Not sure how I feel about Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee yet. I liked some of what I saw in the trailer, but I do have some misgivings. Mainly with the catching mechanics. Hopefully the motion control is optional.
Nintendo and optional motion control have never gone together, unfortunately.

looks at Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Splatoon oh
Also, I'm mixed on this. Like the last time they remade Red and Blue, it had objectively better graphics because it was sprites (half-serious), and objectively worse music since it was on GBA. It doesn't look any worse than what it could've been though tbh. Or at the very least, any issues I can see are made up by some of the cool additions they seem to be adding and for being less of a "3DS game on Switch" look.
Like I haven't cared about Pokemon much in ages, so I'm not the person to ask but in terms of being nostalgia bait because rushing gen 8 for HD would be a terrible idea, this seems to be working.
@IceClimbers To me this looks much more like a spin-off than a real mainline game. Especially if you look in the trailer when they're catching the Psyduck there doesn't seem to be an option to battle and it displays the Pokemon's CP. This just feels like an extension of Pokemon GO to me, which makes sense considering it's called Let's Go!
@Harmonie They've been better with that as BotW, Odyssey, Splatoon, ARMS, and even the upcoming Mario Tennis let you disable motion controls. I think motion controls are the least of this game's worries.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
Graphically is above what I expected, but artstyle-wise it looks absolutely lifeless and washed out. Have to agree with @Harmonie, I think it looks very cheap.
@Tyranexx Can't disagree, I don't see it as a good thing either. At least it won't be long until we get another, more core-oriented title. Presumably.
@YummyHappyPills Now that you mention it, the combat system only shows up in a double-battle against another trainer. That's probably the case then. But hey, no random encounters, at least.
...Yeah, I'm gonna need more information before signing up for these. That said, I'll likely side with Eevee. I like Pikachu, but it's getting to the point where I need a break from that mouse.
Currently playing: Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations (Switch/AAT)
