I already miss Mega Evolutions. BTW, if anyone is worried that they'll miss out on getting the OP Pikachu or Eevee from Let's GO, don't be, it won't be the same Pokémon, you'll just get a Pikachu/Eevee for having save data on your Switch. It's gonna be a seperate Pikachu/Eevee that can use the Gigantamax form. Competitively speaking, they'll be next to useless, because if you want to evolve any of them, you'll lose that form, and Pikachu and Eevee (and Meowth) have rubbish stats, so you'd be better off Gigantamaxing something else. Can I just point how Charizard now officially has 4 forms! For once, the people who complain that "Pokémon is turning into Digimon" actually might be right. 1

You can't evolve them so they are even more useless. I do think Meowth's transformation is funny though. 1

I think this is very true. I don't think anyone in the world cares about this concept and thinks it's cool or beneficial. The raids in the game are a good idea and something I think the game will benefit from, but this is just... useless and unnecessary. I think that everyone would have loved the game if it were like Pokémon Stadium regarding battles. No tricks, no gimmicks, just plain battling in beautiful 3D environments on the big screen. And yes, the gen 1 love is just getting too much. We just had a remake of that generation, let it be for ... sake! There ARE other generations, Game Freak! I would be very surprised if any Pokémon from Gen 1 were missing from the National Dex. Edited October 16, 2019 by MindFreak
bob Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Christ, this is like a bad fan made Pokémon game, using crappy Deviantart versions of gen 1 pokemon.

S.C.G Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 And it's on the front page... No, I couldn't resist mentioning the blatant "Gen Wun" pandering... @Glen-i you're welcome. At least it livened up what would otherwise be another, cut, paste, format PR and video posting exercise. 2

So just to clarify, the giant old school Pikachu they showed in that trailer won’t be exclusive to those with Let’s GO save data? I’d hate to miss out on that thing, it looks hilarious. 20 hours ago, Glen-i said: Competitively speaking, they'll be next to useless, because if you want to evolve any of them, you'll lose that form, and Pikachu and Eevee (and Meowth) have rubbish stats, so you'd be better off Gigantamaxing something else. Oh boy are you gonna have fun if we ever have a Pokémon battle. Imagine our fights on Smash Bros. but like 10 times easier for you to win. Yep, pretty sure that every Pokémon I choose will have rubbish stats. They’ll look cute while they’re getting killed though... you can be sure of that. 1

There are other Pikachus in the game (Sword / Shield) but they won't be able to go Giga.
Glen-i Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Yeah, sorry @RedShell for being unclear. @MindFreak explained it perfectly.

People with Let’s GO save data get them first, but everyone else can still get them later on. 13 minutes ago, Glen-i said: Yeah, sorry @RedShell for being unclear. @MindFreak explained it perfectly.

Seeing as you love Pikachu so much, Glen-i I’ll gladly take him off your hands if so. I have no idea if it's tradable. Don't see why not. Tell you what, I'll cut you a deal. @Dcubed has an unopened physical copy of Let's GO Pikachu. I'll be open to sullying my Switch Play History to start a save file and get one for you if it can be traded. In return, if anyone tries to pull the "But Glen, I thought you hated Let's GO, why is it on your play history?" argument, you have to respond to my eventual mention and explain why that is. Deal?

Glen-i Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Nope, I like Pokémon too much. Let's GO is no doubt the reason Sword/Shield has a forced EXP Share, and the even lower diffculty that will come about from it will no doubt affect my enjoyment of Sword/Shield. So in other words, I'll stop complaining about it when it stops having an impact on Pokémon games I play. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 I've been reading a few of the previews that dropped this afternoon and they all seem very positive. My excitement for the game is starting to rise. I'm still not sure which version though.
MindFreak Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 I've decided that if I don't get to review this, I won't be getting it on this side of Christmas. I'm just not convinced that the Maxing tihng won't ruin the game completely for me.

Glen-i Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Ribbing @Serebii aside, he has made the site easier to navigate on mobiles recently. Most of the rubes here might not notice, but I sure did. And let's face it, your site is way more informative than that smelly Bulbapedia, who I'm pretty certain crib all your info anyway. Congrats on the 20th anniversary! Now update your damn PMD: EoS section, it's so incomplete! 1 1
