The colors and design style is kinda what I hope Animal Crossing 2019 will look like.
Agreed
I think it looks too bland, don't get me wrong it still looks pretty and I don't want hyper-realistic Animal Crossing. It looks like a up rez'd 3DS game, what with the simple textures, grass, items and animations. I just think it could look a lot better if they tried more variety and details.
yeah, but its gotta have those vibrant orange sunsets too
nah animal crossing is going to have bad animations my dad works ats Nintendo of America
yeah, i think in the smash trailer it was lowkey gameplay
So you have to battle the master trainers with the same pokemon they battle you with??
That'll take a while at level 75...
Ya and whats to say you don't own them at all level 100 pokemon?
Really not interested in this Pokemon game personally. I’m looking forward to the main series game in 2019 though.
So am I. i leaked it though and I'm already playing the demo of it
@@nanakuzi358 funny joke.
Whats the difference?
@@jessesalazar6774 The name for starters. They're also meant to be more closer to Pokemon go with the simplified catching mechanics and lack of things like abilities and held items. Severely limited Pokemon roster only 153 whereas main Pokemon games introduce more than half that much as new ones while also keeping a majority of the old ones from other generations.
These are meant to be loose spin offs to reel in Pokemon go players to buy a switch.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero so pretty much i should not buy this wait for the n3xt one and in the meantime buy smash bros?
Hear that? Were lovely people
i just realised that poliwags mouth is not his nose.... im so confused
I either like this game or original Red. I've fallen out of love with FireRed and Leaf green because this game is so much prettier. And the nostalgia factor mixed with the quality of life improvements make it worth it for me.
I know this is weird but i want the pokeball plus to work even just barely on smash ultimate
I tried using my sister's ddr pad for brawl back in the day, but unfortunately, the arrows were gamecube d-pad, and so you could only neutral a/b and taunt.
Only thing missing really is the b button
@@Tjd3211Gaming which is perfect for controller roulette i have planned out with my brothers and friends.
1v1,final design,no items,fox only,pokeball plus only
boi (~>.
But, is the Pikachu voiced by -Hugh Jackman- Ryan Reynolds?
No, he's gotta be voiced by Kaiji Tang, man.
No Ryan Reynolds, no buy
Yes he is. And Eevee is voiced by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Get to the chopper!
Dude its crazy i see you on all Xisumas videos and then here XD
How do you do that thing where you cross out a word?
You know a pun is bad when you have to cut to a live cam to apologize for it.
Everyone on the internet: "Im not buying this garbage! How dare they ruin my nostalgia! This game is gonna flop and im gonna laugh!"
*game ends up selling 15 million copies
yeah, just like Ultimate Sun/Moon sold 15 million! Wait...
TheAlibabatree Honestly, I was always just not interested in these games, but even I know Let's Go will sell super well. And if they do well enough Game Freak makes Let's Go Johto games, sure, go ahead. "Not for me" just means "not for the individual." Everyone should make their own decision regarding these games and play them if they want.
They're gonna be successful, no sense being petty about it. Just go about your lives, people, nothing more to say here.
I mean I'd buy this game, but I don't think it is worth 60 dollars
The main complaints against this game aren't about ruining their nostalgia.
Jack Son if you bought ultimate sun/moon , you got scammed on eBay .
I might just get it because the movie trailer made me
@@RhythmGrizz not good though. Very passable at most you play it once and that is it
@@RhythmGrizz That I have to disagree with. The game yes, but not the movie.
I really dislike the idea of the Lets go Games. However, I am really interested in the movie.
Im just happy theyre trying something interesting and different. They may look weird but I've always imagined pokemon never looking the cutest in real life.
But if it helps, the person that made those pokemon in real life fan art, helped design the ones in the movie.
What movie? Oh, the Detective Pikachu that is on the 3DS?
@@jackson5116 Yes, the detective pikachu movie on the 3DS, the one we all know about. /s
Might actually catch all the pokemon for once bc of no random encounters. And the master trainers sounds pretty hardcore. Looking forward to friday!!
I just call in a reserve copy at gamestop
@Number 5 - Colostomy Bag good luck bro, hope u get it on time. I ordered mine on amazon prime for first day delievery UK
@Number 5 - Colostomy Bag you could get the digital version if you're dont mind digital. The file size is pretty small so it wont take much space. Assuming you can get a refund. Even if you have to wait an extra day, it'll suck but it'll be that much more exciting!
@Number 5 - Colostomy Bag completely agree. I prefer physical especially for 1st party. Indies like hollow knight and dead cells I have digitally but everything else physical
Never mind just had a big bill on my car and can't afford it :'(
I wish they made that catching system optional, especially since they have a battle system working in game.
