Partner Pokémon[edit]
Partner Pokémon are the Pokémon that accompany you throughout your entire Story Mode adventure. The only restrictions are that you cannot pick a starter Pokémon with the same type as yours; that is, if you got a Charmander as a lead starter, you cannot pick a Charmander (obviously), a Cyndaquil, or a Torchic.
