There are battles, just no wild battles, ie. You can battle other trainers and there'll probably be gyms and Elite 4.
No breeding either.
Good points, I mean, at worst it should be fun.
I watch a vid where they said if if you're not into that Go stuff, though, it can be played close to a regular Yellow remake.
feck THIS I AM OUT
Like me and Gran Tourismo, I mean, I like the cars but hate the racing bits.I think the wild encounters and battles are my least favourite thing about the games usually, so hopefully this will be good for me
Would rather have a HD remaster of yellow/crystal/emerald all in one game. That would be the tits.
I guess it is a little weird to not enjoy the battling much, I just really enjoy exploring the world listening to the music, so interruptions of that gets annoying
Breeding is the biggest waste of time ever. I remember spending hours, days, months in the mid-noughties reading guides and tutorials trying to master IVs, natures and all the other nonsense to no avail. Good riddance.
Was this confirmed? I didn't see that stated anywhere...
I bred a team of near perfect(no need for 31 attack IV's on a special attacker, etc) IV pokemon, competitive movesets, the lot. It was kinda fun how ridiculously OP they were for in game battles.
EDIT: Actually, if I remember correctly, you don't even need 31 IV's, as the way it's all calculated means 30 works out the same attribute wise.
To be honest, while I was taking the piss, it's not exactly untrue. I loved customizing the cars, but hated the racing/simulation aspect. I prefer more arcadey/action(*cough* fun... *cough*) racers like Sonic, Mario, Crash, or Burnout.

From that it actually sounds decent enough although I won't bother with the Go integration if I get it. I haven't watched the trailer yet.
Looks like a very streamlined experience then! I'm still pretty excited, but no wild battles and no breeding are going to be very alien for me.
However, I am somewhat happy about these changes. If they work and the replacements are good enough to cause less of a 'grind', then I'm all for them continuing in future installments.
Haha yes agreed, I find realistic racers and or sims boring. Give me some weapons or something and I'll be happy
If anyone missed the gameplay they showed post e3 direct:
- Pokemon team gain exp when you catch a wild pokemon.
- They said they changed a bit in the story to make it freah, that was apparent during a conversation with the rival character.
- There are Gyms, they showed Brock, Gyms look different and with an audience, very cool.
- Showed the trainer riding an Onix, you can ride any big Pokemon, looked very very cool, Onix looked huge next to a wild Ratata.
- Didn't see this but read that they confirmed you can catch starter Pokemons, ie someone found Bulbasour in Viridian Forest.
- Pokeball Plus comes with a Mew that you can put into the game, you can choose the Pokemon inside the Pokeball.
- Looked a bit easy, there's a new technique in training, if you send a Pokemon to Oak's lab you get candy, and depending on it's kind you can raise a certain stat of the pokemon you want to train.
- You need to catch pokemons in order to move them from Pokemon Go.
- You can pre-order game+Pokeball+ bundle for 80$
Here's the full video:
I'm totally sold.

Thanks for that I turned it off after the showreel.
You can catch Pokemon in handheld mode, which is better as I play my switch like that most times.

Having thought about, the game looks decent, but it feels unnecessary. Pokemon Go was an OK game but they should have left it at that. Most fans wanted a console version of the original games, that should have been priority and maybe they could have released that this year. This game feels like they're milking the cow.
I’m with you to be honest, I can see myself skipping this game and holding out for the proper version next year.
I mean I’ll obviously still buy it who am I kidding. But reluctantly

No you won't
.Neither will I, Nintendo can have my money. In fairness, I haven't laid a finger on my switch since I beat Ganon last Spring.
I'm not really interested in this at all to be honest.I mean I’ll obviously still buy it who am I kidding. But reluctantly
*pre orders both editions*
They need to make a proper open world pokemon game, that would be the tits.
- i know some of you guys are really into the Pokemon franchise.I loved the games as a kid, but why get both? Purely for the collection factor - I assume the games are exactly the same? I know with Red/Blue, Sun/Moon there was a different starter / legendary to catch, but surely it gets very repetitive to simply play through the exact same story / location etc etc...
Not wanting to get thrown out of the thread here, but genuinely curious in case I am missing something that may influence whether to get the Pikacu / Evee version myself.
Really wish the wild battle mechanic hadn’t changed. Honestly, I would have preferred a straight up remake.
It looks so great but I just don’t see how the new mechanics can be seen as an improvement and is nothing more than a gimmick.

I’m assuming he’s joking, I’ve only ever bought one of them and with online trading these days there’s even less reason to get both as the version exclusives are easy enough to get.
It will only be for this game, other improvements are enough for me to be interested in this.
Indeed, just taking the piss. I did used to do it back before online trading though, for version exclusives and that.
Just saw this linked on Reddit

Saw this kickstarter last night. Will be surprised if it doesn't have a few legal issues.
Most of those creatures are fecking awful.
This was confirmed for the Switch at E3.
Even the type weaknesses are more or less the same.

The random elements and competitive scene of what?
This game looks like it was built by competitive Pokémon players that think they can do it better. Most of the ideas are interesting, but I think the presentation of it is just a bit shite, as well as the name. Everything points toward a big disappointment. But I'll probably get it just to see anyway
Agreed with every point you've made, even the "probably get it" one...This game looks like it was built by competitive Pokémon players that think they can do it better.

It is made by the same crowd that done Immortal Redneck, and that's supposed to be good, at least.
Just found this box from a few years ago (old picture)
I don't remember any of the cards in there so going through them is like opening them for the first time again
It's making me want to get some new packs though...

Interesting... why not try to sell them before opening?
They're already opened from when I first got them, I just put them back in the packaging to keep them tidy
There's actually a Pokeman games thead here. Thought I was from the minority. I have played through all the generations so you can consider me a hardcore fan.
