got some time to kill while the internet is flooded by dlc talk
>lets go gen 2
>naming convention and starter idea from lets go gen 1 is scrapped. no unevolving partner, you will get a normal johto starter
>no kanto
>kurt is replaced by a machine like in the isle of armor
>obviously no dynamax, z moves, or variants
>johto starter megas: fire/ground, grass/fairy, water/poison
>a handful (and i mean slim handful) of new johto megas in addition to pre-existing johto and kanto megas
>aside from johto starters, the new megas can only be obtained through pokemon go, though there are trainers with them in-game
>two tiers of gym leader rematches, no scaled e4 rematches
>no catching contest or pokeathalon
>galar/alola forms of kanto mons + corsola can be obtained the same way as lets go gen 1
>completing the dex yields you a zarude with a pink scarf
>mid 2021 release as opposed to the standard q4
>another 30 dollar dlc double pack
>first is the “time and space” expansion, where elm sends you to go undercover in sinnoh to figure out what’s up with team galactic
>your previous pokemon are inaccessible until you beat it
>besides those two factors, they follow diamond and pearl exactly
>no gym leader rematches
>another couple gen 4 megas, but not the starters
>pack 2 is the “dark creation” expansion
>mysterious megas discovered for the starters
>includes the battle resort and several in game events for sinnoh’s mythicals/legends (yes that includes the distortion world) and celebi
>mega darkrai is the only new legendary form across either region
>completing the sinnoh dex gives you the shiny charm
>only the regional dexes of both ogs besides zarude
>finally, there are no plans for a lets go gen 3 or 5 but they do intend to make one for kalos in the end of the next generation
there you go, tired of seeing misinformation. i think once the community swallows the $90 lets go pill, these games will be pretty beloved. i’ll answer what i can, don’t have long.
