Wonder if you'll be able to transfer legendary/mythical Pokemon from the game to Pokemon Go or not... >_> I failed catching Mewtwo in an EX Raid yesterday in Pokemon Go and am very interested in the possibility of this being an alternative to that mess.

...Also wonder how much the ball controller will cost.

And also... not looking forward to actually having to throw balls... I have enough trouble in Pokemon Go, why do this to me? Maybe there'll be an auto target feature or something for people that are bad at it Crying or Very sad

...SO MANY QUESTIONS IN MY HEAD NOW.

Hmm anyway cant wait to see lets play nuzlocke runs of this game. otherwise its pretty decent with some ups and downs, not perfect as early s&m trailers since there are lot of questions I need to get answered especially the difficulty.

The article now has an update with the Japanese retail prices for the games and the Poké Ball Plus. The prices may be different outside Japan though, especially after possible discounts.

I'm certainly interested. I hope the Go aspects like the ball throwing aren't as jarring for those like myself who never played the mobile game. Co-Op sounds amazing.

...I think I'll pass on this one. This was definitely meant to appeal to the people who went back into Pokémon through Pokémon GO and were uncomfortable with the Alola games. They're even severely downplaying battling. I do wonder if the Alolan Pokémon will be available in this one though.

Reminds me of when Pokémon Battle Revolution had just come out and there were a lot of people asking online if they could do a throwing motion with their Wii Remotes to release their Pokémon and were disappointed it didn't have that. Clearly, the demand exists for stuff like that.

Yay! This looks so cute! Now I have a reason to buy a Switch! Pokemon Yellow was my first video game EVER. On the other hand, I know I'm not gonna be able to use the Pokemon GO features, since the latter absolutely refuses to work on my phone at all. Oh well! I better start saving my money!

My only beef is that I'm not a fan of the new way to catch Pokémon, and it took the surprise out. I'm also not that big of a fan of not being able to battle wild Pokémon in order to weaken them. That being said, I can't wait to return to Kanto this fall. I haven't played any new Pokémon games since Gold and Silver back in 2000-2001, and this will probably be my attempt to return to the series.

These games will also make up for how the I Choose You! movie was such an insult to me and most other fans. OLM must have thought we were stupid when they pulled the "Pikachu Talks!" stunt.
