Topic: Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee!

@KaiserGX Highly possible. Though the visuals could end up being disappointing if it is real, but honestly they don't need to be realistic. So... yeah. I do hope they introduce "new" pokemon to kanto if this is all true. I say "new" because I doubt they would make new ones for a reboot. Just have new to the region from the start and not make some migration like in the gen 3 remakes.

@KaiserGX Gosh I hope that, at the very least, that image was fake. If I have to play through Kanto again, it better not be more of this 2.5D nonsense with landscapes that are still designed like they are 2D.

I know, either way, it will make lots of money... But if they're going to reimagine Kanto with modern graphics and mechanics, go all out with it. It is the very least they can do. The graphics in that image wouldn't cut it at all.

edit: forget what i said earlier. there was a different info posted on april fools, no logo. ^-^

I know I'm gonna buy the game anyway, but unlike other games I'd closely follow like Metroid Prime 4, I'm gonna just stay away from the rumor mill and just see what Nintendo announces and what I can definitely see.

All I want is a well-made game that tries some new things that would actually stick for future generations to come. If it means needing another shakeup, so be it.

@Tsurii Well Ruby and Sapphire didn't have 4 versions of the game.

It could be like with the gen 2 remakes of HeartGold and SoulSilver where there was the Pokewalker accessory you could use as an alternative way to catch some pokemon when out and about. Just using Pokemon Go instead.

@Octane Tingle confirmed as the Pokemon Switch champion!

Idk why I read that as if your avatar was saying it. Like she was yelling it or something lol.

Yup that's vidyo I was talking about.

@Aozz101x What do you mean?

Do you think all these leaks instead of being related to the next mainline Pokemon game is instead for a Pokemon Snap game on Switch?

@DuskformLycanroc No, if it was a spin-off game, someone would've mentioned it.

Mistake on my part. i thought he drew the logo, rewatched again and i didnt see it. sorry about that.

I've seen quite a lot of people with known inside sources double down on this. Even Joe over at Serebii posted about it on his main site (and he normally doesn't post rumours).

Looks like we're going back to Kanto.

I'm going to reserve judgement until the official reveal next week, but I'm a bit unsure about the Pokemon GO integration stuff. I don't really care about that, and it seems like they want to cater to the Pokemon GO crowd with this game. We shall see.

@Octane I dont get wanting to cater to the Pokemon Go crowd when that existed to hype up Sun and Moon (And judging by sales it didn't need dumbing down either, it WORKED!) so this feels pointless.

@Octane If you don't mind, where do you see they will do an official announcement for this? I haven't even seen there will be one in any of the leak places... or did I just overlook it?

Just FYI. There's a mock-up of the logo of Let's Go! Eevee going around, but that's made by a guy on some Spanish forum, but some are trying to pass it off as a ''leak''.

This is the rest of the rumour by the way: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DdKWTuoWkAAcueX.jpg

@YummyHappyPills It seems like that on a surface level, but maybe it's not as bad as it seems.

@NapalmPsalm It's ''soon'', but Emily Rogers said it wasn't this week. I figure it's a pre-E3 reveal. Late May seems more logical than a week before E3. But that's just my own speculation. Either way, it should be soon, if not before E3, it's at E3.

I can see the logic behind it if it's true that the Switch demographic is comprised of people in the 20-30 age bracket. I was 5 when the Red and Blue were released in my country and most people my age have a lot of nostalgia for those games and some quick money to burn. I'm talking about the kind of people who don't really play games as a hobby yet you still see referencing the games (and the anime) from time to time.

The kids will want the games anyway, the young adults are the ones that are harder to persuade, so going into full gen 1 mode again makes sense business-wise.
