Um, it came out in 98. I used GameFaqs. And friends. And yes, the internet was very real in 98. I don't know anyone who was not connected either through AOL or another ISP by 97/98.

alotta people weren't priveleged enough to have internet in the late 90s
So all the technology cramped in the Pokemon GO plus is cheap enough to be given free, while a pokemon has enough value to be prized at $60?
I don't know man, that's some logic you got there. I mean, by that logic, Wii Sports cost $250, but with each purchase you're given a free Wii. And we can't rule out that Mew won't be given at any other place (Event/Stores/whatever) four months before the game even launches. They have plenty of time to release info about it.
Are people so offended by the perspective of someone liking a game they personally hate? Good lord, I hope these people grow up someday. Its just a game ffs
It'll be a mixed reaction honestly. I mean yes. It would fly in the face of this article. And probably drive up concerns if Pokebank wont come at all but... I don't know. Disappointment will be there
Not sure in other countries, but in the US around 50 percent of the country already had online access by 98 and most that did not have online access were older people. Not so much about other countries though. Right now it's at 85-89 percent. 50 percent was a shit ton still.
that would make 50% of people not having access a lot too lol. and access doesn't mean u have the leisure to browse wherever u want or permission from your parents to go online.
Plus it was dial-up days where it could take several minutes to load a page and involved plugging through your landline.
Hmmm, are we assuming Let's GO will get a sequel, or do you think it's a one time thing. I guess it can remain as an entry point for GO players throughout the whole generation. If it works as a transition now, it should still be able to do the same thing in 2020 or so.
They implied the hope is for it to be its own new core series
I mean, you didn't say anything that I didn't already say. As I said earlier, I have no intention of buying these games. I also said that I'm not concerned about other traditional games being just like them. That doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't look at Let's Go and criticize it for what it is. The criticism of these games and the existence of the 2019 game are two entirely separate things.
Oh, interesting. I dont see that not working out so it makes sense.
I'm happy for them to take advantage of Pokemon being big enough to have 2 core franchises. I'll admit I had assumed that the secondary mainline would have the more focused audience but this makes more sense.
The burden of proof relies on the user who made that claim, not me.
However, I've seen countless of times people calling freaking Serebii "Shill" and "Fanboy", the guy who is as dissapointed with Let's GO as the majority of ERA
This thread is intense. Wow.
For me personally, I like some of the changes, and dislike others.
Good/interesting/ok changes: streamlining, no wild battles, no hms
Bad changes: opposite of streamlining, more tutorials, more restrictions, more linear
Pokemon has done some streamlining, but also some become more tedious and handholding over the past several gens. It's the main reason I haven't played a game since HGSS and gave up halfway through White. The game was so linear, that I coudn't figure out what to do in order to keep progressing and I just got bored at stopped.
There is some incoherence in the design of Let's go IMO.
Pokemon Go is the target audience, yet that game barely had any tutorials and handholding. Go was always online, let's go barely has any networking features. I'm not saying the game won't be successful, but I think there is a bit of missing the mark here.

