Tfw Let's Go innovated more than Gen 8

I hate all the starters what are u taking about Where is Mupkid reincarnate

>All three starters are likeable characters, most people seem to know which they're going with
The starters are awful, but I wasn't really expecting them to be good. Gen 1 is the only Gen where all 3 starters are likeable.

Don't be ridiculous, the graphics are leaps and bounds above those of Let's Go. The environments and characters are much more complex and detailed, there are actual textures and the camera is way more dynamic.

Its gonna be great.

i thought he was a newt, but looking at the hands its obvious now. howd they fuck the eyes so bad.

Omg, green chimchar, wide eyed mudkip, and off colored plusle, best starters ever

Not buying this trash unless it ends up being the hardest pokemon game ever. Which it won't be so fuick it.

Random encounters are a good thing. It isn't the best for every type of game but it is perfect for Pokemon. The framerate still has time to improve, the game won't come out until November or December, but of course this is GameFreak so you can't exactly count on it.

bruh. look at this dude.

I'm fine with no overworld pokemon if they have a system for finding the mon you actually want to find.
Rolling dice until you get the result you want isn't skillful or fun.
Also I know this isn't gonna happen, but replacing RNG catching with some kind of minigame would be a huge improvement.
Like the harder to catch the Pokemon is, the harder the minigame will be. Weakening/Status effecting the minigame somehow. I'm just sick of how many just roll the die until it works shit these games have.

>Random encounters are a good thing. It isn't the best for every type of game but it is perfect for Pokemon.
Why?

no random encounters? you can't be serious. I didn't watch the trailers or look deeply into the reveal but keep that bull shit in the lets go spin offs, not main line. such a new shitty norm

On top of having shit taste, you can't read.

because pokemon is an rpg, which requires multitudes of battles historically. Random battles pace these battles at a set rate without the player feeling obligated to seek them out. If all battles were manual youd resent having to manually trigger them as you sit there evaluating each fight you see.
It puts an additional pressure on your resources, Pokemon health, PP for moves, and items all require management and risk evaluation before pushing through an area where you could have more or fewer encounters than expected.

YEA BUT WILL THERE BE COUCH CO-OP AGAIN

>no overworld Pokémon, random encounters

the way in which this sentence is constructed is ambiguous at best. comma splicing is never the move.

Yeah I'm gunna have to agree with this. I don't really see any that I'm wanting to use. Might be the first starter I release.

>Random encounters are a good thing. It isn't the best for every type of game but it is perfect for Pokemon.
I sure love spending 30 minutes walking through the same patch of grass, sitting through the same battle transition and grass cutscene, until the pokemon with a 1% encounter rate decides to show up.

There's no reason to innovate if the new thing is worse than the old.

>No overworld pokemon, random encounters
Good, fuck the way it's done in Go. Try and remember going through Mt. Moon as a kid and how hard it could actually be if you didn't catch the right things first. Now imagine it just running past everything you know you don't have a super effective move for. I wouldn't be against them adding swarms or radar or something like that again but fuck EVERYTHING being shown.

Releasing your starter and mystery trading your team is the true way to play the games to be honest.

>4 rattata team

If the battles are fun then I'd have no problem taking a minor detour to engage in one.
>It puts an additional pressure on your resources, Pokemon health, PP for moves, and items all require management and risk evaluation before pushing through an area where you could have more or fewer encounters than expected.
I think you might be overestimating the amount of pressure basic resource management puts on the player considering you can just run away without much trouble.
The only jrpg series that I can think of right now where random encounters put pressure on the player are Etrian Odyssey and SMT and that's because enemies are actual threats in those games.

Overcome the challenge user. It's a lot better after 2/3 weeks you can end up with some interesting stuff people have been breeding and thrown the rest onto mystery trade.

this user raises an additional point
choosing to just avoid fights that dont suit you removes a huge factor of the design of pokemon, some type combinations will just outclass you. If you could just walk around them every player will.

