Wild battles were hardly bloat. Tall grass was already a solution to the random battles problem - you could often just walk around it to avoid them is you so wished.
It's just my own feelings and desires but don't you worry I don't have magical powers so it's not gonna happen just because I want it to, and yes it is selfish that's because it's indeed my own desire and hopes, is it not nice? Yes it is not and I said as much. So what's your point?
I'm not supposed to talk about it? Does it offend you to have people not being hypocrite and express their inner feelings, opinions and disappointment? We are in a forum people have different opinions, you don't like mine and it's OK, it doesn't mean people should insults each others for their own worries, concerns and hope just because they disagree.
As an exemple, some people are OK and support lootboxes and micro transactions and some don't and hope the trends stop and games with it to bomb, it's two side with different opinions and hopes, to each their own and to each their reasons, I outlined mine and that's that.
Or use repel or just run from battles. If you accidently bump into a Pokémon in Let's Go and don't wanna catch it, you still have to run from it.Wild battles were hardly bloat.

Yeah it's going to sell crazy. I'm not even mad lol. It looks like I'm going to enjoy this. Oh boy you can only catch Pokémon and not battle them. Doesn't really bother me. They wanted to use Pokémon Go mechanics.Yessssss!!!! I can't wait and it's going to sell like crazy!!!
Well, I still strongly believe that the Go crowd and the lapsed players that haven't touched a Pokémon game since 20 years ago deserve something much better than this uninspired cash grab, especially if they want them to stick around for whatever comes in 2019.
I swear that constantly bending to the whims and demands of people that don't even give a fuck about Pokémon and just had a tangential relationship with the franchise back when it was impossible to avoid it because it was plastered everywhere is what's going to render it eventually irrelevant.
Nintendo or GF?
Your negative feelings aren't opinions and it's not valuable for anyone to bring that into a discussion.
There is a whole thread to fuss about the core installment of 2019. Why don't you go there and have fun discussing a game you can actually look forward too?
The existence and popularity of Go absolutely destroys your theory. I know it's just anecdotal, but several of my colleagues who haven't played Pokemon games in decades are excited about Let's go and talking about how they will play it with their children/partners.
Nintendo is surgically accurate with Let's Go.
it will sell millions for sure, it's just a bit hard for me to see it selling >10 mil if it's so controversial. But I'm not good at predicting sales, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯FF15 sold millions and millions yet didn't sastify many people.
These games have massive hype, hence Nintendo having huge stocks ready (see France).
They will sell millions no matter what.

Where is it controversial? Y'all need to stop thinking these little communities around the internet are the majority. It's a small group.it will sell millions for sure, it's just a bit hard for me to see it selling >10 mil if it's so controversial. But I'm not good at predicting sales, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the typical pokemon game, how often do wild encounters end with you catching the pokemon? Not that often, in the grand scheme of things, but it seems like it'll definitely be less than how many pokemon you catch in these Let's Go games. Given no other options to dispatch the wild pokemon, we are going to be catching a lot of them, right?
They even made that comment about having PC boxes in your bag now. Does this point to being able to turn excess Pokemon into candy like in GO? Or is there some feature or mechanic we don't know about relating to training your Pokemon to account for this?
I'm talking about the OP commentWhere is it controversial? Y'all need to stop thinking these little communities around the internet are the majority. It's a small group.
Still doesn't answer the concerns of what are they going to do in 2019 with all the people that bought into a nostalgia-fueled ride mixed with some arm flailing and Charizard riding if they're not eased, even if just slightly, into the fact that there are more mechanics to Pokémon beyond the rock-paper-scissors types and that they should "let it go" because there's more life beyond #151-Mew
You said you can't see it selling over 10 million. All of a sudden Pokémon is about to sell millions of copies less than it usually does?
The bolded part confuses me.Still doesn't answer the concerns of what are they going to do in 2019 with all the people that bought into a nostalgia-fueled ride mixed with some arm flailing and Charizard riding if they're not eased, even if just slightly, into the fact that there are more mechanics to Pokémon beyond the rock-paper-scissors types and that they should "let it go" because there's more life beyond #151-Mew
What concerns? Every Let's Go player comes from either the core RPG background or from Go background. It's all pure profit and if any Go adopters convert to the Core side it's even bigger win for GF. They can literally lose nothing with this strategy.

