What the fuck is the point of Pokemon Lets go?

Kanto again?
Only the original 151 and their Aolan forms with Mega?
no wild battles?
Co-op but doesnt give the opponent any boost to make it even?
same old story than in Yellow?
more handholding with gym checker?
first pokemon for the switch and new gen console which looks exactly like a glorified mobile game?

go compatibility?

Oh no no no no catching the 151 Pokemon hasn never been so easy...

it was created solely to capitalize on the go craze that occurred two fucking years ago, it's obvious they tried to rush this game out as fast as possible

Picture this
You are the head of a company that has managed to make people buy the same game at least twice every Generation & has a sizable amount of blissfully ignorant childs & guillible corporate cock suckers.
You made this cool new mobile game called Pokémon GO and managed to generate about a revenue that's much stronger than your already good revenue.
You've established in announcements that the next game, Generation 8, will be closer to what the long time fans want, giving you a bulletproof vest in case it fails.
All the assumptions concerning the Mobile Crowd not buying a pricy console & game are just assumptions. No other game of this size has ever tried to drag a Mobile Crowd to a Console. But given the facts stated above, why not try that? It has huge potential & given GF's money on marketing & getting influencers, the general media & aforementioned guillible cocksucking people pretty much guarantee the landing shouldn't be too rough even if the gaming crowd thinks it's rightfully bad.
> Why did they have to dumb it down so badly then? Why is it so lazy?
It's fucking Gamefreak: They're always lazy, and you've known how horrible the direction of the games under Ohmori & Masuda has been

They are basicaly trying to cather to a certain audience without taking any risks, people who think that this can flop are deluded idiots, there is nothing this game can do to affect gamefreak in the long run.

The thing is Let's Get Bored doesn't have anything relating to Go aside from some shitty catching mechanic. It's a frankenstein abomination of a game that is bad at everything it does.

kanto is the region that has the oldest games at this point, I guess they figured it deserved a remake before sinnoh

The point is to capitalize on Pokemon Go. It was the closest thing they've had to recreating Pokemania of the 90s.Gamefreak has been trying for YEARS to get Pokemon to its old glory and nothing has worked.

What they are failing to realize is normies/casuals want to play Pokemon on their phones, not buy a new console.

No one accused GF of being smart. They are trying to get on something that's trend has died already. That being said, they should've prepared for Go being a hit earlier.
