We’re the let’s go games actually any good? I didn’t play them because the mechanics looked pretty awful

Smithy 19-06-2020 04:48 PM

Yeah, the no battling for wild Pokémon was odd to begin with but you get used to it. Also very odd getting Eevee to use fly :joker:

They were fun but they were limited. You could only catch the first 150 pokemon and they didn't have access to their evolutions from the later games although Alolan forms and mega evolution does make an appearance. There's also no breeding and such so if you like raising pokemon from eggs then you'll have no luck in those games.

It's kind of a weird mix of old and new since, in a lot of ways it's a faithful remake of Yellow but there's also innovations such as no random battles introduced in this game that carried over to Sword and Shield.

I enjoyed it for what it was but don't expect those games to be as robust as the main pokemon games are.

If it's true though, I hope they aren't as limited as the first Let's Go games were. I'll enjoy them either way but it'll be nice to have some pokemon beyond Gen 1 and 2 appear in the game.

It really annoys me that mons from first gen get pre-evos in later gens :skull: like how you gonna catch Mr mime and Chansey in Kanto but not Happiny or Mime Jr :skull:

Yeah, it was really dumb that you couldn't evolve the likes of Magmar, Electabuzz, Phydon or Scyther either (and more). It's one thing I hope they change if this rumour is true. If they're gonna keep it strictly to the first two gens of pokemon, they need to include all the evos and other forms that came later.

isn't Azumarill trash stat-wise though? they'll have to give it a boost if its gonna be the starter

It’s got really high attack, but sod all else I think.

I’m more inclined to play this than the first gen ones but I’d rather they announced a Sinnoh remake.

Tom4784 20-06-2020 08:34 PM

There's been a lot of datamining of Crown Tundra stuff in the Isle's code and apparently the full list of pokemon present is out in the wild

Spoiler:

https://twitter.com/abcboy101/status...ord%2F78787799

It's mostly dragons, fossils, the legendaries present in trailers, along with the Zubat, Electabuzz and Magmar lines along with Absol and Jynx (which gives the rumoured Galarian form creedence).

Interestingly enough, there's basically no Gen 2 or 4 pokemon (outside of the new evos for old pokemon) present in the the Tundra which certainly gives a lot of weight to the Let's Go Johto and D/P remakes speculation. My guess is that Let's Go will be announced on Wednesday to be released late November this year with the Crown Tundra releasing early November. They could brand it as a month of Pokemon and have new events in Sw/Sh to celebrate both launches.

I'd be shocked if D/P isn't announced next year.

I haven't played sword yet but what is this DC all about?

Liam- 20-06-2020 08:41 PM

Now that I’m thinking about it, are there any new Pokemon in Armour? I know obvious the Kubfu line which I’m in love with, but there weren’t any others or any different forms that I noticed

The Galarian Slowpoke line. It seems like the Isle is basically based around expanding the pokedex and adding features to alleviate grinding while the Crown Tundra will add Calyrex, two new Regis, the Galarian forms of the legendary birds and possibly Galarian Jinx as well as bringing back a bunch of old legendaries and such. I'm pretty sure that the Tundra will be the story focused DLC of the two. According to what I've heard, the actual Tundra is meant to be pretty damn big.

Tom4784 23-06-2020 02:19 PM

A 'map' of the Crown Tundra's been datamined. It doesn't show the actual lay of the land but you can see how many zones and quick travel points there are and there are a LOT. Crown Tundra is going to be big which is odd given that, judging from the pokedex leak, that there's not going to be a huge number of returning non-legendary pokemon.

I've been hearing rumours that they might be moving the release date forward to September but there's nothing substantial behind it. It could make sense with the potential for Let's Go 2 being announced tomorrow but who knows?

Tom4784 24-06-2020 01:36 PM

And the big announcement was.... A mobile game.

I forgot they were even announcing something :skull: surely Pokemon snap wouldve been a better separate announcement?

I've noticed gamefreak dont like giving much attention to games that aren't made by them (because they're usually better i.e. snap, colosseum, XD, ranger etc)

Tom4784 25-06-2020 07:31 PM

It's become the most disliked Nintendo video of all time, apparently :skull:

A lot of the speculation is that Tencent pushed for their own direct and Nintendo caved. The whole situation is grim, people who think that EA is the spawn of Satan have never heard of Tencent or it's business practices. Disgusting company.

Smithy 29-09-2020 01:19 PM

Crown Tundra is released Oct 22

Artwork for Galarian Slowking


Tom4784 29-09-2020 01:33 PM

It's disappointing that it's not a different typing to Slowbro, tbh. It looks more like a ghost or dark type than poison.

I was expecting them to announce Galarian Jynx since, the last I heard, she was datamined in Home but I suppose they're saving her as a surprise.

Smithy 29-09-2020 02:47 PM



The **** is this trailer :laugh:

A minute of battle?!

Everything that’ll be appearing in the crown tundra

Saph 12-10-2020 08:57 PM

I haven't been on this since the isle of armor was released :skull:

Smithy 23-10-2020 09:13 AM
