Since the announcement of Pokemon Let's Go: Eevee and Pikachu, fans have been debating and contesting a lot of the changes this spinoff entry seems to be making. From the Pokemon Go integration, to the new way to capture Pokemon, and more, there's been no doubt that this game is trying to differentiate itself from the mainline titles. Now, according to a new update post on the Japanese Pokemon site, there's a new feature in regards to Gym Battles. Now, players can only pass when they meet set requirements. These range from having a certain Pokemon type, level, and other specifications.

It's not entirely explained if you only have to show these types of Pokemon to get through the door, or if you need to keep the Pokemon in your party throughout the Gym fight. But it certainly is a shake-up to the formula that could potentially get in the way of beloved Nuzlockes and other self-imposed challenges, like monotype runs. We'll be sure to keep you updated if more information is announced.

[gamesquest1]

great now all we need is a auto-walk and auto battle then we can just turn it on and leave it on the side and finish the game without straining the worlds apparent ever shrinking brain function

they chose pikachu and eevee because they are starters pokemon of Red and Blue respectively

 

[gamesquest1]

yeah but now we have 3 starters and picking only 2 would be very wierd lol well we can kill chicorita i guess everyone prefer cynddaquil and totodile

 

[Noctosphere]

well ash and gary from the tv series, which was then reflected in pokemon yellow

red =/= ash
blue =/= gary

plus, gary got squirtle, not eevee

 

[gamesquest1]

yeah Its been a while I was just thinking....oh wait that was just in pokemon yellow XD

 

[Noctosphere]

nah... I think you will either :
A : receive one original starter from some guy, but not oak
It would force us to trade online to get them all

or

B : We get all starter over the game like in yellow

I think that might not sit well with the target audience, I think oak will just give you all pokemon at the start

i mean to pick the name of the two games, even if you got all starters picking lets go cindaquil and lets go totodile and killing off chicorita name would be wierd lol.

 

[Noctosphere]

i mean to pick the name of the two games, even if you got all starters picking lets go cindaquil and lets go totodile and killing off chicorita name would be wierd lol.

haha lol
well, it might be what I predicted
theyll release Pokemon Lets go "Gold/Silver" as an expansion
you'll have to take S.S. Aqua to go to Jotho
and as for pokemon level, all your pokemon will get their level divided by 10 when travelling to Jotho
so, if your Pikachu is level 82 at kanto, it will be level 8 at jotho
and then, the story continues

Nah, it's Nintendo. They'll release 3 versions at start, if they have to, because they know people will buy all 3.

That's still arguably better than it was historically when you had to go out of your way to special events. Assuming you had them in your country.
