Topic: Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee!

@Xaldin The trailer also showed regular battles against trainers. It's still a mainline title, just one that uses Go mechanics for wild battles.

I'll say it again, looks pretty good. Not great, but good. Basically what I expected: a 3DS game upscale to HD with heavy GO integration. The idea of having local co-op in a Pokemon RPG is pretty amazing too

I got heavy Wii vibes from that trailer. Heck, even the graphics look like a Wii game, just rendered in HD.

Nice, i'm going to download it and play it tomorrow.

This isn’t at all what I wanted next from Pokemon. I’ll be spending my money/time elsewhere, most likely. I really don’t care for GO, so this really doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Does anyone in this thread even play Pokemon Go regularly? I missed out on the initial popularity boom since my current (soon to be former) phone platform isn't supported.

Yeah, it has heavy spin off vibes even if it has regular battles. I'll need to see more at e3. Watched this on my phone, I'm going to have to watch it again later.

I don't even play Go and I thought the graphics looks leaps better than the 3DS' version.

Not sure how people think it's worse than that one... (' - '

So I don't see anyone discussing the fact that there's local cooperative co-op? What's that about?

@MarcelRguez Actually, according to their twitter this is NOT a core experience.

So a thought. If you dont actually battle wild Pokemon...how do you level grind

@MarcelRguez Yes, but that's no reason why it looks "worse" than gen 7. THat's part of the graphics after all...

Personally I'm just liking it so yeah, I understand why people will hate on the go capture mechanic though

That local co-op is awesome, but would have been great for 8 year old me, who had lots of local friends that played Pokemon, not present me who doesn't.

Is one Joycon required?

Nevermind, been confirmed you DO NOT battle wild Pokemon. Its just Pokemon Go.

Just confirmed that the core RPG releasing in 2019 is the game they teased at last year's E3.

So yes, this is a filler game.

@MarcelRguez ?? Idk the whole look pretty much makes it mile better.

Like okay, grid sucks... but... I don't know, when everything else looks better, does that make the grid sucks?

Downloaded and playing Pokémon Quest. Really simplistic but for someone who's never played any game in the series I'm not disappointed at all. Seems like a good entry point tbh.

False. Re-read the tweet. All they said was that more core titles are coming next year. They never said these weren't.

Let's Go is basically a mainline title in every way except the wild battles use Go mechanics.

You should be fully prepared for next year's titles to do the same thing.

Does Breath of the Wild not force Gyro controls for certain Shrines? Sure, Nintendo has gotten way better versus the Wii days, but that doesn't mean that things are perfect.

I think it will be forced on you here, just like BoTW. Except in BoTW it was just limited to a few shrines, whereas here, it's like... all of the time.