Yes, this game is going to have very good sales. Then what? How are you going to convince people that there are baby Pikachus if you purposely ommited them and cut them off? How are you going to tell people that there are wild battles and can no longer just flick their wrist until the game gives you a jingle and a prize?
I love the no random battle encounter , hope that makes it to gen 8 , as well as riding big Pokemon.
The bolded part confuses me.
I'm starting to feel as if some people can't seperate the lapsed player excited over Gen 1 on Facebook from some "genwunner" nerd adversary that argued with them in fanboy war on an internet forum.
If it don't satisfy both camp? Probably. Tho like I said, I'm not good at predicting sales.You said you can't see it selling over 10 million. All of a sudden Pokémon is about to sell millions of copies less than it usually does?
Why else would they purposely cut off all the evolutions and babies, as well as all the means to get them (no breeding, no eggs, no necessary evolve items) if it was not to cater to people allergic to #152 and beyond?
You don't think they'll have Pokémon running around on the screen in next years Core Pokémon game?Won't happen and you can count on that. The battles are a key feature of the games that removing wild Pokémon in their next core rpg would be insanely stupid.
Like I really don't believe some casual Pokemon Go player Joe Perkinson reacting to this game on Facebook or whatever would give remotest of shits about some obscure fanboy wars going on message boards or be involved in shitposts about Garbador.Why else would they purposely cut off all the evolutions and babies, as well as all the means to get them (no breeding, no eggs, no necessary evolve items) if it was not to cater to people allergic to #152 and beyond? What purpose does it bring not letting you evolve your Golbat into Crobat when it's max happiness, or trade your Onyx with Metal Coat to get Steelix and pretend that they don't even exist even though people playing Pokémon Go already know about them?
Well that kinda isn't true since the next 3d Mario games became super linear with a timer like the 2d games.
The ability to fight wild Pokemon does not mean they can't be on screen. Random battles are a different thing .You don't think they'll have Pokémon running around on the screen in next years Core Pokémon game?
I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.The ability to fight wild Pokemon does not mean they can't be on screen. Random battles are a different thing .
I just saw this pop into my mailbox but it doesn't seem to be the Pokemon game I was hoping for....
Think I'm going to have to wait and see
my current problem with the game is that its basically super self-contained.
according to all the data we have so far, its a "remake/retake" from yellow (with all the simplificationes etc...) but breaking all the conventions that we have on remakes so far, generations set on stone (no evolutions even), no crosstrading , no breeding. it feels like playing the red/blue/yellow version on the 3DS eShop, but at least with those you knew upfront all those limitations.
Here is like "its a remake but no"
Its true that the change from ramdom wild battle to spawning pokemon is not too big or bad, yes, i would question the neccesity of removing completly battling wild pokemon even for this title. But even that could work in a GO-hybrid scenario... introducing go players to proper pokemon battles first and as a bridge from the mechanics they know with the CP and actual battles...
So far even the conectivity with GO wich COULD be the mayor attractive from the game is still unclear.
we know that we can bring GO pokemon to Lets go, but is unlikely that the opposite is true, so go players are losing the possible incentive of using LetsGO to train some pokemon without wasting so much stardust/candies on the app. And even so, as is limited to only first generation (that we know, unles we have unlikely patchs), go players will have plenty of pokemon with no conection whatsoever with these titles.
the best of these titles is that they are able to test things and get in touch with the system while working on the proper title for 1019. at least they dont have to waste much time with the maps XD
If it's not then there will be a more traditional game in 2019 that might be more to your tastes :)
I know its been said but Lets Go is basically the game I wish Pokemon GO was
The virtue of having the ACTUAL full battle system alone is a plus
This game feels very much like the next stepping stone to take players from Casual >> Hybrid >. Hardcore player
It's a shame that iam still waking up to people being upset that this isn't the Pokémon game they wanted, well that's because that Pokémon game isnt even out untill 2019. Pokemon let's go is just a bonus game for everyone to play until than. I guess they shouldn't have made a this and made us created more Pokémon rumor threads for a full year instead.
Because it was locked behind beating the game.
Funnily enough as a competitive Pokemon player who got back into Pokemon Go 2 weeks ago, I find capturing Pokemon a lot harder there than the traditional way lol. In the other games I can False Swipe, status, then spam balls.
In go, I have to actually time my throw right, adjust for the mons size and movement behavior, and also try to curve the ball (which I suck ass at lol). Pokemon Go may have a more "casual" way of catching mons, but I don't think that actually makes it easier!

Who said removing wild battles, i said no random encounters, pokemon can appear in the over-world.Won't happen and you can count on that. The battles are a key feature of the games that removing wild Pokémon in their next core rpg would be insanely stupid.
160+ pages and I keep reading people mix these: Random battles != Wild mons battles.
