Thats not a source.They now have a 3 year gap between generations and that’s only for the first set of games in the generation aswell
That’s not really the point it’s the long term thinking of what they can doThey've also been working on this game since before they started working on the Lets Go game. There has been more than enough time to get all pokemon into this game.
This highlights the stupidity of set dates more than it justifies the omission of Pokemon.Development times, Pokemon has a set date for every game now between generations and demand for remakes of older games at the same quality are also expected.
Set dates come more from the Pokémon company in aligning their Tv Show, trading cards and all that stuff. I mean it’s not that hard to put filler in the tv show but to the Pokémon company it’s the big picture moreso than the games themselves.This highlights the stupidity of set dates more than it justifies the omission of Pokemon.
I understand, but I don't think that really justifies it. If it was EA or Activision publishing a game without reasonably expected content because they had to meet a deadline they would be panned. I don't see this situation as any different.Set dates come more from the Pokémon company in aligning their Tv Show, trading cards and all that stuff.

They are being panned, it's ultimately only a vocal minority and it won't affect sales but they're definitely copping it.I understand, but I don't think that really justifies it.

It's not a deal-breaker for me but it's disappointing. The transition to Switch was always going to be challenging, but I'm disappointed they've gone with an easier way out.
As an aside, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up drip-feeding Pokemon into the game with updates as a not-so-subtle attempt to extend the game's longevity.
Oh I know they're copping it - I wasn't suggesting that they weren't. I was just disagreeing with the timeline defence - it's not an excuse when other companies do it, why should it be here?They are being panned, it's ultimately only a vocal minority and it won't affect sales but they're definitely copping it.
You could tell Masuda was dissapointed when he delivered the news and he's said as much in interviews since.
Yeah thought that would be the caseFelt it was too easy and did not like it. Did a couple of things right, but it was genwunner trash.
I prefer the regular main line games but I still really enjoyed let's go and think it's worth a play through if you're a Pokemon fan.What are peoples thoughts on the lets go game? Ive read its more aimed at younger people new to pokemon and not much about battling... is that right?
My biggest gripe is ok you’ve added what everyone has wanted in the wild area but why is it just one part of the game? to me they’re just so far behind in terms of where they could be. To me it just looks messy and not well put together.I get that people are having fun laying into Gamefreak at the moment but that’s an E3 demo build.
If it’s still like that in the final product than have at it.
That’s a fair comment.My biggest gripe is ok you’ve added what everyone has wanted in the wild area but why is it just one part of the game? to me they’re just so far behind in terms of where they could be. To me it just looks messy and not well put together.
Everyone plays the game differently, for me not having all the Pokémon is not an issue there are too many anyways and having less legendaries in the game is always a good thing. It’s just a shame there are only so many slots and they’ve given three of them to the ice cream Pokémon..That’s a fair comment.
I’m a little more forgiving but I fully understand peoples gripes with Gamefreak and the Pokémon games, I agree with a lot of them, but you have to be fair about it, some people go way over the top with it.
I actually like the challenge of beating the game with a group of mons Ive never used before

Can't say I agree with that. Probably only half way through the games but as usual the battles are a real bore as I can just steamroll through with my over leveled pokemon. Not over leveled by gridning levels either, just playing the game. Probably the easiest of all the already easy games in the series.I fond the opposite. Because you can't grind through training against wild pokemon it makes trainer battles more challenging and interesting.
This is a good point. I think a lot of people would be more accepting of this if it looked like a game from 2019.It seems a pretty weak excuse to say they don't have the graphics/animations/whatever to do it when you look at the animations in a Pokemon game compared to the engines and capacities of other games in 2019.
