    Neat remix from what was shown imo. Not fantastic though, just good.
     
    Lavender Town looks great with Switch graphics and glad that the channelers are back in the game. Hope that the Marowak battle is kept in the game.

    The song is as depressing and disturbing as I've remembered, even if it's quite tame.

    The X-Files theme is tame, but still freaky ):

    That said, I can't wait for my copy of LGE and Pokéball accessory *.*

    Music is good!

    But it's a little disappointing that the dialogue is basically the same. :( I was still (fruitlessly, I guess) hoping that this would be different enough from RBY to make me excited to play through Kanto again.

    Why reinvent the wheel as they say. Still... it should be a different experience in 3D as Kanto basically hasn't had a dedicated game since FRLG. Alolan variants should make this area of the game a breeze though, especially if you go with Alolan Rattata/Raticate.

    Because I've played this wheel so many times already. I want something fresh. :P

    But this game is not for veteran players, it's for newcomers to the series, so I understand why they're doing it.
     
    It's not unreasonable to expect something of a different twist this time around.

    Although I suppose it's just like Masuda to play it safe and stick to the tried and true formula of keeping everything the same as possible to the originals.

    Then if it's for newcomers, then it's our job as veterans to indoctrinate the next generation. I have twin nieces who turn five next February. I may decide to get the Switch and one of the versions so they can play Co-Op mode together or with one of their parents who has no idea what Pokémon is since it's pretty much me when it comes to Pokémon within the immediate family lol. These games though, if anything, encourages people that play Pokémon GO since that's the only way to get Meltan and it's Evolution. Anyone getting the game planning to use this new Steel Type?

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is exactly how you're supposed to do it! Why add a slight co-op feature if not to give your younger family members a way to play with you without overwriting your save file? :)

    Or, more likely, it's for parents who were into Pokemon when they were younger and now have kids they can introduce gently to the series, while still tapping into the nostalgia for the parent. I mean, it probably has a lot of functions, but I figure this is entirely why it's kind of a "dumbed down" introduction.
     
    ooh I like that the tower has the graveyard still, and the theme is a nice spooky update without being very different from the original!
     
    also no one in this thread has commented yet on the NPC that appeared in the trailer who actually legitimately looked terrifying

    not bad, Game Freak. seems like just from this trailer, you've still managed to keep the scary feel of Lavender Town to a T.
