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

[JFrombaugh]

I'm wondering when or if we'll be getting a story text dump.

If so, I won't post too many dialogue-related spoilers for you all, but there's two main things I'm curious about:

1. Does Green have any dialogue?
2. Does the old man standing outside the Celadon Gym still say "This Gym is great! It's full of women!" when you talk to him? Or will it get changed to "strong Trainers" again?

ARCHER LOOKS GREAT. Got what I came here for. Not expecting a lot of plot/lore but the vest is certainly quite something

Just quick question how the heck could you defeat the pokemon master for ditto? Struggle? Lol

Some master trainers won’t actually be battles. The Ditto trainer is probably one of them.

And what’s the Moveset for the Master Metapod? I hope all it knows is harden to recreate the anime battle against Samurai.

What when was that ever been revealed?

Re: the timeline.

I do think the fandom puts waaaaaaay more thought into the Pokémon timeline than Game Freak does. Honestly, it’s exhausting continuously running around in circles like this every time a remake with updated mechanics is pushed out. Don’t you guys think so? Near as I’m concerned, the Pokémon time line —as well as which characters are canon or not— may as well be what you, the individual, make of it. That’s it.

Tackle, String Shot and Harden.

And those new fans can even help boost gen8's sales even more than they would've with just us.

They'll boost sales, but I can't imagine that Game Freak see LGPE as a way to prepare new players for traditional games with a lot more Pokemon, moves and features, as well as an outdated capture system. It's a smoother transition compared to Go, but if Game Freak really want to capitalize on LGPE, they need more games following that formula.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

@Unown Seer Just curious, what do you think makes LGPE sell? I'd just like to see why do you think other Let's Go games would be more successful than traditional games.

 

[Silktree]

About the same as the remakes, but it's hard to make a direct comparison since they're 50% more expensive. They could sell 10 million units and still generate more profit than ORAS, to say nothing of the Poke Ball Plus.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

to say nothing of the Poke Ball Plus.

What about it? People wouldn’t end up buying it over and over again, and if they cared enough to buy the Pokeball plus, they’d buy any remake GameFreak puts forth.

I just find your stance that the Let's Go series will continue when the Remakes will sell just as much and Remakes have the added bonus of not upsetting longtime fans.

GameXplain has uploaded an early review of the game to YouTube, for those of you who want to hear some feedback before deciding whether to buy or pass:

So basically, good for newcomers and maybe those who haven't played gen 1, not much to call home about for long time fans. I had a feeling.

I didn't say anything about buying it again, but it will factor into LGPE's sales whether you like it or not. If they wanted, they could create another accessory for a sequel.

Kids are more important than longtime fans who are reaching their expiration point. And this isn't a discussion about whether or not traditional remakes should be eliminated, anyway.

Re: timeline

How would you explain that your Golbat or non-starter Eevee won't evolve even with max friendship?

But maybe we are putting too much thought behind games aimed at 5-year olds.

 

[Knightwolf09]

SO from what I hear, there is no Moon Stone in the game....how do some pokemon evolve then?

 

[jollykecleon]

Aaaaaa I probably am going to have to wait to get these games ;;
