Put EEVEE on HEAD.

After weeks of rumors and speculation, GameFreak have pulled the cover on the first full Pokémon RPG for the Switch.
Pokémon Let's Go! will release for Switch on November 16 in two versions, starring Pikachu and Eevee. The game will feature split Joy-Con co-op play, as well as online interactions.
Let's Go! reimagines the 1998-99 release of Pokémon Yellow, with a choice of Pikachu or Eevee as a starting Pokémon. The starter will always be with you, but does not necessarily have to be on the battling team. Unlike previous Pokémon titles, the storage system will always be accessible. Only the original 151 Pokémon will be in the game, but variations will be present such as Alola forms and Mega Evolutions.
Pokémon Go will also heavily integrate into Let's Go, as Pokémon caught in Go can be transferred to the Switch game through a version of the Safari Zone. A controller shaped like a Poké Ball and called Poké Ball Plus can also be used, either to give Pokémon experience while walking, or as a controller for Let's Go for the sequences which include Go-style Poké Ball throwing.
Pokémon Let's Go will have Pokémon following the trainer, and the trainer will ride the Pokémon in certain situations such as riding on Lapras when Surfing. HM moves will not take up move slots.
The Pokémon Company have confirmed that these games are part of the 7th generation of Pokémon that began with Sun and Moon in 2016: the 8th generation will begin in the second half of 2019 on Switch.
In a Q&A following the announcement, it was confirmed that the new games would not have traditional wild Pokémon battles.
In a Q&A following the announcement, it was confirmed that the new games would not use Nintendo Online nor have traditional wild Pokémon battles.As someone who hasn’t played a Pokémon game since Blue, the rumors piqued my interest as a means to get back into the franchise. What better game to do so than an update to one of the first generation games?
I'm tired of half measures & partially-developed Pokemon console games. This reeks of the same design philosophy as that GameCube Gale of Darkness game. "You can battle your Pokemon in full 3D against other trainers...but you can't battle/catch Wild Pokemon and you can only 'befriend' existing trainers' Pokemon."QuoteIn a Q&A following the announcement, it was confirmed that the new games would not use Nintendo Online nor have traditional wild Pokémon battles.As someone who hasn’t played a Pokémon game since Blue, the rumors piqued my interest as a means to get back into the franchise.

I wouldn’t call it half-assed. Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee just isn’t really what I was looking for. No traditional wild Pokémon battles? I’m still unclear on a lot of things.
I never played Pokémon Go. I didn’t have anything against it. I liked that it got people moving. Just not my scene.
Whew, divisive comment thread.How many posts did you read before labeling them divisive? Most in this thread seem neutral to positive.

I can see if you die-hards are disappointed the mainline series isn't coming til next year, but please try not to hate just because it exists.

Now, you're being divisive!
Fair enough, wrong of me to paint it as antagonistic. But pretty presumptuous of you to suggest I didn't read any of the comments in the thread.I asked you a question about how many posts you read. That’s like the opposite of suggesting you didn’t read any.

Man, this new Pokemon game is.... oh, I see we've stopped talking about that now and gone into weird conversation territory. Alright. I can adjust. Hmmmmmm.
Oh yeah? Well, how many posts did you not read to not realize this thread was divisive? (There. That should work.)
When I read the sentence "How many posts did you read before labeling them divisive?", the implication I read into that sentence is "did you read hardly anything before making your comment?". I'm usually pretty good at reading comprehension, although I admit it's not always as easy to recognize tone, subtext, etc in an online setting.I meant if you skimmed through the posts, you may get the impression that people are down on Let’s Go. However, they seemed mostly neutral to positive. Granted, I’ll probably pass, but I’m not against the game.
This is a silly thing to have a back-and-forth on either way. It wasn't my intention to debate my incorrect usage of one word and then devolve into a weird side discussion on it.Welcome to NWR.
