I just... ugh.
Like, seriously, this is just wild. They didn't simply remove one of the Pokemon. They removed one, and made the remainder half the level of what they originally were. Yeah sure, level 3 from 6 isn't HUGE, but it's damn telling what's to expect from the rest of the battles. This is just... too easy looking.
I trust them, but I got the game for like 37.99$USD too so even if it's a miss the blow won't be too hard. :lol
That's very true. That's what appeals to me too. That you can walk with your dog and catch Pokemon in the meantime. Which is why I suppose they're integrating aspects of that in Let's Go with the Pokeball Plus functioning as a real Pokeball you can take with you.
Also as nice as the pokemon roaming the world is, seeing them all just walk around randomly with no rhyme or reason just looks like a giant clusterfuck.
If they do bring THAT back for gen 8 I really hope they actually have the pokemon actually living in their environments decently and the worlds scope fits that, if they can't just leave that shit as random battles

How? This was your first post on the subject.
I'm just telling you that you're wrong, and that you can play Go without worrying about any of those things.
And they added the ability for you to have a partner drop in and help you out, just in case those changes still pose too big a challenge
Because you saying you and your girlfriend have done it a tonne does not mean anything for my own user experience. If you had like some high Pokédex completion, I'd probably buy that you both aren't just lucky and I'm just unlucky.
Nah, kids are pretty stupid. There's a specific reason why Unova was so linear after the (comparatively) labyrinthine layout of Sinnoh.
If you're saying you need to use razzberries, curve throws and aim for a small circle to catch most Pokemon, Id question if you'd even played Go tbh.
I didn't say you needed all of those things all at once or on most Pokémon.
If they want to make EC games, then drop the pretense that the games are for everyone. If they want to make games actually for everyone they need to realize that 4 year old still learning to read probably won't be able to get through the game alone/without help and that's ok
This thread has really been eye opening.
Now I understand why The Pokemon Company is begging their fans not to be upset with them and had to announce a game that they literally don't have anything to show of alongside this reveal.
You guys are right. How dare they make something else. The balls on these guys at The Pokemon Company. Wanting to try something new.
Of of course I'd love that back. Was probably the best feature they did imo
Remaking a game that's already been remade once before is trying something new now huh
Kids are playing Minecraft and Fortnite just fine. All they needed was some QoL features to have an idea of where to go next in case they didn't get the memo, not turn the world into a literal straight line.
Then what are you saying? Someone said catching Pokémon in Go was simple and you responded with "Nuh-uh, berries and circles and curves". I explained that you rarely need to use those and now you're saying "I know".
What was your original point then? How is catching Pokémon in Go not a simple affair?

I'm genuinely curious whose idea it was to make an already easy game not just easier, but significantly easier.
It's incredible, really. Making already easy battles completely brain dead easy. Changing catching to be even more tedious by making every encounter identical, regardless of species/type.
I cannot for the life of me fathom these decisions.
Did you try the new cheese burger? It's just like it but it doesn't have cheese!
I can't beat this trainer's level 2 Pidgey with my level 10 Pikachu, HELP.
But seriously... do GameFreak believe that kids (or casuals, or whoever the targeted audience is) are this incapable of playing the game in the state it originally was in? And of course, I mean in regards to the trainer levels and Pokemon count. This is just... THIS DOESN'T LOOK FUN TO ME, I'M SORRY, GF.
There's a difference between making something new and spitting all over everything that came before it.
It's super hilarious just because they have their jr division at worlds for the card game and battles in the main game
SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Get this children are stupid talk out of here. Children are in a constant state of learning and expanding.
I love how when confronted with legitimate questions you deflect and start talking about other things instead of even attempting to answer it. The crux of complaints is that we have a series that has already been targeting everyone, and in recent years has actually started reducing difficulty and skewing younger, have a game announced that somehow seems to be made even easier than the already easy difficulty. And because we have the gall to ask legitimate questions about the reason for this, you get annoyed?
Hahaha, dude you're being exagger...

Oh god.
That's also the point. Even when you try to make a product "for everyone" you have to draw the bottom line **somewhere**. If that means leaving out kids in kindergarten that can barely read and adults that find current mainline Pokémon games too confusing or complicated (they're not), so be it. You just can't make a JRPG happen catering to people that either cannot or would rather not read.
It's like Game Freak always gets the wrong message every single time. Sinnoh too confusing and maze-like? Next region is a straight line instead of attempting some QoL, next objective reminders and map pointers. Kids are dropping the game? "They must be too hard, dumb them down even more" instead of realising they are alienated by the handholding and can handle complicated experiences like Minecraft just fine. Not many people reach the end game facilities or will enjoy them? Just cut them out completely and piss people off instead of making it more attractive to casual players.

My point was that it was not a fast no nonsense affair. You need to do some of those things if you dont want a Pokémon to break free and run away. It's not even fast no nonsense affair in the e3 tree house live stream.
You didn't explain anything. You said I was wrong because you and your girlfriend have seemingly magaged to catch'em all by just chucking Pokéballs and I'm supposed to believe you over my own experience.
They insist on calling this a mainline title so I'm going to judge it as such. They actively removed things I enjoyed from this game while adding nothing in return IMO. I'm going to be upset by that and I feel I should be allowed to voice my frustrations.
Bring different does not inherently mean it'll be good or that I must enjoy it.
And don't tell me "it's not for you" because the Pokémon Company sure is trying to tell me otherwise.
Even if you need to use a berry or something, which you really don't in almost every case, that's literally tapping twice on your screen before throwing a ball. How is that anything but "no nonsense"? You don't need to worry about type match ups, status effects, weakening the Pokemon, move PP, healing etc. It's as simple as it possibly could be.
What to you would be a "no nonsense" approach to catching Pokémon?

I have no doubt they made the game more, for lack of a better word, "casual" to attract new gamers
But I would not put that much stock for a demo built for E3. It's meant to showcase the game and doesn't have to be 1:1
Man... I GUESS... this really could be seen as an attempt at grabbing the casual crowd. Like people who do not know the core elements of Pokemon outside of the catching. Because at this point, that is the only group of people I could imagine would struggle with the battle mechanics. BUT EVEN THEN. If young children are jumping into competitive Pokemon, then there is no real excuse. The game shouldn't have this level of hand-holding or ease. Dawg, this is just baby mode.
That's called a hamburger and there are people who eat them?
No it's our new cheeseburger we are trying to market our new cheeseburger to people who love cheeseburgers
As long as trainer battles work traditionally, I'm fine with it, along with getting exp and leveling from them. Random battles/traditional catching doesn't matter much to me.
The parallelisms with E3 2008 and a holidays of Wii Music and Animal Crossing DS Port With New
Co-op is a new feature introduced in the game. It wasn't just made for the E3 demo. It was also featured in the reveal trailer and commented on during interviews. I'd understand this if the difficulty remained the same, but it largely seems to have been added to allow parents and children (well, people in general) to play together
It's hard for me to trust them after Sun/Moon. They keep simplifying the series for kids and yet, I strongly contest the notion that the series was ever so complicated that it presented a high barrier of entry for children.
Kids are playing all sorts of stuff these days. Pokemon being complicated is a non issue.
