Any chance they would show it at e3 or would that cannibalize the attention for this year's game?
Some questionable decisions in this game.
It's like Gamefreak invented the one step forward two steps back phrase lol.
- No online at all. Wtf? In 2018 that's downright unacceptable. Especially for such a game.
- No random battles. Ok... I honestly wouldn't mind this if they were taking a different approach to wild battles and using overworld models to counter like in some JRPGS but the removal of wild Pokemon battling and making all the interactions purely about catching them? This sucks and basically only appeals to the Go players, sigh.
- Graphics. This point is brought up with every Gamefreak game in recent years, and I can't help but complain again. Game looks completely uncharming with plain artstyle, same washed Pokemon models from the 3DS games and technically unimpressive at all. Why won't anyone from any of the Nintendo dev teams teach them to use Nintendo's hardware more efficiently to achieve better results? And before anyone says something like "but why would they care if it sells 10m units anyway" - there's some truth in it but I'm still disappointed that they basically trap Pokemom games in technical mediocrity, they deserve better.
- What even is this? it's definitely built like a mainline Pokemon game, but it's as if it's made exclusively for nostalgia heavy Go players. Gen 1 only and back to kanto for yet another game. Gee, can't wait to see the same region I already played in like 6 times.
That's just from a few watches of the trailer, I might change my mind later on about few things but can't say I'm excited for now. Will wait to see what the 2019 game is all about.

It's a game set in Kanto where wild Pokemon encounters work like the safari zone (just keep chucking balls and hope you catch the Pokemon before it runs away). No battling wild Pokemon, only trainers.
I swear if there is a shittake generator out there someone point me in the right direction
I love how this looks. Battling is still part of trainers and what not. It's only catching that's like Pokemon Go and that's fine. We get another year of development on the core Pokemon games.
Well, it came across as very rude.
Your point is still asinine; paying for online doesn't mean every game should have online.
And that's the thing. Game Freak is still at a point where a multiplayer-focused, AAA console release may genuinely lack online play.
This is why "We might get Gen 8 & there's a slight chance it won't be as bad as the last 2" isn't enough for me. Game Freak refuses to evolve.
cause it is, is pokemon go Enhanced with some RPG mechanics from the mainline game. the "real main line" is schedules for H2 2019
I hope, really HOPE there's grinding in some way. Maybe training arenas full of trainers to battle anytime you want or something like that.
The no-evovling Eevee thing is a bummer, but it makes me curious as to how they plan to buff standard Eevee.
Because, give Pikachu a Light Ball and it's a legitimately good Pokemon for the main story. I wonder if they'll do something like that for Eevee.

You can, you just need to get a wild eevee. Just put the one you get from the start in the box.
Super bummed at no wild Pokemon battles...I never played pokemon go so I don't know how catching Pokemon will work lol.
Go was free. Is there any chance this is free to play? I just assume it's $60. If it is, standards are higher.
From the trailer, I'm not interested, but that's fine, I have a lot to play this year already. Definitely interested in he 2019 game.
Are there gyms? Is there a story? Do we raise the pokemon and train them? There are so many questions core to the series that are not clear form that trailer.
Gen 8 might suck because games journalists aren't being consistent with their reports on this small side game?
Okay.
Gen 8's been in developement since before the Switch released and they already said it won't be like this game and won't be influenced by GO, but will be moving forward from the handheld entries.
People including myself put love and care into things that end up being terrible looking, it happens.
Sure, I guess this game doesnt feel like somehing that requires it to me. Especially with how easy it appears it may be to catch Pokémon. This looks to be geared as a starter series. More about playing through the story and not the standard affair of prior gens.
That is a fair complaint. I'll probably be forever unhappy with Nintendo and their online offerings
Never thought id see a bigger overreaction than the Wind Waker reveal but here we are
I...guess so? unfortunate now that they have a game running 1080p @ 60

I actually think not being able to trade or battle is what sunk Pokemon Go so fast. At least that's why I dropped it. If I couldn't battle or trade with other people I didn't see a point
A story is a given. It's a safe bet that there will be gyms and of course the main goal will be to beat the E4 and champion.
They could use this game if we can use the Pokémon Bank......unless that's hard-locked to only let Kanto Pokémon through.
cause "us players" should be smart enough to realize this is an SPIN OFF of the main series. take it as you might
this is not a main pokemon is an enhanced GO. I dont get why people is trying to hard to ignore that little argument. is an RPG casual spin off of the main series mixing GO elements and RPG elements, thats it.
X/Y came out 2.5 years into 3DS's life as well.
Dunno why you think 8th Gen being next year will automatically save it from bring rushed.
Cycling Road is now just a regular Route. It seems that PokeRide replacing the bike in SuMo has carried over to this game.
He's leaning more in the trailer because Pikachu is shoulder mounted, so he looks on Lapras's right and Pika looks on the left. If you have Eevee, a neutral stance will be held.
Apparently the PC has been removed? GS says boxed Pokemon are kept on your person.
The fact that you can catch wild Eevee makes that completely irrelevant.
You're probably right that they're going to focus on let's go this year and Pokémon 8 gen in 2019
So they kept the worst feature of Pokémon Yellow, not being able to evolve Pikachu, and chose Eevee "the evolution pokémon" to not evolve at all in the game too?
This is too good of a metaphor for Masuda's directing of the Pokémon IP.

Looks fun. Kinda iffy on some stuff, but TBH, the removal of wild Pokémon battling doesn't bother me too much since it was always kind of boring for me. Like, there was seldom a situation where I couldn't faceroll whatever was encountered, or use a status effect+false swipes/whatever to make it easy to catch.
We'll see. Lots of other variables to determine the net gain/loss of it all, IMO.

Why is it a terrible way ?
They put out a trailer, had a press conference and announced stuff on social media.
Pretty much marketing 101 in 2018.
I agree with you, I dont understand why fans are so mad about LGP/E...
And then Gamespot said there is online.
It's a mess, we have to wait for official word.
Here's the thing, not every game is gonna appeal to you. Does Pokepark, Hey You Pikachu, or Pokemon Channel appeal to you? Probably not. They have their audiences and the main game is coming next year.
You wouldn't want the main game this year it would suck if it was rushed that fast, this is a game to tide us over for now. You don't have to like or buy it really. Me personally this is fantastic and I love all of what they are doing.
I've felt the games got way too complex and bloated in recent years and with this I can just have a simple game to pick up and play and have fun. I love the motion controls too, I've been wanting to throw a Pokeball in-game ever since Wii.

User Banned (3 Days): Inappropriate commentary.
Guys, why are we not talking about the best part of the reveal trailer
I think you forgot a "not" at the end of that sentence. It doesn't exist in my mind that we have a new Pokémon game on Switch that will get all the marketing and then having it not present for Worlds.
