What are you doing with the other hand?!
I truly hope the 2019 titles aren't just uprezzed 3DS games in that sense. I can see why they went with that here since this is supposed to be "babbys first console pokemon game" for a lot of people.
You still catch Pokemon in the game, you just don't fight them first. You can also transfer Pokemon from Go however that's completely optional.It's speculation or for real?
I want to play and chill at home, i'm 34... do they expect me to go with a suit around the city to try and catch pokemon?
Just, ugh....
If it's confirmed, hard pass...

Also, forgot to add.
Even if we consider 2018 as a "gap year" for VGC, like it was in 2015 with no new game between ORAS and SuMo, the situations are completely different.
What I mean is that ORAS added way more competitive Pokemon than USUM did, with the introduction of new Megas. No we will have to play for 3 years with basically the same games (USUM added only 3 Pokemon for VGC). All of that without talking about the fact that we still were on the same console after ORAS, whereas VGC 2019 will be played on 3DS more than two and a half years after the Switch release...

Pokemon are found in the routes like normal, its just that they're in the overworld now instead of patches of grass. You also can only catch them like Pokemon Go, ie find one and throw a ball at it, you can't battle themIt's speculation or for real?

WHat he means is that you don't weaken the Pokemon, you just throw the ball like in GoIt's speculation or for real?

There is the possibility that due to the game being designed with one Joycon in mind this game had to be designed with a flatter world in mind. Plus they've constantly explored having a more dynamic camera like in Gen 5 with Castelia City and the bridges and Gen 6 with Lumiose City. The Switch could provide them a way to be more 3 dimensional with world design this time around.I'll come around on it but I can't help feel underwhelmed too.
At the very least I thought they'd have made the region more three dimensional, like wider areas, rolling fields etc, but it's just flat and angular like the older games.
And I guess next year's game will also look a whole lot like this which is also disappointing.
Unfortunately the one aspect the controls we have heard indicates the motion controls are mandatory and despite it being the main control option in Pokemon Go you can't use the touchscreen in hand held mode. There's a chance it might be a mistranslation like with the online debacle but no one has deconfirmed forced Motion controls.

If this is just a quick stopgap so they can really impress us with the next game then I won't mind.
At the moment this feels like getting A Link Between Worlds when I was hoping for something like Breath of the Wild in terms of world design.
I'm surprised how low some expectations are around here. I guess people just want more of the same...
This is essentially a remake of Yellow, how is it anything but more of the same? lolI'm surprised how low some expectations are around here. I guess people just want more of the same...

Damn. Thanks for the response, even if it wasn't the one I was hoping for. If you don't mind, can you link to a source on this? I speak Japanese so if it was in the presentation proper or a Japanese blog/site I can confirm.
If this is confirmed soon, we'll need to start looking into Joy-Con mods.
No, but they might simplify stats into atk/DEF/STA like pokemon go.Yeah, haven't you heard? All trainers will have level 20 Pokémon max and will only use defensive moves lmao
Mythicals are generally not allowed, aren't they? Even during VGC 2016 when Rayquaza and the Primal were in.

I'm down on these games too, but saying they lack ambition is unfair. Just look at how much care they took with the way Pokemon follow you and how you ride the larger ones.

Where were you 2 months ago. We all knew what we were getting from the rumors and the leaked screenshots.

We're getting a traditional core Pokemon RPG in 2019.If this isn't the "real" Switch Pokemon, then great, whatever. If this is the "real" next step in the series, then I'm dumbstruck.
You find an NPC following you around ambitious?
Is that real ? xD It'll be at least 80 for sure.I love the smell of a good meltdown in the morning. People predicting a 50 metacritic lmfao. Looks good to me, I'm in.
Alright so y'all have some decisions to make.
Pikachu:
Fat yellow mouse-esque creature
Evolves into an asshole
Only speaks American
Doesn't even like coffee
Eevee:
A fluffy legend
Can evolve into anything
Is Trilingual
Invented caffeine
There's only one choice.
This is developed by a different team and I don't see them even having much in common with the 2019 titles.
The official site states this:Damn. Thanks for the response, even if it wasn't the one I was hoping for. If you don't mind, can you link to a source on this? I speak Japanese so if it was in the presentation proper or a Japanese blog/site I can confirm.

https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-and-pokemon-lets-go-eevee/The practice of catching Pokémon has been changed dramatically from previous titles. Now you can use your Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con to toss a Poké Ball at your target with one hand, either by pressing a button or flicking your wrist. With fewer buttons and intuitive action, it's never been simpler.
Thanks! I'm going to be cautious with this one, I hope they'll do a Treehouse segment like with S/M this E3. I need to know more.Online actually is in. The wild pokémon battles are still a mystery, though (as in, we don't know how they will manage without).

His post was a little bit inaccurate.
In handheld mode, you'll juste need to aim with the gyro and then press a button to throw the ball.
I mean, we sort of have to put up with your lazy dev narrative that's almost as old as Pokémon itself. So let's let the market decide.
I'm not even interested in this year's games, will be anticipating 2019 instead. But come the f*ck on, let people like what they like and spare us this horrible elitist crap. You won't buy these games, got it.
It seems clear to me though.
There's no way VGC is played on Let's Go. Even discounting the limited amount of Pokemon to choose from, I just can't see TPC forcing people to make competitive teams in a game without breeding. Bye-bye egg moves, and IV breeding.I'm they dont simplify the battle system, I'm sure VGC will be played with lets go. So they can get people into watching the torunament with the pokemon that they know.
But, it will probably be a really boring tournament with no variety (hell if it wasnt for alola forms you would have no dark types and only one ghost type and dragon type).
I'm down on these games too, but saying they lack ambition is unfair. Just look at how much care they took with the way Pokemon follow you and how you ride the larger ones.
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to say!Oh I dont speak for just myself, I saw several posts like "OMFG Pokemon following you is back" and I just sigh. But to each their own.
Apparently I was mistaken. The motion controls only extend to gyro controls in handheld mode to aim but you can press a button to throw the ball.Damn.
