[Let's Go] 'Let's Go' As A Separate Pokemon Series?

[RileyXY1]

I'm not a fan of this. It's just way too simple and easy for me to enjoy.

I personally don't mind if Let's Go series branched off and have a footing as a separate series while core Pok?mon games are still released, because I'm sure that if there are different games that caters to both casual and competitive side of gamers, it'll be a win-win situation. However, I also hope that there will be some remakes that are part of core games as well.

I totally agree! It'd be nice to see a new spin-off series rise. Even though it does seem simple and for new Pokemon fans, I think I'll always give them a play- it IS Pokemon after all.

I think it would be interesting if there's a casual branch. Perhaps then Game Freak will feel more free to make the core games the best they can be and address the concerns of the community as a whole without concern for losing out on part of the demographic. Personally I'd probably end up just watching a let's play on youtube, but it could work.

I'd be on board with this if only to have Cherrim following me around in Sinnoh.

But seriously, if the games are fun, I wouldn't mind more of them. I'd rather they be more original titles than rehashes of games we've played a bunch of times already. I'm hoping this game is less of a Yellow remake and more of an homage to it, with a different formula than usual.

We've had so many remakes, and Kanto has shown up in so many games across several generations, that it's just boring to go through the same old Kanto again. I'd love to see Kanto reimagined at one point, and I'd be glad if these games would be the ones to do it.

I kiiiinda hope LGPE is the only game of it's kind, to be quite honest.

How Game Freak should've done it is just release a Hey, You Pikachu-esque game; not only is it not dependent on region in particular, Game Freak/Creatures/Nintendo could easily send out free DLC whenever they're ready just for Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh/etc support.

This is likely to be a one time thing to get casual Go fans to buy a Switch just to get excited for subsequent Pokemon games.

If the gen 8 games end up being the "games of our dreams," full of content, appropriate difficulty, good story, and NOT like the "standard first games of a gen," then I'll say this was worth it. But if we end up with another XY or SM or DP, etc. as our first gen 8 games, then there's no point in splitting the games between "casual" and "hardcore."

I agree with the people who say DPP remakes should NOT be in this style as well. But something I wonder is how they can keep this up outside of Kanto. What two starter Pokémon can they use for gen 2? Espeon and Umbreon? What about gen 3, Plusle and Minun? It starts to sound silly. If they go back to "mascot legendaries" (Let's Go... Lugia and Ho-oh? Are we really going with them?), how will they handle your starter? Would you just never be able to evolve your Turtwig, your Treecko?
