It's an all new pokemon apparently, I suspect it's a new legendary.

kinda disappoints me that a 3d kanto remake has been used for this and not an actual game

Bitch was me saying it’s the new eveelution not saying it was a new Pokemon?

I'd love Kanto be included in a "proper" game. Does anyone know offhand if it borders any existing regions other than Johto? A game like (H)G(S)S where it starts with a new region and has Kanto for postgame could be cool.

Even better - having Kanto and Johto as well as the new region!


I wonder if that dude in Vermillion city has finished his building yet The Pokemon stomping the ground flat is probably a Machamp by now

I'm fairly certain it's been suggested that it's not an evolution of any kind, trout.

This looks better than I thought

[Ant.]

Jessie and James are in it

[Tom4784]

So which version are we getting, girls?

I'm gonna go for Eevee tbh.

[Oliver_W]

It looks soo good I want it NOW!

[Scarlett.]

Think I wanna get Pikachu, but... that feels a little typical lol

The more I’m seeing of it, the more I’m coming round to it, I guess you never actually battle Pokémon on the handheld unless you want to catch them, then after that its generally just running from them, I don’t ever actually battle wild Pokémon to level up my own (well after a point anyway)

I just hope there’s a decent amount of gameplay time in it, idk why but I feel like it’ll be a really easy game and really quick to complete

The way I see it, it's a spinoff. The next generation is coming in 2019 so I just see it as a stopgap game tbh.

I think a lot of the gameplay they've shown has been dialled down for stream purposes, I know they've upped the amount of EXP pokemon earn but it'll be dialled down for the release.

The whole not having access to a gym unless you have a pokemon that is strong against the gym type is worrying but I assume that's just for the first gym.

[Oliver_W]

Yeah as it's not a main-gen game I'm not too fussed about gameplay - it'll just be fun to run around a fresh looking Kanto, farting around with Gen 1 'mons.

Though the new Kanto map does make me wonder where exactly the SS Anne is meant to go:

From what I've seen, some of the earlier trainers have Pokemon the same level as in the original Yellow game's rival at Victory Road (essentially the end of the game) so I can only imagine trainers having higher level pokemon will account for the possible lack of grinding (as you can't level up against wild Pokemon)

Here's hoping there's a heavy focus on rematches then

[Tom4784]

From what I've seen of the gameplay, you gain exp from catching pokemon.

[Ninastar]

Okay that looks ****ing amaaaaaazing. I DIED at the bowlcut hair on eevee

[Smithy]

Oh I just saw you battle the legendary Pokemon which is kind of cool

[Saph]

I'm just a bit confused about how it all works.. can you only use pikachu or eevee through the whole game or..

Doesn't look that way from the trailers!

Its the same deal as Pokemon Yellow i think. Pikachu or Eevee are your starters and aside from the pokemon go mechanics and seeing wild pokemon on the overworld, it looks basically like a normal pokemon game

[Saph]

I hope you can evolve Eevee

Is the co-op online? I remember hearing it wasn't at first, but I hear that was a false report?

[Nicky91]

There may be a new eeveelution coming!
