Lil more info on how throwing pokeballs will work in Handheld mode in Let's Go.

You move the system to aim, and press 'A' to throw.

Any other method of using the switch just requires you to flick the Joy-con. There are no ways, it seems, to throw the ball without motion controls.

Lotsa info on Let's Go thanks to E3.

1: All Pokeball Plus accessories come with a Mew inside the ball that you can put into your game. You can even hear it inside.

2: There'll be bundles for each game that has the game and the Pokeball Plus together.

3: The size of the wild pokemon you catch augments how much exp you earn. Bigger = Better.

4: Like in Go, Razz Berries reduce capture difficulty.

5: All party pokemon gain exp from Capture, with bonuses earned based on the capture quality.

6: Some wild pokemon have an aura around them. Red auras mean that it is bigger than usual, blue aura means it is smaller than usual.

7: The 6 Stats as we know them (Hp, Att, Def, Sp Att, Sp Def, and Speed) are all still present, as are natures.

8: Pikachu is no longer dead weight against Brock in Pewter Gym thanks to him learning Double Kick now.

9: CP is confirmed to just be a visual showing the overall strength of your mon.

10: You can switch your following pokemon at any time. It doesn't have to be in your first party slot.

11: New rival in this game: Trace. He is far friendlier than Blue was.

12: You must have a Water or Grass type in your party to even attempt Pewter Gym...the usual dude that's always at Gym entrances won't let you through otherwise.

13: To link up with others via internet or wireless, you need a Link Code. This works like in Go's raids where the code is a bunch of pokemon.

14: Go Park replaces Safari Zone. You can have multiple different Go Parks saved. Pokemon sent from Go to Let's Go will end up here. Interact with them to catch them. They can't be sent back.

15: The higher the CP of the Pokemon in Go, the higher its lvl will be in Let's Go.

16: Candy can be used to boost stats.

17: Oddish and Butterfree now appear in Viridian Forest.

18: You can catch wild Pikachu in Let's Go! Pikachu.....these Pikachu CAN evolve.

19: You automatically start riding larger pokemon like Onix when you set them to follow you. Large pokemon are also automatically recalled when entering an area too small for them, then re-summoned when space permits.

20: Few extra trainers in places they weren't before (like a second trainer in Pewter Gym).

21: Your starter, while riding you, acts as an Item Finder/Dowsing Machine...alerting you to hidden goodies in some way (Pikachu wags his tail).

22: You get items for defeating trainers and catching stuff.

((In other news: Smash Bros Ultimate will be the Switch edition of the fighting game franchise. EVERY CHARACTER THAT HAS EVER BEEN PLAYABLE IN A SMASH GAME WILL RETURN. Two new characters were also announced: Inklings from Splatoon, and Ridley from the Metroid series.))

Few more bits:

1: You can only send the first 150 Pokemon from Go to Let's Go (Bulbasaur to Mewtwo). This includes Alolan Forms. You can NOT send Mew if you earned one in Go. Buying the accessory is the only way to get Mew in Let's Go.

2: New lil side thing in Pewter where you have to watch a person's Slowpoke while they go in the museum. You'll be rewarded.

3: No more need to go to a PC to access your pokemon storage. YOur bag has the same function.

So with E3 and such died down...what do y'all think of Let's Go so far?

Me personally I like em and will give em a shot but I do have to call out one particular thing that made me go '...seriously?'

Why did they bother giving Pikachu the ability to learn Double Kick (which is VERY CLEARLY meant for Brock akin to FR/LG giving Charmander Metal Claw via lvl up)....only to tell us that we can't even attempt the Pewter gym without a Grass or Water type in our team? Kinda defeats the purpose of even putting Double Kick on Pikachu.

Other than that lil tidbit...I'm sure I'll have a good time! I got my games pre-ordered.

Its just hand-holding. Sadly, that happens a lot these days.
Hopefully the main series that will eventually come out will have less of that.

Yeah I get that, especially since these games are targetted at the Go crowd....but that won't stop me from scratching my head at that decision XD

I'm excited for Gen 8 myself. Can't wait.
