It's been 6 months since Sidekicks were added: they need to have their own Game Mode
I love when games have a pet mechanic-- I was a Pokemon/Digimon/Tamagotchi/Medabots kid growing up. I was even following updates on the Sidekicks since they were first rumored. And now I finally have what I wanted most: a droid Sidekick. It makes for some cool Fort-ography with my custom Mando. Buuut there's just nothing there for them. So far the only splash they've made is the bad PR of locking in the styles.
When vehicles were introduced, Rocket Racing was added. Even the Fall Guys was added with their game mode. What Sidekicks really need is their own game mode. They could go the Pokemon route and have a battle mechanic, or like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, we could control the Sidekicks. Or they could do something like Nintendogs and be able to take care of them as true digital pets. The rumored Neopets collab could be a great introductory to a new game mode where you could at least play minigames with them.
Let me know what you'd like out of the Sidekicks!
