Well now that the forum is loading for me again-- I actually find myself weirdly happy and enthused about LGPE. Confused, too, because it's like they tried to mash a bunch of stuff together, but... it's a core series game for Go players, practically Baby's First Pokemon Game. It's all kinds of weird, but if Gen 8 next year isn't heavily influenced by it, then it's all good.
Best part? I still don't need to run out and buy a Switch anytime soon.
This crazy hybrid does explain why the announcement schedule seemed off compared to past announcements, though.
Excited by those walking pokemon and possibly improved pokeride system there, that's probably the most reason I have to actually be interested in these games because that's something off my wishlist is a pokeride system that lets you ride any of your own pokemon.
Buuuut with that said... guess I can walk away now, seeing as there's nothing really worth following the rumor trail until next year. Interested in whatever that new pokemon is, but we're just gonna see a bunch more fake mythical, Gorochu and eeveelution leaks for that.