>not editing Torchic's head on top

There'd be no point having aggro if they don't move faster than you. Just look at something like Persona (I assume this is kind of what you mean), you can just circle round everything. And in that case you may as well make it random.

That fire starter is fucking gross
Get that divegrass shit out of my fucking face

It's almost like any regular old jrpg solved this issue fifteen years ago.

Sorry guys, but Grookey's mouth looks like a beak and at first glance I couldn't understand what Sobble was supposed to mean.

I mean, Scorbunny has the type of eyes you see in a LOT of Pokèmon. That was hella recognizable.

This man. In sun and moon i just put my pokemon in the box and used other pokemons.

Apart from the bunny, those are some dope ass evo's.

The primary reason I'm okay with them removing visible overworld encounters is because the way it was done in Let's Go was lifeless as fuck. With random encounters there's a level of abstraction in play when it comes to encountering a pokemon, but all the pokemon in LGPE just wandering around absolutely braindead like props looked incredibly fake. If they want to have pokemon visible, they need to fit into their environment to some extent, and I don't trust Gamefreak to ever have that kind of competence, so I'd prefer they just stick with random encounters because there isn't really anything wrong with them.

the bottom looks nicer though. Less jaggies.

This nigga would rather be stuck in the 90s than live in the days of modern RPG design. Go kill your self

random encounters are good though otherwise you can just run past everything like in DQXI

Am I disappointed? Yes. But I'm still thinking about getting it. Normally I'm trying to go for quality over quantity, but let's face it, Pokemon is never gonna get any better.

Imagine if you did a mix of both.

ORAS did that.

Even if it was competent, it would be so scripted the illusion of them being anything other than props would fall off pretty quick. Thinking of something like Pokemon Snap, it looks cool the first time or two but after that you know what to expect.

Is this game still using the lets go catching mechanism?

If so, not buying it.

Is this the first evolution? Do we know what the second one looks like?

No. The first things they did in the trailer were show a trainer randomly encounter a pokemon in tall grass, throw out their own pokemon to battle the wild one, and catch it like in a normal game. I think they know that a large number of people hate the Let's Go system.

That's speculative fanart, we won't be seeing evolutions (officially) for a few months.

Ohmori is directing again so it's going to be piss easy, linear and handholdy as fuck with minimal post game content

I guess difficulty settings and an option to skip tutorials is too much?

very original

It's going to be an Incineroar situation where it's got a fire/fighting design but the secondary typing is something else

Incineroar only became a wrestler on his last Evo, the two prior didn't even foreshadow that part (hence why so many are pissed at it), and he is a cocky heel so being /Dark makes sense. That Ape starter and Torchic got fighter features in their first Evo, and this one has the band-aid/clip on nose thingy going on, which means he is athletic.

Fire/Fighter.

Flying.

Only in the localization.

For the scale of this game I agree, but preferably it would be large scale enough to make overworld Pokemon look natural

Why flying?

Sky high jumps.
I guess?

are mega evolutions still a thing in the series? those were kinda weird

I just spent like an hour making this image so I'll post it here.

The real best starters are gen 2 anyway. I love the dinosaur, dinosaur and dinosaur.

The camera is still fixed and yet they didn't even make sure the billboarded grass textures were at a good angle.
That's a rookie move I'd expect from an indie dev.

they solved it like 30 years ago by using random encounters. Tales style world map encounters is just a different style, not a superior one. EO still has the best random encounter system though.

It's football based.

We better not have a fixed fucking camera

All it takes is a walking animation which all old mons already have.
It's not even a matter of whether it's possible but whether they use the existing assets to implement a highly requested feature.

>otter = dinosaur
nigga wut

The walking and running cycle animations already exist for ALL Pokémon up to gen 7, user.
Every single one.
LGPE has the functionality of Pokémon following you built in. All it takes is literally copy/paste the code and make animations for the ~60 new pokemon this gen'll undoubtedly have..

