Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
You can play the whole game offline.
You can catch get every Pokemon without Go, at the exception of the newly introduced Pokemon Meltan and its evolution, Melmetal.
Game can be played solo offline on your own, no internet connection required. Co-Op is local based only. There is online, but don't expect anything like the Battle Spot, GTS or Wonder Trade, the online features have been severely gimped. You use a code of three different pokemon to connect to another player (Sorta like friend codes) and you will also need an Online Subscription as well.

There are some game specific pokemon in the game (Pikachu has Oddish, Growlithe and Sandshrew, Eevee has Bellsprout, Vulpix and Meowth), Meltan and Melmetal require connection to Pokemon Go to collect and Mew can only be obtained from the $50 Pokeball Plus controller (cannot transfer from Go if you got one from there).
Online is definitely friends only?
When they walked through it during the Treehouse segment it was said to be for playing 'with friends and others'...
(during the part they were inputting the code im pretty sure, can't pull it up to rewatch right now)

You only have 8 days wait, while I and others have over a year to wait for the Pokemon game we want. :/
Psyduck is on the back of Let's Go Eevee
Superior version confirmed
These days are already dragging. I haven't been this excited for a games release for a long time!
(But mostly because I've only been able to buy games on release for three years)
Oh man! I'm pumped! Got some Best Buy gift cards to throw at this so I have to take my chances and hope the PokeBall Plus version will be readily available. It's making me slightly nervous. That damn Pokeball will make playing Go while walking my dog too nice to pass up.
I rarely buy games on launch anymore, but let's go was a big exception for me.
Plus he (obviously only briefly, but still) had a Wartortle. He's cool with me.I like anime Tierno from what I watch, as they were able to show that he can inject his dancing when rasing his pokemon, while also being competent.
I don't know who I'd use for my last 2 Pokémon if I got this.
My G1 favourites are:
Ivysaur
Eevee
Parasect
Cubone
But then there are about 30 that I absolutely love as well.

Ugh, I don't wanna support game freak on this game, because I want to send the message that isn't the kind of game I wish for them to make in the future.
But I love Eevees so fucking much.

That's great. Looking forward to finally play a Pokemon game.
Every Pokemon game has lots of early "teaching the ropes" mechanics. Trouble is, GF haven't got the first clue about how to design proper difficulty scales and don't give a rat's arse about their older playerbase so the tutorials aren't optional, their baked into the game so you will have to sit through them. Every. Single. Fricking. Playthrough.
Even worse, they sometimes have a dude / dudette who offers to teach you stuff, like how to catch Pokemon, and they do it even if you say you don't want it (they say "do you know how to catch Pokemon?" and give you a choice). GF are many things, but competent designers when it comes to challenging a very wide playerbase isn't one of them, sadly.
As much as I'm looking forward to Let's Go, Masuda is totally losing the plot in my eyes and seems trapped in a weird land where anyone who has played GO can't grasp even the most simple concepts without extreme handholding.
Tabletop mode? Haha
I've got the pokeball bundle coming in. It'll be fun to use with the game, but I'm excited for how it'll make my Pokemon Go experience a little easier too
I'm honestly considering getting one of those tablet holders for my bed so I can have my hands free and play with the pokeball whilst in bed, doing throwing motions whilst lying in bed would be weird tho lol. I got the Eevee pokeball bundle for a decent price so I'm thinking of keeping it.
I am already really hyped for Let's Go but this would take me to another level.
Also is there still reason to believe that there are new Mega Evolutions or has that been debunked by now? TPC tends to spoil all the surprises in trailers so I think we would have heard about them by now.
You are probably right, no new Megas.
Going by the initial rumour/leak, there is still one thing they didn't show : an Online hub.
I might be jumping quickly, but I don't think they have any reasons to release new megas. Mainly because of the absence of abilities and I think the megas are only there for the sake of having something different other than just Kanto.
What online components are there to Lets Go E/P? I am really on the fence with this one, but I am fiending for a pokemon game
While I love Pokémon Adventure, it still couldn't get me to love X and Y as it just reminds me how disappointing the game was. Like how is that the manga is giving the box mascot better focus than what the game did?
I will probably just skip to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and then Sun and Moon.
I like anime Tierno from what I watch, as they were able to show that he can inject his dancing when rasing his pokemon, while also being competent.
Man I still fucking hate Tierno with a passion, though with his dance move he would have probably been better saved for Alola given that dancing is tied to the Z crystals.
The bundle with the Switch includes the digital version and the Pokéball.
Crap, I don't have anyone that would play with me. That is such a let down
I'm not even convinced next year's game will do anything right, if it continues the trends of forced tutorials, lack of post-game content and removing the National Dex while adding pokemon not from a local dex for no reason at all. SM did all that despite being very enjoyable otherwise so I really don't know if they'll just do it again since I have this horrible feeling. They really need to blow me away with the next game, or at least move towards adding DLC to their core games instead of releasing it as a $40 cart like with USUM so that any disappointments won't feel so bad if they can just patch them out.
Then again, I was hoping Pokemon Bank would at least work with this game but look where we are, one week from launch (though no codes out yet) and no confirmation either way. Not even one just for our LGPE mons in case we need to save our mons due to the lack of a normal cloud save feature for LGPE
Bank support will probably be added with Gen 8. Otherwise, what's the point to adding Meltan if you can't send it to Gen 8?
I don't think anyone should expect Bank support for these games until next year's titles are released, and even then, chances are it'll only be a one-way transfer to the new ones. LGP and LGE will probably be isolated, aside from being compatible with Go.
So then it would be basically compatible with Transporter and not the actual bank. Which is still dumb considering there's no way to preserve any bit of your save data, including Pokes until next year. If you could move them to go it would be another story, but ironically if you're a go player you're better off keeping your rarest mons in the game if you want them around for a while, then.
they'll probably add Bank support to Go. Bank was already prepped to receive Go pokes
Yeah I wont be bringing any of my shinies to Let's Go until bank support is added.
