Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee domain names have been registered

Pretty much. People in this thread have already concluded that this is a mobile game ported to Switch that will look like Sun/Moon in HD. It will also be rushed because they only started developing it last year after they saw the Switch success. And of course when the game turns out to be great they will suggest that their concerns made Nintendo change their plans and god bless community for saving the franchise.

Doesn't fit our screenshot at all. No Eevee on his head, and the trainer wasn't wearing a hat like Red.
Also the rumor that we won't actually play as Red/Blue but rather a new trainer doesn't fit with this.
Here some video comparisons of sun/moon in HD
With better textures, and an updated rendering engine that has an improved lightning system and some kind of filtering on backgrounds I can see this looking quite good tbh.
Yeah but Pikachu isn't a Pokemon entirely based on the gimmick of multiple evolution branches, whose name is derived from "Evolve"
Oh FCK
What's japan time at???? What's our time at????
WE NEED A CLOCK
Umbreon, Glaceon or Leafeon! :3Unless the inevitable new Eevelution is completely awesome I'm sticking with my fave.
What you gonna do with your Eevee?
If this is the cheap route they are taking I hope all those 4, 5 and 6 scores show them they cant get away with it (and i really hope they are getting smacked by reviewers this time if thats the route they want to go). Of course, stupid of all of us it will sell well and they will learn nothing, or even worst, that they can get away with zero work.
Pretty sure the leak indicated that Red (and Blue) weren't the player characters, but characters in the story. Gonna call fake on the screenshot.
Or Pokémon Go was incredibly popular and reminded a ton of people that Pokémon even existed at all, and now Nintendo has a huge audience and consumer interest with the switch, and want to capitalize on people's fond memories of Pokémon Go.
It's either that or your crazy conspiracy theory.
Your logic works out, just I think Nintendo would throw their weight around and force them not to no matter what. Nintendo still controls Pokémon too.
Why not writing down where you found it? Anyway, that looks more weird than the blurry Lapras screen, mainly because the dimensions are off. Eevee is way to big compared to Red/Ash/Trainer in front of it.
Yeah i wrote something similar in the other thread ... but this could be a "So I meet my old nemesis again, timezones"-thing. ^^
Going by the rumors, this'll be a Pokemon Yellow remake/sequel (think Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds). Pikachu was the player's starter in that game, and the rival character (based on Blue/Gary Oak) started with Eevee.
It is, but personally I'll always miss that sweet full 60fps take on Gen 3, and especially the 60fps battles in Gen 5. That really added something and the attack animations could look even better.
Of course, solid 30fps without drops is fine, but considering the huge hardware power gap I'd really be disappointed (or should I say "annoyed"?) if we don't get 60fps for "simple" Pokémon games, which tend to never be that demanding graphically compared to what hardware they were released on.
Fake. According to the info set we're not playing as Red.

I hope there is no battle cut. Just a smooth transition into battle where the camera lowers behind you. That would be awesome. If the Pokemon are out in the wild, it may be likely!
Edit: also there is a tree which needs cut. HMs are gone.
There is a grid... But he's walking slanted? Makes no sense.

Too ugly to be real. Gamefreak is much better than that.
I don't think this works in your favor. Sun and Moon in HD looks so much more appealing than this.Meanwhile in 2003
Im not saying S/M doesnt look nice in HD but its underwhelming all things considered. I wish i had Dolphin shots of Colosseum/Gale of Darkness on hand.
I think it's fake but isn't that exactly how x&y are? It has a grid but you can move in full 3d.
They do have control, but at the same time they also allow TPC to work with the brand autonomously. It might well have been a contingency plan from the very beginning for all we know (where it would release on mobile if Switch flopped out of the gate or get ported to Switch if it was a success - after all, ports from mobile to Switch are easy by virtue of the Switch's hardware architecture).
While I do agree that Nintendo wouldn't have allowed TPC to release a mainline game when they have a successful console/handheld, I also don't think that Nintendo would have allowed the brand to die with their consoles if the Switch failed to take off in the way they needed it to; especially after the success of Pokemon Go. You have to remember that the Switch launch was basically do or die for the company, as far as their game development side goes, as there was a very real chance that Nintendo would have had to abandon development on dedicated devices if the Switch didn't take off.
TPC was pivoting towards mobile well before Nintendo even began their mobile initiative; they felt that the writing was on the wall for dedicated handhelds and Nintendo's consoles were on the verge of total collapse too. It would've been a sensible decision for TPC to make given their situation.
You know what's really sad ?
We reached the point where I would literally spend 3 hours in the first city in a modern 3d (BOTW style) pokemon, just looking at trees and npcs, just fulfilling a childhood fantasy.
You would think starting over with Gen 1 would be the perfect opportunity to create new styles and templates for the years to come.
I'm not ready to stop believing. But if that image leaked is real, oof.
There's also the possibility that water travel is old school because they weren't gonna bother designing seas for the first game.
But yeah...
It is completely mind blowing how much detail is lost in the original version.
This is fake. The item box and NPC trainer near Charmander are from Colosseum/XD.

Do we really expect the following pokemon to be on the trainer's head all the time? In the (potentially) leaked screenshot, they were both riding a Lapras so it makes sense. But when you are walking around, I would assume he'd just walk behind you
Again, Eevee still has Extreme Evo Boost so it's gimmick is still there. I'm just saying nothing is a guarantee atm. They could as well introduce a new evo for both of them and force them on us, because plot. Interesting given the Gorochu tidbit they revealed not too long ago
So...this is a Yellow remake?
As a long time fan of the franchise I'm really sick of the Gen 1 nostalgia pandering. Shame that they are making this for their first Switch game.
Guess that means Gen 8 games (and D/P remakes) are even farther away than I thought too, urgh.

"They aren't giving me what I want so media should bash this thing and people shouldn't buy it, otherwise they are all stupid".
Gen 8 was never going to come out this year. It's been less than two years since Sun/Moon.
...I don't remember. I'll look it up by on YouTube.
Doesn't look like it. IIRC, you could kinda get away with it by using roller skates using the circle pad.

That picture looks so fake. The fucking screen of the Switch isn't even aligned with the bezel. Like come on, looks like someone just photoshopped a fake screenshot on a Switch
The pokemon models already use normal mapping, specular maps, and emissive maps. The normal maps just controls how the shadows curve around the topology rather than add more detail (rather, it removes topographical detail)
I never expected them to. I always thought Gen 8 would be holiday 2019. But with this in the meantime they're probably even later than that.
Yeah once you got to roller skates you could use the circle pad to have freemovment or use the dpad to snap back to the grid. It was an interesting compromise.

That looks quite ugly. Red is too tall to fit through that door.

It's fake, you can see the picture isn't aligned (EDIT: not curve, fuck my English) on the left side of the bezel, clearly Photoshopped.