Hey, you're in that new smash ultimate aren't you?
Well, good to meet ya!
I was holding off at first, but after seeing more of this game and hearing how streamlined it is. I'll take the plunge. Like Smash Brothers, I have been a die hard Pokémon casual since Red/Blue. Losing abilities stings a bit, but I never committed to EV/IV training. I honestly don't understand EV/IV training, and because I have never played competitively... I don't miss those at all.
Plus with my own personal life changing and just getting over a really rough couple of months, this game looks so chill and relaxing. Something that I look more for when it comes to video games nowadays.
Thanks for the review! I'm going to pick up the Eevee version, myself. I like Pikachu, but I want a different starter this time around.
"making it user-friendly for modern audiences" I had no problem with the review until this point. Personally, I'm not buying it, it's not my Pokémon game. But that passage made me realize why I personally dislike these games. I played Pokemon when I was 8 years old. I didn't have problems at all. Why do people nowadays need the removal of challenges? The automatic healing from status effect (because "bu-hu I don't like them")? Also, why do people complain about the Zubats?
Honestly, It's supposed to be an adventure, not a vacation. When I was a kid I grew up nearby the woods. Going camping WASN'T comfortable, but it was exciting...LIKE an adventure. Bugs, fishing, cooking, sleeping out, all these had pros and cons that made it more memorable and I loved the early Pokemon games because of that. Too many Zubat? Get repels. They are available for this reason, manage your money. Battles are too difficult? Train, get better, adapt. If you didn't want an adventure, go play Sudoku on your phone.
These new Pokèmon games cater to an audience of "lazy players". Also, having all the "challenges" placed comfortably at the end, not to "ruin-your-easy-journey" it's honestly insulting. Kids beat these games. I did. We all did without Nintendo holding our hands this much. The challenge made the journey more memorable.
This is what pisses me off about these game and "modern" audiences.
Amen, fam. Amen. *Moon* felt way too hand-holdy.
I mean Reggie said it best last E3 with his comment about challange in video games - but I do find it funny how offended Pokemon fans are at the idea that people would like to play a game just for fun, nostalgia and relaxing (you know totally valid reasons to play video games).
I think a lot of you need to get off your high horse, and wait for the more core Pokemon experience next year. This game isn't for you. Being an old man yelling at the clouds doesn't change that.
Alexander Chilton OK if people want to play video games to relax, then why do they have to ruin Pokemon?? What's stopping them from playing the hundreds of relaxing games? Why does Pokemon have to extremely dumbed down to cater to lazy people when there's already games this audience can play? this is barely a game. Hopefully gen 8 will be as good as a console pokemon deserves to be
@@jaredkhan8743
Good god you sound like an entiteled fanboy.
It is one Pokemon game out of so, so many.. Move on and wait for the next one.
@@alexanderchilton911 My point, as I stated in my comment, is not that I hate these games or the fact that they shouldn't exist. It's that these game has been "adapted to be easier for modern audiences" whilst the majority of people played Pokémon when kids. Now, is a game a Kid can beat with a moderate amount of challenge (Pokèmon are not hard...c'mon) too hard for modern audiences? I am not complaining about changes, I do believe the series needs to be updated. I simply believe that EVEN Pokémon Go player might want some sort of moderate challenge, the one enough for a kid to overcome, in their console games. A game can be relaxing, it doesn't have to be easy.
Pokemon Let's Go Alolan Exeggutor.
CHANGE MY MIND
Why change something that is already perfect?
Perhaps we could also have let's go magikarp!
@Ethoea, perfect = without flaw.
I see no flaws in this absolutely brilliant idea XD
@Ethoea, fair enough, my definition was in fact incorrect. What improvements could be made then?
@Ethoea, genius.
Does it still sit om your head ?
Still not sure if im buying it
Edit: I bought it
Same
Same. While it would be nice to revisit Kanto in its HD glory, I really don't care for the GO! mechanics, and it would have at least been nice to choose your play style, even if it meant segmenting players in multiplayer. Can't wait for next year's main installment.
Yeah Save your hard earned cash
If you got the money why not
@@afromarco005 I'm spending my hard earned cash. This game looks awesome till I can get my hands on Smash!
I don't really think I'll be getting this. I'll wait until the 8th gen...
It just doesn't sit right with me somehow, this blend of *Go* and Kanto...
Good lad
Carl Williams deadass?!?!
