Earlier this week we were treated to some major Pokemon Switch news. We are getting a core Pokemon game, but in 2019. Never fret we are getting two games to tie us over until then. First we have Pokemon Quest which is an adorable 8bit 3D? beat-em-up. We also will have Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokemon Eevee.
According to The Pokemon Company, Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee is an enhanced chibi remake of Pokemon Yellow, which is done since it's based on the anime. If you can explain Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu it's pretty much your standard Pokemon game that we all know and love mixed with Pokemon Go. It even comes with a Pokeball that you can throw. Based on the trailer it does seem cool, but how will the game play seems to be a big mystery.
Since the game is largely based on Pokemon Go, it would be safe to say that a lot of the gameplay will be based on Pokemon Go. You don't battle with wild pokemon. Instead you throw poke balls at it hoping that you can catch one. What's also different is that instead of random encounters from the games, you can see the pokemon in the wild and in caves. You will probably get different pokemon showing up whenever you leave and re-enter an area or if you catch one, maybe rarer ones will appear if you catch enough.
You will have pokemon battles with gym leaders and other pokemon trainers as well as we see in the trailer where you fight a trainer on Nugget Bridge as well as a Team Rocket member. There will be trainers with different difficulty in the game so you may fight harder trainers later on on the game. There might be a possibility that you may be able to re-fight trainers with a harder difficulty level than previously like in the core games. Poke Marts and Pokemon Centers are in the game as seen in the trailer, so that will be a function instead of Poke Stops.
One question is how exactly will you level up your pokemon in the game. In Pokemon Go, you get candies everytime you catch a pokemon which works like experience points in the game. In Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee that mechanic might still work where it won't be exclusive to a certain pokemon, like getting Pidgey candy for catching a Pidgey. You may get candies or money so you can buy poke balls and other items in trainer battles as well. You can use money from trainer battles to buy accessories to buy outfits for Pikachu and Eevee.
This is all speculation. Nothing is official and I'm sure we'll find out new info as soon as Nintendo and The Pokemon Company updates us in the future.
