Just saw the new pokemon trailer

And while I am glad they seem to be keeping the battle system pretty much the same the whole pokemon go esque catching mechanic seems kinda pointless. I mean what is the point of moves like false swipe and abilities like synchronize now? And you better hope not to miss with the one master ball you get. Well at least pokeballs aren't worth real money.... hopefully.... I really do hope there will be an option to revert back to the old catching mechanics because I actually liked battling and weakening pokemon not just chucking balls at things with gimmicky motion controls hoping to hit them and leaving it completely up to RNG like go did. and I hope to GOD that normal wild pokemon down run away like they do in go that would make shiny hunting for me just completely pointless if i couldn't guarantee a catch and they could just run away randomly, that is something that annoyed me alot that i can fail completely based on rng with little to no options to improve my chances.

And the graphics, like.... will we ever get a core pokemon game with detailed looking models? Seriously it just looks like they ripped the models straight from the 3ds games and scaled up to 1080p.

So much for having a really nice looking pokemon game *shrug* I'll probably get it anyway unless it does something more awful than making catching pokemon shitty.

It's a spin-off game and not actually gen 8. With that i dont mind it as much. Still looks fun though, i'll probably be getting it.

The Pokemon Twitter said that there will be a new Pokemon game in 2019, separate from the Let's Go games that are due out this year.  That is presumably the "core" Pokemon RPG that was announced at E3 last year.  These "Let's Go" games are supposed to be aimed at newcomers and fans of Pokemon Go.

I've never played Go, but I'll be honest, I'll probably still get it.  Probably the Eevee version, 'cause I love the Eeveelutions.  Especially Espeon and Umbreon.

I hope so. Just those graphics scream "rush job" since they just looked like upscaled 3ds models. Also with how it's looking i hope it's not a $60 price tag

while i have not been able to verify this, someone i watched give the details about everything that was talked about in a press conference said there was no random battles so if that's true not only would you not be able to damage and give pokemon status effects to assist in catching, you can't even get xp from non trainers. I'll try to look into it more though.

EDIT: serebii which is a very accurate site for pokemon news also says no wild battles only capturing.

You do realize there are over 800 Pokemon right? It is within their financial interests to keep their models acceptably underwhelming. Any bumps in graphical quality has to be done 800 times over each time they bump it.

They technically COULD bump the graphics but considering the time and financial effort and how little payoff it would have as far as game sales "ripped straight from the 3ds games" is the right business move.

it was said they been working on the 2019 pkm game since before the switch was announced so they probably are upping the graphics for the core game

I've never been a big fan of the Pokemon games, I've always thought the whole "weakening to capture" was a boring chore more than anything...

Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee seems to be more oriented towards newcomers and casual, people that don't care about evs and other shitastic stats.

I just found out that the Poké Ball Plus (you know the pokéball shaped joy-con with only a joystick and a single button and that will only be compatible with Pokémon Go et Let's Go) will be sold at 60 euros / dollars... Way to fuck the pooch Nintendo...