Same here honestly this jist makes me want to play the original more than buy a 60 dollar upgrade
The silent majority is with you. In hindsight, this "lets go series" will be seen as a blight on the franchise. Pokemon Company is in the habit of screwing around with the past ( the new retcon movies)
Am I the only one that wants another Poképark game?
maybe
I want one too.
Leo Sullivan Pokepark and Pokemon Conquest.Those are the Pokemon spinoffs we need.
@@steliosmaniatakos2692 conquest is the shit, let's get a remake of stadium
I would have liked for them to keep a normal battle system for wild Pokémon. Then once you've weakened them use the "throw" mechanics. That's kind of how I throught this was going to be and I'm kinda bummed that they didn't do that
Waffling ends at 0:24 seconds in
davesouza86 Thx
But when will he stop pancaking?
You are the hero we need my good sir!
No, it ends at 11:19 ;D
Not all heroes wear capes, etc etc
Slowdown in HANDHELD mode for THIS GAME???? That makes me worried for Gen 8.
Which, may I add, is the best way to play a Pokémon game?
To be fair, he said only in the heavily populated areas - I doubt there will be walking Pokemons everywhere next gen since it is a more "core handheld experience" (Gamefreak's own words).
Alexander Chilton buts it’s supposed to be a much better graphical experience. Let’s go is based on the 3DS games.
@@KOSTNOT
Eh, isn't it more based Pokemon Go and Yellow? (sort of in the name).
Don't know, I think the game is pretty, but hope for a more exciting art style in the 2019 game.
Alexander Chilton I mean graphically it’s upres 3DS game
FRLG are still superior.
Yes, it's a very casual pokemon game mainly aimed at Go players, but still looks alright. If you don't like it just don't buy it. A mainline game is coming next year, don't see the point of people complaining a lot...
@@mypenisisunbelievablysmall5258Again a mainline game is coming just next year.... doubt it will affect the quality of the next game tbh, and budget is never a problem for nintendo/game freak
@Scitch2781 can't tell if that's towards the people wanting to buy it or those in other camp
@@ATNtalk it's very lazy product. I don't wish to buy cause I don't want to incentivice game freak into making more product like these. It's used with existing assets and strips away plenty other content. Though the creator is finally leaving which I consider a good thing for the franchise.
I mean don't get me worng most pokemon games are very say but they try using small changes. Thus completely regressive in my opinion.
However I am really hyped about the new detective pichacu movie. Anything that promotes change moving forward rather than back if happily pay money for.
Sorry for the rambling
The point is that if this game is a great success, Nintendo/TPC changes the core RPG series game mechanics thinking that this is what fans want.
@@brizzle3947 the main games were worn out in 2007
I really wanted a Pokemon Red and Blue remake on the switch, but not like this...
Mario R same. since my cousin bought the game, ill try it out and see if i like it.
Please share. There is no Random Online Battles in this game. You have to use a code and have your friend use the same code if you want to battle someone far away. HOWEVER if all of us use the same code pikachu pikachu pikachu. We can make this a way to have random battles with other trainers.
the most fun part of Pokemon reviews is that sometimes the Metacritic score is different between the twin versions
Probably due to different reviewers.
Too much water
Wait, so you can't play it with a pro controller?
Unfortunately not.
Kaden Renz what a game...
@@jaredkhan8743 I don't plan to get this game nor do I have a pro controller but I'm still disappointed
Pretty sure you can despite what the other comments say, in handheld mode you don't have to use motion controls you line it up with the L stick and throw with a
@Ethoea wait so you still have to move the console to aim?
"core pokemon series"
Yeah, its core
Jmillar742 that's funny cuz they released a statement saying its not... But oh well, people will believe whatever they want. They even specified saying Pokemon 2019 is a "core" game which surprised me since I didn't think they would refer to it as such.
@@jaredkhan8743 They released a statement saying it is a core game. It's just like the other remakes being core games.
Jared Khan source?
@@skylanderking7645 the both of you are confusing "core" with "generation", as this is clearly NOT the next generation since it's based off generation 1, but is an RPG, and that's what the translation referred to, they called it an RPG, which fans have interpreted as "core"
Legend says he eventually got that Ekans.
"the creepy man standing outside the celadon city gym is still there"
Well, I'm sold.
3:51 2 vs 1 (especially against a ratatta) should be illegal
wait...... you just read other people's review? uh..okay..that's..weird
Fighting before catching a Pokemon? It's NOT there. Won't get it.
After seeing how well diablo runs on the switch, I honestly don’t know why this game has slowdown
Because game freak is lazy
Diablo 3 is a last gen game. lmao trust me, side by side comparison with a modern pc...switch looks awful but at least it runs good.
