I'm still going to buy this regardless since I've played every mainline game since RB, but the the whole 'catering to new players' spiel they're pushing has me worried. It's almost shocking how much they've already simplified the games since the transition to 3D. I wouldn't be surprised if EVs/IVs had been eradicated, since apparently breeding/wild Pokemon battling are no-more.
That plus being stuck with the original 151 (are they seriously going to limit the likes of Crobat/Blissey/Steelix et al. again?!) and what seems to be an exact replica of the original Kanto region which, while great for nostalgic purposes, is ridiculously bland and one-note. I'm hoping for a few new routes/towns here and there, but what we've seen doesn't really indicate that. Oh, and for the love of God, less unskippable cut-scenes and no f***ing Lillie/Hau. USUM is nigh-on unplayable for me. |

These are not the main-line Pokemon games announced at E3 last year, I'm guessing these are bascially spin-offs. This post has been edited by WhoOdyssey: May 30 2018, 02:36 PM |

Yep I did
 These are still basically main series tbh it's just something different. It's a re-imagining of Yellow really which isn't that far away from the remakes we get every generation which aren't spin-offs, it's just a slightly different way of doing a remake that isn't so note for note. I don't see why everyone is fussing round over whether it's a spin off or main series game as if that's the most important thing lmaooo They said that there's a main series coming in 2019 so this is the same timeline as always with a remake a year before the next gen. |

That Pokeball add-on looks cool, I hope it isn't too expensive.

It's too much like Pokemon Go for me. On the one hand, an updated remake of Kanto is great. I quite like how the Pokemon are seen walking around and you just approach who you want to battle, but at the same time it kinda ruins the idea of random encounters. It reminds me of the Pokemon hunting mechanic thing we had in ORAS (and maybe more? I can't remember) where you see a Pokemon shaking its tail and you slowing creep up to it to battle. I like it but I also don't?
 I like being able to battle wild Pokemon which was the main reason I got bored of Pokemon Go so quickly. What's the point in just throwing Pokeballs at everything without battling them first? It's like the entire game is just a Safari Zone. Safari Zone's are fun for a bit but once you've caught everything there is to catch (like 7-8 unique Pokemon) you leave and never come back...

They've confirmed there is no wild baffles so I think it's just using the Go mechanic. That's my problem with it really, I'm not the biggest fan of Go by any means but it works for something like that, not as a mechanic for the whole thing. Grinding will be even more tedious now, assuming we still get Exp for catching (which obv you didn't in gen 1), that you just have to keep flicking a ball at the same figure to get Exp...
I hope exp is a thing anyway, I'm definitely out if you have to catch like 50 of the same Pokemon to get the "candies" and evolve them :/ I doubt they would though, such simplistic gameplay is fine for a free smartphone game but they wouldn't do that for a full retail game. With battles in the game it'll be a bit rounded but I'm gonna wait to see more before I decide to get a Switch or anything |

I know they are trying to cater to the new, young audience, but they seem to be caring less and less about the hardcore original Pokemon gamers who just wanted a proper back to basics game but in glorious HD on a modern console. |

The Pokemon CEO has said that the next generation Pokemon game is due for release in the second half of 2019, will have better graphics than any prior Pokémon game, that it'll be completely new aimed at experienced fans, not like Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee and states that it will contain many brand new Pokémon. |

There's CP instead of actual stats
 this definitely feels like a more fleshed out Go playing out in Kanto.

I am quite excited for this game Don't forget the game next year which will be more for people used to the handhold games. |

Yeah it's like the simplified Pokemon Go version idk how it works exactly I think it's like a number that represents everything rather than having attack and speed etc separately. And yeah true I'll just probably skip this one and wait patiently for the one that's "for" me, it's interesting they are chasing a different demographic! |

Ah ok I play Pokemon Go and there are still stats but just one for attack, rather than special and physical separate. It's the same for defence. Then these make up the CP. I am just gutted by how much the Switch is

Oh ok that makes sense it's still simplified from the main games, I think this is a good business move tbf grabbing casual people from Go and bridging them to the "actual" games, as it's still an adventure like the normal games but has the simpler play of Go so newbies will feel its more accessible and not intimidating or too much to learn (not that Pokemon is rocket science, but still). It's just really not for me and certainly not something I'd want to buy a Switch for.
Looks like there's a lot of hand holding so it won't go down well with many hardcore fans as that was an issue in Sun & Moon, for example there's a screenshot that shows you have to have a grass or water type to be able to challenge Brock's gym. |
