Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I know that this is a dumb question but can you Choose Pikachu in Let's Go Eevee and vice versa?
This whole time I've been under the impression that starter Pikachu is locked to Let's Go Pikachu with wild Eevee's being out in Kanto somewhere and Starter Eevee is locked in Let's Go Eevee with Pikachu's out in the wild in Kanto.
Then I saw a 3rd Poké Ball and figure that you'll get a choice between your cover starter version and whatever was in that 3rd Poké in Oaks lab with the opposite cover starter going to your rival.
Hmm doesn't look too bad. I see that Brock's Pokémon have rock type moves, though I wonder what TM that he will give as a prize?
Come on now, every Pokémon game since gen 2 had some form of cutscene either in the bedroom or after leaving it.
Yeah you're mistaken if you think that was them trying to lower the difficulty down as Metal Claw is useless due to rock type having higher defenses oh and the fact that Brock's Pokémon actually have a rock type move that not only pack a punch but also lowers the Pokémon speed.
Giving Charmander metal claw simply isn't going to cut it.
So Alolan form and Megas, potentially, are allowed in the game but cross gen evolution for the gen 1 Pokémon aren't.
I don't get Game Freak's logic and more so for Megas as they are designed for the meta game rather than the single player mode.
Nope, Gen 1 is the only game in the entire series where you could actually get away in not talking to your mother. I mean it's rude but it's possible.
Gen 2 changed that and put in the moral message of;
"Hey kids be nice to your mother and say goodbye."
They even changed it in the gen 1 remake as the mother would send the player the running shoe as a present, which the player would get after defeating Brock.
He said;
"God damn I am too old for this gen 1 pandering nonsense." ;p
Game Freak have stated many time that they are trying to aimed at both the causal and hardcore crowd but seemed to be doing a bad job of understand optional difficulty and respecting the players' skill set.
Yuuuup I guess Game Freak randomly gave Charmander a super effective move against rock types. /s I wrecked Brock's gym with that move.
Man, having Pokemon in the overworld really does add a lot to make those environments pop out. Pre-ordered LG Pikachu because of Electric STAB and Snorlax (no doubles on type) but I have a feeling both Pikachu and Eevee are both gonna get an entirely brand new move to make them stand out even more, just speculation though.
Also here's my team because why not
Pikachu
Blastoise
Nidoking
Machamp
Alakazam
Snorlax

The behind the scenes footage had this
has customization gone too far
(if it wasnt such low quality id use that as an avatar)

Well then I guess you're a better Pokémon trainer than me as I have never won with Charmander solo.
I don't think that's a customization, I think it's the animation from the original yellow if player talked to Pikachu after fishing as he did the same thing.

Oh you're right. I didnt think it was a costume, but didnt really know what it was either way.
Still Rock Tomb I'd guess.
It probably has the same AI as it did in FRLG where it only uses the move when it can get a KO with it.
Getting those rare spawn high level Dugtrio might be easier in Let's Go.
Though they might have nerfed their level a bit to compensate.
Man watching that footage has made me really excited for the game now. I do agree that some of the decisions are dumb and silly but the game just looks so good that I'm willing to overlook it. The visuals, music, and animations just look so freaking slick the part where I just started to love this game is how it sold Onix being a goddamn behemoth compared to Pikachu. Considering Gamefreak at least attempts to make improvements from game to game in terms of presentation I am super eager for Gen 8/2019.
Also this might be me being a dumbass but is the game 60 frames? The youtube player has it at 1080 60 and the footage looks awfully smooth. Am I wrong or is it actually 60?

