Given they showed random encounters, that means it's actually taking a step backwards from the previous games lol.

Sobble all the way. Hopefully the evolutions don't look bad, Osawott style.
Pokemon on the world map >³ random encounters, get with the time.

By Pokemon Direct standards, that was fantastic. It looks great, and seems to be all I was hoping for minus a free camera.
How are people disappointed in the graphics? It looks gorgeous — much better than I anticipated, albeit still with a fixed camera.
Don't know what to think of the starters yet. None of them grab me, but they all have great potential for evolutions, which'll be the deciding factor as always.

Wait, did people expect anything more than the 3DS engine in HD? lol
I'm also entertained by the fact that Let's Go ended up being more of a step forward than this, by what we are seeing now.
Anyway, region, artstyle, starters, all looks good. I'm buying it.

Here's my issue with them:
They all take the same general shape. Too smooth, too round, no well-defined details. All 3 looks like they come from the same base. All of them look like they can't support the weight of their own heads. Starters... need some bulk, y'know? They can't be cute if they don't look somewhat plausible. Maybe it's the case where the same designer designed all 3? I'm not sure.
Another Grass monkey.

Also, hope the world isn't that linear and in one direction as it looks on the world map, that's a bit boring.
- More of the same, fixed camera
- Random encounters
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Will buy, but definitely not day 1.

My choice to completely ignore Let's Go was a good one, I think. This is a Pokémon game I actually want to play.
I'm disappointed but not surprised random encounters are back, but all in all, this looks far better than I expected. I came in expected Let's Go but with a new region, so can't complain.
What about anything that was shown reminded you of BOTW? Were you watching a different direct to everybody else?
Love it! Starters need some time to grow on me, so far my pick would be Grookey, but that might change. Game looks great though.
Well... Apparently it's not GameFreak's time either.
So happy all the PLG crap is not on this game.
Well, I'm still in, but it definitely killed my hype a bit. I wanted to say "holy crap!" but instead I said, "Yep, that's Pokemon."
Honestly I should have been expecting that, I'm a damn fool.
And those starters. Yikes.

Masuda speaking about how it will be easy for those who played Let's Go to pick up fills me with pure dread.
