I cant imagine there is a nostalgia bigger then gen 1 pretty much everywhere lol
But there was already a remake. Oh well, this is not the first game getting second remake anyway, DQV and FFIV did pretty well in Japan.
Aside form MewTwo, and Pikachu no gen 1 is on any of my students favorite pokemon list.
Yeah that's probably a problem, kids were too young to play FireRed/LeafGreen.
Why? Isn't that the norm there and anything extra is excellent?
That can change.
I think this game will be big, especially in Japan.
Sure, it can, but it doesn't have to. All pokemon should be able to be imported into the game. Gen 1 pandering is stupid, they already get it way too much. However probably the worst part is turning the game from an RPG into a pitching sim.
A remake on the switch is another league from the remake on the GBA, this time your getting even closer to what people imagined in their head
It's an interesting game... It looks like it was a super cheap and quick game they don't care about too much, but it also has a lot of really interesting and really bad features.
The local co-op makes all the battles completely trivial to allow casual players to actually complete the game and the capturing will be fun for Pokemon Go players maybe.
But no online features is just Game Freak not caring at all. Can't imagine Nintendo is pleased with Game Freak deciding to cut online from their game two months after the launch of their online service, lol.
And there's like one new Pokemon so :shrug:

I like generation one (and two) in terms of Pokedex appeal much more than subsequent generations but I always want a completely new Pokedex in new games, especially with the remakes they do.
I probably would've been interested in a more "classic" remake of generation one for Switch but I'm quite glad this isn't the entirety of their vision for Pokemon on Switch.
I'm curious how this game will do. It looks nice in my opinion and things like co-op and Go compatibility should help I imagine? Not sure about the generation one bent or the simplification of catching/seeking Pokemon. Honestly seems the two are at odds to me. That is I imagine a lot of the generation one fans would be like me and want a more classic remake. I guess, though, the answer is to draw people in through Go which also had generation one Pokemon. But doesn't it have other Pokemon now too? And wouldn't the draw for Go people, beyond new ways to catch and interact with Pokemon, be more Pokemon?
I guess the ideal for this sort of product would be a great degree of synergy with Go, namely a service component where the two upgraded in tandem?
It'll sell well no matter what but I guess I'm curious how well...

Who said that there are no online features ?
There are trainer battles, so why could there not be online trainer battles ?
This is going to be big minus for WW but jp i dont think it will be any problem.
The twitter account posted by CeroMiedo is live-tweeting it atm.
This is aimed to teh GO crowd, I dont think they will mind lack of something Go didnt have
The main new feature of this game is the co-op.
... There's literally no reason why they can't do online co-op in this turn-based RPG. This would be incredibly easy to do. And online co-op is extremely popular in America and Europe (and Japan really!)
And they don't care at all and it's kind of amazing?
Nintendo wants me to pay for online and in their biggest franchise they are about to release an entry with zero online functionality. Nintendo stays true.
Local co-op = bonding, go out, meet people. Just like GO.
You will have the successor main line series next year. Why do people try tomake this spin off into a full fledge game??
Pokemon Let's Go has so few resources put into it that they aren't even including a specific handheld mode for catching Pokemon.
So instead of using the touch screen, you shake the entire system in handheld mode.
Not sure Nintendo is right to be banking a lot on this spinoff Pokemon game (since Pokemon seems to be one of the few games other than Smash that will do giant numbers this year) that Game Freak themselves seems to barely care about at all.

Gen 1 pandering ignores the people that grew up with Gen 2... or gen 3... or 4, etc. Also ignores kids a lot. My cousin is 8 and he recently had a Pokémon birthday party and complained he didn't know most of the Pokémon decorating it (it was gen 1 centric) and that it lacked Talonflame, his favorite.
Obviously, there are kids who like gen 1 too, but if you're trying to make a super casual game shouldn't you focus on bringing all fans (new ones included)?
Yes, but that's still... a very confusing thing.
Online co-op is maybe the most popular video game playstyle in America right now. Even games that are super iffy (see Ghost Recon Wildlands) can blow up because of online co-op.
Oh so there is online.
I like some of the changes like visbile pokemon. Gets us one step closer to BOTW pokemon. No wild pokemon battling is weird as fuck though. If this has 8 gyms, E4 and Champion, not being able to battle wilds means they have to revamp leveling up and battling mechanics.

Back to no online in the announcement thread. Press seems confused.
I can't believe Game Freak actually cut the online from their games, what the fuck.
How does Game Freak look at 2018 and see:
-Online gaming is overwhelmingly what mainstream gamers care about, far beyond every other type of game style
-Nintendo is launching an online service they want to promote
And decide
"Let's cut online out of our games and somehow not include online co-op even though it would be super easy to do."
This is like legendary amounts of not caring about this game.

Yeah, just saw.
I don't get how you launch a pokemon game with no online. Diamond and Pearl had it in like 2006.
Simplified pokemon is really weird given how simple the series already is.
It has no online because this thing is made based more on Go than the actual previous mainline games and they don't want to create a "meta" for a different game featuring only old Pokémon.
This is still very bizarre.
This is still very bizarre.
I think they were making this game only because Nintendo asked them for a "core RPG for Switch" and they didn't want to commit to a main game yet considering they expected the Switch to bomb completely, so this happened.
TPC and Nintendo's relationship is weird. Because I don't see why TPC should have any say in where and how the franchise games are developed at all. Nintendo should just say " new game is on Switch" and that should just be it.
They cut the gameplay, and 3/4ths of the pokemon. online getting cut is the most reasonable cut.
Because GO was even simpler and made a gajilion dollars instead of the standard bajillion dollars
I do wonder how many people will buy a Switch and this, coming from Go, that didn't instead get drawn towards a 2/3DS (and then, potentially, towards this).
A Switch is a bigger ask.
I guess what I'm wondering is how much Let's Go is just going to sell to people who would buy the next Pokemon game even if it weren't simplified, and how much its Go-ification can actually help it.
I also wonder, as I said, if the Go support will evolve and grow but the gen 1 remake structure works against that.

These new Pokemon games are smart. There are going to be fans who don't like them, but that's why they announced a more traditional game for next year.
14 years ago.
