Sure, but I guess what I'm not sure of is what you enjoy about battling wild Pokémon? I just can't remember an instance where wild Pokémon aside from maybe legendary encounters were fun or memorable in any way.
It's worldbuilding. It teaches the battle system. It helps maintain everything. The structure, the concept.
This sums up how I feel as well. Only reason I ever got into wild battles was to catch new Pokémon, and having to wait for the rng was annoying. Now I can just pick what encounter I want.
Yeah, I don't get this. Many of the people who played Red and Blue in its heyday were kids at the time and had no issues. I don't see why today's kids have to be treated like brain-dead idiots Who are incapable of any challenge whatsoever.
I was 7 when I played Yellow, and it was so thrilling to go on a journey alone, with your trusty Pikachu, with the menace of wild pokemons at every turn. Kids today will be missing that experience. I think as gens have been going, the journey has become so accesible, that some people has come to see it as a a nuisance, and removing wild battles is not the solution, but the next step.
I feel Let's Go l;ooks like a mobile game in the worst ways and a step back from S/M in every way besides rendering resolution, so I really hope not.
Do note that the below is not based on insider knowledge and is rather a theory of mine
It's world building because the whole reason you're not allowed into the tall grass without a Pokémon is because you'll be attacked
I'm kind of hopeful it has the opposite effect where it's like, okay we have this entire game based around casual gameplay, so now we can take on more complicated mechanics and game structure in Gen 8.
Makes sense. They had no confidence in the Switch at the start, eventually got on board sometime between 2016 and 2017 before E3 2017 to get Gen 8 on it, and Lets Go was for all intents and purposes, something that literally no one should have known about, as it was not the game announced at E3 last year. As a mobile only Spin Off franchise to Pokemon proper on the Switch things just make a ton of sense.
They said it wont influence gen 8 just becasue the game is already in development, if this sell well it could influence next gens =/.
Nah I don't think so. Even a year or so ago I was thinking that a Kanto remake of sorts would be a great way for Game Freak to get a handle on Switch development before moving on to a fully new title and that's what I think this is. I'm fairly confident this was always meant to be a Switch title.
Random encounters aren't necessarily bad. Hell, technically this is random encounters. A Pokémon spawns and has X% chance of being Kakuna or Oddish or Caterpie etc. and then will leave and a new one spawns etc.
Same. This plus following Pokémon and the ride system NEED to become standards going forward. Will be amazing with bigger maps.
seems that way. Cheapest way overall is with best buy's gamer's club unlocked if you have it, the 20% off is still valid on the bundle there
It absolutely 1000% was a problem.
they basically refused to comment at the initial q&a nothing else has been said since.
