It’s not clear why the buddy feature never made it into the released game, but there has been suggestions older 3DS systems would struggle to maintain performance with the extra characters on screen.
Another theory is the buddies are to be included in the rumoured Pokemon Stars for Nintendo Switch, a version developed in parallel to Sun and Moon.
