Board 8 > Nanis Playthrough of Pokemon Let's Go Eevee - with pictures!

(+) Yeah! (+)

(Apologizing in advance for the two phone-quality photos, they were before I learned how to take screenshots. The rest are going to be direct screenshots from the Switch)
Will contain spoilers obviously


I usually prefer to give them default names, but turns out it's not possible in this game, so Jerk it is!


You know what would be pretty sweet? if the state of the Switch there changes whenever you change from a handheld mode to docked. Of course the change is instant, so it would have to apply when you quit and enter the room again. Missed opportunity!


Yesssss Nidorino vs Gengar throwback!


Ohh I missed you my friend


I don't care what people say about the graphics, they look great. Look at how detailed the stuff there are
---

What the fuck is this shit? I want a refund


Hmm I can't notice any new area. Oh well


Well OK then, I will leave you two alone


Uhhh...what? really? I actually went ahead and calculated how much time this can save you
Thirty-fucking-seconds. Why? besides, going back to Pallet and taking advantage of the ledges is a memoreable experience

30 seconds? Maybe PLGE won't a bad speedgame after. Well it is still bad, but it is supposedly the hardest Kanto run.

Hey! Eevee is now riding on my head! I wish there was a way to turn it off though, I prefered interacting with it in the overworld. But I guess I will take another Pokemon from the Pokeball then


She is called NotDaisy


Wwwwwwhaaaaaaaat? this is huge!! say what you want about those games, but if I read correctly, they FINALLY ADDED THE OPTION TO SKIP CUTSCENES. Would have been a godsend for Sun and Moon. Just don't remove this feature next games..


And this is my Eevee's HP after taking a Thunder Shock to the face. It makes no sense, does the starter have buffed stats? only 3 damage is far too low


Name Rater I like you and all but this is much better


They changed the location of the Gym slightly..you no longer in danger of falling from a ledge
---

Oh...Double Kick? goes Brock is going to be a bigger pushover than expected


Is it really? I can pass it blind


So instead of making new Pokedex entries they recycled those from Yellow? ok then


I am not overleveled at all (Not cynical, I didn't even grind. They are just fucking underleveled)


Oh? interesting. Wonder why they ditched the way Yellow gave you the starters. I think they want everything to be available in the wild instead?


That's what she said


So much for being the other version mascot...
---

Framedrops in Viridian Forest, at least on handheld mode
This...is not good..
---

man this game looks so good visually

also I didn't know you could have a second pokemon follow you around too
---

Tag.
I love you sharing things different to the base game, thanks for that.
---

this is perfect for sating my curiosity thanks
---

Perfect place to put a NPC that explains what Lure does, next to the Repel guy

Nope, you can't sit on benches this time around either

People thought this part was dumb, but I dunno, I liked those short events that introduced in SM/USUM. They were better than this one, but i'm still just in the beginning

Audience at the gym! cool (I guess it was revealed in a trailer though)

You would think that this guy drags you to Brock Gym, alongside this music, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15GThlMSKnk&list=PLA26855F88564F001&index=13
WRONG. You are just teleported to the gym. Pretty lame to be honest
---

I like the overworld graphics. The battles..not so much. But only because the backgrounds are very very basic. Otherwise...Onix model is perfect and the size difference is just right. I am glad they are going in this route again, Gen 7 Wailord was dumb


Yay me


Oh hello there, Gary ******* Oak!


Pewter Gym


I know it's like this ever since FRLG but it's still sad to see. RIP Columbia crew
---

Jigglypuff singing again. Eevee shows ZZzz bubbles after it but his eyes remain open

New thing, called Coach Trainers. They are just like Ace Trainers from older games but with a new name

Oh. When was the last time we saw Ekans looking like this? he is always curly

Hello there, meme guy

No price is outrageous for a Magikarp!
---

Team Rocket Meowth sleeping on the job. Anime Meowth would never do that!


Team Rocket has a nice intro before you fight them


First evolution


And this is how i'm going to play for the rest of the game! (j/k I switched him out after 2 minutes because it's annoying)



---

Don't cry, Nerd. I will share


To be honest the only reason I took Kabuto is because I have a extra Omanyte on Pokemon Go. Otherwise, it's Praise the Helix Fossil for me


So Double Battles are in this game then? well, at least that


Don't tease me. I like the Acro Bike. Make them return


At first I thought "wait what is this dumb trade" but turns out this is how you get Alolan forms


The whip I understand, but wtf is the deal with the candy
---

You train animals with treats, so I guess it still works.
---

I don't like limiting myself in games. Could never understand those "3 hearts run" in Zelda. But for Pokemon I do limit myself because they are too easy, but this is the worst yet - this move is insane, getting this and the other 2 moves so early will make this already easy game even easier, no thank you

Hey look, Officer Jenny has her anime look!

