The co-op in lets go pikachu and eevee is utter proof masuda has absolutely no idea how to make a video game fun.

Co-op could have made lets go literally the best game in the franchise, but after playing with a friend for just 1 hour we had to stop due to how boring it was 2v1ining every trainer in the game. it felt like using a gameshark/cheating, we almost fell asleep.
also the fact you have to wait until your partner picks his attack before you do is almost laughably bad

“There’s no getting around it,” admitted Junichi Masuda, director of Pokémon: Let’s Go! and most other modern Pokémon RPGs, when we spoke to him after our demo. “It is going to be an easier experience if you are playing with another person cooperatively.”
Why does this have to be a bad thing? he argued."
