Games footage is really early as others have said but except from the beautifully designed region nothing sees to be changed yet in areas a lot of people complained about.

3D camera for one.
More open routes

others things like Pokemon following you. But we are being too critical of the first trailer and I think its gone overboard, would definitely need to see more before committing to a purchase.

Personally I've hated random battles in Pokémon for over a decade and I was ecstatic by Let's Go making it go away. Not sure I can recover from this disappointment, I mean I want to battle online but sigh. Hopefully they reveal other aspects that make up for it.
I hope you don't like 6v6 singles, because GF will probably neglect that too.

I believe Pokemon and what we expect from today's generation of consoles kinda outgrew GameFreak, they're a pretty small team of about 150 people working on a first Switch Pokemon game which must be a bit too much on their plate. It's impressive enough they're accepting this challenge.
I would agree if you were talking about some small independent developers or a good series but mediocre sales.
Pokemon regularly has 15 million sales at 40$ backed by one of the biggest company, the Pokemon company and funded by Nintendo.
Now it will sell for 60$ a 50% increase in price.
The above excuse doesn't work with Pokemon

I just watched a chunk of the trailer. I don't play Pokemon, but thought it looked good visually. Are the characters you pick at the beginning of the game (to play as) meant to be you? I just saw a Caucasian boy and girl. Is this typical Nintendo slowness in providing options for people of non-Caucasian backgrounds?

I think they didn't show starter gameplay to not give any tip off to what their typing/future typings will be. Fennekin becoming psychic was obvious right away, and that led to people expecting dark and fighting for the other two. Poppio also showed a fairy move early.

So Scorbunny will probably be a Soccer player(American here so sorry.)

Wonder what the other twos themes could be for their final evo.

Xy and sm/usum both have skin color options you pick at the start. It just wasn't shown in the trailer here.

You can choose your skin colour.
They usually showcase a trailer about the customization feature closer to release

But otherwise they teased a bit with their reveal.
From my point of view the bunny is gonna become steel, the water ghost for obvious reason and grookey fighting type.

Those all seem possible, but no official move tipoffs. Although I don't think gamefreak would want to have another grass/fighting repeat. I could see grass/rock for grookey.

I hope you guys will be happy with the fourth Fire/Fighting starter!

It really must've killed Game Freak to take a break from it for two Gens.

What if it's grass/psychic? Psychic could be more closely related to music in a way, and it could be like its music is hypnotizing?

I'm thinking

Grookey becomes Grass/Ground due to its cricket theme and the way it taps the ground to create a beat.

Scorbunny becomes Fire/Electric due to the magnets on its feet and face. It's also described as "bursting with energy".

Not sure about Sobble though. Didn't get much of an impression from it in the trailer.

It's a huge stretch but the camouflage makes me think Water/Psychic.

I've resolved to not agonize about whether to go into the game unspoiled or look at any data mining that may surface before release this time.

I'll be digging right into those datadumps as soon as they're available.

Could also maybe be Fairy and a druid type that uses music to make plant life grow and flourish

The datamining part is often really fun for me. I love seeing all the Pokemon's stats and movepools immediately. It does ruin a lot of remaining surprises though

Exactly, and for previous game I always hesitated before eventually caving. This time there will be no hesitation.
