So by the looks of the overworld/"Wild Area" these games could be the most open-worldish pokemon has been and I'm all for that if so.
I was really hoping they would continue showing what the wild Pokemon is before getting into a battle with it like in Let's Go
And locked Pokémon from Gens 1-4 behind a game-beating requirement! Which is why I love BW1 as much as I do.
I'm also happy that it seems that character customization is back. Also, it seems like HMs are gone again. I hope these are just standard features moving forward. I know we have to battle to catch the Dynamaxed raid pokemon, but was there any indication that we'd have to battle all wild pokemon? I'm assuming it'll be the case again.
Let's go didn't sale very well(for a Pokémon game anyway). Hoping that means they're bringing back real wild encounters
In the trailers (or at least the first one) they show you battling wild pokemon so I'd say it's a safe bet that it's back!
No battling wild Pokémon in let's go made those games far too easy, and Pokémon games were already easy
Explains why I think the later gens of Pokemon look like garbage in comparison to gen 1 haha. Like, they don't even look like they're from the same world.. at least make a consistent art style. I'm obviously being picky and doesn't make me not want to play newer games, but the lack of consistency has always bothered me heh
Heh yeah I didn't watch the video closely enough I guess, I just saw the little clip of an exclamation mark showing up in the grass without showing who the Pokemon was. I'm not sure I understand why they show up in certain areas vs others
Really? In retrospect, I think Gen 1 is only ok in regard to Pokémon design. I wouldn’t say they’ve gotten better over time (Gen 6 is probably my least favorite in Pokémon design), but there are ups and downs in all gens. This feels like it’s cherry picking. Edit: I mean Gen 7 is my least favorite.
Idk, I feel like there's a very clear difference in art style even between the first two generations. It doesn't really bother me, but I'm just not a fan of a shared world having characters that look like they were drawn by completely different artists side-by-side
