An all-new core series Pokémon RPG title is coming to Switch in Late 2019
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
Makes total sense and my guess is this will be the new big Pokemon game, despite Let's go being already big enough on its own
GF most likely had no time to release Gen 8 this year but needed to release a Switch game asap
A remake doesn't take as much time to develop, so Let's GO is a great idea to have people playing Pokemon on Switch and create a huge userbase before releasing Gen 8

Yup. I really wanted them to spend more time on Gen 8, and they did it! Plus we get a decent-looking spinoff in the interim. Game Freak working way too hard rn, lol.
eh, we'll get remakes eventually and it'll probably be better that they are part of Gen 8/9 than Gen 7.
I'm looking forward to what engine changes they'll do once they utilize the full power of a console.

Nope, Game Freak made it clear that Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon were the last mainline Pokémon games that the 3DS will ever get.
This is really smart honestly. Imagine how different things would have been if Nintendo followed up Federation Force with "Also, we are making Prime 4" in 2015.
This is basically the only thing stopping Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee from being an unmitigated disaster. Well that and the fact that those games look super low budget.
It's good that they basically seem to be viewing Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee as spinoffs.

Thank god. I would've been perfectly fine if the Let's Go games had all the Pokemon, but splitting them between "casual" and core is ok too.
so from what I can gather, pokemon let's go series is to ween people from playing Go on their phones to being real pokemon players, and then the 2019 title is the real core game they are hoping to adapt everyone on to. I just really hope it's a fucking massive production with botw quality graphics and open world. shit could be incredible if they don't half ass it
Nah we got saved if they would've used this style for a sinnoh remake I would have lost it
Nah, the longer it takes to get 4th gen remakes the better they could theoretically look.

Let's Go is mainline, but they also let us know that (what we assume is) a more traditional Gen 8 is on the way.
Great move by Nintendo, and Gamefreak. More casual title this year, and taking more time for the RPG launching in 2019.
What is a real Pokemon? Were FRLG, HGSS and ORAS not real?
No it's not. Announcing the 2019 game might kill any momentum the games announced today will have. Very bad business wise.
I struggle to consider a Yellow remake with a restricted dex a "real" Pokemon game when the alternative was... literally anything else.
No it will not. The people who normally don't give a shit are super excited, the super fans will buy everything, and the super fans that would otherwise be pissed can know they're not abandoned. It's literally the smartest thing they could have done.
It's gonna be a shit show just like this thread when it turns out gen 8 gonna have go features as well.
