Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Well seeing as this isn't a reboot and obviously didn't take the 5+ years to develop as the games you mention did. It's not even comparable.
I keep hearing the bs for years and yet the Pokémon franchise is bigger than ever.
Game Freak is soo underrated.
Potentially PoGo metagame of 3 stats, 1-15 IVs and no EVs, plus absolute type imbalance. Entry barrier would be on the floor, and the ceiling would be hit as fast as you say IMMA EARTHQUAKE (or psychic) ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
They don't want to scare off newcomers who jump into ranked with their ingame team and get demolished. Besides, it seems like this game won't even have effective ways to get good IV's or EV train your Pokemon so ranked is unnecessary. We'll have to stick with Gen 7 until next year for competitive battles.
Motion controls are obligatory even in the portable mode.
Jesus, he's just a kid!
While I do appreciate the multiplayer, there needs to be a way to balance 2v1 battles...
The good old "popularity = quality" stuff we've all been missing
If it ain't broke..
OP
OP
No, the same trainer in the previous games who had 4 level 10 Pokemon now has one Level 9 Venonant, meaning it only has tackle and disable.
Yeah, its not like we have been waiting for almost two decades to get a mainline Pokemon game on a console.
I get that alot of you guys are happy with this, but is it okay for me not to be? I guess i had higher hopes for this.
Because they simplified the game to be for funsies.
The core 4 attacks system is still there but from the sound of it tons under the hood got gutted
Reading around I think what this comment meant was that the games won't use the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, not that it won't have online full stop, so you don't need to pay extra to play online (iirc they did say the service was dependent on the developer opting in in a method the same way the Google Play Games API works).
Oh by the way
These games are going to be objectively easier.
good lord
Looks like I'll be able to play these in my sleep
This all doesn't look very promising, but if Trainers aren't finite then it could regain traction with me. Grinding Pokémon is one of my favorite past times, if there are a plethora of available trainers to do that on throughout the game I could see myself enjoying it.
I somewhat like the idea of only having wild encounters being the Pokémon you actually want to catch. And it's not like the core franchise method of catching Pokémon was amazing, sweet spotting the low health spot with high level Pokémon was impossible so you ended up just chucking balls anyway. And not wasting slots on false swipe is good.
Are they for real about not evolving Pikachu and Eevee or is that just what people are saying? Eevee without the ability to evolve is the biggest oxymoron ever introduced in this franchise.

It looks exactly like S/M just upscaled and some minor improvements. If older players are fine with aestethics in S/M and PGO why wouldn't they be here?
All Pokemon games are. I've always just used pokemon that look cool. No problems. Spam attack, never use any of the status-altering moves.
Also, it's a trailer for a game nearly 6 months out. Could be much different in reality.
Well, I've found like 10 shinies in PGO, zero in 20 years of mainline pokemon games... so...
Because everyone wants 3DS games uprezzed for Switch but when it happens and doesn't look like titles built for Switch from the ground up they criticize Nintendo anyway. This is why I never bought the argument that they should have just ported Samus Returns to switch in HD. Graphics complaints would have been ENDLESS.
Totally. Red/Blue/Green weren't hard even as my very first exposure to JRPGs as a child.
Because with only 151 available Pokémon from which maybe 10 are feasible there wouldn't be anything competitive about it.
never had that problem, and I was the one who only raise my starter
That's stupid. Competitive Pokémon is a choice. If I have nothing to fight for in these games then I don't think I'll enjoy them past the elite four.
In the old day every pokemon of catcher Cale would have been one shotted by the starter.
Of course we can always get easier.
THE POWER OF THE NINTENDO SWITCH
..........

