Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
And preventing a KO, using paralysis, etc...
I'm not saying it's complicated, just don't pretend it's just throwing balls.
As an aside, I'm pretty sure Legendaries will be caught like in PoGo Raid Battles: first you defeat them, then you try to catch them. Otherwise, it would be terribly anticlimatic.
I think the best thing about these announcements are the fact that Pokemon as a franchise is going to fully embrace the Switch, which means that Nintendo will in the future most likely focus all their software teams on a single console. This should mean more 1st party games for everyone.
Game Freak better deliver on this 2019 game though, LGP/LGE seems like really safe rehashes.
Top down, no camera control, tile-based landscape - all features of a bygone era from the 90's. How people defend this crap from the behemoth franchise that is Pokemon is baffling to me.

So you spend 10 minutes fighting the gym? Just give me the badge.
30 hours to play the game??? Just skip me to the credits.
I thought so at first too, but the transfer is one way (only from GO to Let's Go) and the Psyduck caught in the Let's Go trailer still had a CP value
So it looks like the Pokedex descriptions are taken from Pokemon Yellow, which isn't terribly surprising.
This appears to be the pause menu. There are three options:
- Save your progress
- Take your Pokemon for a stroll
- Back to your adventure
Hopefully previous menu functions are assigned to other buttons (D-pad maybe?), because I find it hard to believe we wouldn't be able to access the bag or party screen in some way.

Yet here you are excited for a game with the same damn battle system. How curious.
Yeah this is what I was thinking too. I really hope it's not like "here's a legendary Pokemon that can destroy whole cities in the blink of an eye, just throw some balls at it for 20 minutes and it's yours forever!"
Is it weird that I kind of hope they stick to their guns on the new capture mechanic? Battling wild Pokémon always felt kind of tedious to me and I generally just threw Pokeballs without fighting anyway. Either that or just landing one attack before attempting. I think there's room for depth there if they expand on what Go does. Different capture "difficulties", different Poké balls, different Pokémon tendencies (moving, jumping, maybe using certain "attacks" in defense).
Probably not, if you're talking about traditional one
Id prefer that over the series dropping the audiences that following the game for more than 20 years tbh.
It's not like being annoyed at the removal of content it's unfair criticism, and having more Pokémon doesnt push younger kids away.

Ive never seen a thread where opinions are so split evenly down the middle. Waiting to see the battle system before I make judgement.
It's probably going to be a very easy start, but the best place to start the "classic" Pokémon experience is US/UM for 3DS. Classic gameplay with all the recent QoL updates and lots of Pokèmons to catch, far more than Let's Go.
The press release says late 2019.
I trust press release over "well known accounts"

I seriously doubt that's the only pause menu. That's probably more like the save menu.
Can you customize your character or is it just your dumb little head pet you can dress up? I would appreciate skin tone options if I was buying this thing.
Even better, a gutted battle system stripped back down to less than it was when the game first came out if the reworked stat thing is true
It's fascinating honestly.
"This game looks awful"
"This game looks great"
sums up the whole thread
I'm sort of thinking the games will play through most of the main campaign without having to battle wild Pokemon, but that would be weird on the Mewtwo encounter specifically.
So, at Mewtwo, here's a battle that you actually have to fight, then capture him. Thus having slowly worked players into knowing to weaken and capture Pokemon, past that you'd be able to do so, in the normal sense versus the Go-like way up to that point.

Exactly the same could be said for the new Go style system though. We probably have to use items to enhance catch rate we have to aim and we have to time the throw. Also there's probably the chance that the Pokemon will run away like in Go. It's different but not less involved than the old way imo.
So you have to fight it first separately before you can catch it. Whats the bloody point of that?
GF Employee #1: Hey we have a battle system where you can choose to fight and capture your Pokemon in one battle. Should we keep using that?
GF Employee #2: Nah lets have them battle that sucker then they can catch them after they beat them, to make it feel more rewarding.
GF Employee #1: Genius!!
Like whats the point of separating it into two battles when they had a system in place for doing it all in one. Makes no sense.
Then again this is GameFreak so it should be expected

This is the closest you're gonna get I believe

Yeah, there's got to be some other menu. Maybe that screen is simplified for the sake of the trailer and communicating the "take your Pokemon for a stroll" aspect of the Poke Ball? There's gotta be a way to access items, party, Pikachu/Eevee dress up, the petting thing etc.
I guess my biggest worry is the fact that it can seem overwhelming when there are SO many Pokemon to catch in the later game and I tend to be a completionist. Also...I don't have a 3DS.
were you fine with them releasing Ultra Sun and Moon which was very similar to the first games but with 5 new Pokemon and some story stuff?
Wouldn't surprise me if random battles are gone from next year's Pokemon as well tbh. Of all the changes you see requested in Pokemon games, this is probably the biggest one. Most people just play Pokemon with constant repels on anyway.
Seems like the battle system is the same more or less. The battles in fairness do look fantastic from the footage.

Nah I have a feeling it'll be more like Pokemon GO raids, where you battle the legendary Pokemon and defeat it, then have a chance to catch it. I don't think there will be any traditional weakening of wild Pokemon this time around. They want everyone to be able to catch everything, they don't want you to accidentally KO the Pokemon and miss your one chance.
It's not a lot really, you can only actually catch a set amount.
I think it's just the Charizard animation by hovering over the ground.
I was... not excited about it last night but I've warmed up to it as of this morning. I understand the implementation of the Go features but I feel like I'm going to miss wild battles. I hope there's plenty of trainer battles to make up for it. I also hope CP doesn't completely replace traditional leveling/evolution but we'll see. Also, Eevee version for sure.
There are only so many pokemon in each title, the rest come over from older games that people use pokemon bank for or online trading if they don't have the older games
No clue. I got the impression that what we saw in the trailer was just the "ride" mechanic rather than the HM replacement stuff. I'd be surprised if Fly did anything besides warping you to another area.
The more I see the trailer and reading the infos from the event, the more my excitement grows. What we get is a fresh take without calling it a mainline entry, and next year we get a brand new mainline game. What I hope is, since they only presented new features in the trailer, people will calm a little when they focus a little more on the core mechanics and showing gameplay next to the gimmicks.
GF need to clarify this. If they are changing a core mechanic they should have explained it ASAP.
I think I read in a tweet somewhere that, if the Pokemon in the lead slot of your party is big enough to ride, you'll automatically ride it.
Ok, would you only be able to catch as many as are introduced in that particular gen?
"Game footage in this video is not final"
thank god... it looks great at times, but other times...
