It’s a virtual Pokémon Go in Kanto. Which is neat but not an actual Pokémon game for me to obsess about which is good for me since I have other poo poo I want to play in 2018. The buried lede in this is that this is basically them introducing Pokémon trainer battles for Pokémon Go since it appears to be essentially the same mechanics for everything else.

Well poo poo, guess I might have been wrong about Go getting all up in this new game. If you really have to catch duplicates and render them down to poke-soylent to level then yeah, that's pretty weak. I hope there's some clarification at e3. It's not like there's any shortage of games to look forward to anyway.

to the people who have played atelier in this thread on handheld mode: does it look and run horribly to you too? I cannot tell if something is wrong with my switch or if it seriously looks/runs this bad. It looks like a janky as gently caress PS2 game. I'm normally not someone who cares about how good a game looks or runs as long as it is playable but this is really, really bad. Guess I'll save it for docked-only because the game itself is a ton of fun.

lelandjs posted:I really don’t get why the internet is flipping over tables about LGP/E, has everyone forgotten that Gamefreak does simpler, kid-friendly spinoff games? Was everyone getting this pissed off about frigging Pokémon Rumble? Last E3 they mentioned they were working on a core game for the switch (which, they are to be fair). They then hyped up a big announcement for a switch game and people were like oh poo poo this is the core game they were talking about. When it's just a ugly remake of Kanto (which most people who stuck with the series are absolutely loving sick of) and the complete removal of 80% of the games features it's pretty understandable that the reaction is negative from most online outlets. For people who ducked out of the series just as a fill in- last handful of gens have all pandered to kanto in some way shape or form. It gets name dropped all the time, all the characters in the games talk about how great it is, you're often given the kanto starters to replace your original starters. There's a lot of fanfare for it and people have been begging Gamefreak to move on and let it go as it's *always* Kanto.

Googling Pokemon Quest made me stumble upon "Pokémon Conquest, known in Japan as Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition" Now this game would be perfect for the Switch

Did people really believe that they were going to move from Gen 7 to Gen 8 in the span of only two years? They've never done that before, it's always been at least 3 between generations. Especially since they probably had to rebuild their whole 3D engine to work on a new console with new architecture. I'll be honest, it's surprising to me given the circumstances that we're even getting a semi-mainline game this year on Switch at all.

I'm on the fence about Let's Go until I see some extended gameplay, but they are working on a real gen 8 game so I can't be anything but a bit disappointed. Also I don't mind Kanto, it's just that there's so much else and it is kind of played out.

Nah, probably skipping it and I'm stupidly ride or die for Pokemon poo poo. Go was my previous breaking point where I realized it was okay to just not play spinoffs that suck and this looks like reheated Go on switch. Also 151 is the fuckin worst. Even Go isn't limited to that poo poo any more.

I’m gonna buy both probably. I could never stand to play long games on the DS/3DS so maybe I’ll enjoy the next core game too.

Personally I'm happy about it. I'm not super into Go but my boyfriend is, it's his favorite game, he drives around going to raids and hitting Pokestops all the time and is always bugging me to start some quest to catch Mew or whatever. Every other word out of his mouth is some update or other on the game (Niantic is going to add this shiny next, the next Community Day is going to be this, blah blah blah, etc) and I couldn't care less but it makes him happy and we have fun sometimes going for walks in the park catching Pokemon. So he's going to flip over this, so I'm happy. Also I think it's great that you can dress up Eevee!  So I'm going to buy him a copy of Let's Go Pikachu and a Switch for Christmas (he doesn't have a Switch yet) and I'll take Let's Go Eevee, and I'll buy both of us a Pokeball thing, and we'll be set!

Since this is the nintendo thread, I have a 30% off birthday discount to use and I'm thinking either Samus Returns or FE Echoes The strike against Echoes is that I still haven't played Fates and I own that... so I should probably play that first I hear people poo poo on Samus Returns but I bet it's alright

It’s only like that for maybe the first 4th of the game. After that it’s pretty much only a thing to do on bosses.