It always happens, it seems.
Hmm, true. To be fair, GO will continue to serve the needs of GO players (more so than this game can, naturally) so Let's Go doesn't need to hit all of the buttons. But it will be interesting to see if there really is any significance to the design changes they've made in terms of having a broader appeal. I'm still on "GO Success + Switch Hotness + New Pokemon" was a formula for success no matter what they had decided to do.
Many games suffer from the linear, but open format. Where you have a large space available to explore, but you have to go to a specific place, talk to a npc, etc. to progress. I call it needle in a haystack design. It's outdated and terrible.
In White, pretty much every story beat has the NPCs come to you.
Why do you keep insinuating that I was offended, wtf???? All I said was your logic in calling this a boycott was horrible. That's not me getting offended, that's me calling out your shitty logic. You are making shit up to try and make me sound worse than I actually was. You clearly didn't read or selectively read what I wrote. Especially as you confused "appeal to popularity" as appeal when they are both completely different things: 1) Appeal to popularity is a fallacy where you use popularity to handwave away any criticisms, so you make the assumption that "it sold well so therefore everyone loves it." 2) Appeal means the quality in something that makes it attractive. Both are CLEARLY different things.
So basically what you did is bold the parts that you think is relevant to your argument and then ignore everything else. For instance, you bolded the economic loss on a target while forgetting the other part of the sentence that said to compel someone to alter an objectionable behaviour. And usually = "under normal conditions; generally" so you did jack shit in proving how people complaining about LGEP and wanting it to fail is a boycott when 1) by all indications this is going to sell well as I've been saying, and 2) there's no supremely negative consensus to the point that its affecting sales. This in particular is why your Metroid example falls flat, because there hasn't been released sales info that points to a clear negative effect as a result of people complaining about the C&D. Even then, the "negativity" of CD'ing AM2R wasn't even enough to cause people to fully disregard the game to make a point to Nintendo. So, using Metroid as an example has fallen flat, even more so considering we're about to get Metroid Prime 4 on the Switch, which begs the question that if SR did so poorly, Nintendo would not have continued to give more publicity to the Metroid franchise.
If you still believe your own delusional definition of a boycott then give me examples of boycotts that occurred without the aforementioned reasons (political, social, moral, environmental). If you can't, then you only have your poorly conceptualized definition to blame.
Did you even read a single word I wrote? Like fucking seriously, did you? When I told you about the lack of content stuff, I was talking about stuff IN ADDITION to the "No RE" complaints, but ofc, you misconstrue everything I said and made it as if I was talking about one complaint > the others. I was in the same thread too and I saw a lot of complaints ranging from "No RE = no content" as well as complaints about cutting out 650+ Pokemon as well as the game being Kanto-only. All of which are valid complaints with regards to lessening the amount of content in a Pokemon game compared to previous games. It doesn't matter if the game is only catering to "Genwunners" because we have better technology now than 20 years ago, and that should be used to its advantage instead of sticking to standards from 20 years ago.
Again with the stupid shit, you're accusing me of feeling "targeted" by whatever stupidity you're saying when I never did. Can you fucking stop making shit up? If you're going to keep saying nonsense like this there's no point in continuing a discussion with you.

It's because GF learns the wrong thing rather than make something that works. A lot of issues with pokemon are solved problems in other games (and within pokemon, strangely enough)
Woof, there's some things been said in this thread. Just glancing over some of the things in this thread.
- 3 things that Let's Go had in comparison to Go outside of the catching? Well there is the CP Value assigned to each pokemon to show "Overall strength", sending your excess pokemon to the professor for "Candies", and no ability to breed your pokemon.
- On Mew, It is lame that it's held behind the $50 controller, the controller itself is probably a fine controller, hopefully it can work with other switch games and not just the upcoming pokemon titles, but when you actively block trading Mew's from Let's Go as well a Pokemon Bank. It does feel like you are paying $50 for Mew if that's what you want. It's a step down from ORAS as well which created an in-game event for catching Deoxys. I won't rule out the possibility yet of there being a new event for Catching Mew ingame, or another future distribution giving Mew out, but the Mew from the controller makes both of these unlikely to happen until at least the 2019 game comes around.
- Lastly on the whole "Making it easier for little kids" thing, I want to ask. Have they confirmed touch screen controls for this game yet? Assuming most kids are coming from Go having a control scheme that matches Go seems like the simplest way for them to pick up and play the game since that's what they are already familiar with.

Man I really hope Let's Go does NOT become a series. Imagine if they used this as their new 'remake' series and we never got real Sinnoh remakes...
The only thing they've confirmed for portable mode is gyro aiming. That's the only way you can catch Pokemon currently.
Ouch, thought they would at least let you swipe the screen to throw pokeballs. Not even that?
Looking at the UI for battles so far, they aren't making it easy to select which moves you want to use either. So I'm uncertain if they are going to have touch screen controls for that.
Feels backwards after the DS and 3DS games all having touch options.
(Also just noticed the information button to tell you what a move does mid-battle is gone now as well, can't tell if the Super Effectives and Not Very Effectives are in because Take Down would deal neutral anyway and everything else is a status move).
Which is quite silly considering you'd think GF would port over the touch screen controls from Go. Maybe they did, but they'd publicize that already wouldn't they?
It isn't just about the number of changes though. The reason USUM got backlash and not crystal, emerald or platinum is because patches and DLC are a thing on 3DS but not on GB, GBA, and DS. Therefore an alternate story as a new packaged title was the only way to present C, E and Pt. But USUM should have been a $15 DLC for SM with new copies of SM including both games ~ 6 months later.
Would be strange to reveal a new Eeveelution now when they didn't bother to do it where Eevee was a focus of a movie
Though it's also pretty weird revealing an Eeveelution when the game your releasing stars an Eevee that can't even evolve
My guess is it's the female Eevee introduced with Let's Go

It's the same color as Eevee. I think it'll just be a Eevee with a unique outfit.
Probably nothing. Too soon to reveal a new pokemon and especially so for a new eeveelution
