Probably figures there'd be some backlash to let's Go so they wanted to get away of it for fans who don't care as much about Gen 1 nostalgia. Makes me feel a lot better since I don't care for what the Let's Go games look like.

After this announcement I'm not sure I'd classify it that way. This Tweet sort of reads like an admission that they're spin-offs.
I suppose I'll reserve final judgment until I see more of Let's Go, but for now I'm leaning more towards spin-off.
I will admit that this may partially be me trying to re-frame Let's Go into something that makes me less mad at it, though.
Lets go! Is not the game mentioned at E3 last year? Holy fuck, if they got that out in a year without much planning, I can only imagine what Gen 8 will be like.
Oh man, the thread would be legendary. Id be part of the group having a meltdown though...
Haha, they absolutely knew the hardcore fans were going to assume this was the next mainline game and be pissed.
How is LGP/LGE a mainline game? This looks clearly like a Spin-Off to me - either that or I'm really confused right now...
Like they say it's Yellow, but who's to say that it isn't a FRLG remake in disguise? With Sevil islands and bonus shit at the end?

Can't wait for the next set of fake starters to appear.
Also if I'm getting this right Lets go wasn't the title they were talking about last year but this one?

Hardly.
Pokemon is a heavy hitter but sadly Metroid isn't. I'd love for Prime 4 to be the Awakening of the Fire Emblem franchise but I'm not counting on it. It'll sell well enough but not gonna be a success on that level of pokemon or BotW
LMAO. Can't wait for the "Pokemon Let's Go sells 20 millions of copies" news :D
Thank God.
I mean i'm ok with the Let's Go titles. It is a great introduction/bridge for those Go players into Pokemon RPG.
But as a long time player of the RPGs I was disappointed by the whole Yellow Remake thing. It has "Gen 1" written all over it.
I wanted something new. Even if it was Kanto 100 years later.
I'm still going to buy Let's Go Pikachu.
It should be a good filler until the real Switch RPGs arrive.
I'm happy.

They're mainline games, it was confirmed on stage. Game Freak is developping them.
Aside from me doubting that to be the case, that would be too little too late. Shouldn't have to beat the game before Pokemon selection opens up, that's just wack
I just realized something
They are transferring the Pokemon Go players from Go to Let's Go which is a half casual, half core Pokemon game, then transferring those players from Half and Half to the true core game they've been building up to since E3 2017
It's a hybridization game aimed at converting Go players into actual core series players for when the BIG game comes out!
Genius

Game Freak being the developers doesn't make them main line.
Actually battling wild Pokemon is a key feature needed for mainline Pokemon games.
It is set in Kanto, developed by Game Freak, you play as a trainer who catches Pokemon and goes on a journey. It is a main series game.

They're clearly based on Pokemon Yellow...a mainline Pokemon game.
Smash, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem this Fall? GG.
Nintendo just keeps killing it. Amazing stuff...
It seems they're going out of their way to clarify they aren't "core-RPGs". It depends on your definition of mainline I suppose, but I'd say they aren't.
They're based on Yellow, but are far more heavily based on Pokemon Go, including CP and no wild battles.
This is strange but I have had these mixed feelings about the Let's Go Pokemon games. As in I would be perfectly happy and would personally enjoy them as side games but I would hate them if these were the direction entire mainline was heading in.
Thankfully, I can now fully enjoy these games while waiting for the more core 2019 games.

So is Let's Go a remake of red/fire red? So far it seems pretty traditional, other than the fact you throw the ball (I hope I can disable the motion throw) and that you can see Pokémon out in the wild, right?
I feel like people are reading a lot into this announcement, namely that this is "just a spinoff" but I do not believe they have stated that at all. In fact I could have sworn they said this one was also a core pokemon RPG, not just the 2019 one.
It seems that it could easily be the case that the "go" capture mechanics are also included into the 2019 Pokemon, and that they're simply saying the 2019 one is a new region and not a remake.
Am I missing something more explicit?

I hope there's less of a Gen 1 focus this time. Especially since the Genwu- wonderful individuals that happen to prefer the first generation of Pokemon and dislike the rest should have their fill of Kanto for like, five more minutes.
