Another question.
To catch pokemon do you have to use motion controls? I mostly play Pokemon outdoors and think it would be weird for me to be swinging around my joycon on the bus or train.

You don't have to use motion controls in handheld mode.

That sounds good thanks.



As Pokemon Let's Go is set in Kanto I'm going to have to pick it up, it didn't get destroyed by reviewers so If I go in with an open mind I may enjoy it.

Played it for over an hour last night, i managed to make it to brock. I had fun with it so far. The game has a real charm to it that i like a lot. The catching mechanic works quite well, it's quicker than in normal games but still has a bit of depth. Also i love the music so far.

I've been hearing its a laid back Pokemon game. I'm excited to get my hands on it later today.

Its definitely a more relaxing game.



Actually this spinoff is made for me. So glad I picked it up. While I think a higher difficulty mode and trainer level scaling could do a lot for this game, I love the catch mechanic.
I'm usually buying Pokemon every two years (the last two entries I bought have been sun and Y). But all those random fights and the way of catching Pokemon doesn't felt good anymore. It's dumb grind and I can't really remember when I stopped collecting the entire Pokedex, but it has been a decade at least. With let's go I really enjoy collecting Pokemon again....and man I hope they don't drop this feature but instead improve it in Lets Go second gen, two years from now. This might be my new mainline series, after sun has been the least played Pokemon game I've ever bought.
