Nope. They explicitly said this is not the core game that was announced last year, that that one is the one coming out next year, which began development before the Switch and Pokemon GO even released.

Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Gutting the game would be removing trainer battles, leveling up, team building, in a rpg overworld story and setting.
None of that was gutted.
Well, it's not going to happen sadly. Pokémon will keep doing incremental upgrades and that's it.
Also, PS1 game, really? Have you seen PS1 games? Not even PS2 has real-time shadows and illumination like LGP/LGE. And I'm not even talking about the polygon count.
They haven't really said much on that subject, but the trailer and site shows that regular trainer battles are still present. It also shows trainers in the same spots on various routes from the original games. Battles appear to have the same set of four moves to choose from, as well as the normal levels/HP system.
pokemon lets go is def going to be a side series after this.....why are people complaining when a gen 8 will be out later
Remember how CoD was a franchise exclusive to handhelds and in about 1 year's time moved to home consoles with a brand new engine with cutting edge graphics?
Yeah, me neither.
EAs sports games have also been total garbage every time they move to a new console.
They can do rarity easy. Just only have the Pokemon on the overworld be procedurally generated with rares having a low chance of showing up. That way I don't have to fight mg way through an armed of Pidgeys and Rattatas to get what I want. I can just walk away and reload the map instead
It's not guaranteed, games aren't just graphics there are million ways you can screw it up, and Pokémon games are REALLY good even though they all look outdated compared to other titles.
Again you keep assuming Pokémon would stay this successful or even more with other devs when it's not true, and the proof is that you don't have other examples like Pokémon, if the other companies are that much better they would have made their own better version of Pokémon already.
Yo-Kai Watch as nice and cute as it is, it's nowhere near as big as Pokémon.
Secret of Mana remake is really bad, and worse than the original game (cause it slowed down the gameplay with the loading times), this one is not that bad and still major improvement from a 3DS game, let's be honest.
What? i'm liking it a lot, considering it's a free to play game, so it should be full of crap and it is far from the mainline series anyway.
It's a nice side-game to play.
It really isn't, it's been explained in-game several times as Pokemon wanting you to prove how skilled you are to them or just straight up looking for a fight with you. Hell the anime explained this too, how did you not know this?
From a mechanics perspective I find literally nothing interesting about just using an item to build my team nor do I ever want to engage with motion controls.
As a Fake Pokemon Fan, I'm excited that they're putting something more streamlined out there while they take their time with the next generation. I've got about 25 hours in Ultra Moon and it's not a very fun video game.
There's no guarantee that stuff from this game won't start seeping into the regular games, especially when this sells a lot
No, not a joke. In red/green the majority of battles were that of player vs wild pokemon rather than player vs trainer. It depends where in the game you are, but I'm sure encounters easily quadruple the battles in the game. While we don't know how pokemon level up in Let's Go, if it is like Go, it means you will be spending a lot of time catching and merging pokemon, the majority of this game, just like the preview video will be you throwing your joycon.
I don't believe so. They probably will (I don't see any reason they wouldn't, since we do have confirmation of NPC trainer battles and Team Rocket being in the game, so it would be weird if Gym Leaders weren't), but I don't believe we have any actual hard confirmation of that yet.
I am not misleading. They said that the one they announced at E3 was the 2019 title.
LGP/LGE are mainline too.
Thanks for replying. There was too much wet dreams posts about the new game for those 100 pages it was kinda difficult to find that.
Well, I already told you why your comparison to AC made no sense at all. Capcom, a particularly talented and large scale developer (I think the total people working there is close to 3k) of big budget console games, started MHW 4 years ago.
I consider Bottlecaps part of the borderline insane process to reach competitive Pokemon.
It's a rare item that you can't buy AND it requires the huge time sink of leveling up to 100 in the games were leveling up to 100 has never been harder.
