Why is it a disaster?

Not just with that, but everything. It's pretty much everything that people feared it would be. Basically an HD version of the 3DS games' style, can't evolve your partner (who the hell would pick Eevee now), gimmicks galore (forced gyro wasn't ok in Odyssey, it's not ok here), and no online (or maybe there is?).

I don't know if I understood the concept correctly, but it looks to me like a half baked core Pokémon experience? In this case, I'm better off waiting for the full core experience in 2019, and enjoying Quest which seems to be an entirely different concept not overlapping the main games.

Seems like a lot of hate. I know when my 8 year old daughter wakes up and sees the trailer she is gonna be beyond excited. I know when I show my wife the trailer her reaction is gonna be "so does this mean we are playing Pokemon Go again?"

I think it looks good. I think it's a cash in from game freak but a really clever one. They are gonna make some serious money from this.

I think Pokemon will be dead until 2019... this just sounds extremely watered down. It has a beautiful premise but no features from a 2018 game should be lacking online play. This is absolutely dumb. Emily was right when she said we'd react with hostility.

I think your comment proves that you don't know the market. This will blow up.

This seems like a smart move. By returning to the beginning of the series you can introduce players who have never been into mainline Pokemon without forcing them to catch up with two decades worth of games. Plus, the Pokemon Go integration serves as a great way to get people who have only played Go interested in playing a true Pokemon game.

I say this as someone who only played Go and am now interested in playing this.

Yeah but people who played Go, played it because it was a FTP game. Can you really expect a percentage of that population to spend 360 dollars on a Switch and a game? That's why this whole thing is so baffling to me.

Game looks nice and the presentation is great, but I'm not sold on the gameplay. Then again, the Pokemon formula has been mostly stagnating so this could turn out ok.

I have two theories for what's going to happen after these games:
1) Pokemon Let's Go will become a remake series, remaking the older games with Go integration. Mainline series will feature more evolved graphics and mechanics.
2) Gen 8 will swap from two nearly identical versions, to having a more mainline version with more RPG-esque mechanics, and a Let's Go version designed more for Pokemon Go.

That being said, now that online is confirmed, this game is doing all the right things for me. It looks great.

That would actually be pretty neat. I love the casualness of GO, but one of the biggest complaints I see for Pokemon these days is that it's too easy. If they split the series into 2 from now on, having a more casual experience (GO series) might allow them to experiment with harder experiences and more deeper mechanics in main series games.

Let's be honest, this is going to sell like gangbusters then the game in 2019 will sell even more because it will pull more people into it.

Anyone expecting a good vs competitive experience from this wont get it. They themselves already said that's not the goal with this game.
