>>36433788>Oh I agree, I think it's a hazardous decision to put something of this caliber as a Switch driver, considering the huge price point. I think the most realistic target audience is parents or older siblings that already own a Switch and had played Pokemon before, getting LGPE to play with the younger kids.I also agree. It seems that this game is apparently made for the GO audience, who have just rediscovered Pokemon and want to rejoin the series from the generation they likely found attraction to the series with, Generation 1 and Kanto. The funny this is, a lot of the hardcore fans who have been with Pokemon since the earlier generations find this incredibly unacceptable on the contrary, so I have no idea why GF thought this idea would ever fly. I can see them slapping it together solely because they were pressured into releasing a mainline game to increase the Switch sales, but this isn't the way to do it.
>I'd like to reserve judgment on that until we see the 2019 game's marketing/first trailer.Fair enough, we should at least give them some chance of redemption.
>I'm not saying they would abstain from having a Let's Go! line of games that remake each gen in GO style. But I'd be confident they wouldn't directly mix it with the actual mainline game series. People had been asking about GO compatibility in the actual Pokemon game series for a while, so GF created this separate game yet made it clear there was another game continuing from Kalos and Alola.If this is the way they plan on approaching things in the future, then by all means go for it. If they truly do plan on splitting the hardcore fans from the casuals, then that's great because they can appeal to both audiences without completely fucking over another the main spectrum. Regardless though I'm still concerned with the future of the franchise. Even with Kalos and Alola, the levels of hand holding, increased cut scenes, and laziness didn't bode well. Still, I see your point, nice discussion.
