Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Switch) announced; coming Nov 16th 2018

- Start date
Don't forget that this dark and serious criminal orginization was stopped, not by the police that have been hunting them, but because a ten year old beat their leader at a
Oh no
I've been told for weeks and weeks by die-hard fans of the series that these games are primarily made for kids. Just because there's depth if you look for it doesn't mean they're at all hardcore RPG's cause they're not
What even IS a hardcore RPG? Darksouls aside, a tiny bit of grinding conquers all. It was virtually the only genre I played as a kid.
Actually, it is okay. To you, maybe not. Fine. Pretty much everything you said is subjective regarding the style they go with the games. Whether you think something looks great or not is a matter of opinion. Now anything technical underneath regarding the engine, yes, those are facts. However, how it looks on screen, is a matter of opinions.
Again. You saying it's not okay with the tired "It's current year" argument does not make it so.
Not only does it look dated AF, but gamefreak even had the nerve to reuse animations from the 3DS games.
How shouldn't that be criticized?
No, like actually it's super insanely successful. Not just in video game, but in everything. Billions upon billions upon billions in revenue. "Ad populum" my ass, that's not even related.
having a larger share in TPC probably wouldn't do much as GF's responsibility is still the mainline games. though I guess TPC could commission a new RPG line from another developer. but with GF having a large stake, that might come to blows
I don't understand why people say Let's Go are for newcomer kids, every new generation has brought new fans, usually little kids because the games are simple and appealing, this is why Pokémon has been popular for so long. Stuff like wild battles never stopped kids who started with gen 3,4 or 5.
Oh, don't misunderstand me. It's not even about current year but about current decade. The Last Remnant released on November 2008 on Xbox 360. 10 years later, this is what Game Freak is going to deliver for an RPG.
On top of that, it's a game which also recycles the level design and models of Pokémon Go... to features only gen 1 + alolans forms... and well, ONE new Pokémon.
It's more for people in general that played go as their first pokemon game, or first since gen 1.
Who knows what the 2019 title will be like though :)
And there might be a sequel to Let's Go or paid expansions adding new gens.
Hmm, no breeding? Well there go some good moves...
So will fishing be taken out of the game?
I'm okay with this game. Not sure how the teleport and spin panels would work in multiplayer....

This might blow your mind but people can buy a game while still having plenty to criticize about it
For the nth time in this thread, not only "gotta catch'em all" stopped being the motto of the series after Gold/Silver, all new entries in the franchise have a curated ecosystem of all the new Pokémon (~100, sometimes more, sometimes less) + other Pokémon from other regions that fit in to make a regional dex of ~150-200 more or less, with "third versions" and remakes sometimes being an exception and being a little more expansive. Knowing all 800+ has never been the focus of any of the titles so it's got me like... people don't even play the games?
The "there are too many pokémon" criticism, or excuse to force reverting to the fabled "original 151" (which makes no sense since babies and more evos are a thing), keeps on coming back time and time and time and time again almost every single page and all it tells me is that we're literally discussing our concerns about this title with people that don't even have the slightest clue of how has the franchise worked since 15 years ago and are literally just waiting for their nostalgia to be catered before jumping back instead of getting a secondhand copy of one of the older titles and see for themselves what's it like nowadays and have an informed opinion.

