I don't know what you guys are actually looking at then. Just look at the head sizes relative to their bodies. These games models don't match any of the old artwork except for the little kids, and the adults now look like the slightly older kids. Sun and Moon were way more accurate
I honestly don't know how you can't see the parallel when people here have said the series is dead to them if some of the Go mechanics seep into the core series.
I am one of those hated genwunners (though I do like Gen 2 as well), so this game is theoretically for me. I do like that random battles are gone (worst aspect of traditional JRPGs imo), but not having to fight wild Pokemon to catch them? That seems like a major omission to me.
I also wish the graphics were more like the manga-esque concept art for the original Red/Blue games.
This game has potential for sure though.

The colors are great, much more vibrant than the 3DS games.
This is how I feel as well. Though I can't say the mechanic at play here seems more fun at first glance. At it's worst it'll be just as tedious.
While I would have preferred a more traditional Pokemon experience, this does seem to be a refreshing take on what is essentially another trip back to the Kanto region.
No way Sun and Moon is closer.
I hate chibi so much
it's so fucking ugly
Sun and Moon was so good too :/
Considering everything else was right this probably is too.
I really hope there are Stadium like mini games in the hub.
Because that's changing a key element of the games, not dropping things added later.
I'll put it into perspective for you:
Scenario 1: Every Thanksgiving we eat turkey. One Thanksgiving, we see all of the neighbors eating ham, and they seem to really enjoy it, and we decided to have ham as our meal next Thanksgiving in the hopes of having them over. This is the battle system change.
Scenario 2: We had turkey for our first Thanksgiving as a family. Each year, we progressively add more and more dishes to Thanksgiving to appeal to wider tastes, while a verbal contingent keeps insisting we dump all the mashed potatoes and rice and vegetables and ham and just have the original turkey dinner over and over again.
Because this title is likely aiming for a wider audience than the 15 million Pokemon usually sells. Not all new fans are the same.
I'll be really happy if they scale back a lot of the stuff from Sun/Moon, and if I enjoy this one then they've picked up a new fan.
This game has 152 Pokemon lol (idk if Mew is in but I'll assume so).
Yeah, I didn't get that from the QnA. Trading and battling are still in, but they're local only (like if you're trading with a friend's 3DS right next to you). What they most likely mean by no online service is that there's literally no Online capability in the game beyond patches.
Pokemon can only spawn in tall grass, but after spawning they're free to wander.
Large Pokemon are automatically ridden. That Charizard clip isn't a special thing, it's literally a follower Charizard, but instead of following, he's being ridden.
Yes I think wild battles are important. I made this post earlier:
I also think wild battles are important to themed areas. For example in the haunted tower of Lavender Town, the ghost pokemon and the trainers will fight you. The wild pokemon make the area feel properly haunted and they try to beat your mons up. In Let's Go, will you just fight trainers while the haunters and ghastlys loiter around the area?
I'm actually sure most Pokemon fans today are kids who grew up with generations besides Gen 1. To them, they have just as much if not more nostalgia for Pokemon like Togepi, Treecko, Mudkip, Hoothoot, etc. as people who started playing Gen 1 have for Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, etc.
No, we've already had confirmation that that was a misunderstanding, the game has online battling and trading, but no ranked matches and no online co-op.
Oh, I fully expect event and Legendary Pokemon to have to be battled before greeting the capture screen, much like in Pokemon Go raids. In fact, I'm certain that will be the case. Maybe they'll even make the fights challenging, since it's not about keeping the Pokemon enfeebled and at low HP to catch them.
It will probably be the trailer + a recap of what we learned last night. This is a show targeted towards children after all.
I knew it!
No more of this
Alolan forms are in. Later evolutions and baby Pokemon are not.
This might be the best outcome for legendaries jndeed. Tough as fuck boss battles, where you have to defear them before getting to the capture screen. In fact, if all Pokemon captures where like that, this game would have beem excellent.
Day / Night was added in Gen 2, specifically to the benefit of Espeon / Umbreon and having some Pokemon come out at night, so I think it's unlikely.
You're absolutely right. Really, really wish they added some "classic mode" for wild encounters.
There's no way that Sun and Moon was closer.
I was going by the artwork at the bulbagarden link...
And you don't think we'll be fighting ghost Pokemon in the Pokemon Tower?
I think people are blowing this out of proportion assuming there will be NO Pokemon battles outside trainer battles. I'm sure we'll fight scripted Pokemon like the ghosts in the tower, Snorlax, the birds, Mewtwo, etc. along the way. It's just the Pokemon outside of events not vital to the plot of the game that we'll skip battling, surely.
Don't care about visuals, they're fine.
Don't care about the Go stuff. I'd rather not have it around, but I'll live.
I find Kanto boring, but again, I'll live. It was my first mainline region, and I found it plain back then, too.
Locked to 151, though? Not even a few Johto mons in the post-game? That's a deal breaker for me, especially for a $60 console game. It blows my mind that a decade-old gen 1 remake will seemingly have more content in that sense. Real bummer that I'll be waiting a year and a half.

Oh interesting, where was this brought up? I mean, ranked battling has pretty much been the meat of Pokemon for me since gen 6 (Hell, gen 4 if you count Pokemon Sims), but if I get these games I might hop online and stomp some people with a competitive Lets Go team :P
Oh man I didn't even think about that.
That would be so freaking stupid but I can still see them doing that.
It's slang for being a crazy super fan.
From the Eminem song "Stan".
How can you say FR/LF has more content when we basically know zilch right now?
Wait... are you saying you expect that we'll venture through a mysterious cave and happen across Mewtwo for the final showdown, and it starts and ends by throwing Pokeballs at him? No way in hell. We'll be battling him just like we battle him and other Legendary Pokemon and event Pokemon in Pokemon Go.
Hush you. Jynx is awesome.
This is my take in wild battles. I love them and I hate them. I love a wild battle the first time it's a new Pokémon and being surprised. That part is fun! It's the anticipation. However, once I've seen that pokemon, I absolutely am over it. Especially in caves. It gets tiring. Real fast.
If that's how it is in GO I don't see why it wouldn't be that way here.
Both GameSpot and IGN, Serebii also confirmed the no online thing was a mistranslation.
