Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu/Eevee! |OT| One Step Forward, Six Generations Back

There's no way to use the Pro Controller at all. Basically I'm only ever going to play this handheld.
Gen 4/2 was my favorite but I'm enjoying this a lot (aside from stunning out of anything but normal Pokeballs in Rock Tunnel, yikes) and I'm definitely enjoying it way more than Gen 7.

Added blurbs about local and online multiplayer, if I missed anything else please shoot me a message or @ me in here as this thread has gotten way too big to follow!
Thanks Lelouch0612 for pointing me towards the method for random online battles. :)

meh. Handheld is nice and all, but I only ever use it like that in bed. Half of my excitement for this was to finally have Pokémon on the TV.
What a missed opportunity. Damn, Nintendo.
Just picked up a copy today. Is there really no way for me to use both Joy-cons while docked?
Yes you can.
IV's are mainly for competitive matches, your Pidgey is perfectly fine for single player.
Just buy the pokeball accessory. I been using that and it works fine. I didn't want to unhook the side controllers for this.
Probably because it's a game and controller where the main audience are young children.
Can you use that to play the whole game? I thought it was just for catching pokes.
Just get someone to transfer you a Scyther. I've got Pikachu, so I can send you one once I have some more to spare.
Yes you can use it the whole game. The white circle on the ball is a small joystick so you can move around. Once you get used to it, it works well.
Anyone else playing in Mobile mode instead of on their big screen just because of how uncomfortable the single controls are. if I could turn the controller sideways wouldn't mind it as much but it's a pain in the ass the way it is
I've been playing it on tv with one joycon and find it really comfortable. I thought it was gonna take me a bit to get used to but nah.
I don't mind the one handed controls that much (I wish more RPG's had that option tbh), I just don't like the throwing motion. If docked let me play the same way as portable, just aiming and pressing A, I'd do that mostly, but the way it is I'm mostly portable.
Eh. I mean sure, but it's also meant to be a portable device. So the small size makes sense for that reason.
Damn, my joy con is acting up again. I never play detached joy cons and my right one either misses button presses or randomly disconnects. Any fix out there? is it just the interference of other electronics? No issue with it connected to the switch or when I use a pro
Does Char Mander/Meleon/Izard ever learn a decent fire move?
At 31 and it's only fire move is still Ember. -_-

You can use it as a regular controller. In my opinion, it works better as the single joycon because: with the joycon, you either have to switch your thumb from the stick to the buttons for performing any action (which is really annoying) or you press in the stick as an alternative to "A". The latter is also how the Pokeball plus works (the circle in the middle is a little stick), but due to how the round shape lies in your hand, pressing the stick feels way better to me than on the joycon.
Actually, i kinda hope they keep this control-scheme for Gen 8, even if this is probably very unlikely
Interest piqued!
*looks up price on Amazon*
Jesus. I don't want the bundle because I need the game digitally, so I'd be looking at about $120 with tax for this little Pokémon game.
So how long do I keep the starter Pickachu in my roster? This is my first Pokémon game ever and I'm a bit insecure what to do with the Pokémon's I catch and how to sort out 6 for my fights. From what I understand this game is simplified compared to others games in the franchise. Though I easily beat Misty, I want to avoid running into endgame issues.
The starter Pikachu and Eevee are incredibly OP so you can keep it on your team forever. As for the rest of your team, just fill it with what you like and try to avoid any glaring type weaknesses.
Great localization there. ¬_¬;
It's due to learn fire spin, which isn't that great. If you want a better fire move the TM for Fire Punch is on Route 15 and the TM for Flamethrower is in the 10th floor of the Sliph Co.
I like the Pokeball Plus but I keep moving the joystick every time I click it to select a move.
7 hours!!?
I did it for an hour or so before giving up with a Bold nature
You can also press RZ (or LZ) instead of A. Makes it a lot more comfortable. So that works ok.
Still, I prefer handheld mode for on the go. I'm just bummed that there doesn't seem to be any rumble in handheld mode. :(
Where can you catch Venonat in this? I'm going for a garden-themed team of just Grass/Bug/Poison/Ground types and Venonat is one of my faves.
Does the game get remotely more challenging? Playing the first few hours co-op with my partner it feels like we're just sat pressing one button and moving in between. 9/10 battles are first round finishes. I know Pokemon was never crazy challenging but it feels like we barely even have to care about any kind of strategy whatsoever.
Game Freak....
LOL.
They can't just keep systems that work like PSS, which was so genius.
Co-op makes it a cakewalk. The first few hours are particularly easy. Best way to increase challenge is to use Set mode, box your starter, rotate your team often, and only catch what you need.