IDK what you mean by recycling level design from PokeGo, but uh... By models and animations, are you referring to the Pokemon themselves?! It'd be straight up bonkers if Game Freak and Creatures had to redo the models and animations for those from scratch every game.
Honestly the whole idea of this bridging in new or lapsed fans seems like a bit of headscratcher. To the outside looking in, this game looks near identical to previous entries, and takes several explanations to tell what is different. If the intent was to gather new people to the franchise, they seem to be missing the mark as to what is popular with kids and adults right now.
with what im hearing in this thread i dont see how they would waste their morning. a lot you all are getting criticism and hate mix up
Because they literally said it's meant to be more accessible, the simplification of some mechanics, as well as allowing jump in co-op seemingly at any time (including during wild pokemon battles and trainer battles, which is crazy). And the art style also just looks like it's targeting a younger audience. They made the main characters even younger than usual
They saw that pokemon go was really popular with kids and adults. So they made a game mostly based on that.
It's not. It's for old lapsed fans (a big part of the Go people), not kids. I don't even know why people push this kid thing.
Kids don't care about 1:1 representations of old Gameboy games and if we asked them "Do you want a game with only 151 Pokémon or do you want a game with 1000 Pokémon, including the ones you see in the cartoon today" they would pick the later option.
This. lol. Do some people still no get how massibly popular Pokemon Go was, is and still is? They should see the hundreds that come out each month for Community day.
Though the designs are okay, I don't get this. Aren't the majority of players older? Its getting to a point where they just need to make the player just 100% fully customizable. I see they've finally figured out facial expressions for cut scenes, so at least they are making progress.
Yea, there's going to be sad kids that can't their favorite pokemon, like manetric.
Pokémon Go is still massive. This doesn't mean every PoGo player will buy a 300$ system to play a 60$ game because they play a F2P app.
Mobile games going console and becoming huge hits there too isn't even a thing.
This game is perfect for what it is: A 3DS remaster, built with little recourse, aimed squarely at Go fans. It's clear, now, GF has all hands on deck for Gen 8, and has since at least Sun and Moon released. I'm more than fine with what's going on now. If it means I get an ambitious Pokemon game, like what GF has been hinting at, bring me these games! It will be a fun diversion until I get the real meat in 2019.
Hasn't GF been hiring Unreal 4 developers, btw? I doubted they would use Unreal for Gen 8, but now I'm not so sure...

Some might. A lot of my community are avig gamers, some who already have Switches.
I mean, I'm not expecting 500 million sales or anything. But I do expect this game to be huge.
This is the weirdest franchise, they keep giving us customisation and then take it away the next game. There isn't even any excuse for it this time because this isn't a remake with Red and Blue.
This what I was saying. That battle is usually anticlimatic for me because I used a masterball but what about the legendary birds and possibly mew?
I'm sorry, I believe the phrase you were looking for was "What defines a hardcore RPG?"
Whether you think it's a successful strategy or not, it is still the strategy Nintendo themselves have talked about and laid out so we will see if it's the correct strategy or not when we get Let's Go, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing.
I have a feeling legendaries are going to be battles, sort of like bosses for the game.
I personally think the art style is great. Looked better than I expected. Will be fun to see how gen 8 chooses to go.
They consistently add new features and take them away the next game. This isn't really new but its annoying af. Though, we don't know if Customization is in or not yet. I hope it is.
I meant the models from PokéGo. For the level design, it's basically Pokémon Yellow. 1:1. My point basically is that a lot of the work was already done.
Lol, they showed a Moltres being transferred from Pokemon Go to the game in the trailer. I think there's a chance you'll be disappointed
If they play Pokemon Go and already own a Switch, it's incredibly likely they would have bought a Pokemon RPG regardless.
So... I'm guessing Go Park will be locked off until pretty late-game, right? Otherwise I can just transfer in my Dragonite from Go and wreck house from the jump. With how easy the games seem to be though, it doesn't seem like that would even be necessary anyway.
That doesn't prove anything considering you still have to battle them on GO.
How is that any different to either wondertrade or someone just trading you it from another game?
Unless the Dragonite starts from level 1 when you trade it, it most likely won't listen to you. Just like with trades from other games. And that also depends if you can use Pokemon from Go in the main game and not just Pokepark.
They said half-way in the game, and judging by "Go Park." I think it'll replace Pal Park in Fuschia City from HGSS and by extension, the Kanto Safari Zone.
If its a remake they will have the locations the same and I'll be damned if they aren't in the locations they are supposed to be in
