Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
They solved this in the first games with gym badges. I imagine it'll be the same here.
I've seen the Switch do wonders for a lot of lapsed gamers in general too. People who have drifted away from things with disillusionment, getting a second wind. They've really noted how to bring people back into things and not just push out a new generation of the same thing.
You will unlock the park as you advanve in your journey. Then you'll maybe need to catch them ? Meaning that Zapdos with only regular Pokeball wont do it ?
I am getting my Pokémon game this year. Looks fun to me and to plenty of others.
Reviewers will probably give it credit for simplifying the capture and leveling mechanics, the latter with iv's/ev's are too complicated for most people. Battles with trainers are the same as always.
I could see a lot of reviewers giving it a pass under a belief that it's meant for very young children and will be more forgiving due to that.
It definitely seems possible that they'll alternate traditional new releases with Let's Go remakes of past gens. Masuda is directing Let's Go btw.
I interpreted "in they vein of XY" as "New Region with new Pokémon".
This is no different from the usual "New game, remake" combo that comes almost every generation save for gen V and VII. It's just that, this time, the remake is coming first than the new game, but the generation is the same. GF always had two teams working on two games, but always from the same generation.
Suppose that Let's Go is a success. Do you want to risk to alienate the new people you just brought with the Let's Go design games with a more complex one in the following year?
I mean I have a Pikachu that knows Surf in Go so I can just transfer him over.
He has a party hat too.
So... if i'm understanding this right, there are no wild Pokemon and you can only obtain Pokemon through GO to use in Let's Go? If that's correct, then it's entirely useless to me as i can't really play GO :( Too bad, i was legit interested in a Yellow remake.
The following Pokemon look aces though. That better be in gen 8!

Had a good sleep after the announcement
Not liking ANYTHING about this title
- Pokemon Go mechanics instead of their bread and butter system for wild encounters is... baffling, to say the least.
I fail to see why is that a good idea, when that's not even the good "part" of the whole "GO" thing
- The art style is a huge let down after Sun and Moon's cellshaded look
- Another Gen 1 remake... ANOTHER! Boring.
This went below my lowest expectation for the first Pokemon RPG title on Switch

Well, they risk alienating the whole fanbase that have been around for the last 20 years, it's their call to decide which group of customers they value more, or if they can truly do something that will keep them both happy.
No, there are wild Pokemon it's just that instead of fighting them, you just throw balls at them until they get caught or run away. Think of the entire game as the safari zone.
That's cool and when the follow you they should also be shiny?
People will call then bombs if they have one single MC point less, and they will call sales Horrible if it sells 1 copy less than SM/XY did.
These people are not looking for a discussion, they just want to will the games into failure because they dont appeal to them.
Could be.
Doesn't make too much sense need to catch him two times. Perhaps the Park it's just visual. Something like the Oak Lab, where Ash send their pokés to "help" the professor. I think would be better.
You dont need GO.
You find wild Pokemon in the overworld and you can catch by throwing a Pokeball at them. You just dont fight them before.
... no, did you even watch the trailer? Go is entirely optional. You can catch pokemon in let's go, you just use go's catch mechanics in lets go.
I don't think they would even bother announcing that game like this if it were more of the same. This seems like a move to pacify traditional fans.
Also, your interpretation is one I disagree with. They would just specify "Gen 8" if it was only about Generations.
I do think it's possible that success of Let's Go could affect the series going forward, but not the 2019 game.
Looks a bit too simplified? Removing battling wild pokemon and it being just Gen 1 (I honestly thought it'd be a Kanto remixed with Gen 1-3) seems very limited. It probably won't have as much atmosphere and passive story as Red/Blue either. Difficult to get hyped, and I say that as a Go player.
The next 'main' game is going to have to be a huuuuuuuuge step up for GameFreak to not catch the shitfit they've honestly deserved since X/Y. If its this same uprezzed Sun/Moon level, that many years after Switch launch, they done fucked it.

Bomb its a little too much, just a hyperbole there. But if its a bad game and get bad reviews, it wont sell more than sun and moon, and it had the potential for that if they didnt simplified the game so much.
So, I have thought about it a little bit.
This game is basically Pokemon Go for lazy people, right?
I mean, it basically is Pokemon Go without running around and I'm scratching my head when I hear in social media that many people started to play Pokemon Go again now, because then I think, why should they buy the new one in the first place? Cause playing Go is a great choice, you even do something for your body with it and it gives you the exact same thing.

Been a fan since pokemon red on my gameboy and I'm going to buy the f$@# outta this, looks cool!
Go doesn't have proper battles or any sort of story. Not to mention exploring a fictional world is a lot different from exploring your town/city. it has stuff to offer that Go doesn't.
Pokémon Eevee is not searchable on Amazon US (can only be accessed via the ranking screen), so that's why it's behind Pikachu (I'M SURE OF THAT, EEVEE WOULDN'T LOSE AGAINST PIKACHU*)

They're just humans making video games man, this attitude stinks.
To be fair, you're probably getting a lot of the anger from people who aren't really aware of how to process this new game yet.
As I said, I, personally, wouldn't be as upset if the evolutions added later on, like Sylveon and Steelix and Leafeon and Tangrowth, were included in this from the get-go. As it stands, without those, it feels like a weird product designed for an audience that has long since abandoned this franchise, and not for the 20 million or so who typically buy these games.