I'm half convinced GameFreaks is running bitcoin miners in the background of their games. How else can they look like PS2 games yet cripple whatever hardware they are on?

Just wait for Super Sword and Super Shield.

Sorry little dude, but music monkey is gonna be my pick. But hey, that means my rival will pick you

At this point I just feel bad for the Pokémon designers. It must be absolute hell trying to come up with new ideas for Pokémon and to keep them coming out every couple years. We’re at what, close to or past a thousand now?

It's too early senpai. Wait for E3 to pass judgement, then you can see if the game still runs like shit during the treehouse presentation.

Bottom genuinely looks better.
It's crisp, top is jagged and scuffed

Kalos was definitely more boring than this region

I’m definitely getting it. I had this thought that with it being UK based the gym system, will be replaced with a World Cup or Euro League system. Basically you’ll have 8 qualifying matches in different towns while on your journey. The elite 4 will be replaced with the actual tournament and the winner of the tourney faces the champion. Would be a cool idea I think. Seems likely since they did away with gyms in Sun & Moon.

Gyms are confirmed, though.

These are fuckin great

this is the most retarded post I've ever seen in my entire 27 years of living

Mega Evolutions still exist and are fully supported in more recent games. Let's Go even had them despite being back-to-basics in most other mechanical ways. However new Mega-Evolutions have not been added outside of Generation 6.

Some people assume the concept has been dropped and is only being supported out of necessity because they don't want to drop mechanics or forms.

Worth adding, Game Freak seemed to actively go out of their way to give the Megas oddly edgy and dark Pokedex entries in Gen 7 that actively went against the original lore of the mechanic. Mega Evolution was originally supposed to be a supercharge of energy brought on by the bond between trainer and Pokemon, but various Pokedex entries in Gen 7 for the megas essentially make it out to be that the Pokemons bodies or even minds are straight fucked up by a raw surge of energy going through their body.

Gengar goes from prankster to a mindless killer that doesn't understand partnership, Alakazam gets muscle atrophy because all of its power goes to its mind, Aerodactyl is said to be an extreme pain from the rock spikes its body grows, Garchomps literally have their arms melt and they get angry due to the pain, and Kangaskhan causes the child to be able to fight, but since all it does is fight, the "mother becomes uneasy about its future".

Yes, really.

>Now imagine it just running past everything you know you don't have a super effective move for.
Did you think about this even a little bit before you typed it out? They could just do like in Earthbound. You know, that game developed by Ape inc, which is now Creatures inc. You can't just easily avoid everything in that game.

>Pokemon either run straight towards you at speeds you can't hope to avoid
>Or they flee from you equally quickly when you want to catch them
No fucking thanks

And? If a player wants to run past everything they should be able to. The only difference having random encounters does is force the player to waste about 15 seconds every 10 steps to run from battles. Either that or buy an item.

It's garbage padding.

And they can. Routes in Gen 7 almost never had tall grass in their main path and in caves you can just pop these.

Well, there goes my bright idea

Yes, I'm sure using systems from the last century is a good idea.

It still bothers me that nidoran and nidorino male and female are considered separate species

Of course it did, the whole point of Go was to innovate and they HAD to promise to make the next "real entry" as safe as possible to placate people freaking over it, the actual test will be if this does better or worse, if it does worse Go gonna be the future.

I'm really sad there don't appear to be following Pokemon at this time. I really hope they reveal that later.

Zelda Cycle is real

There's a couple of things from Let's Go that I wish got ported over. Like following and ridable Pokemon, and having them appear in the overworld instead of randomly.

Even then, this is roughly what I expected.

>British "sports"

Oh fuck no I'd rather watch American women sports than that shit.

a pokemon getting older is a separate species too

But the only "innovation" Go had was the overworld Pokemon. Everything else was shitty mobile mechanics like candies and waggle catching.
