Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
This tweet has proven extraordinarily handy
There's a "real" Pokémon game coming people, just chill out.
Pokemon was already for kids. That was the prime demographic for it.
And Let's Go is for....smaller kids? Non-gamer kids? I really don't know.
Actual Gen 8 is coming next year so you can hope again, kinda?
Idk, some of them did provide a challenge. Catching a Shiny Beldum without knocking it out was one of my greatest accomplishments as a trainer.
My hatred for Gen 1 is because of it I'm getting a Pokémon game without any of my favorites.
By powering them up using candy (which gives purplse to catching a pokemon more than once)? Or trainer battles, or by walking with them, or other stuff.
Considering how SM and US/UM turned out to be extremely simplified and the epitome of "hand holding" game design I wouldn't hold my breath.
I'm so happy we're still getting a core RPG, my hope for competitive battling being stuck in USUM hasn't been completely extinguished just yet.
you can only do it from a certain point midway through the game, according to masuda. still not totally clear whether i can just import my mewtwo and dragonite and blitz the rest of it, but yeah.
Probably for the people who play Go.
Lol of all the things to be confused by with this, the target market sure as hell isnt one of them haha.
Whoa, where did this announcement come from? Caught me off guard. Not super into Pokemon but usually end up buying a game when it first arrives on a new console so I'm semi interested in this but not sure what to make of it.
Does it have a campaign? If there are no random battles, can you only catch Pokemon via GO? If you don't play GO, are you just stuck with Pikachu / Evee?
/edit: Oh there's another game coming in 2019?

Eh, I don't see why this would mean they aren't gonna remake DP. The next games after RS were FRLG, after all. No need to remake RB again, so they went with Yellow.
I don't think we really see the potential of that game. I mean this was designed with Pokemon Go in mind ! This could send Switch sales to levels we can't even imagine.
Kids who play Pokemon Go, or want to play co-op. Or perhaps casual fans who want a lighter experience that doesn't fucking involve competitive battles.
As much as I wasn't a fan of MHW, there are people who weren't into MH before that love MHW. This is the same idea.
Removing the RPG battles takes a huge portion of the game away. Pokemon was always on the easier end of the scale for difficulty, now removing two of the most rewarding and difficult parts I also don't see much joy in this.
That being said I wasn't into Go, so this game isn't catered for my taste and that's cool. Well see what the 2019 version has in store .
Hopefully SMT V releases this year . If not I would still be happy with just SMT Strange Journey which I am playing on the 3DS. (For those unfamiliar with SMT think Pokemon that are Demons, way harder and world more bleak).
i dont know why people think this game is a breath of fresh air, when is basically a dumbed down version of main line pokemon game, like what is innovative??? co-op and changing the clothes of your pokemons??, ake catching pokemon less tedious?? like what justifiques the 60$ tag ?? these things can be easily added to the gen 8, why make a whole game because of these features??
Yo that looks tight. Haven't played a Pokémon game since I was a kid and watching that makes me want to get right back into it.
The original Pokemons with good graphics is the only thing I've ever wanted from the series so this is good
Because if those features were in gen 8 people would still be bitching like they are now. GF is damned if they do, damned if they don't.
I love the smell of a good meltdown in the morning. People predicting a 50 metacritic lmfao. Looks good to me, I'm in.
No wild battles is lame, but they're getting closer and closer to the Pokemon game I'd dream of as a kid.
I was into the Pokemon Go craze for a month tops, but this might suck me back in since there'd be an actual reason to capture Pokemon now - thank God there's an actual turn-based battle system in place.

So is this the Pokemon game we're waiting for? I don't know much about Pokemon but I'm interested in buying it if it's a jrpg. Does it play like one? Do I need to buy that ball thing or am I good with just the game? Do I need to use the phone as well? And why are there 2 games?
So many questions, yes. I really know nothing of Pokemon and if a kind person can answer I'd appreciate it.

I don't think you don't understand how long a game takes to make. It's not like these were jsut thought of a few months ago and quickly rushed together to have a game in the fall.
- It has a campaign and a different story from Yellow.
- No you can catch Pokemon directly in the game. You'll see them in the overworld and can catch them by throwing a Pokemon at them.
- GO is not needed to play the games. You'll be able to make your team with the Pokemon you catched in the game or transfered from Go.
Just got around to watching the trailer. Looks cool, and if you can spend the entire game playing co-op, my wife and I could have a blast with this.
it means we have many self appointed representatives who don't really understand whats going on
You see them roaming aound, walk up to them and throw the ball.
I was thinking the same but then I look deeper into the video and carefully but what is the "Help Command?" I'm very curious. Maybe sending out your Pokemon to Wild battle? Maybe they didn't show everything yet and revealing at E3?
Gotta love those meltdowns. They were saying the same when Pokémon Go was revealed, saying it would bomb and it would be forgotten right away...
Based on the kids I know who like Pokemon, I feel it's safe to say that the extreme banking on Gen One nostalgia can't possibly be targeted at them. There were already well over 400 Pokemon before they were even born; they have no special affection for or even memories of Gen One. Some of them weren't even alive the last time Gamefreak revisited Kanto. If you asked them, I'm sure they'd rather have as many Pokemon as possible instead of arbitrarily being locked into using these 151 Pokemon just because old people like their parents think they're the only good Pokemon. Other people's nostalgia has no appeal to them.
