Meanwhile the free-to-start title, Pokemon Quest, arrived on the Nintendo Switch (Nintendo eShop) yesterday. All about explorations (gathering ingredients for cooking in your bases and some other things).

It’s apparently arriving in June on mobile.

I tried it and found that not being able to control where the characters moved made it feel really weird. Also believe it suffers from the energy bar issue with free games where after a certain amount of playing you have to wait for a certain amount of time to recharge before continuing the game.

I'm okay with no online trading, just because it's not a core game. I don't mind gyro aiming (don't have to do the actual throw move). I think I could actually be into no wild battles, I always found combat to be the least interesting part of Pokemon, only fun against trainers.

I wouldn't say I'm sold on it, but interested. Hopefully they figure out how to add multiplayer to the core game as well.

It seems reports are now saying the game will have online battling and trading, and won't be a part of the Online Subscription service.

Interestingly enough the concept of the Let's Go games is growing on me. The no wild pokemon could possibly even be a good thing while I'll always hate gyro/motion I think I can live with it and the fact online is available is fantastic.

Best Buy as the ball and game bundle listed for 99.99 USD.

Amazon Prime members can pre order the game only for 47.99. (That’s what I did).

Hopefully the ball will be around the $50 mark so I can feel good about not getting the bundle.

I'm stupidly addicted to pokemon let's go played 30 hours in 4 days. I had no idea I'd enjoy it this much far and beyond better than Moon for me. Its not a perfect game but its addictive.

I reckon it's because it's a remake of an older, better game. The early Pokémon are so innocent and pure.

Let's Go is fun so far. I'm in the early goings. Handheld mode is much better than any of the TV control schemes. Pikachu > Eevee.

Can someone explain to me what a Nuzlocke challenge is?