@@pkmn_trainer_chito1502 but LGPE in not graphically intensive AT ALL.
@@jowysw well pc has usually alot more resources available to it compared to a switch which essentially is just a tablet so yes pretty big difference in what each can do. Don't get me wrong I do like my switch for out and about gaming but thats what it's meant for is something mobile where my Tower or laptop not so much
@@pkmn_trainer_chito1502 sure it's last gen but Pokemon is coming from 240p. Lol
You can sugar-coat it all you want, but this game is not for the die-hard Pokemon gamer IMO. Wouldn't pay full price for this game at all. Seems like a wait for sale game even if you have slight interest in it.
I am happy that you can throw a pokeball just with the A button.
It's possible in 3 A presses, w/ a menu of simplicity. Not this berry horseshyte.
@@DryPaperHammerBro what are you saying?
This would've been a *GREAT* Kanto remake had it not been contaminated by Pokemon Go's awful mechanics. Why remove something (wild battles) that's been a staple of the series since its conception?
When I catch a Pokemon in the core games, it makes me feel like I have a new partner. In Pokemon Go, it feels like I'm *quite literally* collecting candy--you get it, say "Oh, look at that", pop it in your mouth, and continue searching for another quick and fleeting burst of enjoyment. I don't feel like I'm building a team, I feel like it's Halloween.
Forced to use motion controls docked... that's just ridiculous
I can understand peoples frustrations with the "Let's Go!" games being really dumbed down compared to the classic originals we grew up with (Blue version FTW). However, I can kind of get where Nintendo is coming from here. Pokémon Go opened up a whole new player base who may have literally zero experience with RPG games or elements thereof. So, in this sense having a game that will be mostly familiar to them (the mobile capture mechanic) will be reassuring to them while introducing the traditional battle system.
I completely agree that there's way too much hand holding and catering to what could be perceived as "lazy" gamers in a lot of titles, however in this instance I can see why they did it.
I plan on getting the Pikachu version towards the end of the month, because it does look fun and relaxing which is something I could do with at the moment.
Fear not Pokémon vets, there's a full main line game in the works... we just have to wait a little while longer for it. Hopefully with all the usual RPG bits and bobs we love and hate...
... including a bazillion Zubats in Mount Moon...
7.8/10. Not enough water.
Average Hoenn Enjoyer
This is a podcast. The visuals didn't have anything to do with what was being said. I would have loved to see an example of a player 2 entering the game or screenshots of the cute details like the pokemon posters on the wall or the oddish vase.. Lazy review tbh
Is catching really simplified? In real Poke games you just weaken the pokemon. Now you have to pick the right berry, pick the right ball, and throw the ball correctly. Seems more complex and frustrating.
Bryant McMillan Yeah, cause jrpg battle systems are really simple I remember now...
Bryant McMillan I think they should've combined it. That way it doesn't get stale and boring cuz this WILL get boring
Yes, it's just like a ... mobile game
Hmmph let's think about it ................. ~(>.
Ummm final fantasy? Mario rpg hmmmm?
Probably the first Pokemon game that I have no desire to play. I don't really hate it but at the same time it's a real disappointment.
k

Sounds great. I'll pick it up on pay day. Should be a nice little pallet cleanser in between big sessions of RDR2.
Walaigi for lets go!
There is no pokemon game I have been more disinterested in than this one and I have played almost every main series game.
Catching hundreds of the same Pokemon to level up and train Pokemon while inferior ones or just extras are discarded in exchange for candies still goes against the very core of every other game and the series itself.
Impossible to have a close bond with a Pokemon if you've caught innumerable amounts of them. And I think the companion Pokemon is meant to offset that but can you imagine if Ash threw every one of his Pokemon away Everytime he caught a new one of the same kind?
I don't like the new capture mechanism because pokemon go kind of ruined it for me also why does Nintendo feel the need to change mechanics that are extremely popular to something completely stupid like the mechanics of a pathetic mobile game that ruined the franchise, oh and I HATE THE STUPID CANDIES
Why would “seasoned players” be interested in the dumbed down IV and EV system?
No fight (other than pokémon trainers), no game.
Things to go for 2019:
pokemon go mechanics
THE HANDHOLDING!!!
no wild battles
Things to stay 2019:
pokemon in overworld
pc on you always (maybe)
overall hope yall enjoy it tho..
Tbh, the Pokémon in overworld mechanic needs to (Pokémon) go.
