I'd like them to do more mega evolutions and z-moves, but regional variants should remain an Alola thing imo. it's what makes the region special

I did it, I got a Switch to play Let's Go and the new game when it comes out. I pretend I'll use it for other games but this will be the third or fourth console I've owned just for pokemon.

don't care

:hfive:
This is literally me. I've owned a DS Lite, 3DS, and Switch pretty much only for Pokemon. I got to Fuchsia City in Let's Go Eevee and then basically plateau'd so that I could work on getting Meltan/Melmetal in Pokemon Go and eventually Let's Go as well.

Lack of Wild Battles can go to hell. Leave the Let's Go mechanics to Let's Go games.

Someone who doesn't want to have to catch and mulch a hundred of those same Zubat s while playing a repetitive minigame where they wiggle across the screen.

Also i would like to actually use my Pokemon and not sideline them for like most of my play time.

They should put in wild battles instead of just Go-style pokeball tossing, but also have wild pokemon appear on the overworld instead of being random encounters.

I'd like some variation of contests added in as an alternative storyline to gyms, along with a championship and granting XP. Either have them unlock the same routes through hm/rides, or have slightly different ones depending on which method you take, or you can just do both.

Also dexnav > wild overworld mons

absolutely anything

Someone beat Let's Go doing a modified Nuzlocke. You do not have to grind catches. I was overlevelled just filling the dex.

I suppose I would also accept having early and limitless access to quick balls. But seriously gently caress the tedium of catching in the regular games.

Catching sucks in Let's Go because pokemon can just leave and you can't really do anything about it.

While not happening in Sword and Shield likely due to simple overlap in development schedules, I keep full hope this will happen in the next game, be it the third version of SwSh, the ever-expected DP remakes, or whatever Game Freak surprises us with next.

I say this as if I didn't know it will be barely-changed Kanto, again, forever.

Certainly not my experience but maybe i've been lucky. At the very least not every pokemon known roar, while every Pokemon in Go has the potential to just end the battle if they feel like it, which really sucks for pokemon with low catch rates.

What's the priority of Eevee evolution conditions? If I level up my high-Friendship, high-Pokemon Amie Eevee during the day near a Mossy Rock, what evolution do I get?

Leafeon.

Location is first Priority.

Next is Amie so if you weren't near the rock you would get Sylveon, but only if it ALSO has a fairy type move.

And Friendship comes after both of those two things.
