Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
This doesn't look, play or is named like a main series game *shrug*
Thank god! This was my biggest worry, I am so in.
I can easily live without wild Pokemon battles, but no online would have been a much bigger issue for me.
Interesting. Them saying Masuda said it in a Q&A session is pretty convincing.
I'm a little bit mixed on these games.
They look fantastic and it's cool seeing Kanto in HD for the first time.
Having a local co-op option is brilliant and it's cool that you can play the game with one joy con.
One brand new Pokémon is a nice surprise.
I'm not keen on being limited to only Kanto Pokémon (I was thinking about using an Eeveelution team in the Eevee version)
I'm not keen on the very simplified catching mechanics.
I'm not keen on wild Pokémon being seen in the overworld as it ruins the surprise that random encounters offer.
It looks like this is just an updated version of Yellow's Kanto which means no Sevii Islands and that's very disappointing.
I still think that these games will be fun and it's nice to know that Gen 8 is coming next year.

Looks like they designed this game to be a single stick experience, so much that they designed a single stick controller.
I already feel like I'm going to be punished for not having got into the Pokémon Go craze because I didn't like the gameplay, and this borrowing the capture mechanic from that game isn't something that I'm a fan of, even if the rest does seem much more fleshed out.
But I guess I'm not the target audience for this game. I'll wait for more news (Pokemon Box compatibility?), reviews, and maybe a price drop.

This looks like everything I wanted it to be, and my daughter is going to love it. Can't wait.
I don't get why people are mad if a "proper" Pokémon game is confirmed to be coming as well.
It's slightly annoying it's not this year though

Unknown. But we know levels are in, and you can battle trainer the same way you always could, so you can probably level via them at least (it's how I did all my leveling in previous games). But yeah, taking out the option to battle random pokémon means they need to have a vs seeker or something pretty early on in the game to allow for repeat trainer battles, I think.
Except it's literally a remake of Yellow, and it looks like it, and uses the mainline series exclusive titling of "Pocket Monsters"?
It has more in common with a traditional Pokémon game than with GO.
You know how this site goes. The worst is assumed right off the bat. It can only go up from here, I think...

It is double edged. It is great early game when you can quick grind your low levels by having one bigger pokemon who is strong to whatever is in the area and then rotate out lowbies but later when you are just trying to find something with limited time and getting jumped every few steps by stuff that is so low it does nothing for you.
It is like in mmos when you get swarmed constantly by grey levels when you just want to get somewhere.
Now if random battles scaled to match what was in your group no matter where you are that would be different. At least xp would be worth it or the risk would be worth popping repels for

Considering it was coming out with the bombshell of dissapointing news (151, forced motion controls) it didn't seem to be that unbelievable but still in hindsight it was odd that we took it at face value.
If the 2019 game is the console rpg that some of us have been waiting for, and not just handheld pokemon with a prettier layer of paint on it, then I'm perfectly fine with this.Buuuut If the 2019 game is just like this, but the normal new region and gen of pokemon, and whatever else, then I'm waving goodbye to any plans of maybe getting a Switch. I just don't have an interest in playing through this decade old gameplay loop at this point
Top down views aren't inherently outdated, they're a stylistic choice. And if you think that trailer looks like a PS2 game, you should go play some PS2 games because your nostalgia is making you crazy.
I mean when someone who was at the event literally said there was no online, I think people can be forgiven for believing it.
Gen 1 pokemon is oversaturated and have been here for the longest time. Why are people crazy for not thinking they are the best? Theres 800 odd pokemon in the whole series meaning theres a wide range that isnt available. Not everyone likes the OG 151.
Of course I can decide what to call it. It doesn't matter what a company says in their pr, we know what is and isn't something. If this is the route the Pokemon company takes the series, then the main line Pokemon games are simply no more and sun/moon were the last of their kind. The fact this game even has Go in the title is very telling of what it's supposed to be building off of .
This is honestly all i want confirmed. I can take everything else long as i can still battle.
I agree, same thing with the 3DS having a top-down zelda when even the 64 could use a real camera.
Its almost as if its a design choice and not a hardware limitation.
I didnt said visually, I said in term of gameworld.
Because you know on PS2 you had JRPGs like Dragon Quest VIII or Final Fantasy XII.
Maybe it's time tim Pokemon to stop playing like a 2D game. More than ever.
Ye I normally level by battling wild Pokémon especially early on in the game.
I thought you didn't anything about the what these games would be ;p
You can put a hat on Pikachu! You can put glasses on Eevee! How can anyone hate this game?
Asking you to choose between the two is pretty evil, though.

The fact that it's a "Pocket Monsters" game instead of a "Pokémon" game is more telling.
I saw that a long time ago, but I was "overthinking" it back then.
Let's be realistic, something like that needs more time to cook, which is why they went with this. I don't want a rushed new gen.
I mean, multiple outlets, including very reliable ones like Serebii, reported there wouldn't be at first because they were only going on the best information they had at the time. And then there was a lot of confusion and back and forth over whether stuff was mistranslated or not.
Now, at the current time, it seems most parties involved have settled on the likely event that these games will have online and anything saying otherwise was a mistranslation and that's all been cleared up, but there's very good reason people were confused/skeptical. It wasn't pulled out of thin air or anything.
one of them even said there is online battles and trades, and then minutes later corrected himself saying there aren't.
You can't blame them on this
Having not played Pokemon Go, I can't honestly say how I feel about the changes. If the core battling is there, and the overworld is good and fun to explore I'll probably have a great time regardless.
Irrespective of my personal take, this seems likely to be a sure-fire success. If they do a pack-in Switch SKU for Christmas it'll be carnage in stores trying to get hold of one.

A design choice because GF cant be bothered to make an ambitious title.
Like all Nintendo's mobile titles the aim is to give people a taste of their IP and get them interested in the main series on their gaming hardware. Pokemon Go got a lot of people interested in Pokemon again. Let's Go is trying to migrate them to a more complex experience that brings the traditional structure with the more simplified mechanics of Go. If they enjoy that then perhaps they will be interested in the full fat Pokemon experience that will come with generation 8 in 2019.
I think people are underestimating just how huge the Pokemon Go audience is. If they can capture even a sliver of that market with the Switch games then they will make more money than they ever have before. It's flippant to say that because none of the previous core games achieved anything close to Go's success, that there is no point trying. Nintendo is always trying to bring new and lapsed players to it's IPs.
Oh well glad I wasn't there during that time of uncertainty.