In the same vein, natures have a huge influence on stats, way more than IV, and there is no sure way to get non-breedable Pokemon with the nature you want. Synchronize doesn't work 100% of the time for some reason, so if you're unlucky, reset your console and better luck next time.
Insane.
That's exactly my point.
I totally agree with you: they made those choices (IVs, days & nights) to make things more real, but it's less fun.
At least, the day/night thing is purely cosmestic. I wish I had seen Alola by day though.
It's gonna be funny watching Mewtwo just stand there and glare at you while you repeatedly pelt him with Poke Balls.
I meant it more in the sense that it's not as visually cluterered as the Mario and Kirby screenshots and both Zelda and Xenoblade have very samey colour palettes and noticable problems with textures compared to the other games.
Oh thank goodness. I'm really curious about how a gen 1 meta is gonna go with gen 7 mechanics plus whatever they change about the Pokemon this time around. Online battling should be interesting that way.
Agreed, lots of reason to think Pokemon games may finally evolve after being stagnant for 20 years.
I think that's a good assumption and if you watch the press conference, they are more leaning into that.
They want to blend everything together, so Go users can finally play the mainline series and they can bring back old fans who used to play Red, Blue or Yellow.
This is not, a new side-series or a spin-off, they called Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee Core RPG too.
Can you provide a link for confirmation please? It's hard to find anything in a sea of people telling other people they don't actually like Pokemon for wanting this game.
By this point I dont see a big reason to be that upset. They announced a traditional core game for next year. If anything this could go down as the best spinoff for pokemon games along side Pokemon Snap.
Sure i wish it was traditional, but it looks good for what it is. I think i will be ok waiting one more year. Its not as if this is the future of the core franchise, and Gamefreak seems to know this which is why they announced a core title for next year to keep people calm.
Can you imagine if they didnt announce the core title next year? People would have been going out of their minds.

Oh wait, that's not what the quote I saw said. If that's the case then that's perfectly fine. Is it essentially aiming and then pressing a button to throw? That seems way easier than using the joycon in docked mode then.
No, it's 2018 and outlets are reporting that you have to shake the Switch in handheld mode to throw a Pokeball. Nobody said it was gyro aiming like in BotW, which is perfectly fine.
That said, if it's just gyro aiming there should at least be an option for right stick aiming too.
No confirmation yet, but you can see Pewter Gym in the trailer.
This thread
I forgot the protagonist in X&Y had facial expression.
I'm starting to think the SuMo protag had a blank face just because he was so very stupid.Or jetlagged.
How has this evolved the series again compared to every other title?
Lol there's far more changes to the series in Sun and Moon than there is in Let's Go, but continue this train of thought if you want even though it's full of shit.
Ah okay wow, that definitely alleviates my concerns.
Now I can safely say day one!
Reducing team/enemy variety in more than 75% to catter yo the audiences of a F2P game and people who only liked the first game doesnt sound smart.
Just throwing Pokeballs and catching Pokémon isn't very fun. What made Pokemon on the handhelds fun was battles. Getting the Pokémon weak then throwing a Pokeball.
I'm all for making the games more accessible but I don't think this is the way to do it as it alienates their core Pokémon's fans in favor of the casual Go crowd who may not even own a Switch.
If a post with a negative opinion on the game would have included language like this we'd be two pages further. But it was completely ignored.
This is what's on the official site:
So it seems like we can either use gyro or just press a button. None of the shots from the trailer seemed to suggest having to "aim" in any way.
That's not the protagonist. He's not wearing a hat so it's the NPC in the group of friends. The actual PC in that screenshot is Serena, on the side with her hat, and most likely the blankest facial expression you can think of.
There's a reason they're removing ranked battles, don't expect this to be balanced.
Good lord, this sounds like exactly the kind of elitism you're railing against. A lot of us were there with cards and gen 1 games - a pissing contest isn't going to achieve anything.
Perhaps instead of any one group laying claim to a game we should recognise that this game is for both old players and new players, and that both groups are likely to have people react positively, negatively, and mixed.
