Ah yeah, it's decent and works, but I can see why some people are disappointed at the graphics, I too was disappointed at them when I first started playing, but already got over it. What I'm more concerned about now is how imprecise my throws will be once I start facing more Pokémon who move all over the screen, Zubat is annoying af.

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

Rotating seems necessary to make sure things aren't overleveled. I've been using all sorts of Pokemon throughout the game so far and it's helped create something of a challenge of it. My team was underleveled for Lt. Surge and his thunderbolts were even hurting my grass types (though I had Sandshrew with dig which helped). I guess the beauty of these games is thanks to the catching mechanics, this sort of playstyle of using many different Pokemon works. Shame there's only 151 to choose from!
Preach. Hoping it doesn't become too tedious especially if any of the shinies I want late game move around a load.
Do shinies run away? It would fucking suck if one ran away because the game decided to be a bitch and I ended up missing several throws. I actually don't like the fact that Pokémon can run away here, that's not something from Go I expected to come over.
Haha, I'm using Kanto Raticate and having the same experience. That ghost immunity and Crunch do wonders
What would you even do with the second Joycon?
I thought the problem was so overblown. I had no issues from the moment I started. It's relaxing having a free hand to adjust your comfort position.
So I got to Fuschia. Transferred a bunch of Pokémon
Got the Mysterious Box onto my Go Account
Spent 30 minutes catching 1 single Meltan every few minutes
Ended up catching 10 altogether
Holy fucking shit this is the dumbest mythical obtaining process Game Freak has ever come up with
Who is this for? Like who would ever find this fun? Really? What kid or casual player is going to want to spend 6 weeks (Assuming you Pinap every single one) just trying to evolve this thing? Not to mention, of the 10 I caught not even 1 has amazing IVs that mythicals are supposed to have
Imagine if this game had an actual event quest for Meltan and its evolutionary process instead of this tedium

I'm not sure but building a streak can be irritating. I lost a 70+ Geodude one earlier because one decided to run straight after breaking from a Great! throw. So now I'm not bothering with streaks until the late game, as wasted a load of money and overlevelled the Pokemon - thankfully I had saved before the 70+ streak and after an 18 one so clawed most of it back.
I could do that, but I don't really enjoy having to gimp myself. Can't really blame this game because that's been the case since X/Y. I wish you could disable exp.all and they gave you an exp boost for the mon you are training instead. Also it doesn't help that the catching minigame is getting too repetitive for my taste...
One thing I really find not well thought out about all this is that you have to waste balls (and therefore money) if you want lower level mons to catch up, which feels rather punishing if you want to change your team midgame...
Spread out the inputs to both hands? Like how is this a question?
It's very uncomfortable for me to hold a single Joy-Con and extend my finger to the triggers and move my thumb to the face buttons. The Joy-Con grip feels good to me, and the game already has the controls for a joy-con pair in handheld mode, so there is zero reason to not have the option of using both Joy-Cons.
Regular PokeBalls aren't free? That doesn't make sense.
It should have been unlimited free PokeBalls, but all the other types of balls are finite or buyable.
Played the game for the first time this evening with my daughter and the Pokeball really made the experience for her.
When you throw a ball and catch a Pokémon it rumbles and lights up in time to what's happening on screen. When the Pokémon is caught it goes green and lets out the Pokemon's cry. I recommend it
There is at least one npc in the game who gives you pokeballs if you run out.
Right. Each single joycon set-up felt really uncomfortable to me as well.
If I use the left one, controls are fine, but I'm right handed so throwing feels uncomfortable.
If I use the right one, the stick is way too low and uncomfortable, but throwing is fine.
Ideally, I'd have liked using directions with the left and using buttons and throw with the right one.
So now, I'm actually using the left joy-con in my right hand, which isn't ideal, but the most comfortable set-up I found while docked.
Regular balls are $100. I think there are some NPCs that will give you some if you run out, but I have no idea if you can do this indefinitely, and they're mostly in locations that are difficult to access (inside caves).