Something tells me that letting Onix out of the Pokeball in the house is not really a good idea

Oh, so they do give them out normally, but I also assume they can be found in the wild? (if Bulbasaur is, makes no sense to limit the other 2)

So first he was a Kabuto, then a Clefairy, and now Nidorino? ok

Is this..an actual cutscene? I don't think it's the first time in the series as I am sure Gen 7 had them too, but still cool to see

Bill notes are about Articuno Zapdos and Moltres now, instead of the Eeveelutions
---

Did they change the graphics for some of the moves or Seismic Toss is one of the very few? the Earth looks good and detailed

Another badge. Misty's Gym is probably the prettiest place in the game. That Mural behind her is amazing

That Raticate messed up this house uh

The Pokemon Takers house is no longer behind a ledge

A Ditto plush in a daycenter...hm..

Usually when they do something like this, it means a double battle. But not this time for some reason??
---

I recall the screen used to shake when talking to Machop. Nothing like that here, but maybe it does in docked mode and joycon vibrate? (no idea if Handheld mode can vibrate at all..)

My favorite Rapidash..it's cute..and strong..and...

Dux! probably the only in-game trade nickname I will never forget! (and Lola Jynx I guess)

Hello there big guy

You know, with all the advanced techonlogy, they could actually let us use the binoculars and see Snorlax from another angle, but nope
---

Oh wow the Cerulean gym is beautiful.
---

That Bouncy Bubble move is ridiculous...

Also, shout-out to Ch'ding.
---

So this game doesn't has normal battles?
---

Safer_777 posted...

It does
No wild battles but regular battles against normal trainers is the same

Just...simplified. like, no abilities and held items
(At least I can Headbutt Pikachu freely and not worry about Static)
---

I've heard a lot of negativity about this game but it looks enjoyable.

Difficulty looks zzz though, lol bouncy bubble.
---

Hello again, Blue! Bonjour!

You know I don't understand this. The timeline is messed up. It's supposed to be in the future yet everything is actually in the past. I hate this multiple timelines thing, worst thing Zinnia ever did

Talking to a Pokemon you don't have in the Pokedex doesn't add it to the Pokedex, like Wigglytuff here. It's dumb, but it's always been this way. I just feels it's weirder now because you actually see the Pokemon full model

Looker theory DEBUNKED! well it can still be him in disguise, but still

For some reason I always remember this Great Ball being here. Why did they change it, no idea

There is something very distrubting about this. Would have been even worse if I played as a girl!
---

He doesn't show you the Pokedex entry for Snorlax. I know it's minor but I always like to notice the little things...and I hate how they didn't include it


Veeeeeeeeeeeee


Farwell, S.S Anne! See you again in Let's Go Espeon and Let's Go Umbreon


Ohhh Mina what are you doing here? and she looks younger, too


Another badge down


What the fuck do I need this for
---

I always like how Diglett Cave was exclusive to just Diglett and Dugtrio (ignoring Sinnoh Sound). Why add Zubat, no idea


Whooooooa..


The return of the "The Ledge". Guess TPP will have a easier time this time around


Oh no I am in trouble


Lorelei to the rescue!


Are Poke Maniacs the Tingle of Pokemon?



---

I do have to say I'm laughing at how Magikarp is always just on it's side basically dead following you a little to much.
---

Hahaha yes this is why I had it following me, I loved seeing it splashing around trying to catch up
Too bad it's now a Gyarados
---

What is your team like right now, anyways?

Just Eevee
It's super boring but I really don't see a reason to use anything else
I just rotate the party between Pokemon that evolve early for dex completion (no way to turn off Exp Share)
---

Mr Fuji home, notice the drawings


The Name Rater. He is out of job currently


Pokemon Tower. Now with fog and creepy ghosts


Damn, I miss Hex Maniacs


The porified space. I remember using this spot a lot to grind. Not much of a reason to do it now


This is one huge ghost
---

As if the game wasn't easy enough..now Eevee really likes me. I didn't bother with Pokemon Amie in the past but it seems unavoidable here


Those flowers actually move when you touch them


This is where Eevee Pokeball used to be in RB


Much less than the 100 we used to have, but it's understandable


Gamefreak HQ. Clefairy Doll, Pokemon Red and Green and Pikachu Sprite from Yellow


In-Game trade for Alolan Vulpix. This is my new main, sorry Eevee but this is one of my favorites
---

Snorlax now blocks the access to the Fly House. It didn't use to be that way


Pokemon Quest reference..?


Oh yeah, I forgot to try..


Whelp


Nice stores


Hm...


Couldn't resist!
---

The girl that gives you TMs when you give her drinks is back


Those damn puns


!!!!


This is the Celadon Hotel. I keep pressing the A button, trying to activate the hidden PC!


