted people to like the Unova pokemon, hense the main campaign being only Unova pokemon ans so many Unovan Pokemkn being minimaxed. Masuda even called BW his “magnum opus”. Why would they make it so that Pokémon that were created solely to fill out Kanto’s Backyard follow you but not Pokemon from Game freak’s “magnum opus”?

The sprites were taken FROM BW to be used in HGSS. B2W2 showed us the system is already there. They literally didn't include it for no good reason.

Game Freak (or probably just Masuda and whoever is directing the games these days) justifies abandoning popular features with wanting to make each new game feel "unique".
But some unpopular feature fans want fixed? That'll stick around unchanged like bad smell.

Yeah, but it was just Pikachu. It's called "Special Pikachu Edition" for a reason.

Is there a rom hack that adds this feature in? Sort of like following platinum
This.
The only legitimate gripe about BDSP
HGSS was able to chibi-ify the overworld pokemon sprites but BDSP just made the real models smaller for a largely uncanny effect.
How has the following mechanic gotten worse and worse as time goes on?
Chibi pokemon would require new 3d models and animations for EVERY. SINGLE. POKEMON in the game.
Unrealistic.
They were so based for this. A shame they didn't keep them for gen 5
Gen 5 used them for the dream world feature instead. Better than wasted resources I guess
they couldn't be bothered to draw 156 new sets of sprites
They did though.

Man, I miss Dream World. Someone should emulate the server for that thing.
Just AI upscale the pokemon rumble models hello?
Actually don't even AI upscale them
Yeah, it’s not like they did that with overworld sprites in the very gen this is supposed to be a remake of
fpwp
This is why this franchise will never be good again holy shit you shills eat up anything
the pokemon company could pay 10,000 people $1M per year and have 1 billion dollars still left
chibi 3d models wouldn't have to be as much work because they are not as detailed
pokegays still clapped their hands and ate it up
sinnohgays*
its the least grossing remake made when you account for gobal pop
>still mad about following pokemon
Why?

every goofy thing like this in BDSP just makes it cuter, god it's such a perfect remake
>god it's such a perfect remake
Nice joke.
Pokemon should make kaiju monsters but with proportions again
actually, this is just pokemon using their shrinking powers mentioned in Legend Arceus to travel comfortably with their trainers.
The shrinking logic is also incredibly moronic
