SwSh Connectivity with Let's Go

[Battista]

I checked the thread titles to make sure I wasn't being redundant, and the only one related to Let's Go revolves around carryover features so I think I'm good in posting this.

I picked up Let's Go Pikachu soon after the Sword and Shield announcement to keep on the hype train (and because it was cheaper pre-owned) and I've grown attached to a lot of my new teammates in that game. I'm really hoping they can be transferred over to Sword and Shield via Pokebank, and I expect them to make it work since just about all the data is already there, including abilities buried in the game's code.

I do wonder about things like the candy boosts, though - my guess is it will be similar to the Virtual Console games where EVs get a clean slate but I could be wrong.

Since SS were in development since before Let's Go, and they didn’t know how would Let's Go Be received, I think SS'll be devoid of Let's Go features, while the most wanted ones are incorporated into the next main series games.

Actually there was another thread for features; I’m talking more about transferring Pokémon from Let’s Go to Sword and Shield.

They’ve got to get the Meltan line over somehow, plus it would be an easy way to import Alolan forms without having a convoluted method of evolving them that way in the Galar region.

It's easier than Virtual Console compatibility. One solution is to reset AVs to 0 and, if Game Freak are nice, convert them back to candies.

It would be great to be able to trade with Let's Go.

I think that Go connectivity has a high chance of happening, seeing how they wanted to implement it since SM.

Didn't they mention it might be one time thing only though?

As for SM, Game Freak did plan to connect GO to SM, but due to connectivity problems, this was scrapped.

Let's Go is a gen VII game so, I see one way transfer to bank, and not much else.

Other than allowing pokemon transfer through Pokemon Bank, I don't see how they'd be connected.
