Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu/Eevee! |OT| One Step Forward, Six Generations Back

So has anyone been able to get Melmetal yet? I've actually been diligent every week to do my mystery box and catch as many Meltan as possible and I've got one more week to go before I am able to evolve Meltan. I've been checking IVs too and my best one is 14 attack, 13 defense, 11 hp. Thank god I had played Pokemon Go enough when it came out and had a bunch of Pokeballs to spare because I've had to play anyway and collect more at Pokestops. I'm excited to finally achieve the goal soon - definitely the most difficult mythical Pokemon I've ever [almost] obtained (perhaps just tedious/time consuming but those fucking Meltan love to escape my capture attempts in Pokemon Go so I mean...)
I literally did my first and only box a couple weeks ago for the double candy event. I got 242 Meltan candy from that one box. Then last week I just completely forgot and didnt do it at all. I have not been diligent.
All I have left right now are basic pokeballs and those little critters are slippery bastards so I'm not looking forward to the next box.
Found this from waaay back before pokeswitch was even revealed.
So what do you think yall, did LGPE look better than BotW? 😉
It's okay, you are named after a sweet character we'll let it slide.
Lol glad no one remembered it.
But I was expecting gen 8 to be the next Pokemon game on Switch and not Let's Go.
I'm still hoping for this to be true though for gen 8 lol.
Finally finished the game and Mewtwo.
Only got 4 pokemon left to catch, Dragonite, Omanite and Omastar, and Hitmonchan.
If anyone can help me get these registered by a trade in trade back that would be super helpful! Would be my first time completing a pokedex lol.

Yeah, it's insultingly simple so far. I'm only two badges into the game so I'm hoping it gets harder (Elite Four can't be easy, right?) but I haven't had a single Pokemon drop below half health yet, let alone get knocked out. I remember "whiting out" more than a few times when I played Red/Blue as a kid.
I like seeing Pokemon in the field. I like that the stats page show which stats are affected positively and negatively by natures. I even quite like the visuals for nostalgia purposes, seeing the world in the same top-down right-angled format as the original Kanto (though I hope the next game is more ambitious).
I deeply dislike the catching system and lack of wild battles (far too simple, and means exp gain HAS to result in tedious Pokebox management). I dislike how easy the sparse battles in this game are. I dislike how basic the battle animations are.
So far it seems fun as a nostalgia trip, but that's pretty much all this game has going for it. If the next (new gen) game is as simplified and easy as this, with visuals and battle animations as dated as this, then I imagine the feedback will be incredibly rough. To the point Bethesda can finally enjoy being out of the spotlight.
Just started playing- I've never played a Pokémon game before. Just beat Brock at the gym.
I'm just not sure I'm actually having any fun 😕

Figured I'd put this here for people interested, but the Poke Ball Plus is showing up for $15 at some Target stores.

I can trade you a few of those seeing as I have Eevee if nature and stuff doesn't matter to you. Also I have a graveler and Haunter I'm looking to evolve but I'll need them back :)
Anyway, just got to Fuchsia city. I always forget how LONG the route between Lavender and Fuchsia is. Also am I wrong or are the only two water types available up to this point the Magikarp you buy and Psyduck (discounting Squirtle)??Haven't seen any others since they took out fishing.
Anti-gambling laws in Europe killed the return of the game corner. I am personally okay with their removal.
Apologies since this im sure this question has been beaten to death but is the difficulty in this game really too easy?
I was a huge fan of Pokemon back in Gen 1/2 but stopped after Sapphire and haven't played any of them since. I was hugely excited for this game being a remake of Yellow since that was my favorite Pokemon game back when I played.
The only thing that has me on the fence is that everything I have seen says the game is way too easy and you basically can cruise through the game with only a starter Pokemon or without losing a battle.
Now I don't remember the old games being overly difficult but I can still recall instances of having Pokemon on my team go down during trainer battles and having to use items and have a strategy of some sort.
Looking for some opinions, nostalgia is driving me to get this but at the same time, I don't want a game that I would get bored with easily due to being too easy.

