Dead Weight Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I need to see more of this. With the adoption of pokemon go encounters, it will probably change how experience points are gained. I feel like these games are more catered to pokemon go players who haven't played a core pokemon for a while/ever. Just from the trailer on first look, the mechanics seem to be a lot watered down compared to Ultra Sun/ Ultra Moon. Conversely, it does have the fun pokemon aesthetic that we know and love.

Don't know where they get the Alola thing from because every official source says only Kanto. Do you have a link? 58 minutes ago, SnowxSakura said: as for no wild encounters, this game just feels like a glorified home console version of Pokemon Go, so it will be a hard pass for me It still has trainer battles, gyms and a story, it seems. Don't get me wrong, I'm more curious about the 2019 game too. But I think Let's Go will be a nice (even-more-)casual game to play alongside my platformers. I would've been pissed though if they hadn't announced the "core RPG" 2019 game. It's good that they cleared up it isn't just Let's Go that we're getting.

Does the game just give a ton of rare candies or something? By battling trainers?... I used repels all the time when I played Pokémon and only battled other trainers to level up, and I still managed to beat the Elite 4, so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you, but some people like to grind to max levels, and without any word of the versus seeker returning, it's a mystery. 19 minutes ago, Cthulhu said: You're right about the one new Pokémon, which wasn't enough for me to count against exclusively first gen, doubly so since it seems to be a Pokémon you unlock in Go by playing Let's Go.

Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! will have 151Pokémon but will also include Alola Pokémon. http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/30/the-pokmon-company-shares-more-on-lets-go-features-and-switch-in-qa-session/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One suggestion I've seen is that it could be that all trainers in the game could be rebattled after a while. We'll see, I guess. 8 minutes ago, SnowxSakura said: Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! will have 151Pokémon but will also include Alola Pokémon. http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/30/the-pokmon-company-shares-more-on-lets-go-features-and-switch-in-qa-session/ Huh. That's a weird way to say it, almost like the Alola Pokémon are part of the 151. I think something went wrong in the translation there, probably means 151 Kanto Pokémon plus a few Alola. Pretty weird, I wonder then why they specifically say that only Kanto Pokémon from Go can be transferred to Let's Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it might just be a mistranslation and they were probably talking about the Alola forms of the original 151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntroPhenom Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I've spent hundreds of hours of my life playing Pokemon games, and consider X & Y the pinnacle of the core games. I EV and IV trained, I bred for egg moves, I hunted for shiny Pokemon, I had an active friend safari, and I transferred all of my other mons into that thing...can't think of what's it's called now. The bank! That's it. However, Sun and Moon turned me off, and I didn't bother playing anything past completing Sun once, despite buying both at launch day (as I always have). Was bored with the story, the art style, Z moves, and Alolan versions of existing Pokemon. Too much that was great was removed from X & Y when making Sun and Moon. ANYWAY (pardon the rant), having a real Pokemon RPG on the Switch may just restart my love for it all. Especially (are you listening, Nintendo??) if more mega evolutions are introduced, which are one of the greatest things Pokemon has ever done.

MeteorHawk Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nifty little spinoff games, perhaps a great sampler for the real games next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
