Spoilers Official Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee Discussion Thread

[GiraFragMich]

I wonder how this game will connect with the 2019 game.

I think they won't be able to communicate directly with each other. Maybe through Bank.

I wonder if the game will be able to accomidate the rest of the Pokemon in post game or through updates. Pokemon Quest definitely is. There are placeholders for 808 Pokemon.

I imagine it'll be a similar story to Quest. I also find it extremely hard to believe that Pokemon from 152+ won't be in the game's code, we just might not be able to access them. All the Kanto and Johto Pokemon were in RS, for example, despite not being available unless they were native to the Hoenn Dex, despite being series "reboots", and with no way to get them, but that's because you could get them in later years with FRLG, Colosseum, etc.

I wonder what places will be explorable in this game. Kanto, obviously, but I do wonder if Johto and or the Sevii Islands will be included.

CoroCoro's cover hasn't leaked yet, huh? Expecting CC news tomorrow or Wednesday.

GF has already confirmed that neither Johto or Sevii will be in this game.

 

[GiraFragMich]

I really hope they didn't get rid of the physical/special split.

Aww well that's unfortunate.

I wonder what they have left to showcase then? New gym leaders and the one new Pokemon? Haha

 

[KiranTheWitch]

I really hope they didn't get rid of the physical/special split.

Why would they do that?

 

[Team Gaara]

Yeah, I don't see any reason they'd get rid of the split~

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Specially since it’s more convenient for 'casuals' than remembering the physical/special alignment of the type as a whole.
The current physical/special split is much more convenient to remember. I don’t have to reference a type chart to know that Fire Punch is a physical attack and flamethrower is special.

Good luck convincing a 'casual' that thunder punch is supposed to be a special attack if it happens

Are abilities confirmed to not be in the game?

 

[Extroth]

Well with E3 today I suspect we'll have learned something new about these games...even if it's just second hand stuff from people who played the demo.

 

[KiranTheWitch]

What time does E3 begin?

 

[Kallyle]

The livestream apparently starts at 9:00 AM Pacific and 12:00 PM Eastern.

 

[nickdt]

If you buy Pokeball Plus, you get Mew. So i guess that is the only way too obtain it.

Is that all the new info we have for today?

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

So, Mew confirmed to be locked behind a $50 paywall. (Pokeball plus exclusive).

 

[Kallyle]

So, Mew confirmed to be locked behind a $50 paywall. (Pokeball plus exclusive).

It’s more like “Buy this item, and we’ll throw in Mew as a bonus!” Not that it technically makes a difference since you still have to pay money before unlocking it. I’d much rather have Mew be put behind the truck though. Maybe that’ll be reserved for the new Pokémon instead?

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

It’s more like “Buy this item, and we’ll throw in Mew as a bonus!”

It would seem like the case if it hadn’t been the only way to obtain Mew.

 

[King Robert]

I was planning to get the Poké Ball Plus even before hearing of Mew. So...bonus?~

 

[Kallyle]

It would seem like the case if it hadn’t been the only way to obtain Mew.

Like I said, not that it makes much of a difference.

Honestly, this game is starting to seem more and more like a cheap cash-grab to drag in the Pokémon Go players. Can’t Game Freak give us something more positive about this game for E3?