I never played Yellow and I really enjoyed Let's Go Pikachu. I needed to use other Pokémon to get past some of the gym battles. Your starter definitely ends up being your all-around strongest, but there's no way around the game's core type weakness/strengths angle.
I got it about a week ago as a gift for my birthday. I've gotten up to Fuchsia City. It's very easy, but I'm still having fun with it.
There are two things, in my opinion, that make it too easy. First, most of the trainers in the game only have one pokemon per battle, and second, the constant exp share mechanics allow for some of your 'mons to get over leveled quickly. I caught a Charmander just after the Pewter gym. I don't feel like I used it a ton, but just always had it in my party. I would rotate other pokemon out when I found one I wanted to use, but since he was always there gaining experience, he got extremely over leveled compared to my other pokemon and what I was encountering in battles. I think he was level 40 or 41 when I got to Erika. My Pikachu was also crazy over leveled by the time I got to the Cerulean gym as well.
Basically I've been rotating pokemon out a lot so that my team will be a bit more consistent to what I'm facing in the gyms, but there is still this disparity between older 'mons I have been using and newer ones which has been driving me crazy since I like to keep their levels even with each other.
Thanks for the responses and feedback. From the sound of it, it doesn't sound too bad. I think I'll still pick it up mainly because I have the itch for some Pokemon and want to see how they reimagined Yellow.
This might not be the thread, but I have an extra Pokémon code for ultra sun / moon for Zeraora if anyone wants it. First to quote the post can have it.
I can help you out. I also need to evolve a few myself. So we can do some trades for evolutions.
I don't know why we couldn't get it working. I traded some with another Era'er later last night with no problems. Thanks for trying at least!
Can anybody help me here, I am trying to get my first shiny, a growlith, I currently have a 200 combo and have been trying since yesterday (6 hours today literally and 4 hours yesterday) with max lures and have yet to see a single one, tried route 5, 6, 7 and 8 all to no avail, what am I doing wrong here?
Can anyone help me finish my Pokédex? The only three I need are Meowth, Pinsir and Dragonite.
I don't care about keeping any of them, I just want to get the entries, so even if you could just trade them to me and we trade back, that's totally cool. I have multiples of all of the Let's Go Pikachu exclusives for anyone playing Eevee.

I am looking for Eevee version exclusives if anyone is willing to trade.
I already have everything except for Alolan Meowth, Alolan Vulpix, and Koffing.
If anyone can help me out with this, it would be awesome.

FWIW, I found a Discord channel on the Let's Go reddit and found someone to trade with in minutes.
Just need to level up my Dragonair one more time so it evolves into Dragonite and my 'dex is complete.

My Mew has a naughty nature and I put Magikarp in my pokeball. Haven't really played the game with it but I love the poke center sounds when charging and effects when you have a pokemon in the pokeball. Also with daily steals and Target I ended up paying $50 after all for the game + pokeball plus lol.
I posted this in another thread but I might as well ask here:
I'm stuck fighting Giovanni for the first time in the Team Rocket hideout, he absolutely destroys me.
I have a Pikachu at level 36, the rest are like Sandshrew etc at level 31, am I fucked unless I grind via catching?

Do you have any decently leveled water type Pokemon? Pretty much all of his Pokemon are weak to water-based attacks.
No, the only water based Pokemon I've encountered so far was the Squirtle near the beginning that you can get if you'd caught 30 Pokemon. I guess I could go back and get it but then I'd need to level it up quite a bit somehow.
I think I have an extra wild Squirtle I caught in my Pokemon box. I've got my lunch break in an hour, I'll check it then and let you know. If it's got a decent level, you can have it.
Ah cheers dude, I'm new to the Switch but I'm guessing you need my friend code?
Nope, basically one of us just sets up a code for a Link Trade and it auto-magically finds the person.
It's a level 43 male Squirtle. I'll shoot you a PM so we can try and connect!
Anyone got a Melmetal they'd be willing to trade for? I've got a couple of shinies and legendaries, including Mew, that'd I'd be willing to give up for it. I don't play GO so getting Melmetal is pretty much impossible for me, although I reaaally want one for completion sake.
Any help trading for one would be much appreciated.

If you have Mew, you can cheese Mewtwo out with the Foul Play TM.