Carl Williams I can see why you'd want that. the reason why i want it to stay is cause it gets rid of the tedious task of running in the grass for one pokemon (and gets rid of the zubats and money on repels, oh my glob!!). If i see a psyduck, I dont have to go through 3 pidgey's and a rattata to get one. Although I do want them to make spawn rates of rarer pokemom to be less so it really feels like your searching for them. Like the shiny's in this one. And they could make wild pokemon tough so when you encounter one by mistake, like it can happen here, (if wild battles return) you'll really know you're screwd and more determined to look for you're specifc one, while leaving a grinding option for those that want it.(not me tho haha). But yeah, no such thing as a perfect game right. just my wishfull thinking.
This game needs way better animation
People feel weird standing there dead eyed. And mouth movement in scenes is almost nonexistent. Its faithful to Yellow but I wish Nintendo would remake Kanto and make it a living breathing world without people husks standing blankly when I walk into a building. Like have them cooking or vacuuming or something. Anything!!!
It was fine for the gameboy but this just feels lazy.
Thx for the review!
02:45
I like the 'battle, weaken, and mechanic capture'.
@@RhythmGrizz There are also those who really hate random encounters.
Give them some chance to dabble in the universe, keep calm and wait. Or enjoy all the same.
@@RhythmGrizz Pokemon is about catching pokemon. Ive been catching them that way for over 15 years. I can deal with ine game changing the formula a bit.
I don't. When I'm trying to get through Mt Moon, if I can do it without running into a Zubat every 2 steps, that's a major improvement to me. And no standing around, grinding, waiting for that 1-every-30-minutes Clefairy.
I think my comment is being misunderstood.
I was referring the the unintentional swapping of the words 'mechanic' and 'capture'... :)
Magnes G you dont need to have random encounters to keep the “Battle, weaken, capture” mechanic
Removing the battling aspect for wild pokemon is a completely ridiculous move by Nintendo especially with wonky motion controls
I hate the catching mechanic, and thats really turning me off...
*HHHHHHHHHELLO there LUUUUVely PEEEEEEPULLL*
This game is not worth £50 ..
Stay Sane I’m looking forward to it cause it’s OST is amazing and it’s nice and fresh to see another gen 1 remake after fire red and leaf green
@@zeeem4404 Not a Sinnoh. Where's my Sinnoh?!
how?
Ethoea chill out bro it’s just a game.. yes I should of added as my “opinion” but I still believe this game shouldn’t be priced the same as rdr2 or botw .. big meaty games
Ethoea
We’re dealing with different ideas of worth here. You’re talking about “worth” in the personal enjoyment sense which is entirely subjective. But the OP is talking about “worth” more along moral grounds, i.e. “is it wrong that they are charging £50 for this game?” And I think there is a case to be made for that. Compared to games like BotW and Rdr2 which took 5+ years to make and much more money and effort, this game looks like a cash grab and may not be “worth” charging people £50 (people in general, i.e. the fanbase as a whole, not you individually).
Hmm I love Pokémon, but I think this time its gonna be a Pokémon no-go..
funny how the fans have asked GameFreak to change up the series and they complied and now the fans are crying about said change they asked for now they are asking to revert back and when they do they will cry about the series going "stale" and the cycle starts anew. this applies to every game and fans of said games. also the fans crying about the difficulty is justified.
the world aint black and white kid no one wants change just for change sake look at starfox or anything miyamoto's been doing most of it gets panned for the bad and uneeded changes being made
You have to be fair here they changed the gameplay to coincide with the weakest version of any pokemon game (spin-off or core game), pokemon go. If theres one game that gets stale fast its pokemon go. Most people stopped playing pokemon go by the time they even announced this game. Essentially they tried to reboot pokemon go to get more $$$. This game has cash grab written all over it. It's quite pathetic to see that even pokemon go, a mobile game, features more pokemon than this game.
Because the fans are fucking nerds
>Takes out most elements that make pokémon - pokémon
>Not a pokemon game anymore
But hey it looks nice right?
Still, no.
still waiting for pokemon core game out.....
This is it. This is a core too.
Is it bad that I'm actually looking forward to EV and IV training a Weedle?
So if I don’t want to play Pokemon go I’m locked out of some fetchers. Like a alola forms. That’s a huge thing to mis out on. And I don’t like the Pokemon go style capture mechanic. This Pokemon go stuff better not be a trend for future games. I know this game is designed to bring over the go audience but i feel like it pushes away core Pokemon fans. The one thing that’s added I do like is seeing the Pokemon in the overworled. That’s nice.
Really nice and concise review. Thanks. I'm still on the fence since there are so many other good Switch games to play but your review was really good.
