It's something that none of the previous 3D games from Generation VI and VII really managed to do, to really show these Pokemon wandering around in their habitat. It's just so fun walking through the grass and then seeing Pidgeys flying around and Oddishes waddling around, or walking through caves and seeing Geodudes popping out of the ground and wandering around. That's honestly what probably sold the game for me, in spite of the pretty poorly-thought catching mechanism. And having the wild Pokemon actually move around on-screen after the pop out of the grass, Digimon World/Pokemon Ranger style, is nothing short of amazing. it kind of ticks the boxes of what I want from a remake. Like, I wouldn't say that it's revolutionary or anything, but I feel like it's basically similar to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in that it's. That said, though, once you get over that hump, Let's Go Pikachu is actually a decent remake. I honestly wished that there's an option to go for the more classic battle system. isn't the best, and it adds a whole layer of frustration to the whole thing. At least with the old system, each wild Pokemon encounter can feel different depending on your own Pokemon, y'know? Throw in the fact that the motion sensors for the Switch. Sure, you get experience points and shit for your entire party, but it's honestly such a bland and unrewarding experience to just throw the ball at the wild Pokemon without any sort of real change to what's going on. But playing through this game, I honestly really feel that there is absolutely very little incentive to grind and capture the random Pokemon in the wild. From that point of view, it's actually a pretty great marketing move. I understand the marketing reasoning for why they did it - Go is a very big game and perhaps the biggest break Pokemon's gotten since the original cartoon aired, and it is pretty smart, from a marketing standpoint, to at least attempt to draw in the new blood who may not have touched a real Pokemon game. it's admittedly a stupid decision and one that I am not a huge fan of, but let's get the rant out of the way first. so the game's basically a remake-plus of Pokemon Yellow, except they implement the Pokemon Go mechanics for Pokemon capturing, which is. But hey, yesterday I reached what would probably be considered the mid-point of the game, with Lavender Town and the Snorlax stuff, so I guess I have enough to talk about to have something to say on a let's play segment. The fact that I'm not really speeding through the story at all and just taking my time to quite literally stop and smell the flowers and look at the pretty new graphics is also a factor. and I honestly considered not doing a let's play at all, really. but I've been passively playing Let's Go: Pikachu on my Nintendo Switch over the past couple of weeks. Video gaming content on this blog has mostly been monster reviews and Hearthstone card talk anyway, but. well, basically a lot of random fighting games that don't really make for a good let's play. The last couple of games I played were Assassin's Creed II, Arkham Origins, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and. for forever, because, well, I haven't really been playing a lot of video games. I haven't done one of these text-based let's plays for.
