The two games, which will be exclusive to Switch and launch this November, take players back to the Kanto region, where the original generation of Pokémon titles were set. During a conference call in New York with director Junichi Masuda, he described the games as almost a “remake” of 1999’s Pokémon Yellow — the final iteration of the first-gen Pokémon lineup.

Implementation of co-op play makes this a good couch game for switch, and some clear influences from Pokemon Go make this a decent one. Day one purchase for me.

I'm not even gonna pretend that I won't be buying this on day one.

I was wrong. I thought Nintendo would never release a core series Pokemon game on anything other than GameBoy / DS / 3DS / whatever is next.

Is a remake with second-rate mobile gameplay mechanics core series? I was getting excited for an announcement, and while this doesn't surprise me at all, I've got to say I'm disappointed. At least they say they'll deliver a real Pokemon game for the Switch in 2019.

Ah, OK. I thought it was a new one. Personally, I'm more likely to play this than anything "new". I like the first game but stopped playing after that. It just kinda got stupid and overwhelming with a million Pokemon. Having that goal of 151 and knowing them all off the top of your head was cool.

I totally agree. I was excited to revisit the original 151, but the Pokemon Go gameplay sours the deal for me.

I would be fine with Pokemon Go style capturing, but apparently there is no battle system for wild Pokemon. You just spot them and catch them. You do fight other trainers, though.

Motion controls.... I'll pass.

Im gonna pass on this. While the game looks great, the pokemon go gameplay ruins it for me.

But if I have to take a guess, we most likely are going to get gen 4 remakes next year and quite possibly gen 8 the year after? Or maybe gen 8 game first followed by the gen 4 remakes? I just have a harder time imagining them delivering the gen 8 games by next year.

Well it might give a few fat kids parents renewed hope that they'll lose some weight, that's something.

There's an awful lot of grown men in this thread excited for a game aimed at children.