Don’t watch the IGN review because you will see something cool that you want to find out your self!!!
Noted. Thank you kind sir
Pc from bag!? That’s broken, does it still heal your pokemon?
I m waiting for this remake for 2 years for me its a dream since my first Pokémon game was red and yellow after that i only play it fire red since was a remaster of red and Pokémon y because it Brings some nostalgic to classic games of gbc and it was the first game With 3ds graphics and Megas soo after that o dont realy enjoy the frenchise since after ruby and saphira because they never stop making new Pokemon with bad design and the story fell apart and repetitive. The 3 first generations are the best and x y was a good mix of that!!!
Really appreciate you clearing up the ev and IV mechanics. A lot of reviewers miss this completely
I don’t like these new handicaps getting brought to the series. I remember back when I was 10 and still in the Pokémon craze that I went back from black and white to red and blue so I could have more of a challenge. Just because the main audience is kids doesn’t mean the games should be designed for fetuses :/
Wait does this cost more than super mario Odyssey
Yes, it does.
This.
This...
It cost the same.
@@Baal_in_Dark well in the UK mario odyssey cost around £40 whereas let's go is around £50
@@dgomez301 Don't know how the currency works in the UK. But at least in the US. Both are $60.
For me its the same price as ultimate which is 80$ca
You know, I wasn’t so sure about this, but I might actually pick this up
Can't wait to play it!
I'm going to be nuzlocking this game on my first playthrough with a few additional rules. One once you load into an area you can pick which pokemon you want to catch but if you run into a different pokemon along the way well then damn. Sucks for you. That's your encounter. Second only 3 heals at anyone pokecenter. If your starter faints you can sacrifice 2 pokemon to revive it. Then dupes clause, and shiny clause
Slowdown...? This game has Slowdown... Man, GameFreak is more incompetent than I thought.
Jowe you thought they were incompetent? Well, I’d like to know why if you don’t mind
@@Millicente I said it in my comment. Why a game that is not taking advantage AT ALL of the Switch graphical capabilities runs at 30fps and have slowdown? If it was a big game like Xenoblade 2 I would understand more but that is not the case.
Jowe Didn’t it run at a steady 60fps and only dropped in viridian forest?
@@Tom-oz8it it probably would have been mentioned if it was running at 60fps
gamefreak is a lazy bastards company...
They "removed all the menacing RPG elements" from an RPG... 'Kay.
Its really disheartening to see all this hate for a game that Game Freak have tried so hard to make appealing to Pokemon fans and newcomers. It just seems that people find out about a new system, they hate, it gets an extra feature or new detail that makes it just as good or even better than it was before and then the fans hate it even more.
Maybe after release when word gets out about how good the game really is, people will change their minds and maybe give it a shot.
I dislike this game because it's a joke. So much of the experience has been striped away and the price has increased. I've been a fan since HGSS and this game most certainly isn't aimed at me because I like to have a challenge when playing.
@@jeff3221, | can see where you're coming from, as a fan who also started with gen 4 (HGSS are my favourites) but I think that you aren't looking at it from the right angle. This game isn't supposed to be the next big mainline game even if it is sometimes labeled as such. This game is supposed to be a back to basics imagining, inspired by both the anime and Pokemon Go.
To be honest I always found Kanto to be the worst region: its tiny, the only terrain is grasslands, caves and water with a single forest for good measure, terrible and broken balancing, any Pokemon with a high special stat was instantly god tier, the cities and locations (except for lavender town) had little to none personality, items and HMs where a massive pain to use and everything felt painfully slow (and this is coming from the guy who started with Diamond and Pearl). With Let's Go the balancing has been fixed, all the locations really pop and have memorability, the stats are fixed, POKEMON CAN FUCKING FOLLOW YOU AGAIN, encounters are mostly optional and depend on the wild pokemon's AI, catching Pokemon is now more immersive and meaningful than ever, you get an adorable little fluff ball that can really take a hit as a companion and Gym Leader rematches return.
Whilst the removal of breeding ma be sad and make getting into competitive battling seem even harder to get into, with the new catch combo feature, after 31 consecutive catches (which will also get you many catching rewards), you are guaranteed a Pokemon of the that species with 6 flawless IVs and are 6 times more likely to encounter that Pokemon's shiny form. Just you tell that that isn't fantastic.
Pokemon has never been challenging except for some post-game or extra content, something that has been carried through to Let's Go in the form of the master trainers. In addition to this, many Pokemon have been leveled up post Lt. Surge.
I think it's to be expected that the current hard fanbase wouldn't like this. It looks to be a nice game though. I'm still on the fence by the forced motion controls.
