You didn't ask me but I'm butting in anyway! While Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon is a blatant cash grab, essentially DLC that also forces you to buy the main game again, the amount of content in that game is at least up to par so the price isn't bad for those who didn't already get Sun/Moon. Like I've said many times now, Let's Go has 20% of the content Sun/Moon has at 1.5x the price. I'm not making that number up btw, 153 Pokemon out the total 809 is 18.91%. This doesn't take into account the many other features and options that were removed of course. The game has better graphics for sure, though not up to the standard of other Switch titles and the style has regressed going back to being chibi and grid based, but eh. I don't think because a game is in HD that automatically means it should be full price. Nintendo agrees, or atleast used to with releases like Tropical Freeze, Woolly World, Rainbow Curse, Treasure Tracker, Splatoon (outside US), etc. not going for full price. |
To be fair:
-USUM is the model pokemon has adopted since the beginning. Yellow, crystal, emerald and platinum are all in the USUM model, and all of them do not add more then USUM.
-Lets Go had to add animations of each 150 +alolans pokemon following you, interacting with the enviroment, the animations of they normal lives and specific behavior in the tall grass while you don't approach them. Is far more much work for each pokemon. I don't expect to have all of this for all the 809 in the next game. And while they removed some mechanics, they add new ones that has more to do to the goal of the game. Chain combo, candies, coach trainers, getting rid of random encounters to show pokemon behavior in the world, adding an element of gameplay(you have to go to the pokemon youre seeing), even some for the competitive play as AVs, madam nature, perfect IVs on chain combos.
But yeah, I agree that is still not great value for 60$. Great game with low value.
