NEWS: Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Eevee! Nintendo Switch Games' Trailer Streamed

I was really dissappointed that this isn't an Gen 8 but rather an remake of an Gen 1, it makes me boycotting this game for good!

You know we're still getting Gen 8 almost certainly next year, right? Yeah, I think it's a weird move for a remake to be the first Pokemon game on a new system too, but this has quite clearly been marketed as a side game and should be treated as such. Besides, the primary audience is clearly GO players in order to see if they can be enticed into the far more enjoyable main series. Getting mad that this exists is just expending energy that is best spent elsewhere.

I know about that, but i wonder if they are going to remake Gen 2 to the Switch too, i wonder if this kind of thing would be boring too. I guess they had officially stopping producing too much Geneneration of Pokemon altogether.

Unfortunately they're saying that if Pokemon LGP/E is successful they will continue the LG brand as a series. =/

Like I get that not every game that is released can be for me, and that's fine. But a GameFreak Pokemon being completely and totally not for me? That's a first (excluding third versions, which are very similar to the original release which is why I don't always get them). I always counted on GF to make and release Pokemon games I wanted. And I was really excited when a Pokemon game might be coming out for the Switch this year. Lord knows my Switch needs it, because as a Wii U owner it has been one dry console. But then it turned out to be this.

I am most intrigued by the OST, as I do like the music from Generation I, and having it be orchestrated (although I haven't listened close enough to be able to parse if it's synthesized or not) makes it pretty exciting. I also hope that since now Eevee has a female design they will cut off the whole Eevee (and other Pokemon with the same) being majority male deal.

But overall I would not enjoy these games. I would not enjoy the unambitious 2.5D remake of Kanto, only having the original 151 Pokemon, the Pokemon GO wild Pokemon system, and worst of all the forced Gyro controls for catching Pokemon in handheld mode.

i wonder if this is a test for the new gen, and i dare say a console version