And don't worry, there will be many many people playing this. Think of all the GO players that will get interested.
@@benjaminbrown2795 I could just play Soul Silver and experience a challenge, Pokemon walking behind me, etc. Shinies seem like a pointless concept at this point, GF has constantly made it easier and easier to get them. But why? They're supposed to be uber rare genetic anomalies. Getting a shiny off a random encounter always had more satisfaction for me. As for competitive Pokemon, that doesn't interest me as it's too much work. If I feel like getting any semblance of a competitive experience, I'd just play Showdown anyway.
This game not being for the core audience is insulting as this is the first time a main entry has been on a console. If this came out after the 2019 title I wouldn't care
Features making it just as good or even better. Thing is, thats subjective to what you think is an improvement.
I think they should have allowed you to use touchscreen to catch in handheld mode
Yeah.... this is a hard no.
It sounds to much holding hand for my taste among I can't stand the lets go gameplay
I’m really disappointed that the game is so easy. I wish they at least allowed difficulty settings, or balanced the difficulty of co-op play.
You again? You're everywhere for something you are disappointed off.
If you ever wanted to know how bad let's go is all you have to do it watch any number of reviews on it where the reviewer spends most of his time trying to convince you that the changes aren't that bad lol
oh boy, can't wait to mix the game and the Pokemon app at work and classes. Also the poke ball looks dope and handy. I look at this game as a filler to warm the fanbase for 2019 sow don't be so skeptical peeps. They see money in he mobile industry but still stay true to there main plan. Ps: Better than the diablo fiasco tho. Still buy this game later if its Christmas.
You know the Pokemon fanbase is nostalgia-blind when they hate on newer Pokemon games for being "too easy" and never stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, Pokemon was never all too difficult to begin with.
Too many people mix required grinding with "challenge".
If you've played XY with the EXP share on, all the way through you know how boring it can be. Challenge often means balanced most games were pretty good.
I hate the massive level jumps in HGSS, so grinding is not challenge.
@@toddcarter4829 turn off exp share. It's _LITERALLY_ GF's version of changing the difficulty.
^This.
@@april5054 I said 'If'. I have played XY multiple times with the exp share off.
But my point was that balance is important to challenge; being severely over or under leveled is not fun.
The exp share is built into let's go for catching so it works a little differently
I understand the desire to comment on the competitive nature of the game due to the recent schism between more casual (I'm not using casual as a derogatory term) oriented players and more core/competitive oriented players however if you don't fully understand the systems, you should really avoid doing so. In this review for example, the reviewer mentions how EV's are in the game and they aren't. (Well technically they are but they go unused. I imagine they're just there in the code so that it's able to transfer Pokemon from Let's Go to Gen 8 when it releases next year.) Instead they are replaced with a new system called awakening values, AVs for short. Now on the surface AVs may seem like a more simplified and transparent version of EVs, but they aren't.
You see what makes the EV system so great is that there's a limit to how many you Pokemon can have both in each individual stat as well as overall. Said limits are 255 per individual stat and 510 overall. You also didn't get a stat point for every EV, instead getting one for every four EVs instead.This combined with hold items let you customize each Pokemon on your team to best suit your own personal strategies. It also let weaker Pokemon find niches that could let them stand toe to toe with much stronger Pokemon (Look up VGC Pachirisu). AVs on the other hand let you pump 200 into every stat and each AV is equal to a full stat point. By removing the limits that the EV system had, it ends up removing a lot of the customization and creativity that goes into making a team. It's made even worse by the removal of hold items and abilities.
I'm not trying to say this makes the game awful or anything, I'm just trying to show that there's more wrong with the stat system from a competitive angle than the review lets on.
Smile? Nope. Sigh in annoyance? Yup.
You're just passionate leaving multiple negative comments.. smh
This game is $60 while games like RDR2 and Forza Horizon 4 are $60 as well...think about that.
i fail to see why you gave this an 8/10. also why the hell are they trying to make the game easier? back in the 90's millions of kids played the originals and managed just fine. i played pokemon blue when i was 7 and didn't struggle for even a second. just has me wondering who the hell this game is even meant for.
The newest generation of child-friendly games have progressively begun to hold the hands of the user, and anything more might be too difficult. They're trying to cater to all ages, and this is how they've taken it.
I understand your point, and the next mainline game might bring interest to you.
Snowflakes.
those 10's of millions who didn't play who downloaded Go. It's literally the exact same mechanic!
