Will We See Other Generation Pokemon In Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee


    Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee is almost here, only a few months away to be exact, and Nintendo has given us a few new updates on what we will be seeing in the game. We saw how Kanto will look in the game also a few familiar faces in the form of Gym Leaders Misty and Brock, your rival Blue, and Jessie and James from Team Rocket. I'm sure with this and a look at gameplay we have this game figured out, except with one question: How will Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee deal with pokemon from other generations?
     We do know that all the original pokemon will be in the game since Pikachu and Eevee are both a Switch remake of Pokemon Yellow. What will be a big surprise is that we will be seeing the Alolan forms of some pokemon as well. The Pokemon company and Nintendo have been pretty mum on how they will treat the other 651 pokemon in the series. If the other gen pokemon will be implemented in some way,

Trading

This would be the most common way to have the pokemon from other generations be in the games. Let's go Pikachu and Eevee have been big on the idea of trading with a co-partner, friends, and online. Trading will require two Switches and a subscription to Nintendo's Switch Online Service. This is honestly how other games have dealt with including all 802 pokemon in games so it wouldn't be a shock if these games do that too. The only downside to this would be that it could only happen with Switch pokemon games which will be this and the upcoming Pokemon Switch game, unless there's a Pokemon Bank app for the Switch that's in the works.

In Game Achievement 

This has been done in a few remake sad well by having the player accomplish something in game and bam! You can now catch pokemon from other games. This will also most likely be how we will get Alolan pokemon as well. This was done in the Pokemon remakes, FireRed and LeafGreen and HeartGold and Soul Silver, where you can catch pokemon that came in later games in the post game or by completing the game or filling the National Pokedex.

DLC or Updates

DLC have been another way of how The Pokemon Company has been shoehorning pokemon into games. They could introduce certain Pokemon from another generation to be downloaded in the game or go the Pokemon Go route and release updates that will introduce generational pokemon all together.

Overall adding pokemon from other generations would be a hard thing to pass up as it would a great add to the game. What are your thoughts?
