I guess that rules out Goruchu or Dragon Eevee as that new Pokmon.

At least Pokemon Yellow made contextual sense, since it was supposed to mimic the anime where Pikachu didn't want to evolve so Ash left him as is. There's no real basis for non-evolution and, afaik, Eevee doesn't have a held item that can make him more viable as an unevolved Pokemon.

Then again, if Eevee can evolve and Pikachu can't, then who in their right mind would buy the Pikachu version? Why would anyone intentionally handicap themselves?

But then again, there wouldn't have been such a dilemma in the first place if they had chosen better cover pokemon for the two games.

But Eevee is handicapped compared to Pikachu, given that Pikachu has access to better moves and a special item that boosts his stats. More importantly, does it matter how the mascots compare?

Oh well, it's probably barely gonna be a "game" anyways, everything I learn about it makes it seem more and more terrible.

I especially don't like the stupid artstyle. Still ugly Chibis that barely look better than Sun and Moon. Why can't we get something better than Coliseum/XD/Revolution?

Does he? Iirc Pikachu's stats still suck even with Light Ball attached. Jolteon basically does everything Pikachu can do, probably better than Pikachu can. Then there's Eevee's versatility if you don't need a Jolteon.

Lightball Pikachu + volt tackle is pretty gnar but it kills him in like two turns

But he's far superior to Eevee at that point.

What versatility? Eevee itself doesn't get much.

Theres an episode in the original anime where Ash meets the Eevee brothers and the youngest brothers Eevee doesnt want to evolve and we learn they can be just as strong without evolution.

Pikachu has the Light Ball while Eevee gets Extreme Evoboost. It doesn't surprise me that the starter Eevee can't evolve. If you choose it you had better watch out if your rival gets Pikachu though, because it can learn Brick Break.

So, can you level up, still? And if so, I feel it'll be hard to. As it seems there aren't really many battles. Outside what few trainer battles you have.

Looks like a remake of Yellow on the sun/moon engine at first, but there are no wild battles (you can only catch wild pokemon GO style), the starters Evee and Pikachu can't evolve, and has coop play.

Btw, I do hope the coop thing gets passed on to the next main game, I would buy a Switch for playing Pokemon from start to finish with a friend.

The fuck?

On the one hand, seeing a game like Pokemon Go, but with way more depth and polish, would be a good thing to see. On the other hand, it sounds like they aren't intergrating this in the best way, and non-evolutions doesn't make sense.

You can evolve, just not your starters for some reason...

True. Though then didn't show any wild battle, IIRC. And would it just choose whether you battle or not? Or is it you can only battle if you already have that pokmon or something?

Even the trailer says that the gameplay is basically a placeholder though

It would be odd to have battles in the game but not for wild encounters

I didn't, either... But it might make sense if it's just a add on for Pokmon Go...