Diglett's Cave has always been a long empty hallway with no items or trainers. The layout really should have been redesigned to be more interesting for a game that lacks random encounters, but eh, gotta get those nostalgia bucks.
Also Golem rolling looks fantastic.
Even though I always saw Venusaur as being based on a toad, it's still kinda crazy to see it hopping around like one.
After rewatching some of the newer footage, I really wish the world was scaled up a bit in size. Everything feels tiny and overcrowded. Almost cluttered with the wild pokemon. I really like the idea of wild Pokemon being on the field but they need more space.
You know, the more I see of this game, the more I'm reminded of Mega Man Powered Up and its design ethos as a remake. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Does anyone else see what I mean?
I can't unsee it as a giant toad/frog now instead of this weird plant dinosaur thing I always thought it was
I hope it as true. I think it could appeal to Gen 1 fans. If anyone is old enough to remember back in the Gen 1 days of rumors of PokeGods which were rumored fourth evolutions for some Pokemon. For example, Charizard evolving into a PokeGod called Charkoal.
Yeah I dont understand that either. At the very least Gen 2 cross gen evos only. However, I suppose with Alolan versions and mega evolutions they can still advertise original 151 only.
Also agreed with long term fans in many senses. There has been more than enough evidence that there is a large young adult audience. Some of which bought the original games and continue to purchase Pokemon titles. I'd like to see GF try to make some appeals to this audience. Sun and Moon felt like 'My First Pokemon' and it was downright frustrating. Dont get me wrong, I felt the 3DS games actually introduced a lot of good ideas. I felt the games were a bit more rough and uneven but it made up with different and fun ideas. I feel the content and some of the things done in Gen 4 and 5 were amazing and I desperately want them to return. Fanbase wise, I feel that the DS games are very overated. While they had better world design, difficulty and post game content. I felt there was a lot of things that the 3DS titles did that made them more appealing and pushing boundaries.

No joke. This is amazing - I never imagined Venasaur moving like that.
That's crazy, but given the way his leg joints are positioned it makes perfect sense.
And it just occurred to me, the Kanto starters are a turtle, a lizard, and a frog! They're the exact sort of animals a little boy would find when exploring, pick up, and try to make a pet.
Pretty sure these are the models that have been used since XY.
Though to be fair those were supposed to be fairly future proofed.
Sun and Moon Pokemon have walking and running animations gives me hope Pokemon 2019 will include Pokemon companion too. Also the music in these videos are amazing.
The models aren't bad but for example Onyx almost looks like it's just a textured model with uniform lighting and diffuse shading.
The reorchestrated music is absolutely phenomenal and I will never complain about it.
I always forget that Diglett Cave used the Viridian Forest music and not the Mt. Moon theme.
Of course they are the same models. They have been used in every game and 3D CG since 2013. They are very detailed and high quality (that's why the 3DS games had performance issues as GF didn't even bother to optimize the models).
Pokémon 2019 and every main Pokemon game in the near future will continue to use them.
omfg my heart is melting....
Venusaur following me around is da bes.... ;3;
caterpie being left behind makes me a bit sad. Maybe its because of how its described as being commonly killed by birds but its walking passed a few in the video.
I wish they didn't make them cute or personable so I didn't have to feel bad about caterpillars :(

I only realize now it looks like a frog. The name confused me so I saw him as a kind of dinosaur.
My biggest hope for this game is to receive updates like many Nintendo games do nowadays. Is the possibility of other gen pokemon being added later 100% ruled out?

They are pushing a new game out in 2019, don't expect any huge updates in terms of like new regions or new pokemon. They seem annoyingly dedicated to the original 151, even foregoing stuff everyone would like such as Espeon, Umbreon, Crobat, Elekid and more.
It's another reason why I think Go seems better value than this. Go is going to get updated for years to come, Sinnoh Update, Unova Update, Kalos Update, Alola Update and beyond. Let's Go is only going to get minor support when the 2019 games roll around (More-so if that's a new generation). Gonna make some people annoyed that they can't transfer from Let's Go to Go as they will probably be playing Go for longer.
I'm also still amazed they haven't confirmed Pokebank support yet. It's August now.
I was thinking that maybe because of Let's Go nature and differences they could follow a Pokemon Go approach and each year release some big expansion that adds stuff. It's a long shot, I wouldn't bet money on it but as I said different games so you never know...
The problem with Go is that you don't get attached to your Pokemon, you just constantly find new ones and keep those with strong IVs but it's not like you can really train them to be stronger.
I really hope Megas are in. It's the best new mechanic since abilities.
Let's Go probably won't have Pokébank support. All the 151 pokémon are in these games and anything else can't be imported. There's no use for Pokébank here, other than maybe "Man, I'd really like to bring that Charizard from X" which I don't think is their priority in this game. Plus, they will most likely force Pokéball Plus as the definitive only way to get a Mew. You won't even be able to transfer it from Go. So there's that.
