Current Events > Let's Go got data mined

(+) Yeah! (+)

The story is a complete mess. It's after the events of RBY, but it's the same story as RBY. So Red and Blue still exist but the Let's Go trainer's do everything they did, but somehow Red and Blue still have their established back story even though you play as someone else and do what they did.

I'm glad this is Masuda's last game.

No, this is beyond the basic pokemon story. This is an attempt at a reboot, but without the courage to actually reboot.

Any possibility this after the events of RBY in another timeline?

The whole multiverse thing has left the lore and different timelines in an infinitely large clusterfuck.

It's literally the same exact story as RBY, except you're not Red.

As a lifelong fan of the franchise I'm starting to feel my interest slip lower than it ever has. There hasn't been a good Pokemon game in a while now.

None of you seem to understand that this isn't about the quality of the story, but that the story contradicts itself by taking place after RBY while retelling the events of RBY

Yeah that sounds pretty bad even by Pokemon standards.

I wasn't going to get this game anyway but still.

Last Pokmon games I truly enjoyed were Gen V games. I didnt even buy USUM. Not going to buy Lets Go. If Im not impressed with the next games, I think I may be done with the franchise except for the Mustery Dungeon games. Its a shame because I always bought Pokmon games on day one. Pokmon Blue was the first game I ever played and I have loved the series since.

I still have faith they can turn it around. I don't think Masuda stepping down is a bad thing either, tbh.

Wow they didn't put even 2 seconds of thought about the story into their trash game for hyper casuals? I'm truly shocked
---

I don't see the problem with that. Only thing you need to make it work is Red and Blue had their adventure earlier, Team Rocket never got in Red's way. Solves literally everything.

As for this being Masuda's last game as director that doesn't give me any good vibes because it's gonna be nothing but Ohmori's mild ride from here on out.

Does anyone play Pokemon for the story?

Only the Mystery Dungeon games.

In the main series, only the 5th gen games had a good story, but B/W had tons of other flaws that screwed it up.

Like the translation...the dialogue feels so stiff, and even in my initial playthrough I was like "nobody talks that way!" (HGSS had this problem too, but it was especially obvious in Gen. 5)

The stories in Pokemon are just fluff, but people don't complain enough about the English scripts in HGSS and Gen V. It's when The Pokemon Company International took over localization duty for the games from Nintendo, and their scripts in those first three games were all exceedingly stiff. The only reason the script in HGSS isn't as bad as BW or B2W2 is that a lot of it is just ripped from Nintendo's DPPt or GSC localizations, supposedly even when the localized GSC script was heavily trimmed down due to space restrictions or the Japanese version of HGSS rewrote the line. But man, when there's something they couldn't just take from DPPt or GSC and edit a bit, it's really heinous. The woman behind the desk in Cliff Edge Gate is one example that sticks in my mind.

The English scripts in the 3DS games are still pretty stiff too, but it's not nearly as bad as those three.

This.

They'll probably just explain Let's Go as just another universe and leave it at that. (I still find it crazy a simple-storied game like Pokemon has gotten into multiverse theory to explain the remakes and shit.)
