the names are dumb but there's a line between "these names are dumb" and "the CRINGE names of this game are DRAINING THE TESTOSTERONE from my 30 year old and very mature body, something something pacifier rear end" and crossing that line makes you a huge loving weirdo loser

good job ninja editing that room temperature burn in btw, i can see why it took you a while to come up with

yeah that was what was totally posted, and totally not a delusion of your spergful man child mind. You, of all people, should definitely consider feeling more shame about everything you do.

Originally I had no interest without the wild encounters, but the master trainers seem like a fun gimmick. Even if it sucks that I'm going to have to fight "master metapod" trainer.

100% accurate, 90 BP physical attack with a guaranteed burn. If Flareon gets this it just might be useful after 20 years!

I was under the impression Eevee couldn't evolve and that these moves were exclusive to Pikachu and Eevee.

i bought the physical of pikachu for myself and the physical of eevee for my gf, gonna get those and the pokeballs on friday

we were originally gonna get the switch but decided we didn't really need a second one (yet)

it'll be nice to finally have the accessory for pokemon go as well because gd it hurts my neck walking around staring at my phone when we're walking the dog at the park

Poor Flareon is going to be a worse fire type than regular old lukewarm Eevee. I was always a Jolteon man but it ain't right what they do that good boy.

This really would have been a good opportunity for Game Freak to make the 151 pokemon suck less, but alas.

Well I mean, if we were keeping with Gamefreak's apparent attempt at appealing to the 3 year old and Brony crowd it would probably be" buffy wuffied" as opposed to "buffy wuffed"

I think it speaks volumes that you can't tell the difference between something with flashing lights meant to distract babies with unformed brains vs something family friendly.

you’d think for how self-conscious you are about people potentially thinking you’re some sort of childish freak you’d catch on to the fact that everyone itt thinks you’re a childish freak a little quicker

Most of the Eevee move names are bad, but Baddy Bad is so uninspired it loops right back to being the most inspired thing to come out of the Let's Go! games. If I do end up getting them at some point I will definitely get the Eevee version and that will be its most used attack.

Baddy bad is sort of the worst of the bunch because i'm not even entirely sure what type it's supposed to be, I assume dark, but it's not immediately clear.

If anything it's a perfect example of Let's Go as a whole. They did something so dumb and silly but went 100% all in on it and made some genuinely good effort and it became good as hell.

Also, surprised to see this is getting some genuinely good reviews from pokefans and places like ign and all. The general theme seems to be 'if you don't mind playing a slightly simplified game version and aren't sick to death of Kanto they actually did a really good job making this weird hybrid between Go and a 'real' pokemon game that's pretty engaging and incredibly charming'.

Hey, what if instead of different versions, the Switch Pokemon randomized your pokemon per savefile? Like, for one slot it could be Pidgey. Starly or Braviary depending on your seed.

That would actually be really nice, one of the things that I end up getting stuck doing in pokemon is just using the same ones through each run through, getting into situations were you're forced to using something new would be cool.

Going from reviews, I doubt I'll be getting it any time soon, but I am excited to see this gameplay get more refined and tackle other regions.
