I like the game for what it is. It seems like a decent stop-gap before the real show arrives. I thought releasing a new Pokemon game gen this year was too soon.

Like Labo, the only thing this "casual" product will do is sell to die-hard Nintendo enthusiasts. It's easy money for Nintendo of course, especially with that Pokeball accessory. |
Eh, I think this, and the combination of games that are already out and have not released yet, can help the Switch for both new and current consumers.
| TorterraBoy said: I'm only pissed off because The Pokemon Company only stated on their Twitter of a new CORE RPG coming in 2019, there are still many unsatisfied and angry people who don't know about Pokemon Switch |
That's what 2019 is for :P. That's tough when it comes to a rabid fanbase, especially hardcore ones.

There is literally two things that come from Pokemon Go in this game. One is the new catching and the second thing is the ability to transfer Pokemon from Go to Let's Go. The Let's Go game has an over world, much like a traditional Pokemon game. It has a battle system like a traditional Pokemon game. In fact, outside of the transfer system and catching mechanic it is a remake of a core Pokemon game (right down to how local trading works, local battling in game NPCs and trainers, etc). Your narrative that this is just Pokemon Go with some story is just blatantly false, and just watching the trailer and comparing it to the previous games and Pokemon Go should give that away.
Also, Labo is a toy/game for a very specific audience (and the mere term "casual" does not describe this product, as "casual" could mean many things; in the case of Labo it was aimed mostly at children), this is a remake of a game that has a lot of nostalgia behind it (not to mention it comes with one of the biggest multimedia and video game franchises in the world that has spanned multiple generations of gaming) that offers something to older lapsed gamers of series (the original Pokemon, Kanto, simplicity; not to mention this group of older gamers are a pretty sizeable portion of the Switch's installbase), kids (a good introduction to the series), and even fans (a spin-off to hold them over until the main series arrives in 2019).
The leveling and weakening of pokemon before throwing the pokeball will be my main reason for passing on this..
| V-r0cK said: Im interested. But kind of feels like its for those that don't want to actually go outside and play real Pokemon Go. (Maybe should've called this Pokemon No Go) |
Lol! But you can still go with the Pokemon ball xD

| jardesonbarbosa said: Even if it's just a spin-off, it looks awful. This does not look exciting at all. I've seen better looking games on the 3DS. It reminds of that Secret of Mana remake. If you can't do it right, just don't do it at all. |
How do you know if they are not doing it right from the 1st teaser?

So how are we supposed to train and level up our Pokemon in this game then? |
Well you did see the pokemons fighting with moves in the trailer.

| Faelco said: So... Will it be what will bring the Switch at 20 millions sales this year, like so many people predicted? |
This alone? No! But e3 is coming! Ask that again after that
