Micro-transactions I assume is what you are talking about?
To make Origins, they had to stop releasing yearly ACs. CoD is the same game every year. FIFA is the same game every year. Don't say they innovate, 'cause they don't.
It's a trojan horse my first pokemon to bait go players and lapsed fans into a switch and the main game next year
I mean it's just a gentle flip of your Switch/controller.
Quite intuitive I'd say.
Don't mislead people. This is the core game they were talking about last year. Maybe it's difficult to accept it, but it is what it is.
Every Pokemon game is tailor-made to pull in new and lapsed fans.
I don't know, it sure seems like that is part of their intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have cut wild battles and made capturing and battling completely seperate things like Go. We are saying the same thing, you're just saying it nicer than I am.
That doesn't have anything to do the really bad point you attempted to make and random battles =/= a lack of being able to fight wild Pokemon.
Though to be fair I don't really get how you do rarity with Pokemon exclusively on the overworld. Seems like you would have to do both.
Assasins Creed has 7 different teams rotating on different projects...
Well the VS Seeker was a thing in FRLG, I reckon they might just bring it back.
BOTW equivalent pokemon with 800+ monsters to model, hundreds of attacks and full blown current gen assets is a pipe dream for this franchise. Nintendo isn't going to multiply their costs 4x (probably closer to 10) for no appreciable gain in sales. Lets be real.
Pokemon isn't a franchise just on the brink of selling 50m units. Nothing would justify the cost increase.
Game Freak said during the Q & A that it wasn't and that the 2019 game has been in development for longer than the Switch has been on the market. (Probably around 2016)
Guys, it's ok to have opinions about things. You're entitled to it.
What's not ok is to be dismissive about people who think differently than you.
There are people here being extremely obnoxious over an OPTION that TPC will put on the market.
Your product will still come next year, and nobody is being private of your personal preferences.

Considering the things that are being cheered on in this thread, I doubt it.
Oops, I missed the thread about it. Thanks!
yet another gen 1 remake but this time even more dumbed down is hardly a different thing
Is there a link to that?
I don't get why people here try to say this game is in the same category as the classic mainline series.
To the people that insist on using the touch screen over the gyro in handheld mode: this is a bad answer, but I think it's because there's no vertical movement involved in the throwing mechanics. Everything from the conference last night makes it look like you're only options are to throw directly forward or anywhere left and right. I imagine it would be hard to have more precise throwing than that with the joycon, and I think they probably don't want to.
Why not slide the pokeball in the direction you want to throw it in? Who knows. Maybe they want it to be less noticeable that you have less control than in the GO.

The don't need to innovate, they need to create a game that doesn't look like a PS1 game emulated in HD.
It's embarrasing, i don't understand why the technical bar of the franchise is so damn low, and just to clarify, i don't expect an open world or a reboot, just look at Monster Hunter World compared to Generations, that's the kind of leap i want and the core games need.
As of now I'm out on this game. I'm pretty sure come November I'll be pulled into the hype train and reconsider. It's just not the game I was looking for. Especially when I already own Pokemon Blue on the DS. Pokemon Go catching style isn't the kind of console Pokemon I was hoping for.
That and the multiplayer, at least they're getting somewhere.

They're called random battles for a reason. Fighting your allies is dumb from a logical perspective. So the Pokemon you accidentally faint, you have to leave behind because you can't catch them? It's dumb.
In yesterday's Q&A they said the game presented on E3 is the one that releases next year. You're the one misleading people with that.
But the point is... can they? I don't see many people attracted by this premise sticking around for long (not even for another "Let's Go XXXXXX" title) after A-mashing and steamrolling through the story mode in this game in 10 hours and flicking their wrist to capture the 300th Zubat before realising there's no meat at all on it.
I guess it's times like these that I can be relieved, as a 41 year old gamer, that I was too old for Pokémon when it first came out in 1996.
Not to this degree, they gutted the underside of the game to truly simplify it to prevent new or super old lapsed fans from being overwhelmed
They've been working on Gen 8 since Sun/Moon released.
It's possible they might've referred to both games, but they weren't just referring to Let's Go.
The only thing different about Let's Go in comparison to Sun and Moon is the following Pokemon, the lack of wild battles, the local co-op, 151 only, Kanto remake, and the Pokemon Go style catching of wild Pokemon. Only two of those things are actual good differences.
Dang, so if the trainers are all super weak and have less pokemon than usual, that more than anything is a pretty big deterrent for me. The games are easy now but if you turn off exp. share and the switch function they can still be a comfortable challenge. If I'm able to do all that and still sleep through it because the battles are easy I'll be hella bummed
Motion controls are not mandatory, and you may use buttons if you choose to. It says as much on the official website under "Catching Made Easy".
I don't think it really matters what game they were talking about last year, there's a core RPG launching in 2019 which hits the initial 2018/2019 release window.
Looks great, sure it's not a "true core game" but it is a fully realized Pokemon game, in HD, on a main console. Remember folks the main tagline of Pokemon has always been "Gotta catch 'em all" not gotta, fight 'em all.
Not at all, not in Pokémon's case anyway. I love the surprise aspect, never knowing what I'll find, and not only not knowing what specific Pokémon I'm about to (or not about to) find, but also never knowing if it's Shiny or not on top of that.
Just seeing them all visible on the overworld instead takes away a lot of that "surprise" aspect for me, and along with it, a lot of my personal fun and immersion. Just isn't the same, always just being "what you see is what you get" instead, y'know? The surprise aspect is a lot of what makes finding and trying to catch Pokémon, well, Pokémon for me.
And when I'm tired of searching for stuff and just don't want to get into any random battles period? Well, that's what Repels are there for. The main games just have it all for me.
And if I end up playing these games, I know that at least personally, I'll end up missing that particular aspect of them and even if it's more "realistic" or whatever to see Pokémon on the overworld, losing that surprise aspect will really hurt it, at least for me.
'Cause okay, if that still doesn't make sense. Consider random encounters like opening presents or something (EDIT: ooh, or even better, like opening a pack of trading cards or something like that, and the feeling you have before you open it, wondering what you could get). Each time, you never know just what it is exactly you're going to find. Seeing them on the overworld instead, is just like, your presents never get wrapped and you're just told, and you never get to actually enjoy that for yourself y'know, if that makes any sense at all.
It, like only goes for Pokémon for me, and it doesn't really make sense for any other RPG out there. But at least in Pokémon's case, random battles are great, and I'll definitely miss them here.
Seriously, the game was just announced yesterday and more details are yet to come, but people are already jumping at many conclusions: Mandatory motion, weakened challenges, cakewalk catching. Seriously, relax.
We still have battles, just not not in the wild. Something is sure to change in order to compensate the lack of battling with wild Pokémon. And just because catching is now different from battling, doesn't mean that catching won't have fun or some degree of strategy.
OP
OP
Game Freak are a relatively small developer who were still working on GBA level hardware when the rest of the world was in full swing with HD development. You have to be realistic about their capabilities.
Their first game with full 3D graphics came out less than 5 years ago.
