Topic: Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee!

@Yosheel @BrainOfGrimlock Another rule that would be fun and make the game more challenging — do an “Ash Ketchum Run” with only the Pokémon Ash used in the Indigo League in the anime. Make sure to use a Pikachu caught in Viridian Forest instead of the starter one.

My Eevee is finally here

@shadow-wolf have fun catching 50 tauros.

Hi everyone,

Do you guys keep catching duplicates of the same Pokémon or just one of each (what would be the point to catching 50 Pigeys) is it better to build up the strength of the main one instead of having so many?

Also do you evolve them or not? What would be the point to not?

Thanks in advance for replying

Ugh, only just realised of course that my favourite gen 1 mons need to be traded to evolve - had two systems so was never really an issue on the 3ds versions!

I was going to avoid using Alakazam & Gengar for a change but it bugs me I can’t easily get them regardless - I’ll have to do that weird social thing and stuff if I want them, guess i’ll have to pay the toll too?

Is bank a thing/going to be a thing for switch? Anyone know if it will evolve the annoying xfer mons if so?

Of all the limitations, the ‘one move’ per team one can be the most challenging, especially in gen 1 - there aren’t a whole load of (good) ice moves and Lance becomes immediately more challenging if you wield only one ‘ice beamer’!

@ReaderRagfish It'd be funny if the person you were battling had exactly the same idea.

@boyd88 I know a few of us are going to be going after the Master Trainers, which requires a one-on-one fight with every single Pokémon at a high level.
With that in mind, I catch multiples of one so that I can use Judge to weed out low potential mons. At some point I’ll need a lvl 70 (?) pidgey or metapod to fight their master trainer, so I want one with “Amazing” stats

Looking for someone that has a scyther they are willing to trade

Viridian Forest is infested with Pikachus.

And it's also filled with Misty's favorite type of Pokemon. =3

Finally got Let's Go Eevee! Will play it tonight~

Now I haven’t played Sun and Moon, but in the latest Pkmn game I played, X and Y, I thought the online mode was pretty good, minus the obvious hacked monsters. If I remember correctly, I could match a Pokémon I wanted with one the other player wanted, making good trades. Why is the online mode in Let’s Go so barren in comparison? Everytime I try to start a trade I don’t know what the other player has to offer, and the other player always quits before we can even make a trade, which annoyingly throws you out of the online mode.

It sucks!

Oi, I just realized you can't play in the Game Corner anymore. Stupid PEGI/ESRB.

How about those Media Create sales figures in Japan eh.

660k units sold, 200k Switches.

Japan loves their Pokémon.

@Magician that’s around 1/3 of USUM lifetime, in just 2 days. That’s pretty respectable, I’d think.

Is that code for battles only or for trading as well? I haven't traded since XY but I think I want a full dex this time around.

I assume it's good for any mode

Anyone got the hang of throwing the Pokeball Plus yet?

It seems whenever I try to angle the thing in a certain direction, it goes flying the opposite way.

I think it really could have done with a tutorial / calibration screen specifically for the motion controls.

I’ve found the best way to get a consistent straight throw is to flick the joycon upwards. Maybe it works with the pokeball too.

@Yosheel oh I generally have no problem throwing straight, and indeed find that too.

It's just angling the ball that is the problem...

Such a shame really as I quite like the feeling of the ball, but handheld mode provides the best way of actually successfully catching things.

Hard to explain, but this is the baseline I started with and tweaked from there;
If your elbow is the pivot, and a karate chop towards the middle of the tv throws straight, a chop to put your pinky in the bottom corner would give a side through.

Now I've got Parappa stuck in my head...
