Glen-i Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I'll try to put this in as little of a spoilerific title as possible. Spoiler It's an evolution of Meltan. It's called Melmetal. This guy I like. It's like Buzzwole's Mechanical Cousin. It can only evolve in Pokémon GO. Quote It has become clear that Meltan will only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO. To evolve it, you will need 400 Meltan Candies. Edited October 24, 2018 by Glen-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm still not sure if I will get this game, but I can see myself caving into damned nostalgia (sorry @Glen-i) I may just get @Daft to get BuffBlob for me though as I gave up on PoGo a long time ago.

Hard to say precisely at this point. But having played PoGo will at least give you an idea of the catching mechanics of Let's Go, and the benefit of having played more than enough PoGo is that you can transfer your Pokémon to Let's Go, giving you the chance to get a strong Dragonite in Let's Go. Also, you can only evolve the new Pokémon Meltan through Pokémon Go. Aside from that, though, it's not a requirement to enjoy Let's Go, I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the benefits? @MindFreak has it almost right. One feature he overlooked though is that connecting Let's GO to GO will make it very easy to catch Meltan in GO for 30 minutes. This can be repeated whenever you transfer another Pokémon to the Switch game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's retiring as game director of the mainline series after this and will focus purely on music from now on. It's likely that Shigeru Ohmori (director of ORAS and Sun/Moon) will take over the reigns of the series from now on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that the game requires you to make a throwing motion with the Joy-con in docked mode... yeah... that wouldn't end well with a Pro Controller... My first thought as well but it's possible to do it without doing the motion. https://www.vgr.com/heres-how-to-catch-pokemon-in-lets-go-pikachu-and-eevee-without-motion-controls/ https://nordic.ign.com/switch/19250/news/pokemon-lets-go-works-without-motion-controls-but-theres-a-c https://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-and-eevee-for-nintendo-switch-dont-use-motion-controls-in-handheld-mode-nint-1923684 So it seems that they reverted the decision that you have to use motion controls. It's just better to do so. I'm really excited to hear about how this game plays in handheld mode. Edited November 2, 2018 by MindFreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Nice, I may well just play this in Handheld mode exclusively then until an inevitable update which might allow Pro Controllers while docked further down the line. I dislike having to use the Joy-Cons on their own as it is, I'll put up with it for the odd game of Super Mario Party but that's about it. Obviously I understand the advantages to using just Joy-Cons for certain games but recently a lot of wireless technology has fallen out of favor in our household. So that includes Bluetooth and a lot of RF devices and especially Wi-Fi... the upside is that going back to ethernet will be a lot more stable so that's good. Anyway, that's probably a subject for another thread in the future. For now, I may well play Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! here and there to see how I get on with it but it's always nice to have options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hmm having to use Joy-Cons pretty much eliminates (comfortablly) playing while travelling which is a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Weird for no Pro controller support, but I kind of understand why. Will most likely have to play this outside of my commute (normally play a lot of Switch commuting) and play at my desk at lunch or at home.

Hero-of-Time Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It's hard to believe that this is out next week. I'm quite looking forward to finally playing it. It's just a shame my phone can't run Pokemon Go to get the connectivity benefits from the game. Obviously @Falcon_Black is buying the game but who else is picking the game up at launch?

That's gonna be a hard no from me. As a competitive player, this offers very little that interests me. The Nature Woman looks really useful though, so I hope that carries over to next year's game.
