Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Wasn't this....kind of self-evident, though?
Especially with the 'mainline still on track for 2019' put-out-any-fires announcement.
Where on earth is "no wild battles" coming from? The trailer literally shows wild battles and wild Pokémon roaming.
I don't know what to believe anymore but no online is horrible if true
You can encounter them but you dont battle them. You catch them like in pokemon go.
But the Lapras picture must be fake. Gamefreak would never go back to tile based/grid-like overworlds after Sun/Moon.
/s
You don't battle them, you only capture them by throwing pokeballs at them like in Pokemon Go
Nintendo put button controls in ARMS. I'm confident you won't have to do motion if you don't want to
So this is a full fledged RPG, but not *the* Pokemon RPG, kind of like a sequel to Pokemon Go while the sequel for Pokemon Sun/Moon is next year.
I'm fine with that, truthfully I'd be worried if Gen 8 is this year because that's a very short development time for what should be an ambitious game.

Nah, this is just a spin-off. The actual core games are coming next year.
No?
Quick Ball: 5X On First Turn of The Battle
Repeat Ball 3X If Caught Previously
Lure Ball 5X fishing
Dusk Ball 3.5X In Cave or At Night
This isn't the mainline game that was announced at E3 last year. That game is coming next year: https://www.resetera.com/threads/an...evelopment-for-the-second-half-of-2019.45650/
Hello darkness, my old friend...
Traditional battles are there, just not for wild Pokémon.
not beating up wild Pokemon to grind/catch and tossing away your starter "friend" are the best things the game has.
I expect the traditional game to still be as questionable as ever though

Finally saw the trailer. It was pretty underwhelming.
It's pretty blatantly trying to appeal to Pokemon Go players but I'm not sure how successful TPC expects this to be. It's certainly not going to sell more than a traditional Pokemon game but maybe do pretty well measured against spin-offs. When this was just rumored I was pretty down on it because a $60 game that you need a $300 console for isn't going to be appealing to people who downloaded Pokemon Go for free, especially when this game is going to play very similar to Pokemon Go, which again, these people already own for free. The Pokemon brand is really strong and has incredible marketing so I'm sure it'll sell just fine, but I don't see this as something that could overtake the more traditional games.

You cannot battle wild pokemon. Wild pokemon encounters works like in Pokemon GO.
The graphics are...interesting. Sometimes they look nice and other times you become well aware they're essentially 3DS models with nicer textures. I think what they've done is perfected the "look" for the 3D games. The world looks nice and colorful, there's actual lighting, and the pokemon don't look oversaturated. Now they just need to vastly improve the non-pokemon models and it'll look amazing. I'm guessing Gen 8 will go back to more normal proportions
Pokemon in wild initiate a catching sequence. You don't battle it to lower itself health and capture it. It's like GO. Battles only happen with NPC's.
If this gets access to Pokebank, is everyone who said this wasn't a mainline game willing to use a Pikachu or Eevee avatar for a month?
The tweet said gyro controls while in handheld mode. So you would be moving the whole system to search for the Pokémon and then pressing a button to throw the ball once you've found them.
It does look pretty good in a lot of these shots.The graphics are...interesting. Sometimes they look nice and other times you become well aware they're essentially 3DS models with nicer textures.

Looks and sounds like a pretty easy skip for me unless there is some insane amount of single player content outside of being a straight up remake of Yellow.
You can put your starter in your box which is now located in your bag
Ahh okay, I guess the more 'plastic' model kinda threw me off lol.
I'm legit confused about this game. I meant there are no traditional battles with wild Pokémon. But thanks for the clarification anyways.
Haven't played USUM, 'cause, you know. Too much story, way too story focused progression and the same old, unchallenging battles against wild pokemon. At least I figured it would be that way, based of my experience with Sun abd Moon - Anyway, catching legendaries was way too easy in the past. Basically you landed one or two attacks and then you throw 3 Balls or something like that. If you don't know how to make these battles exiting, then yeah - i'm open for change. Can't be much worse.
Can y'all explain this perception to me? It seems to be normal proportions, your characters are just younger/shorter than usual.
