So, your starter follows you around now?

 

Interesting. Also, my limited knowledge of Japanese suggests that no valuable information can be derived from their commentary, which was mostly just "awesome! cool! cute!" etc. Anyone pick anything deeper out of that?

Yeah, that was pretty much it. They were all impressed and surprised that Chikorita was following Satoshi around, and went on about how awesome it was for 30 seconds :P

Take another look. They are saying that Chikorita is following the player character around just like Pikachu follows Satoshi/Ash. They weren't calling the player character Satoshi.
