Seems to be about as good as the other entries in the series. Launch trailer:

Yeah... but it was 600,000 - so I don't really see where it fits. Perhaps it was because the Shiny was registrered in the receiver's dex?

October 31st!

No, it kind of removes the purpose of the Lite now. But nothing worth upgrading my current model for.

Just traded with someone - she is a Great Friend, and I got a Gible that I didn't have in my Pokédex. I don't understand how come the Stardust price for that trade was 600,000 - it's neither Shiny nor Legendary. But I traded a Shiny Togepi for it - did that raise the cost so much?

Yeah, nothing wrong with doing that but it's just rare that people do it just once. It's more like if people are willing to put in money, they are statistically more inclined to do it again and it will most likely happen if they keep playing the game - and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I've put in money a few times in Pokémon Shuffle on 3DS because it gave me somthting in-game. Just don't buy something that fills automatically like hearts. @Kaepora_Gaebora: Yeah, I can relate to this. It's not that I had a lot of fun with the game - it was okay but nothing great. But I'm just fearing the future of the game - Pokémon Shuffle started out fine enough but in the end, they just put in so many crazy hard levels and overpowered Pokémon to overcome them that many people really didn't enjoy it any more. And I do hope that Dr. Mario World doesn't go that way, I just fear it. Maybe it was just me being tired but couldn't get three stars on level 23 or 24 or something without using an assistant. Up till then I didn't have to use them. I haven't played versus mode at all.

I've uninstalled the game now after clearing 25 levels. It's fun and all, but it reminds me too much of Pokémon Shuffle in a bad way. That was enjoyable in the beginning but in the end, it became a chore and it got so hard that you needed to either spend ages grinding for levels, spend coins or just wait for a stronger Pokémon to appear that could clear a level with an S-rank. I fear that the assistants in this are the equivalent to the Pokémon in Shuffle.

Well, if that's the case then this isn't really what we're told it is. Then it's just another Mulan-story which is probably fine.

Digital Foundry analysis is up:

Good choice! One of the best games last year.

This is really awesome. The creativeness and cleverness of the solutions are just too much to handle, it's so nice. This is truly a game design wonder. I spent 20 minutes on a level yesterday that I went back to today and solved within 20 seconds because I just had the idea of how to clear it from a later level. I love that kind of puzzles (though they are a bit frustrating but then you can just move on). I've just started the third area after having cleared everything up till then.

I was a bit put off by it being in German when I watched the trailer - didn't know that beforehand. But I'll manage once I get it started. It had a sort of Stranger Things vibe, though, and having just watched the third season, I'm not sure it's a good idea to start another show similar to that thematically. Like how I didn't want to watch Vikings while watching GoT.

Let's Go plays quite well in handheld mode. I almost exclusively played it that way.

No one is saying it should be that cheap. @Sheikah even puts forward the number 150-165 like many others.
