I Guess options and amount of content doesnt matter when you can have a Pokémon following you.
This game isn't for you. We get it.

Me too. I value a lot the "you can do this by doing this, now i'll leave you alone, bye". And just start exploring and playing the game, instead of spending 3 hours with uneccessary conversations.I mostly ask cause I found the handholding in previous ones to get kinda obnoxious. I'm interested in these, even if every video Nintendo put out made me go "why?" The review snippet should I've read sound great.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to playing it on Friday! Can't wait.
some people itt are really worked up over these supposed "hardcore gatekeepers"
god forbid they be disappointed in a Pokemon game removing the vast majority of the Pokemon and lots of mechanics
Docked is single joy-con or Poke Ball per player only. It's a one-handed game unless you're playing handheld.Can one player use 2 joycons, or 2 players use 4? I have not seen confirmation that but can play this game docked using 2 hands.

B-but Era said these games wouldn't be good!
I like that they still give each version a separate Metacritic page, so you can say stuff like, "Technically, Pokemon Diamond is the better of the two." Lol.
There's a game for their biggest fans coming next year.I'm honestly just upset that gamefreak felt they needed to specifically ignore their biggest fans to cater to a crowd they were already catering to anyways
God forbid thinking that this:
is a little compliated right? Maybe admit that the games became complicated for some people that don't follow the games as closely as you. gatekeeping at it's worst.

the amount of salt this game is generating is unprecedented
just ignore it until the main game comes out, would it kill you to have some patience?
EVs have been completely visible for over 5 years now, they're even on the stat screen in gen 7. IVs have been completely visible for 2 years, and the descriptors for the number ranges have been around since gen 5. The games' deeper training mechanics have gotten more and more transparent as time goes on. Let's Go has its own unique IV shenanigans going on with chain capturing that aren't explicitly explained or visualized to the player. Candy bonuses aren't any more explicitly defined than EVs are in gen 7. The only simplification that has occurred is the wholesale removal of breeding, abilities, and hold items, because they'd rather just toss them than provide the player with clearer information.These games are being way more transparent about how stats work than any other previous game in the series, EVs were hidden and nobody could guess how to boost them, EV points, EV reducing berries, Vitamins, all criptic as hell, candies at least tell you how to explicitely boost a stat. You can't tell me that they weren't simplified.
And no, that doesn't mean "Less content", less Pokémon and items are indeed less content, but that doesn't male the games any better or worse.
XY got a fucking 88 by virtue of just being a 3d game.Review scores for Pokémon games continue to be the weirdest.
Pokémon Emerald being the worst at 76 MC says all.
I'm mad with the direction my favourite series is taking, yes.Dude, you're giving the pacific ocean a run for its money in terms of salinity
That might be a fair critique, but that makes stuff like Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's Metacritic scores look very weird in comparion to Explorers of the Sky, considering the many of the same criticisms could be lobbied at Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, with the added cutscenes with the Ultra Recon Squad just slowing down the existing story that's otherwise largely the same, and some of the best scenes, like the ones involving you following Lusamine and Guzma into Ultra Space and then fighting her, being cut. But yet Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon reviewed just fine and have like a what 84 on Metacritic, so something's definitely off in how mainline vs spinoffs are handled, or something. That's a very huge discrepancy that can't help but stand out to me.

This reviews only tell GF that this is a good road, and that people don't care about losing 80% of team variety.
I mean, I'm okay too. I'm just disappointed with how Pokémon reviews focus too much on nostalgia like the franchise ended in the 90's and is coming back now, and how much the main series is losing in quality because of this sentiment.You seem really angry about a Pokemon game.
Here's the deal: you're mad about "nostalgia reviews" or whatever. I, and apparently others in this thread just want more Pokemon. Two different opinions and yet the world doesn't end. It's almost like we can both move on with our lives and still be okay.
Yeah, people called these hardcore players as gatekeeping, but I haven't seen any one of them wish for past pokemon and mechanics to be removed in a main line game. It was genwunners wishing for a reboot to happen to get rid of them. These argurments were real, and people were serious about them.some people itt are really worked up over these supposed "hardcore gatekeepers"

Seeing a lot of reviewers dismissing the huge lack of content and saying "it has nostalgia, so it's fine".
Makes these reviews completely worthless. Seems like most reviewers don't care about gameplay for the Pokémon series as usual -- that explains the low scores for the Mystery Dungeon series, while stuff like this gets a pass.
Nostalgia isn't mark of quality. This just looks alienating for anyone who actually follows the series.
I'm criticizing the text (for some of these), not the scores. "It has nostalgia, so the flaws don't matter" isn't something I can agree with.Any review that doesn't agree with me is worthless. If 100% of reviews don't agree with me then the entire universe of reviewers is worthless. Nice logic you got there.
Sure its bloated, but those formulas are not why. Its mostly because GF starts a new gimmick and drops it next game without removing it (see: mega evolutions were a big focus, but then sidelined for Z moves). Even then, I wouldnt call it complicated.Of course it's not necessary. But pokémon is kinda bloated right now - it can and will continue to be - but what harm there is to release a non bloated good game? Compare it to each first pokémon games on nintendo consoles (dash, rumble) to see the difference.
They're giving the first dose in RPG form, that's all and that's great.
But its not complicated. These background calculations exist in every game. How does Lets Go know wether you captured a Pokemon or not? 1+1=2? No its a complicated formula, just like the ones you posted, but its not necesarry to know, just like the ones you posted.The point pic related was to illustrate just how wrong it is to think that people can't find the games that came before as complicated, while also freely critizing the LGPE games as "oversimplified" "The casual audience are not babies!"

There's a game for their biggest fans coming next year.
I am really confused.
I've played and finished X and Moon, I'm just happy to play one without random encounters and one that continues the elimination of HMs started by Sun/MoonThese posts represent what will be the majority of Let's Go buyers. You know...people that haven't played Pokemon games in awhile, or when they do, just dabble in it from time to time. I'm think about buying this as well, after my last Pokemon game was Platinum...couldn't make it past the halfway mark because the random battles were so boring and repetitive. This game significantly reduces that time sink.
The 2nd most Let's Go buyers will be the usual hardcore (not all, but most of the hardcore will eventually buy it), and then people who may have never played Pokemon, or have only played Pokemon Go.
Yeah it's been pretty embarrassing in every Let's Go thread. You apparently aren't allowed be disappointed.some people itt are really worked up over these supposed "hardcore gatekeepers"

I watched a couple of reviews but is there a review that's shows how much movement is required in handheld mode to catch Pokémon?
I'm disabled and at times when the pain kicks up my movement is extremely limited.

Wild that people are excited for a game that looks like a mobile remake of RBY with less content and are fine with paying more money than they ever have for a Pokemon game simply because they can get their cheap nostalgia tickle.
A lot of people are worried that if this does well they'll either abandon the traditional games after Gen 8 or replace the traditional remakes with Let's Go.They announced gen 8 with this game for a specific reason, and that's to assure longtime fans that they aren't abandoning them. I honestly don't understand how people have missed that.
