The trailer literally says, " Your First Adventure In a New Style." The game seems to be playing on the same nostalgia as Pokemon Go by appealing to people who played Pokemon Yellow twenty years ago. 

I played Yellow when it was released and didn't play another main Pokemon title afterward, so I am part of that target audience. Yellow had random enounters. Yellow had you weaken a Pokemon before capturing it. Yellow had HMs. None of the changes made for this yellow remake appeal to me whatsoever.  Pokemon Go appealed to people because it was free. Not because they did away with weakening Pokemon before catching them. If they just remade Yellow faithfully then the nostalgia effect would have been so much stronger.

Well they said "Inspired by Pokémon Yellow, not a remake". Also this is not Pokemon Go game also even it has Pokemon Go like catching.

In any case this will be quite popular game and huge system seller game in any case, it's actually aiming broader audience ("a core RPG for everyone") compared to core RPG Pokemon game.
