Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Then why not just say Giovanni and not the grunts? The grunts can't be taken seriously at all. One ghost in the poke tower doesn't all of the sudden make them like john wick style villains.
we were kids playing a kids game, now we are grown men and women judging a kids game O.o
Naw I'm good with criticism its just annoying when people are complaining for the sake of complaining.
Let's Go is for a broad audience and there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm excited to play this game, but the fact that a game that's supposed to be a bridge and energy to new players is changing so much in regards to catching Pokemon is worrying and seems short sighted. If a player gets into this game wouldn't seeing Gen 8 coming next year alienate them with how traditional it is compared to this.
Just having wild Pokemon battles plus the Pokemon Go catching would appease both crowds. Even sticking with the Orginal 151 seems weird, as any players who are still playing go would surely be at least somewhat family with Pokemon from Gen 2 and 3.
Yeah, Disney movies are pretty damn serious because the villain imply they will murder characters.
Pretty much every Pokémon game has implications like this and feels immature to pretend they're serious because of it. "Cyrus wanted to kill eveyone in the Universe", "Lysandre wanted to commit mass murder", etc. You can have all that and I doubt people would deny these games are kid friendly and goofy - and that's not a bad thing!
I played every mainline Pokémon game and never even touched Go. Seems easy to me to ignore a game I don't see the appeal and that has limited content in comparison to other entries.
Sun and Moon are more comparable in that sense as they're fully 3D.Sure.
You're right, it sure as hell doesn't. We had on PS2 J-RPG with a bigger scale.
I don't see how it matter though, because Let's Go is obviously not positioned as the next big Pokémon game. It feels kinda pointless to criticize it for this reason.
The criticism remains valid though.
Yeah, too bad the improvements aren't about the bigger part: The geometry and the world design.
"All the enhancements" as you want to call them is basically slightly better textures (even then, the 3DS Pokémon problem is that the textures aren't filtered) and despite that, the textures are fairly simple... if not blurry. As for the lighting and shadows, this is the only decent work done here. Who knew decent lighting could make wonders ?
Who is calling them John Wick villains? Gen 1 was the most grounded/dark game of them all. That's it. Some cherry picked goofy antics that should be in a Pokemon game don't change that.
I don't really think the game being for a broad audience absolves the game of any criticism either
I think its pretty funny that an RPG series already made for casuals needed an even more casual version. But whatever this will sell millions upon millions anyway
Yea, I would say Lusamine in SM overall had the most mature villain story. Gets corrupted and loses the plot of just being a good mom to her kids. And that doesn't have to do with wanting to detroy everything or be a "badass" mafia.
Are you going to criticize Super Mario 3D World for not being like Odyssey? Because that's what you're doing with this Pokémon title.
The evolution of this style that you're looking for is coming next year:
"Ghosts appeared in Pokemon Tower. I think they're the spirits of Pokemon that the Rockets killed."
"I saw Cubone's mother die trying to escape from Team Rocket!"
Yeah, ok. But it was just Giovanni or just implied, empty threats or whatever. Boot up a game and check for yourselves. lol, that dude dropped a lift key, tho!
So it should get a pass for being rushed just because it isn't a main game?
I surely hope it doesn't cost the price of 'a main game' then...
This entire thread makes me feel embarrassed to be part of the gaming community. When people speak of toxic attitudes, this thread is a prime example. Over a Pokemon game. Over a a game being made to complement the upcoming Gen 8 core game next year. To bridge a gap for newer players and kids. Sometimes I wonder if some people here actually enjoy playing video games, because it just seems to be nothing but misery. Not just this thread, but I think this is the one that finally broke the camel's back for me.
Not sharing your enthusiasm isn't "toxicity". It's called criticism. Yes, it's fair to criticize Gamefreak for delivering a Kanto remake/reboot which looks visually bad and retains the level design of a 1997 Gameboy RPG.
Some will churn of course just like they did decades ago but a portion will stay and some of them will convert to the core series.
And what's not fair? The core RPG is in development as we speak.
You don't know anything about this game to say it's rushed. Artistic and design choices don't make it rushed.
true. i see where the battling wild pokemon comes from, but later during the games i avoided grass and use super repel. i only did wild battles when its a pokemon i wanted. i think once the game is out ppl might be ok with it later. i mean thats one thing they are changing, the biggest and only concern for me would be how online plays out.
Isn't it going to be a hard jump going from 151 to almost 1000 though?
It sure is a convenient choice to keep it really simple in every ways.
Why do I only see you when you are complaining?
Wondering the same. This thread has made me see some gamers' horrible sides.
reminds me how dumb this game was when it comes to sectioning off stuff. you can see everything but there's two separate areas for some reason. they couldn't make it one whole areaAre you going to criticize Super Mario 3D World for not being like Odyssey? Because that's what you're doing with this Pokémon title.

