Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Rules out the new Pokemon being a new Eevee/ Pikachu evolution as well.
I can't wait for Gen 8 to introduce a new Eeveelution that would have been awesome to debut in this game instead.
lmao
lmao
I played gold, and then heart gold. heart gold wasn't literally the same, but new graphics.
If it's in the vein of Pokémon Yellow, then it's possible that might be the only difference. Plan accordingly.
I think it would have been way more interesting to just do a focus on the original 151 but mix in some of the popular favorites from later gens too. Even if random Pokemon doesn't seem to be a thing, I'm not looking forward to just having Zubats in caves and Tentacool in the oceans again. The newer games were great in this aspect because of the variety in every area.
I'm kinda excited for Pokemon Let's Go! because if I wanted to play a Pokemon game, this would be my first Pokemon game and besides if you guys want a new mainline title for Pokemon, perhaps Pokemon Let's Go! would be the first game for casuals and if people want more Pokemon after they've played Pokemon Let's Go!, then this would be the next Evolution for them.
Acting as if kids and casuals won't know anything about Eevee or its evolutions while simultaneously being interested in Eevee version over the Pikachu one is the most bleak view of the young human psyche I've ever seen. Let's give them some credit, enough to hope that they might be confused that the literal Evolution Pokémon is unable to evolve.
Wait.
You. Can't. Evolve. Eevee.
Ok. Im out. Fuck this shit.
I don't mind the direction, but these decisions are just baffling. No online? Guess I can't battle or trade with my friends. Restricting eevee evolutions in a role playing game?? Why why why.
Can you capture another eevee and evolve it at least?

It's literally a stripped down remake of a mainline game.
The "core rpg" everyone is getting mad at for
Not getting is next year, this is an improved version of GO with more element from teh core games but still are not the core games

I'm pretty happy about the Pokemon being out and about in the wild, and not having random battles when exploring. This is simply a necessary gameplay evolution I feel.
That you can't battle them and don't have to weaken them to catch them is disappointing though. That and the no online thing.
Still, I think this looks good and will probably get it this fall.

Well seeing as Game Freak said it's a "core rpg for all" I beg to differ. A casual mainline game yes but still a mainline game.
Interesting. Eevee would need a stat buff, but I'm assuming we still have a pick of actual starters though and the following Pokemon are more like cheerleaders.
I wonder if we can still trade them, evolve them in another game, then bring them back like we could do in Pokemon Yellow with Pikachu.
I think with the portability of the Switch online play isn't very important to the core audience of Pokémon games which is children. I won't let my daughters play online games (5 and 8) but I'm willing to let my eldest take her switch with her tona friends house.
Im a bit confused as to the marketing and target audience here.
GO appealed to so many people for its f2p mobile social app aspects, while this seems to be a story based couch game on a fairly expensive new console and full priced (?) game, while seemingly doing away with many things that would sell the game to its loyal fanbase? Its a strange direction.
also only 1 new pokemon sounds like neither pikachu or eevee get anything new :(

Man, the game looks fantastic. Really smart of them to bring this out to help merge the more casual crowd/Go crowd, get them to buy a Switch and the core game next year.
Love how it looks too.

I think it's the Alolan variants and not actually Alolan Pokémon.
Yea that would definitely be cool. I wonder if they plan on adding more like they did in Go.
No just the Alolan forms of Kanto pokes like Vulpix and Raichu, etc.
I mean nowhere does it say the 2019 game's platform and the only comment was how Let's Go is a more "home" experience while 2019 game will be more handheld oriented...
Except they just implied you can evolve one in the wild. So what's the point of blocking the evolutions???
Full RPG =/= mainline
Mainline is next year, this is Go improved with several RPG elementa from the main series
I couldn't skip ORAS because it's Hoenn. USUM should have been the first though. What a boring game.
No kidding. You couldn't evolve Pikachu in Yellow, either. They are being consistent with Yellow by not allowing the starter Pokemon to evolve.
151 Pokémon (ok we already knew)
No wild battles (after all it is a more casual game, we can let it pass)
But no online? WHY!?
