I think he'll find its riding animation hilarious!
I might swap out Lapras for a Gengar, but yeah, that team's pretty great!

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

I love the joycons, thought I'd hate the brown Eevee one but I don't
Man they nerfed the final stretch of the game hard
Including the last gym leader which was already pretty easy and didnt need to be made even more pathetic

Surely Archer being in this game is set-up for a Johto Let's Go game? I don't really see the point in it aside from setting him up as the primary antagonist in that.
As a casual Pokemon player, I'm loving this game. I've only spend a ton of time /w the first 3DS game and played a little of the game after that. Despite being worried about that the simplification would mean for the Let's Go games, I'm having a ton of fun and don't even miss the exclusions. Its too early to tell for sure, but it feels like by the time I'm done, I'll actually prefer the Let's Go series over the last few mainline Pokemon games.
Holy fuck how much time did that take? I got to 43 something with Drowzee just because I wanted to level up a bit and got bored, broke it by purposefully going for a Chansey.
Well IIRC Matsuda has straight up soft confirmed Let's Go as a side series at this point.
Wait, did you succeed in your Charmander crusade or did you cave in and accepted the shiny Mankey? I'm actually curious!
I keep reading elsewhere 70+ gives you 5 and 110+ gives your perfect IVs
But some folks here are reporting anything over 30 doesnt do anything more.
2soon
Because Joe originally had the 70+/111 numbers on his site but has since corrected his information and said the original datamine data is correct.
I'm just finishing with the thunder badge and I just got some pikachu candy. Should I use now or save for any reason?
I got a shiny rattata at 101 but I didn't see a nidoran before 160, and when you Google it people are going up to 300.
Question... How do IVs work in this game? If I get a Pokemon with "OK Stats," what does feeding Candy do? Does Celadon's store still sell things like Protein and whatnot? Is it possible to lift up IVs with those, or is a Pokemon with OK Stats doomed to remain that way?
Sorry, it's been a long time since I've cares to look into IVs.

I just stopped at 31 and for about 2 hours now I've been running from Pokemon. Less work and I don't have to worry about breaking the chain, but damn if it isn't taking much longer than I'd expected.
I forgot how much content was in the original pokemon games. This is definitely the best version of R/B, but it also illustrates exactly how well designed they were at the time. The only problem I have with this game is the inane and poorly implemented joy-con catch mechanic, everything else is truly stellar. It's impressive that games that I played through so many times long ago can feel fresh, they really managed to recapture that "magic" feeling that brought this franchise into the spotlight the first time around.
I saw one at 30.
The key is to find a large zone with lots of Pokemon in the overworld. That increases your odds dramatically + you can stop at 31, it doesn't get better after that point. Using Lure is recommended too.
31 chains + activating a lure gives you the highest odds of a shiny appearing.
Experience gains in this game make no sense. At all. Either that or I'm missing something.
Here I caught a level 45 Magmar. Combo bonus, size bonus, and an excellent throw. 1,426 XP. Cool.
A few minutes later, I land a great throw, and get the combo and size bonus. Except now I'm getting double the XP despite making a worse throw with everything else staying the same.
And then I break the combo, so I don't get the combo bonus, but catch one on my first throw. Get it on a great throw and a size bonus. Suddenly I get a massive 9.0 multiplier without any combo bonus at all. And no excellent throw.
None of this makes any sense and it all seems entirely random.

If you stop at 30 you won't be able to boost all of its stats by 200 with candy once you're done tho

In terms of size bonus, there is a significant gap between the S/L Pokemon and the XL/XS ones. That might explain one part.
Glad it's not just me! :) Thanks for the replies, can't wait to play more after work tomorrow! Maybe I'll take my pokeball with me...
At the third gym badge now. I haven't been using my Pikachu much and it really skewed the difficulty to the point where it's just in line or a tad bit harder than Yellow back in the day. I'm really enjoying my time with this.
Feels just like a mainline Pokémon game. I don't feel like I'm having any less fun.

This is ironic because Bill in this game looks like Todd Howard to me.
Gotta love games which allow you to choose the name of one or more characters.
I'm the only dark skinned person in Kanto, which feels really weird.
A lot of the NPC models aren't really diverse at all compared to previous games. This was a good chance for Game Freak to update the designs.
I've noticed that a lot of the Coach trainers have more ethnic names like Priya, the one in the route between Lavender and Fuschia, despite their models not being diverse. It seems like an attempt by NoA localisation of fixing things.

I found the difficulty to be quite fun in the end (just beat the elite 4). I never wiped but there were quite a few times in gyms or against tougher trainers where half of my team had fainted. I never really levelled much past the average levels of the pokemon I was facing, tended to avoid a lot of trainer battles and rarely did much catching grinding.
It's surprising how much freedom they give you, even if it is a remake. I like how you can do Blaine before Sabrina and how you can deal with Erika before doing the Team Rocket hideout. I thought it would be much more on rails considering its accessibility. What's also great is that there's always a place to go if you don't know what to do in an area for the most part.
Living Dex update! I have every single Pokemon in all their forms/stages (inc. all Alolan forms) except for Lickitung, Kabuto (I have Kabutops), Omanyt, Omastar and Mewtwo.
I think I can get all those that I'm missing in Cerulean cave after I beat the Elite Four, which I'm going to do in the morning. (I heard fossils are hidden there too?)
Then I guess after that I'll probably put the game down with a full Box of all 151 + Alolan forms. I do have Meltan but Melmetal is insane requiring 400 candies but I might get that one day.

Congrats ! That's impressive.
Will you do some Shiny hunting after that ?
So I bought a Pokeball plus at Walmart today. I think I'll be returning it tomorrow. Too small, hurts my hand after a few minutes is gripping.
I might hassle Nintendo to give me a refund for this stupid game too. I figured the portable catching would use the touchscreen, but no, it's just the damn gyro. Something the Pro controller already has. These assholes literally already have the control method implemented, they just refuse to let us use it. Fucking unbelievable.

It's pretty great, fun, simple, and it will tide you over perfectly until Smash.
Why is Helping Hand in this game?
Why is Helping Hand a TM?
You can count the number of double battles in this game on one hand.
Was it added exclusively for co-op?

Probably yeah, the shiny charm should make it easier. I'll slowly work through the master trainers too.
How do you get your Tweets to show on Era like that? Best I can do is a link
