>"THE GAMES ARE TOO EASY, THEY MADE IT 2V1!"
Only in Co-op mode. You've played Pokémon normally for 20 years, Game Freak did not design the co-op mode for regular play.

>"LOOK! THE GYM GUIDE FORCES YOU TO HAVE A TYPE ADVANTAGE!"
Actually, its confirmed that this requirement is only for the first gym. The other gyms have unique entry tasks, similar to trials in Alola. The Gym Guide is there to make sure new players understand the type advantages, a necessary decision due to the fact that Starters traditionally teach this lesson to new players, but LGPE will have only a Electric and a Normal type Pokémon to start with, meaning the advantages of having an advantageous type needs to be taught elsewhere early in the game.

>"B-BUT MUH GO CATCHING!"
It's literally a more challenging Safari Zone mechanic that takes advantage of the Joy Con and has more involved gameplay than the typical "false swipe + status + mash A to throw" catching.

>"THE LEVELS ARE LOWER, REEEEEE"
Actually, the levels in the trailers have been shown to be universally equal or actually HIGHER than the Gen 1 counterparts. In cases where this isn't true, teams have been updated for exceeding difficulty. For example, the Nugget Bridge trainer has his Caterpie replaced with Venonat, and Misty's Starmie now uses Scald. This ensures that battling in Kanto will now be more diverse and challenging than ever before.

>"THEY MADE BLUE A BITCH!"
Actually, that's not Blue. That character was distinctly referred to as the "Friendly" Rival. Even the original leaker said Blue would still be in the game. Chase was added because thus far, Kanto was the only region without a friend character, a staple of the series.

>"THEY REMOVED IV'S A-AND STUFF!"
Confirmed false, in fact they made gauging stats even easier

>"NO HOLD ITEMS!!!"
Confirmed false now too

>"TERRIBLE VARIETY!!!"
With Alolan Forms and Mega's, this is the largest Kanto Dex to date, more than big enough for a remake.

/vp/ keeps being BTFO on these games!
