Pokemon Co. says "There is no way we will stray from basic elements" with Pokemon Let's Go

Well you're certainly embodying that side of the internet when you go right to questioning someones age.
There was a screen shot showing that you can"t fight brock unless you have grass pokemon. So, yeah, massively watered down.
They doubled down on the hand holdy bullshit from Sun/Moon.
I think its because (aside from pokemon following you) these are changes nobody asked for. Pokemon is already one of the easiest and most begginer friendly series in gaming, this just takes it one step too far and aliented part of the fanbase.
Core game coming next year though, so it isnt a lot to worry about.
I trust you.
I don't understand people complaining when we already know a game for hardcore pokémon players will release in 2019 ?
Pokémon Let's Go is everything I've been waiting for like 10 years now. I'm tired of all those wild battles, I'm not anymore a Dragon Quest fan and I'm super excited for the Final Fantasy future as an action RPG. Classic JRPG are not for me anymore, so Let's Go is for me, and Game Freaks got y'all covered with gen 8 next gen. Please, stop the hate about this game. Let's just pretend it's a spin off if you want, that's not gen 8, that's Let's Go. That's it.

There's already so much info about this game that I know two things for certain 1) I don't trust them 2) it'll make a lot of revenue.
What stands out to me the most about this is that they're at least somewhat self-aware. This "please trust us" nonsense implies that THEY KNOW that they're making a lot of choices that are frustrating their hardcore fanbase, but instead doing anything to correct this or giving players choices as to how they go about playing this game, they just don't give a fuck and doubled down on watering the games down as much as possible because they're desperate for that PoGo money.
It really does not bode well at all for the 2019 game.

I'm not questioning your age, I'm questioning your mindset. In a world of GamerGate, THIS is the most embarrassing thing you've ever seen from gamers? Is this a joke?
These games are totally gonna blend it's way in some form to gen 8 isn't it. Knowing game Freak it won't be the good stuff
They should have at least gave us something for our troubles. Initially they wanted to survey children and preteens and asked if I had one lol
User Banned (2 Days): Doubling down after receiving a warning
Yup. I've been warned for calling this a lazy remake, which I stand by what I said. Calling a remake "lazy" doesn't mean devs are lazy. Just that the direction of the title is uninspired. They kept the same freaking level design and scale of a Gameboy game. They heavily reused Pokémon Go Assets. Sorry, it's a lazy remake.
Well, they probably want to avoid ill-prepares players from going head first to Brock just to be completely owned. You can still choose not to use double kick or use your grass/water Pokémon. I'm personally cool with changes like that.
I'm curious on what they will do with the more end-game stuff. What changes are they going to do to help the starter Pokémon stay useful throughout the game and the Metagame? What are they going to do with Pokémon with evolvutions outside of 151? GF has a lot to think about.
Such a shame they have to say this just because some people can't understand this is a little something for a different demographic, the 2019 game will still be what the mainline series has always been. I remember there was this poster who had a heavy and laughable persecution complex when Let's Go was first announced, fearing that's what the main titles will be like from now on. I wonder how they're feeling now after everything we've been told regarding the 2019 title, there was no reason at all to be worried.
So, when they see that the dumbing down and extra handholding is still not bringing the kids (that are busy playing complex open world games like Minecraft, or mechanically complicated stuff like Fortnite) into the series, what would be the next step due to misreading once again their potential audience? Gifting the player a Pokémon that can 0HKO everything inside a gym? On rails exploration? A game that plays itself with a literal "press A to win" so now little kids that can't even read can beat it too without help?
Isn't this game supposed to be a stepping stone for people, who played Pokemon Go? It even has "Go" in the name. While at the same time they already promise a normal sequel for 2019?
I am confused, why people are angry about this game, which clearly is targeted at a non-hardcore target group.

