If you are going to help restore the land and help Tangrowth with his dream of repopulating with Pokemon and humans Pokemon Pokopiathen you will need help. This is where the different Pokemon you find by creating new biomes come in handy. Some will build structures, others can use their skills to create new biomes or interact with the world Popopia. However, they won't just follow you by default. If their station isn't near where you need them to help you, you'll have to ask them to follow you.

How to get a Pokemon to follow you in Pokopia
If you need a Pokemon to go with you to take on a task or use a move, you can get them to follow you in two ways. The first is to walk up to them, press A to talk to them, and select 'Follow Me.' The Pokemon will then go with you until you tell them to stop.
An alternative and much easier way is to go to the Pokemon and press Up on the d-pad. This will skip the dialogue and the Pokemon will immediately follow you. You'll know it worked correctly because both Ditto and the Pokemon you're asking to follow you will emote/react.
In most cases, when you arrive at your destination, the Pokémon that is required for the task will automatically do what you need without you having to do anything else.
If you need a Pokemon to complete a construction project, you will need to interact with the small signpost in front of the placed structure and then go to the Pokemon tab. As long as Pokemon are nearby, you can select their outlines and they will be assigned to the building project.
It's worth noting that you can have a maximum of five Pokemon following you at any given time Popopia. You'll need to ask other Pokemon to unfollow you if you need another to join you wherever you go in the world.
How to make a Pokemon stop following you in Pokopia
When you no longer need a Pokemon to follow you, you can stand in front of it and press and hold the d-pad. This will release them and they will go back to their normal routine or diving around the world. You can also talk to them and choose to unfollow you if you want.
If a Pokemon was following you to help you build something, they will automatically unfollow you once they finish the project.
