Because many people play with the Pro Controller, it's not like it's going to require a touch screen or actually "throwing" the ball with complicated motion.
It's almost certainly optional

I wasn't a fan of gen 7, but I don't see how the ride system constrains the game. It's really just the same as having HMs, but not forcing you to have an HM slave. I think the game being linear and easy was not a fault of using the ride system.
Also, we literally don't know anything about the Go integration besides that it exists.

I've been fiending for a formula shake up so I'm willing to hear the whole picture before going into hysterics.
If this is all true, I wonder what the business objective with this game is, save for selling a bunch more Pokémon games and Nintendo systems. Feels like it's could be a test bed for Gen 8?

Sure, it could turn out to be great, and if it does, my initial reaction was wrong.
But we don't know what it will be, yet.
Not with Nintendo games, but yes
Who knows
it's the last time I'm teasing or leaking anything in this board
Motion control when docked is gonna be the same annoyance it was in Odyssey.
Does that mean you can lose pokeballs too if you miss like in Go?

So what is the implication here regarding catch mechanics? That a wild Pokemon appears on the screen, and we're supposed to just use the touch screen to throw Pokeballs at it until we catch it?
What if we're playing with the Switch docked?
Interesting. Guess we'll see how this pans out.
Great avatar, by the way.
You're saying that as if this was Pokemon GO on a console. At least wait to see it.
You know... If the stuff in this tweet actually does wind up being true, I don't think I'd be all that against it. It sounds like everything outside of catching wild Pokémon would be similar to Sun and Moon, which is fine with me. I hope the catching system wouldn't be completely like in Go, but a system mechanically similar to it doesn't entirely turn me off. I'm not quite sure how they could get it to work on a Switch... unless they made the game portable-only because of the touch screen, without letting you play it docked.
And I'll be totally honest: I'm all for a return to Kanto. I definitely want them to continue moving the series forward with new regions, but for its first HD outing, I'm completely fine with them doing a remake of sorts. It'll be great to see places like Pallet Town and Celadon City in HD— again, if the rumor is true.
I guess I'll just keep playing Gold on my 3DS then
I was hoping this one would get me back into Pokemon but not interested in it based on leaks

Why the fuck would they change the catch mechanic to the pokemon go version? It was straight trash without any challenge in GO. As someone completely out of GO since a year + back, having this being tied to GO as a selling point is hilariously weird and offputting. Not to even mention how it's a remake of yellow...
I can't get more dissapointed, but I can understand why they went for this. It fits with their earlier comment of brining back players who haven't played their games for a long time. Getting that gen 1 demographic that went back for the nostalgia in GO and now easing them back into a "real" pokemon game.

Either through traditional buttons or motion control...
Don't know how else they could do it
Motion controls at the screen?
I think the Pro controller has motion too, just flick the controller up, I guess.
There's a shrinking circle over the Pokémon indicating with the colour how easy it is to catch (green = easy <--yellow--orange--> red = very hard), you flick the pokéball with your finger and can give it several effects, like spinning it beforehand, or do a curve-ball that gives you a higher chance. If you let the circle shrink and still manage to "hit" inside it, you get even more bonus points, and Pokémon sometimes move around or do stuff and moves that "cancels" your throw like slapping the ball away.
I'm more excited now than before.
Glad to know that they are trying to do some things differently. We have had decades of the same old formula. Time to move on.
Now to wait and see if it looks and runs like shit lol.

Catching in the main games hasn't ever really been a challenge either, but rather a test of patience. You do have to prep for some of them, but you have to do that to a degree in Go too (by saving up berries and better Pokeballs). The challenging part has always been finding the Pokemon to catch.
Unless they drastically enhance the base mechanics from Pokémon it'll be a massive step back in quality. Obviously if the reveal shows some of these rumors to be overblown then my opinion can change.