You keep cleverly ignoring every instance where they specify that this is also for a new, younger audience, that enjoyed Pokemon Go, though?
This game is the bedrock for the next versions and I trust then because they kept a change from Sun and Moon and added a change I've wanted for a while.
- No HMs
- No random encounters
I never had to interact with those people so it wasn't something being compared. The forums basically devolved into schoolyard level for a few days, and theres still remnants of it every time these games are mentioned as though they somehow took away their Pokemon games. It was bad enough that I had an anxiety attack and requested my account closed but the mods were pretty level headed.
Everything that they've shown tells me not to trust them.
Mew hidden behind a $50 hunk of plastic.
Ugly as hell character designs.
Forced to use shitty gyro/waggle to catch Pokemon.
Turning one of the few good rivals on the series into a lame "friend".
Making an even more simplified game when the series is already insanely simple if you aren't some hardcore competive player. So simple my niece got halfway through moon and quit because it was too easy when she was only 8 years old. Kids aren't that dumb, they are playing a fuck ton of fortnite and Minecraft which are way more complicated than the last few Pokemon games, this dumbing down just seems targeted at middle aged Pokemon go players who haven't played a non phone game in 15 years I guess?
For people who are excited good for you, I hope you enjoy it. I just expect let's go and the 2019 to be shit since x/y and sun/moon were the worst flagship games in the history of the series. Sad as hell to follow up the brilliant white/black and white/black2 games with this slop.
I'm probably just going to be playing shitty fan games for my Pokemon fix going forward and that's sad.

I'm not so sure about that.
We'll see exactly how right they were about it when we see the performance of the game. But from the beginning, it sounds like siren calls to me.
But I thought the game was supposed to be for babies!
It would have been much better if they had remake a game instead of this Pokémon go looking bs.
That's likely just the first tutorial gym and they take the training wheels off after that
I think this is a misconception, at least from my perspective. Nobody (or almost nobody) cares about having to attempt to bring in Go players into the mainline games. People are disappointed by the method. Rather than bring inclusive, Game Freak is being outright exclusionary towards long time fans, a first for them. Why should people be okay with that? "Its not for me" is bullshit, since they want you to buy it, too.
You act like the 2019 game is guarenteed to be free of the bullshit that ruined this one, when there's zero proof of that.
If anything, next year's game will be even more likely to be loaded with shitty tutorials and handholding, because they'll want to cater to the people who apparently needed it in Let's Go.
you can make the inference from the way it was marketed. It could be even more changed or simplistic and they still wont call it a spinoff for obvious reasons.
You can make that choice for yourself as someone with disposable income. The problem is how people seem to want to tell everyone else to not support it because it will somehow poison the untainted mainline games.
Getting your ass handed on the first gym and consequently getting a good grasp of what did "super effective" and "not very effective" meant WAS the tutorial itself. Then it was up to player to decide if they wanted to power level, go back to Viridian Forest to see if they could find something useful (Buterfree for example) or explore a little further back and get a Mankey or Nidoran on the route west of Viridian City. Good game design encourages you to find a good solution to a roadblock, not literally telling you what to do for 100% frustration-free success
Well I think Game Freak themselves saying it's more for the hardcore audience is proof but yeah ok.
Yeah, they're saying please trust us to the hardcore fans because they want us to buy the game too, so saying that they're just trying to go for a new demo really isn't super valid anymore.

No they announced a Pokemon RPG but not the true sequel. Not yet.
I am so damn pissed, Nintendo. All of this Gen 1 pandering is getting on my nerves and you expect us to just trust you???
Every single Mario game, every single fucking Mario game, I have to see Goombas, Bullet Bills, Koopas, Bowser, Lakitu, and Boos! UGHHHHHH. Where is the creativity? Why must every game pander to fans of Mario 1????
I'm done, Nintendo. Cancel this game or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Drastic change.
Accepted or players have really no choice?
But you did.
But Pokemon Go abandoned the basics.
Hmmmmmm
Yea we were all kids getting trashed by Brock the hard way. That was the point of Brock I thought. He was the tutorial. I liked to think kids have gotten smarter as time went by. I know the ones I've met have
We don't know that. Regardless, it's still some super hand holdy and watered down shit compared to the original.
And this.
This! I've been saying this for weeks. Especially since whenever someone points out that there is only 151, I say that isn't true since there is a brand new Pokémon in this game. They've already set the standard, so why not finish evolution chains to give players more options and they add more of the newer types like steel that were under-represented, which is also why they are adding Alolan types because of the dark, ice, steel, and fairy additions. Also the extra dragon in Alolan Exeggcutor.
Me too. Already talked with shinobi about some related warning like 'low effort post', but I keep seeing some reseller/verafied posting much worse. This pokemon game have the most lack of feactures I ever see in my life.
Well tough. Since they won't call it a spinoff, it's going to be judged as a mainline game.