Yeah, I was actually considering using Meltan on my team but once I found out that it can only evolve in Go and requires 400 candies, I was like fuck that as I don't have that many Pokéball nor do I have the time to halt my adventure to grind on a companion app to get a Pokémon that is the only non gen 1 Pokémon.
This has probably been discussed to death, but if there is a Let's Go for Johto, who do y'all suppose would be the two starters? Assuming they go that route again, of course.
Wait, you can catch several during those 30 minutes? I thought it was only one. Also, how does it work then? They spawn every 2 minutes or is it just like incenses where walking will actually make more spawn?
They spawn every 3 minutes. You can just stand still, you don't have to walk around. Walking around doesn't make them spawn more, I tried that.
I'm hopefully gen 8 just creates an alternative evolution process
Go to the go park in Fuchsia. Transfer over a Pokémon from your Pokémon GO account. Your Go account will receive a mysterious box.
Play Pokémon GO, got to your bag and activate the mysterious box. Meltan will spawn for 30 minutes. You can only do this once a week.
Ah I see. So how do you exactly get Metal? You trade one Pokémon from Go to Let's Go and you get the box? Then you open said box? Does it have to be one Pokémon or do you need to transfer several Pokémon?
It can be just one.
Then yeah, you open the box in Go and Meltan will spawn for 30 minutes.
Does anyone elses Pokéball Plus not make a sound and light up when connected to a charger? Mine makes sounds and lights up perfectly while in-game, during Pokémon GO and when I roll it around with a Pokémon inside, but when I connect it to a charger nothing happened. It worked one time yesterday when I first unboxed the thing, but after that nothing. I've tried different chargers and charging bricks, and nothing seems to work :/. I already hard resetted it with the tiny button on the side, but that didn't change anything either.
Amazon messed up my order of Let's Go Pikachu (won't deliver till Monday at the earliest), so I went to the store on Friday and picked up the Eevee version just so I could try the game out over the weekend (but not take it too seriously as I want the Pikachu version to be my 'main'). Having so much fun though that I can't stop playing, 4 gyms down and barely any roadblocks now stopping me from ticking the rest off consecutively.
Since I'm not taking things too seriously I decided to use an all normal team - I normally never use Normal types so it's been a fun change. Porygon is really cool, and riding in Kangaskhan/on Snorlax is hilarious.
I had a good feeling about the introduction of the capture mechanic/overworld Pokemon, and I'm happy to see it's been received (mostly) well. I love it even more than I thought I would, personally. It's refreshing to have a new part of the core gameplay loop in Pokemon. Instead of Overworld/Battle, it's now Overworld/Battle/Catch, and the game is better for it. I hope this mechanic is around to stay, but who knows. If it isn't, I think I'll be looking more forward to Let's Go Johto/Sinnoh then I will be the main series.

Can you not buddy up with Meltan in GO and get candies that way?
That's beautiful man! I need to hunt one down...my kid was mesmerized with play with Evee option. This is a good game...I get why the hardcore competitive Poke bros aren't into it but this is a fan fucking tastic version of the game for the non hardcore/lapsed Pokefans who might have kids.
Would this make a good first Pokemon game?
It looks charming and I'm ok with simplicity in general...but I hopped around a stream of the first couple hours and nearly every single battle was won by just picking a single move and it was over. That easiness combined with the simplistic story may be a struggle for me, unless there's more than meets the eye.

I could use the parts the switch came with and have a regular controller instead of one third of one. I would rather play with a regular controller than one that fells like a step down from an NES controller.
It strikes me as incredibly short sighted and dumb, especially since having tons of options in configuring the joycons is a major selling point of the switch.
Yikes. It also just dawned on me that you can't back up your save files to the cloud so if anything happens to the Switch, you could lose every instance of Mew too.
