general

see

now I know they're just pandering

The game's a gen 1 remake

I think it's supposed to be pandering

Yeah but damn it

I don't mind pandering when they're pandering to me

Max I know, I want an actual Pokemon game too

The last Pokemon game I liked was ORAS

It's not fair

the last pokemon i liked was the original ruby and sapphire

no Kappa

Black 2 was the last one I really enjoyed playing all the way through, new 3DS ones have been a mixed bag

See

i just hope this game is difficult - S/M was difficult enough. Apparently Let's Go has 'Master Trainers' after the elite 4, 1 master for each type or something

It's

meant for kids

0% chance it's hard

fair point

It's meant for lets go players

0% chance of there being any difficulty

all pokemon games are for kids though, and a lot of them are difficult

Everyone says it's a bridge game But why bank on nostalgia if you're gunning for new Pokemon players

Okay but this one

I actually think this is aimed more at older fans that got back into Pokemon through Pokemon Go

I almost feel like they're trying to see what they can get away with, if old fans will be baited along by nostalgia for this "Pokemon" game

According to everything I've seen, this is a core game, not a spin off

What

they said it was a spinoff

right

nope

it's part of the core series

that's from a review, no?

See

It's three things

Pandering to gen one kids. Pandering to Pokemon Go people. and, maybe those adults who now have kids and want them to experience the joy of Pokemon.

When I see Let's Go, from the catching, and how it looks mostly, it looks like it's really "For Kids"

I feel like they're going to lose the first one though, I have trouble believing people who grew up with Pokemon want to play this

Go is huge though, and I'm sure this will do well

S/M pandered to gen one people with alolan forms

I grew up with pokemon and I want to play this

I grew up with pokemon and I don't want to play this

But is it just because you're starved for a Pokemon game That's the only thing tempting me

true

funny thing is, I never plays US/UM

Sun and moon were horrible for me

played*

I hated them

The hand holding was horrid

I enjoyed the originals, but I never played Ultra

I was going back and forth on getting this (just like Fallout 76) even if it wasn't what I wanted, maybe I'm a consumer whore enough to buy both Ended up buying neither though

I couldn't go on a route for about 5 seconds without the worst rival ever coming up to me and telling me where to go or saying hi

the hand holding made it feel not fun at all

eh, it didnt bother me

I loved the Totems

When I play pokemon it should be my adventure, it always has been. Your rival may help, but it's mostly your adventure.

but in Sun and Moon

every 3 seconds someone shows up to tell you something or do something

Most of the time, It's only for the first hour or so you get hand-held in Moon though, it's the entire game

^

hmm

I'm fine with slow starts, every RPG under the moon usually has one

I actually didnt notice it too much

hmmm

maybe I just enjoyed the new mechanics enough to forget about it

I just hope gen8 is good, and gen4 remake is cool

Mostly I just hope gen4 gets a remake

^

unless remakes are now all "Let's Go"ed

oh god

well

they stop making remakes and just do let's gos

kappa

Let's go Turtwig

If you think back, Gen 1 got a remake in gen 3, so it was due a remake before gen 4

No

This isn't a remake, it's a side game

they can't just remake constantly

they're not just going to make a HGSS remake
