>>36437563Kanto has a good structure but its content needs a heavy revamp and Let's Go is denying it.
However, anything that makes TPC think "maybe they don't want Kanto THAT much" would be a good thing.
How did VC RBGY do anyway? It would be funny to compare sales after the fact.
>>36437583We've had versions of those three in the past.
Following pokémon were there in yellow and HGSS.
"Pokemon GO area" can be compared to Pal Park and even moreso the Entree (both for the Dreamworld and Pokémon Dream Radar).
Co-op existed to an extent in BW, it was just very cumbersome to even try to use as it required two consoles and two people in close proximity. However I'd hardly consider turning every battle into a double battle (for your side only) a strong feature.
And while you didn't mention it, dressing up pikachu and eevee is a much more refined (and limited) version of what you could do in Sinnoh contests and Unova musicals.
What it DOES bring to the table is regress the mechanics and pokémon selection so hard that that its closest relative is the actual gen 1 games. EV training through candies might also be quite convenient if it were to exist in any other game.
>>36437704Why does every game have to feature an art direction that favors intricate visuals and complex shading and particles?
That's no different than people in the late 90's saying that everything 2D was trash.
