Very interesting theory, but am sure that's not how it went down based on reports

Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I wonder if kanto mega's are in i guess they are probs end game content.
Or would they debalance the game heavily?
Wonder if any z moves will be in aswell.

Wasn't there a z move in the trailer (my knowledge of the animations is not good)
Nugget bridge is like x3 times wider in battle. How is that a negligible difference and a subjective opinion?
Hmmmm, yeah I guess it shpuldn't be too hard to revert the map to a grid in SM's engine, but it still confuses me as to why go that far when its capable of something better. What confuses me is that it goes even further than the grid, the ocean texture is a lot more similar to gen 6s, and I am pretty sure that i saw in the trailer that the overworld uses pre rendered backgrounds akin to Gen 6 like with Mt Chimney in ORAS, instead of a 3D environment with a skybox like in SM.
Let's Go couldn't have possibly been planned for 3DS if, according to Masuda, production started after GO was released (H2 2016). Many features also couldn't have been used on a 3DS (like Bluetooth exchange).
Man, I'm still wondering if we're seeing the later gen evolutions some of them got.
So this seems to be the consensus among casual fans for this game. Top comment on the let's go video on facebook:
Yup. It's gonna be absolutely huge.
I'm going to be hopelessly optimistic, and assume that there is a .00001% chance, that now that Let's Go ______ could serve as a dedicated casual side series for (the absolute youngest of) kids who are more used to phone games, that the main series could walk back some of the direction they've gone in in the latest entries.
Oh, if it was after Go's release then ignore me. I thought it was just before Switchs release, not that we had an actual time frame between July 2916-March 2017 for when development started.
I would say they wanted to create an asthetic that called back to the original games and thought a more chibi like approach was better than the more realistic SM (on terms of textures). On the grid... I really dont get it but i guess theyr really wanted to shove nostalgia down people throads. The overworld thing, I dont know, it looks good to me, didnt really notice any prerendered background but i may not have paid too much attention.
In actual measurable units the battle arenas are undeniable larger.
I'm not talking about measurements, I'm talking about suspension of disbelief.
To my knowledge there were probably no Z-move animations in the trailer. Golem's explosion had enough flair to be mistaken for one though.

Pokemon Go didnt pan out??? Maybe you stopped playing the game but im pretty sure there are still people who play it. It's still one of the top game downloaded ever
I thought that was referencing Pokemon 2019, but I could be misremembering since I can't find the source at the moment.
That's not the optimism of a hopeless sap, that's common sense. If they don't branch the series going forward and Gen 9 takes Lets Go and Gen 8 and smack them together, then they are idiots. Having a casual branch and core branch, one for a simple story based adventure that lets you battle and trade friends while having the core flagship branch for exploration, mystery, adventures and ranked battles is the best outcome that could have come from this, and just dialing it back to one path is going to bothersome.
Its not that visible, but you get a glimpse of the SS Annes deck behind some of the giant letter towards the end, and it sure as hell didn't look like in game Kanto on the horizon.
Oh, in terms of suspension of disbelief, sure. If they dial the scale upwards in the overworld just a little more, then its going to be near flawless in Gen 8.
Tom Phillips fought me on it. I told him the next game was 3DS. He told me it was Switch. I had heard 3DS, he clearly hadn't.
I think it was a miscommunication. He heard of the project and that they had ported the engine to Switch for either Let's Go or testing for Gen 8 and he conflated it
Indifferent.
I'm more excited for Gen 8
I hope they don't cram too much cut scenes into these.
With the ability to maneuver your way around wild encounters these games could end up being great games to speedrun.

Any features for Go you want in Gen 8? (you know you want the coop).
The co-op aspect is definitely interesting, but the cost of it in terms of game balance is going to be questionable at best
I dont think you balance around the coop mechanic and just treat is as a hand holding / helping mechanism for new players.
The riding Pokemon based on their size and following Pokemon are probably the main things from Let's Go that I want in Gen 8 (based on what we know so far).
Thanks.I guess its an extension for people who love Go to get them even more into Pokemon. I'll wait for that "2019 Pokemon RPG".
Eevee Z Move summons all the Eeveelutions, so since this seems to be hard Gen 1 (For heaven knows why), probably not.
Yikes major Dutch retailer Bol.com has priced the Poké Ball Plus at 54,99 euros.

There are changes on leveling, stats, and probably on combat too. There are probably no held items.
Maybe, maybe one day we will have buildings that do not face south.
Shitting hell, well that'll cost me a pretty penny for the boys. (edit: seems to have a fair amount to it as a device goes, but 3 hours battery life is really tight)
Side point. I played the video to my 4yo who gave it the "again, again" verdict. Both my lads want Pikachu.
That seems delusional, that's not what the game is at allSo this seems to be the consensus among casual fans for this game. Top comment on the let's go video on facebook:
It's less delusional than "it's just Pokemon Go on the Switch lul". I believe they are talking about the Pokeball controller thing and how you can take a Pokemon with you etc.
I still don't know if I want to play this game or not. On the negative side it's everything I don't care about: less complex mechanics, no competitive scene, Kanto is boring as fuck, 151 Pokémons are a lot less than I'd want. On the positive there's my hope of it being somewhat decent.
Surely I'm hyped for gen 8 next year. This is not for me.

Wait until they see that a Switch runs for 330€, the game for 60€ and the controller is another 50€ more for a plastic ball with a stick and a button. It's literally the hardest sale ever for people that have been gaming on mobile phones for the last years
For all of my reservations about some of the decisions on the game so far, I will give it credit for one thing.
I'm more curious about it than Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, at the very least. This game has a Doc Brown spider monster moment or two. Whether I'll like those moments, I'm not sure yet. But there wasn't much in the US/UM marketing that grabbed my attention.

Some people blow 600$ every year on a phone, I'm not sure they'll see this as an issue.
I know people that have spent that much on Pokemon Go if not more...
Mobile phones are a necessity nowadays, and more often than not the higher priced ones are subsidised.
bol.com being more expensive than literally everyone else is the rule. You can probably get it for the actual price of €50 at other retailers.
"This number is BIGGER than any 3DS Pokemon game" is not completely true. Sun Moon shipped the same amount, but those two should have the biggest day one shipment number for any Pokémon game.So, Nintendo shares are up again
Yesterday:
Today:
Also, it was reported that Nintendo plans to ship 600,000 copies of LGP+LGE in France alone on day 1. This number is BIGGER than any 3DS Pokemon game and BIGGER than any Switch game. Super Mario Odyssey shipped 350,000 in France day 1.
https://twitter.com/nintendalerts/status/1001813389994323968
So.. with this expectations in France alone... Looks like LGP/LGE first shipment WW will be biggest in Pokemon history. Pokemon Sun/Moon shipped 10 million day 1 on the 3DS.
Crazy!
