Do you think they are returning? Do you want them to return?

They were fun, but I'd like them having more of a plot other than "help me through this area"

I also think there may be six now with the Defense/Special Defense stat being split.

Brainstorm plot ideas Go!
 
Oh I hope so. Those guys were amazing for training.
 
I would really like to see them return, it definitely made the game more interesting when getting through the forest etc. I think it would be cool if they had more involvement in the plot, like if a character were to go through the evil team's hideout - kinda like lance in GSC, except if he stuck with you even through the battle with the bad boss guy.
 
A part of me wants them to make a comeback (they were good partners to train with). The other doesn't (most of the time, they KO the Pokemon you're trying to catch).

Overall, I don't really know.

Haven't Defense and Special Defense been separate stats since GenII?

Anyways, yeah, I really hope the Stat Trainers make a come-back. They were great fun, and their healing factor made going through all those caves so much less of a headache!

you can't catch wild pokemon in a double battle. Since the stat trainer is with you, two wild pokemon appear. If you try to use a pokeball, it'll say: you can't throw a pokeball when there's two pokemon! or something like that. Even if you KO'd the other pokemon, it won't work.

Anyway, yes, i would definitely want them back. but with more of a part in the story and maybe different stat trainers

Nope, it does work: if you faint one of them, you're able to catch the other. The problem is, the other trainer will often attack the one you're trying to catch, especially if it's a lower-leveled lower evolutionary form (like the Slugma in Stark Mountain). I've definitely had this problem - I tried a few times with one or two of the trainers, and finally gave up trying to catch anything altogether while paired with them (except for that one time I barely nabbed a shiny Camerupt with one lucky Ultra Ball before Buck's Claydol could obliterate it).

oh! oops, my bad... but i tried it before on my Diamond version and it didn't work...
 
What they need to do is allow you to catch one when there are two, and also give you an option where you can tell your partner not to attack a certain pokemon, so that way they'll go after the other one while you try to catch it. If they did that, I'd welcome the feature back with open arms. I'd still like to have it back either way, but that's one thing they really should do to improve it.
 
Definitely want them back, even if it is exactly the same as DPP. They were an awesome part of the game. The main bad thing about HGSS, that they didnt have any. :'(
 
Gen + Iron Island = Best training spot in the game. I still haven't got Riolu because it's a great place to gain experience.

So yeah, bring them on!
 
Ooh god, yes! That would be perfect that have a partner travel with you!
 
YES YES YES YES YES!

Just yesterday, I was dicking around in Wayward Cave on Platinum and due to my lack of preparedness, had my team reduced to shambles, with my ONE level 20 Eevee barely holding on.

Then I found Mira.
And a heavenly light poured through the gaps in the cave.

There is no better training method than having an auto-healer right besides you. And one as GLORIOUS as the DPPt crew were. Cool kids' club indeed~.
I want them back. If not the same ones, make others just as awesome.
But I do want to see Mira again ;_;
 
yes yes yes! aside from the catching problem, i thought they were really cool! should definitely return!
 
I hope the idea returns, though with greater backstories/plot. Marley interested me, but not much was really revealed with her.
 
I would like it if you could go with them multiple times because i like to beat the game kinda quick with my main team so i would like it if say you beat the game then you wanted to go back to eterna forest to ev train/just train your low level pokemon
 
I think you should join up with your Rival/Psuedo rival at some point.
 
They were very helpfull... too helfull on some parts and you couldn´t catch pokemon with them around, but they were cool...

Maybe, If they get more part of the story...
