Despite my reservations about this game, I'm still incredibly hyped. I won't be able to play it immediately since I'll be at ffxiv fanfest, but I'll probably start it as soon as I get home. Going with Eevee version, although those moves really do seem OP as heck... Also pre-ordered the Pokeball Plus bundle in the hopes it helps get me to play more Go.

I'm gonna grab this tomorrow. Can't justify the Eshop price being $30 more so I'll wait a few hours. Eevee for sure.

I'm sorry if it's been asked already but I haven't really followed the game after reveal, can we battle against and trade with random people online or do we need to exchange friend codes?

Pre-ordered from Amazon UK in like July. It's not even dispatched. Pretty close to just cancelling it and getting it locally. Unbelievable how bad Amazon is, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a game to be sent for launch day in 2018. Incredible.

For what it's worth, my Diablo III dispatched from Amazon UK last Thursday afternoon and still arrived on Friday. Don't lose hope yet.

Fair enough, we'll see. I wouldn't be so salty if it wasn't for the fact I preordered this literally months ago in the hope of avoiding shit like this... I thought the sooner the order goes in, the less drama surrounding getting in time for launch, lol. How ironic.

My copy of Spyro was ordered when the game was announced and it didn't dispatch until the morning the game came out. Got it by midday.

Can someone who buys the Switch bundle for this let me know something? The game comes pre-installed -> does it attach to a users account, or is it 100% tied to the machine?

Does anybody know if the physical Japanese version is multi-language or has any kind of IP lock for the online? I have a friend on a trip in Japan and people at stores told him that even though the game will work in the European console, it might give troubles with the online connectivity or something like that. Maybe they're parroting the old "unexpected behaviour when connected to Pokémon games in other languages" from the early gens?

Pokémon is a global SKU game, you can check the details further in Japanese e-Shop about the supported languages and English is supported. Since it is a Cartrige based game, the game title should supposed to be Japanese in Switch menu but the game itself should play in English.

If I trade with someone on here that has a Mew and then immediately trade them back, would my Pokedex be full? Obviously I'd need to gain their trust first but Pokemon communities have always been really friendly to me in the past.

I just can't justify spending $40 for a damn Mew

Man why get Evee if you can't evolve him?

9 or so unique moves is more than anythings had before right? that or if you just like the pokemons look and personality a lot
The main reason people were like "why wouldnt you pick pikachu?" seemed to be because they thought Pikachu was stronger but it seems like its the other way around this time.

That's always how it's worked in the past. Just need to have possessed a Pokémon at one point for it to be registered in your dex.

Anyone knows if it's possible to trade the initial Pikachu/Eevee? I guess not, but just in case.

I read the OP but I'm a bit confused about the Meltan thing, do I have to catch it in GO first? Because I haven't seen it there at all. Or do I just simply get the box as a gift for connecting the games then play the candy minigame in Let's Go?

You send something from GO to Let's Go, and in return a special box gets sent back to GO. Then you use this box to attract Meltan for 30 minutes, once per week.

I've had both ordered for months from SimplyGames in the UK, normally they're very good about sending things out early but they haven't even dispatched yet. I wonder if Nintendo are being hard-asses about places sending it out early after what happened with Sun & Moon? I've had the Pokeball ordered from Amazon since the day it was announced and they're saying arriving Saturday. Amazon are just shit these days to be honest.

Honestly, I've not touched amazon for years in terms of games, i had a voucher to use up.

I wont be going near them again.

3 version exclusives is kind of pathetic. It really makes trading unnecessary when each version can basically get everything.

Not a huge deal, but so many people at work are getting this it's a bummer we won't need to do more than one or two trading sessions to all fill the Pokedex.

There aren't just three

Let's Go Eevee! exclusive evolution lines:

Pinsir
Koffing -> Weezing
Ekans -> Arbok
Bellsprout -> Weepinbell -> Victreebel
Vulpix -> Ninetales
Meowth -> Persian

Let's Go Pikachu! exclusive evolution lines:

Scyther
Grimer -> Muk
Sandshrew -> Sandslash
Oddish -> Gloom -> Vileplume
Growlithe -> Arcanine
Mankey -> Primeape

Some of the Alolan forms are version exclusive

Plus you'll have to trade to evolve Haunter, Machoke, Kadabra, and both Gravelers

Let's Go Eevee gets an extra Mega Evolution with Mega Pinsir

Going to have to try to trade with people if I can make this 151 living dex a thing. I'm getting the Eevee version and will be transferring some of my mons from Go but I don't have Growlithe or Mankey on there so I'll have to trade for those. Plus Alolan forms of nearly everything except Grimer. And the trade evolutions. Hopefully trading will be somewhat easy to do, I know there's no GTS right? So I'll actually have to find people who want to trade and such.

So I heard this on another forum , game is 30fps and it isn't stable either, while wandering around it drops. What do you think ?

Question regarding trade evolutions. Can we transfer Haunter/Graveler/Machoke to Go to evolve and then transfer back? Or does it have to be a trade with another Let's Go player?

I'm assuming the latter since we are only transferring Pokémon to Go.

Has to be trade between Let's Go players. Transferring Pokémon from Go to Let's Go is one way only - you can't transfer Pokémon from Let's Go to Go.
