Let's GO Pikachu / Eevee Treehouse Live: New Information Summary
- Thread starter CarthOhNoes
- Start date
Seems quite complex actually, maybe actually closer to a real Pokémon game than to Pokémon Go... Which is kind of surprising to me, why they chose to go this route. I suppose the mainline game would have not been finished in time and this is of course a smart move to bank in on the success of Pokémon Go.
But it seems that besides gaining experience through battles most of the core mechanics are here...? And that's indeed where I get put off a bit because the whole gaining experience through catching Pokémon is not my thing at all.

Yes, but the GO Park takes the place of the Fuschia Safari Zone so it won't be available until mid-late game.
Sounds good to me. Last Pokemon game I played was X/Y and I enjoyed how beginner friendly it was. Might even get it with the Pokeball accessory, I'm really digging what the game seems to aim for.
Though we don't know for sure that there are no repeatable trainers, the intent is probably that extra exp. comes from captures.
That seems like would grow old very quickly and it's not a real substitute for pokemon battles. Initially I thought I could enjoy this game but there's too much stuff against it so I'm gonna pass. Not that it matters, it's going to sell like crazy; I just hope this stuff doesn't reach into the "real games" next year.
You still gain experience from battling trainers/gym leaders.

To me, capturing pokemon doesn't seem any more tedious or repetitive than grinding against wild Pokemon. You just spam the same attack and heal once in a while.
To be honest I'll be happy if the 2019 games allow me to choose to do this and not battle the wild pokemon
It looks like no abilities or held items, so hardly the same combat system
Curious, has this been shown anywhere? Just note if its from that Pilachu level up screen, Im not sure I'd put too mich stock in it since natures are hidden in that screen.
Kinda with you on this. Playing through Yellow now, I'm imagining it without wild battles and I think it's something to easily oppose in concept but won't actually be that bad in practice. I'm looking forward to it
Plus on the Pokémon selection screens in SMUSUM, if you have no hold item, the hold item info bar just doesn't appear.
People are jumping to conclusions.
Wouldn't really show up on the new move on level up screen
It's on the show floor but they force use of PokéBall Plus to stop people going through menus and the ilk
They never said that, but they have been saying that co-op can be done with the second joy-con and they seem to be aimed at parents/kids playing together rather than a completely different player.
I've never played a Pokemon game before; why do they all have 2 versions? Like, what separates them? I swear I heard someone say they're effectively the same game.
Well, the lvl up screen and se havent seen static kick off in gameplay.
Also, Berrones being used to capture looks bad for held items (I think those were cut yo avoid evolutions of certain Pokémon).
This isn't a remake of yellow it's like a "reimagining" I guess you could say. The leaks said Red and Blue are in the game in some way. Maybe secret bosses like they are in sun and moon.
In the first game, exclusive Pokémon, so you need to trade with other people to get all the Pokémon (also some Pokémon evolve when trading).
The problem is that now the exclusives are Legendary Pokémon (Unique), so it's harder to get the exclusives from the other versión unless you give up yours.
This is so weird though. Unless it's also some kind of sequel I don't get how there can be new protagonists while keeping Red and Blue still. Since you start in Pallet Town and there are still only 2 houses... and the rest of the region is pretty much unchanged and doesn't look like it has the gen 2 stuff?
I think you're looking a little too deeply into the lore of a children's game full of cute creatures.
Bro I know I say we are just gonna have to wait and see on what Red and Blue are like in this game.
Are there gameplay videos out there besides the treehouse showcase? If its just that, Static has a 30% chance of activating and it only activates on contact moves, so it can be rather fickle (I know this the hard way with the amount of times bulky Volcarona has not wanted to burn Mega Kangaskhan with Flame Body lol).
As for the berries, they use the Pokemon Go berries (Razz Berry, Pinap Berry, and I'm guessing Nabnab berry), which are actually currently, totally useless in the current Pokemon games! Seriously they don't do anything, and aren't even currently obtainable in the gen 7 games. In the past they were used to make stuff for contests, so they've just been hanging around being useless now. I don't think repurposing useless berries means items are out. Plus, its not unheard of to make Pokemon hold useless items like Pokeballs in the main games either.
Now, not saying that they DIDN'T remove abilities and held items, but I just don't see any compelling evidence for their removal yet, especially when some of the more complicated things like natures and IVs (which sucks) seem to be back as well. I do want this question answered soon though, I want to be a nerd and practice with this on Pokemon sims before the game comes out and analyze the metagame around them lol
Haven't seen one in over a year #AmIDoingItWrongOrMissingAJoke?
The lore of Pokémon is deep though and they always explain everything in more or less coherent ways, even with parallel universes thrown in
Ah I missed that! wow, then this game is actually starting to become something I might also check out...
It's like a remake of the first game, mixed with mechanics from Go (which I've never played and know nothing about).
Overall this sounds decent, except the idea of having to catch disposable pokemon as the only way to gain exp...
I like that you can have any pokemon follow you around. Does this mean we will be able to ride big flying ones as a means of traversal ?

I don't have a link showing it but I remember a thread here confirming it's only PGO to PLG
Do we have Info on what Brocks team is yet? I would not be surprised if it was just a level 7 or 8 Onix now.
(I know, demo is demo, could be made easier, but the Sun e3 demo was the same as it was in the main game).

Demo ends before you get to face him so we don't know yet.
Yeah no kidding, I only played Go for a few days and I was already sick of that.
But it's not only the levelling, it's going through some area and defending yourself, you know, the whole reason starters exist. Why even bother now, just grab a bag of pokeballs and catch whatever you see first.
Also, it looks bad/stupid for wild pokemons to just stand there waiting for you to capture them.
This game feels like it could be great for everybody with a few options added, it's maddening really.
Really?
I see them all the time.
I must be living in a rat infested city, no other explanation... :))
Pokedex is like the antithesis of coherent. Its a game where hundreds of vastly different creatures are making eggs together and Pokemon scientists don't know how.
The face of a man who's caught them all.
Pokeball is tiny, or Reggie is a giant, or both I guess.