Reminder to everyone once again that Pokemon is one of largest media franchises on the planet.
the bottom one has so much life......look at how long he stares into his pokemon soul.
It will still have a lot more content then many other $60 games. Nintendo sold DKTF for $60 and it sold well so of course they are going to continue doing things such as that. Should they be criticised for that? Maybe. I personally think it's a little expensive but I'm withholding my full judgement until we find out everything about the games and I'll just find a good deal to get it cheaper anyway.
I always picture this whenever people talk about how badass red is in gen 1, even though it's just fanboying of what it actually was.
Man mellow Jotaro Red is so much better then this.
Well that was a hardware limitation. Except the little gates with the grass in Hau'oli, I don't know what's up with those.
Geometry wise, PS2 games far eclipsed what was shown of LG in terms of geometry in towns.
A series where each mainline titles sold at least more than 8 million units. The game will break even (not counting marketing) just with the launch day in France.
I like how this conveniently ignores Lusamine and team aether.
I think the game looks great and am fully on-board with graphics quality. This is clearly designed as a gateway to grab some Go fans and bring them over to the main series, while giving the rest of us a competent, albeit simplified, Pokemon experience on Switch sooner rather than later.
Also, comparing the graphics of a Pokemon title that will have, at maximum, a three-year dev cycle to other Nintendo games with 4-6 years of development doesn't make any sense to me and is a surefire way to set yourselves up for disappointment, even for the 2019 games.

the story of how over time she became more and more obsessed with studying everything about ultra beasts, and started treating her kids worse and worse.Are you implying that that's more grounded? lmaooooo
ow the edge
I wouldn't call it that at all. there are plenty of games on the 3DS that did what Pokemon struggled to do. Game Freak were simply inexperienced in making games of this style.
Full stop. There is criticism, and then there is some of the nonsense in this thread. Nonsense that I can tell you right now that many who enjoy the hobby but are not members of this forum are already specifically pointing to this thread to point that out.
As for visually, I think it looks great. You don't, and that is perfectly fine. But there is, again, criticism and then a good deal of what is happening in this thread.
Thanks for the heads up although I think it might be cheaper at Base.

GameFreak is holding back this franchise time and time again. I wish Nintendo pushed through early on and gained a larger share in TPCi, perhaps then can we see some change. I think it's too late now.
can't wait to see how this game looks and plays in November then I can fairly judge it.

Edit: also i wonder how many times kids today have went to kanto, cuz this could be a new experience to them, but i guess pokemon only caters to 25-35 plus folks

"Toxicity" can't be used to deny people's criticism. Should I stay quiet when I feel underwhelmed by something I care? I legit don't see any appeal for this besides nostalgia, what it does better than other Pokémon games that have more content and more evolved design?
SM has an actual story, RBGY can't be more serious than it when it never even tried to have an actual story arc. And this isn't criticism, both games are kid-friendly, but this doesn't mean they're bad. The tone fits the world pretty well.
Nah, but you see, this isn't more mature because it isn't "realistic". Even though this is a series about catching elemental monsters and realism shouldn't matter.

And I explained why I think it doesnt. This isn't a matter of opinions but technical facts. What non-sense ? Saying it's visually not up to par with some PS2 titles ?
You know, there are people who are fans since the first title and now feel tired of the lack of evolution of the serie. In that case, we're talking about regressions. When I played the game on my gameboy when I was 6, it was fine when cities were about 3 houses and a Pokémon center. In 2018, it's more difficult to justify towns made of 3 to 5 houses shaped like a cube. It's not okay for road 3 to look like a line with a small Pokémon center next to a cavern entry. It's not okay for Mt. Moon to look like a tiny cavern.
