Nintendo is trying to turn Pokemon GO casuals into console gamers. The game isn't FOR people who own a switch. Not really. It's for people who don't but might be convinced into one with a better version of their mobile game that isn't so much more complicated as to scare them off.

The problem is that Pokmon Go died 2 years ago and one of those casual fans isnt going to spend hundreds of dollars on a switch just to play this game lol

I'm cautiously interested in Pokemon Let's Go simply because I quit caring after Gen 2, and I don't have the time to be some crazy IV EV trainer or whatever.

It's number 2 on Top Grossing on the android store, only behind Candy Crush.

EDIT: That's top grossing among all apps, not just games.

That's all well and good but is anyone who was "casual" with Pokemon Go really going to get into actual gaming because of it?

It's quite a leap from "download free mobile app" to "buy a game system and game that cost hundreds of dollars"

Is it bad that I'm actually excited for this game?

Not because I think it'll be any good, let's face it it's gonna be the worst Pokemon game ever made

But rather because I'm just so hyped to see exactly how shitty it'll be?

It is to make the GO fans like the game and get into the main series. This is a spinoff, so no real complaints should be had, since they said and are working on the next main game for the switch.

Let's Go is amazing. It has all the things we've wanted for years - seeing pokemon in the overworld, following/riding, etc

It cuts out some bullshit that nobody liked such as random battles, and everyone is acting like that's a bad thing for some reason. I don't really get why. Did you ENJOY fighting 20 Caterpie to level up to beat Brock?

This is how I feel. I can't say it's amazing as I haven't played it yet, but the fat it did cut was fat I didn't like or had no interest in anyways.

The only truly major change is how you catch Pokemon and, frankly, if you really think about it, battling wild Pokemon is kind of annoying and unnecessary. They compensated for it by having a significanty larger amount of trainers, which are the battles that matter anyway.

Other than that, it's just the high production values Pokemon game people have been asking for.

People will argue that not having wild battles will make it harder to grind, then casually ignore the obvious retort that the inability to grind trash mobs actually makes the game more challenging.

The funny part is that several reviews mention how the actual battles seem quite a bit harder because you really can't over-level your opponents. Apparently that's not as hardcore as grinding Pokemon without any attacks that are 10+ levels lower than you.

yeah if there's anything that I'd say is "casualized" it's that you're essentially using mega pikachu and mega eevee without the game ever really telling you. but then again it's not like they were powerhouses to start with or anything

The new system is wild battles minus the battles. It's literally taking away an option and adding more RNG. Time you would have spent battling is now spent throwing balls. Explain how catching 20 Caterpie is somehow better than catching one Caterpie and then getting exp off whatever else you see

Because you don't need to catch those 20 Caterpie. You don't need to catch any of them. You can just walk around them until you find that one Weedle you want, and it'll get trained up from the exp share from all the trainer battles the game has. The RNG is eliminated because rather than running into 20 Caterpie while looking for a Weedle, you can avoid those 20 if you don't care for the exp

You don't seem to understand the exp was a benefit of the wild battles and that you're still relying on RNG to make the pokemon you want appear in the overworld. You're championing the loss of options.

You seem to be unaware of how the new exp share works. Your entire party gains full exp. Plus you get way too much exp as is

I chained 31 Bellsprout to get a 100%, pushing my Eevee to level 14 before I even reached Viridian City. Even if I don't bother catching any more pokemon, I can probably get past Pewter and Cerulean with just him
