[Kickpuncher]

If you want to know how easy it is, I beat Brock with a level 4 Oddish.

Do trainers ever have more than one Pokémon...?

Was wondering that until literally the next trainer had 2 haha

 

[hornetswce]

I ended up playing around 5 hours last night, just about to walk onto the SS Anne. Its different, but a good different, actually finding it really relaxing. It was nice to explore mount moon without the constant zubat attacks!

It might not be the pokemon game everyone wanted, but from an unselfish perspective it is going to introduce a whole new generation of kids to pokemon

How do I throw my pokeball to the left or right? At the moment unless the pokémon is dead centre I'm just wasting balls...

Have your direction go to that side, so if it goes left of the screen just point the controller that way

 

[kangle4]

Catching is a lot easier in hand held mode.

My diglett reacted to this, cool attention to detail

 

[eDPS]

Oh dear

 

[Hawks1523]

It’s a cool nostalgia trip but honestly probably going to trade it in.

Tips to make it more difficult

Why on earth is the Switch with this game $700? Thats insane. What happened to the good old 3DS at $200?

The switch is legitimately 3 times the console the 3DS is.

But yeah shop around because 700 is way over the top.

$599 at EB but there’s probably cheaper than that around.

 

[mighty_sainters]

Pretty sure you get can the Switch for $399 and the game itself for $59. Not sure a sticker of pikachu and eevee on the dock is worth the extra few hundred dollars.

I actually lost a battle, haven’t lost a battle in a Pokémon game for a looooong time

Where and how?

I am absolutely breezing through the game without any difficulties.

Against an ace trainer with a Dodrio, Sandslash and I think a Raichu. The Dodrio made a mess of me, I’ve also been avoiding a few trainers along the way so I wouldn’t be too OP, the balancing has been good so far in terms of levels of trainers

Yeah Surge beat me and my poorly crafted party. Got him the second time though playing a bit more tactfully rather than run and gun.

Current team so far at Fuschia

Eevee
Victreebell (loved the way Bellsprout ran around so grew attached to it)
Nidorino (will be Nidoking once I get Poison Jab)
Chansey (love having a Chansey in the early game but it does really suck)
Beedrill (remembered half way through that Megas are in the game so would love to use its mega)

Using the last spot to evolve lower level Pokémon, once I get Shellder/Cloyster they will fill the final spot, Chansey is on limited time

 

[Dez!]

I'm just about to challenge Lt. Surge in Vermilion.

Eevee
Pikachu
Mew
Pidgeotto
Vulpix
Weepingbell

Got that dude to teach Eevee all of those special moves so now it knows a fire, water and electric attack.

 

[revival_mode]

still waiting on my copy, thanks aus post ya dicks

more interested in next years entry, however i lost count of the number of times i played through Red as a kid (never had any other pokemon games except i borrowed silver from a mate once & got through it). expectations are low based off what everyone has said re difficulty, etc. but should be fun to blast through it anyway i hope.

 

[Quivorir]

Pokemon appearing in the over world is the greatest addition to pokemon games of all time.

 

[Ry009]

So what are the overall impressions on the game?

Seems reasonably positive, taking into account the drastic and controversial changes from previous games.

 

[Quivorir]

I'm loving it. I love only needing to use one hand so my other hand is free to hold my balls. The game looks great and plays just like pokemon. My only issue is, it plays just like pokemon. Everything is so slow.

*text says pokemon just fainted*
*show unskippable animation of pokemon fainting*

I don't know why stuff like that doesn't happen at the same time. Why cant the text and the animation happen at the same time. That type of stuff (QoL stuff) has been my issue with pokemon for years.

Right now I'd buy a Gold/Silver version of this in a heart beat.