I don't think I can honestly say what I are my thoughts about Gamefreak without getting a warning (or a ban).
I liked the game's proposal, and even their comercial goals with the Let's Go series. But man, I can't stress enough how...
...
*ahem*
I hope the next mainline installment will look better than that
Well I was half-joking really.
Gamefreak can continue making Pokemon, but I do wish a serious Animal Battler would come to change things and appeal to older people.
As someone who basically only played Pokemon Red back in the days when it was new, is this game like any traditional Pokemon game, except that you have the catching mechanic of Pokemon Go (throw a ball at the Pokemon and have a random chance of catching it)? I'm not that familiar with Pokemon Go either.
If you thought it was going to be anything like BotW or GoW then that's your own fault. This is a casual mainline game and Game Freak even stated to keep expectations in check for this one.
Moving from portable to home console isn't exactly easy if you have to get a game out every year to appease shareholders.
The art is very good. Most of the models looks great (except for Mewtwo). Grid-based is fine, it was never an issue and I'm still confused when people prop it up as a major sticking-point. Co-op is a cool idea that I'd like to see in a traditional game. Love finally having 3D-rendered battles in a console Pokemon adventure. I hope there's some kind of Battle Restaurant were you can initiate new trainer battles because... if there's a limited number of trainer battles, then that'll be a huge bummer.
151 only is the biggest disappointment. I understand having only OGs in the Kanto wilds, but at least let me transfer the new ones in just to see their glorious models. The fact that wild encounters are Go-inspired to the extent that there is no battling is unfortunate as well. They could have easily had you battle the Pokemon until its health reaches a certain threshold, then initiate the catching sequence. (There's still a small chance that's true, but I highly doubt it.) Pokemon behaviors in the overworld seem FAR too simplistic as well. A Clefairy should not be as easy to find/initiate a battle with as a Zubat, for example.
This seems fine. I'll probably buy it. Not totally in my wheelhouse like a standard Pokemon RPG would be, but hey, the visual presentation of this Let's Go trailer was pretty effective at getting me hyped for Gen 8 (even though they didn't confirm a platform for it, which is mildly anxiety-inducing).

With all the trainer pics showing only one Pokémon... with random encounters gone and trainer battles being the only way to battle and level up, is it possible the trainers level up and get more Pokémon over time? It would definitely lend to the games longevity. You beat that bug catcher and his one Pokémon, comeback a bit later and now he has two and a few higher levels, rinse and repeat.
It is however a major change in direction for the franchise. You know exactly what i mean.
Just because it's in the trailer doesn't mean it's in the actual game. They've shown made up levels in trailers before.
Animation is just one of the many features GameFreak have dropped over the years.
We're in 2018...and we weep getting games from early 2000s in Pokemon franchise.
Meanwhile, Nintendo and Sony reinvented BOTW and GoW succesfully with current standards.
Meanwhile in GF...look at that PS1 game, do you like It? Well, we made it in HD, please buy our game at 60$.
Well that's a shame. They should have at least added touch then. Mandatory motion controls are so last gen. :/
Blastoise still not shooting water out of his fucking cannons.
That's where the outrage should be directed.
To be fair, the day-night cycle in Pokemon games is absolutely horrible.
I can only play at night, so I finished Pokemon Sun while exclusively playing in night time. It's stupid.
The Zelda way is better : have a day-night cycle last 2 hours.
Anyway, yes, I doubt there will be night time: there wasn't in Yellow.
In the old games it was actually easier if you only raised your Starter. You'd ed up so overleveled that yo could breeze through the game outside of maybe one or two stumbling blocks (such as the first two gyms if you chose Charmander). Heck despite all of Brock's Pokemon being immune to electric attacks, it was still possible to beat him with Pikachu if you never bothered training anything else.
Well, you're getting one that is ugly with and without a TV.
You're right, it's back to tile-based.
What a surprise there is regression in a Pokémon game.
What do you expect from the 3DS game engine? It's a miracle it looks like this to be honest. At least the have put some shadows and lighting effects in the overworld. I can't wait to see the proper Switch Gen VIII next year. IT's gonna look incredible compared to this.
Well that's not true...
The Kakuna and Metapod would have taken two hits while not having the ability to fight back.
Unless you were using Charmander, of course.