Didn't expect otherwise
---

Celadon Gym looking good too. Not like Cerulean, but still good


I actually wanted to show her the ugliest Pokemon I have in my party. It didn't work. She thought Psyduck was cute


Another badge down


I wondered where he was. Also, Team Rocket in the background and Meowth sleeping


Pokken Reference and Pikachu Libre
---

this just seems so silly but i love it.
---

Team Rocket Hideout puzzle, it's been awhile


I am glad that they did that. Instead of handing the key like always they actually added a new scene that made you make us of your partner. They should have done it more often...


Game Freak - teaching kids that it's ok to use a wheeled chair as a step since 2018


First time controlling a Pokemon in a main game? maybe, I don't remember


Ohhh, Team Rocket Admins are here? yes!


!!


It never bothered me so much that we can't sit on stuff anymore until this part, damn it Gamefreak


Fly GET
---

This scene was 10/10. Using Cubone cry as a literal cry was emotional. Probably the best thing to come out of Let's Go


Hiya, Mr Fuji



I AM NOT FOOD


Inventory screenshot after getting the Poke Flute. Can't be used in battle



Finally got enough Pokemon to get Squirtle and Charmander, so a little backtracking with the new fly move to get them


And I actually went back to take this photo because I forgot. The neat thing about this girl is that in RB she mentioned wanting a Pikachu. They changed it to fit Eevee version (and I assume kept it the same for Pikachu version)
---

Back to Fly House. Turns out it still gives out Fly..just as a TM


And of course, Mr Psychic house, because it's a tradition at this point


Fighting at the dojo...this is the background. What the fuck is this shit? why they used the "default no background" for it? I know it's just 5 trainers but come on, put some effort


Mimic House


And the Dodou is as weird as always


Picked Hitmonlee for no reason, I have no idea who to choose


Yeah, take this garbage off my hands and give me a reward instead! wait, why don't you take it...


WWWWhaaaaaaaat so early?


Cycling Road was replaced with a "Pokemon Road" or whatever it's called. Trainers with their Pokemon out of the balls standing besides them


Finally a Eevee that can evolve


I do throw the game beause weekend is over and it's time to go to sleep and continue tomorrow after work
Oh well
---

Thanks for showing me these pictures, its better than actually playing the game, and only slightly more difficult! Let me know if giovanni actually disbands team rocket at the end, that's the dumbest thing game freak has been trying to retcon
---

Eh, neat. The intro screen is actually YOUR Eevee


My, that's racist


Once again, I don't understand this game's timeline


"Riding" on Snorlax


So this is the Shiny Hunting method for this game. Since we don't even know if this game will have Pokebank support...I don't think I will bother


So this is why the warden has no teeth


Diglett hidden behind the Strength stone
---

Surf get!


Sorry Lord Helix, maybe next time


Wish I had so many Shiny Pikachu to send to Let's Go


Koga Gym


This is the worst fight in the game for sure. A Muk with Minimize, Toxic, Protect and Moonblast. God, fuck you


Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!


Finally done. I hated this gym. Too much Toxic, to much Protect, to much Glare. Fuck this shit forever
---

I'm pretty sure Snorlax blocked access to Cycling Road as well back in Gen 1.

Also, I think it's really silly how Nintendo is so "uguu, can't corrupt the kids with BIKERS!"

It did, but it didn't block the access to the Fly House

There are actually 4 bikers in Cycling Road now (Pokemon Road, sorry)

Thats just spin. Just like when they said they removed the Battle Frontier because of wanting to stay honest to Ruby and Sapphire.

Just wanted to say something very shocking

I feel like the difficulty is just right
BUT! this is only if you follow some rules-

1.Ditch the starter. Eevee is super broken. I don't know if starter Eevee is different from a regular one but it sure feels like that. He is like Lillipup in early BW with post-buff Tackle being 50 BP with STAB, wrecking shit apart in the early game
But unlike Lillipup, Eevee is broken for thr whole game. You get Headbutt early. What you shouldn't headbutt, you Double Kick. And what yoi can't do either, you Bite

2.Avoid the starter special moves. This is an extension of 1 so if you avoid using Eevee you can avoid this. But this one is even worse. 90 BP moves from every element with 100% ACC and extra effect. Plus you change them at will to fit your need. Avoid at all costs

3.The Pokemon Amie bonuses. I Don't know if they are avoidable, tbh. I think you get them from friendship
They are broken, evading attacks at random, holding to 1hp, healing status...

4.Do not grind. At all.
I know it sounds like a tip for every easy RPG but it's a very important rule here
Battles barely give exp...but catching gives bazillion of exp. You can level up 5 minutes above the average in just 10 minutes, it's vrazy
Only catch what you don't have in the dex

Follow those points (and tell me if there is a way to avoid rule 3) and you will have a fair challenge

No update today as I did the east side of Fuchsia and there is nothing to mention about that
I really tried to think of something to point out, but nope, nothing.

Bump
Tomorrow I will finally have time to play for 10 hours or something and finish this