Okay? And? Are you trying to throw shade at the younger generations? How bout you calm your flared man tiddies and wait calmly for gen 8 and let us the people who play pokemon for fun enjoy our spinoff
What makes you think this is easier? Just because they makes several QOL improvements doesn't mean the game is easier. It just makes stuff more convenient.
Yeah, not gonna buy it. : / Pokémon was ALREADY a simplified, more 'streamlined' JRPG, that being said it was still a full-fledged JRPG that offered a very unique twist to the Dungeons and Dragons based genre.
This is not. What I get from seeing this is it's a gorgeous, adorable game to look at and listen to.
Really stinks, if this was truly the original game I'd of bought it in a heartbeat without question.
I hope to god Gen 8 is absolutely NOTHING like this, at all. I'll still see what gen 8 looks like, but as of this game, Pokemon has died, and for no reason other than Masuda's sudden obsessions with Gen 1 and the Mobile Market, where real games have absolutely no business.
Kek Gaming agreed.Maduda seems to have no idea what the gaming audience truly want anymore. First we got US/UM which were not bad games but tbh shouldn’t have existed and now these. When you compare these games to BOTW, SMO, Splatoon 2, ARMS ect ect it lacks the innovation and care that makes the switch’s big hits so amazing. This makes me scared for gen 8 but as long as they have breeding and stats like they have always been, I’ll be fine with them
Well Junichi didnt do USUM or SM but either way hes apparently stepping down from all director roles in the future. Good at this point in time, although i loved BW so kinda sad for me there.
@@Hydralyph Imo, W2 isn't bad w/o him!
@@DryPaperHammerBro Doesn't make his work on Black and White any less meaningful. It takes a lot for a director to change up how a game operates drastically from his last directing position (Platinum) I am really surprised BW turned out as differently as they did. Also BW2 are still amazing games in my opinion, Takao Unno did a great job and I would love to see him helm a Generation 8 game even if it is a remake of Sinnoh.
@@DarkCreeper010 Agreed. I just want my Sinnoh, myself. Never owned the original. I still have my White card. I started w/ Blue Rescue Team.
Is this video sponsored?
Is there an exp share?
Yes but you can toggle it off if you want.
@@faceofbear8024 I got my info from the recent Nintendo direct they did on this game
@@faceofbear8024 you can toggle it off
Question, if you transfer Mew into your Pokémon file but it somehow gets deleted, does Mew basically regenerate when you start playing a new file? I know Pokémon Let's Go doesn't support the Nintendo Switch Online cloud back up from what I heard. I just want to make sure you'll always be able to access Mew on a new file or say you buy a pre-owned one in the future, will it always come with Mew?
Honestly can't wait for this game. I understand that they wanted to try something different with this game and I think it really shows that they cared and took time to recreate Kanto in 3D . I know not everyone will like this but, I think a nice comment is needed in this comment section as half of it is a bunch of butt hurt people who love to complain and say its complete shit. Some of those people will also have no idea how to create a game like this or know the fact that they had to relearn code to put these games onto the switch. I don't know how to create a game as well but, thats besides the point . I am grateful that I will have something to play this year and also look forward to gen 8. I think this game is a step GameFreak and Nintendo need to take to test out these new features and how a Pokemon game would do on the switch.
I'm completely fine with the existence of this game. It's not one I'm going to buy personally, but it's also something that could be good for the overall Pokemon series, so long as Game Freak and Pokemon Company keep this as a separate series and don't try to infuse the aspects with the core games.
Considering these games could drag the Let's Go market into the core Pokemon experience, the existence of them could boost sales of the next core game and ensure that we get more Pokemon Switch games. The last thing we need is a disastrous launch of a core title on Switch and have them abandon it and retreat to the handhelds.
hEEEEeElLo tHEre LoVElY pEoPlE1!1!!1
I've got it on pre-order
How the hell does this game have slow down? That makes no sense it looks like a game from 2 generations ago
Personally the only thing that this game offers that I even remotely care about is a legit Mew in that silly pokeball controller. Even inspite of the good reviews it still just looks like glorified Pokemon Go.
I'd wait for an event if I were you. It's not worth it to waste your money AND give Nintendo positive reinforcement for this game.
@@Alvosploio you do make a good point, but. . . Easy access to something they are normally stupid stingy with lol.
Cant wait to go back to kanto! Personally i think that ball has too many features to not buy. As a casual ho player i cant wait to use that thing.i probably wont use it as a controller. I just want to keep a bulbasour in there. Probably forever... or maybe a squirtle... to bad i cant put 2 in there... first world problems 🙄
"The game is catering to players of all experience levels"
Well that's a bold lie...
