Pokemon Let's Go Games Already Underperforming?

Lets Go Eevee & Smash Ultimate are definitely my reasons that I'm going to cave and get a Switch; hopefully I have the money available when that Let's Go Eevee Switch console becomes available!

i hope the let's go pokemon games dont do well so they know to not dable with this style again

i would support this just for the sake of encouraging console games. i love handheld Pokemon, but there's just so much more capability for consoles.

... F*** preordering...

What's wrong with Jon's face?

YESSS!!thank you Jon im wanting a a Eevee switch combo

If they put cooler Pre-order bonuses.... Like a steelbook or add a plush. But No. A keyring and a pokeball plus as a bundle? It's a bit junkish

If they risks they took don't pay off, it won't be much of a loss. We just won't see anything like it again, which is really just a good thing.

I'm just hoping that this doesn't sour Nintendo on Pokemon overall. They need to do to Pokemon what Sakurai has done with Smash. Give longtime fans what they want and you will have enough money to buy the fuckin moon

I'm curious to see how many people are buying it digitally. I'm sure that what everyone's talking about isn't a pure indicator of how well it'll perform since amazon isn't the only place that's selling it, but I can see how you can draw a correlation between one of, if not the biggest retailer and pre-order numbers to get an idea on how many copies will be sold. I just think that a good portion of people are now buying digital so all the numbers that everyone throws around for pre-orders is getting heavily skewed in a negative direction.

I know it's too late now, but if they just changed the catching mechanic back to normal, it would sell like crazy.

Everyone says "just give the long time fans what they want," but there's like 8000 different subgroups of "long time fan," and absolutely zero of them want the same exact things. Personally, I look at this as a step toward the Pokemon MMO that people have been asking for for years: it's on console, which is nice, and there's co-op, which is great, and it even starts over at Gen 1, which everyone wants to claim was the best of all time. I can't wait to own it and sink dozens of hours into it; I won't pretend it'll take more than a couple of days to beat it since most pokemon fans know the Gen 1 maps like the backs of their hands, and I wish that online co-op was a thing so I didn't have to force a friend to coordinate their schedule with mine and be in the exact same place to play with me, but it'll still be fun. Hopefully, it sells well enough to encourage Let's Go 2 - a game set in Gen 2 and/or Let's Go Snap - a new Pokemon Snap that we desperately need. I'd even be happy about a Hey You, Let's Go! based on the original Hey You, Pikachu.
