General

The new Mythical Pokemon Zeraora has been officially revealed:






Zeraora is an extremely fast Electric type, even faster than many other already fast Pokemon. It's signature move is Plasma Fists, a physical Electric move with 100 power. Similar to Electrify and Ion Deluge, it also turns all Normal moves into Electric moves for the remainder of that turn.

No details yet on how Zeraora will be acquired. It will also play a role in the upcoming Pokemon movie as shown below:

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee are the new Switch games and can connect up with Pokemon Go, letting you transfer Pokemon over from Go. Their release date is November 16, and they appear to effectively be a remake of the original Red/Blue/Yellow games.

A few other details:
-They include local co-op
-No wild Pokemon battles, just throwing balls at them to capture Go style
-The game only has the original 151 Pokemon + some Alolan Pokemon, and one new one we haven't seen before which is available if you link to Pokemon Go
-You can't evolve your starter Pikachu or Eevee, like in Pokemon Yellow, but you will be able to evolve wild Pikachu and Eevee
-Wild Pokemon encounters aren't random, they're all visible in the overworld
-Following Pokemon are back as well, you'll automatically ride big ones while your Pikachu/Eevee sits on you instead.
-The Poke Ball Plus also available for retail will serve as both a joycon and also light up, vibrate, and makes noises imitating a Pokemon that you can place inside and carry around with you.

Lastly there will also be a new Pokemon game in 2019 as well which seems like it could be more like the normal titles. Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee were more designed with influences from Pokemon Go to help introduce Go players to the main series.

1st trailer for POKÉMON Detective Pikachu! Looks quite good

I never played Detective Pikachu, but I like the look of this.

With the trailer I have to say it's a bit of a toss up for me. I feel like it's either going to be a hit movie of the year or a pretty substantial flop but leaning towards the former moreso.

Let's Go Pikachu! and Eevee! are finally out as of a couple of days ago.

-Your starter Pikachu and Eevee won't evolve, but they have greatly increased stats to make them around par with final evolutions, and they have unique moves of various types. They can also be customized with different haircuts and tweak their look. Wild Pikachu and Eevee are still available to capture.

-Your trainer can wear different outfits and your partner Pikachu/Eevee will wear the same outfit to match.

-Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are still available to be given out by NPC trainers as they were in Yellow, and are also rarely available in the wild.

-It will also be possible to rematch Gym Leaders as well as the Elite 4 + Champion after beating the game, plus a couple of other familiar high level trainers related to Kanto will be available to fight. You will have to defeat at least 6 Master Trainers to get a certain one of these familiar trainers to appear at Indigo Plateau.

-Master Trainer battles are 1-on-1 battles where you have to conquer the other trainer using the same Pokemon as they use.

-Most Pokemon are caught Go-style, but with certain Pokemon like the legendary birds, you have 5 minutes to defeat them in a battle before it moves to the Go-capture screen.

-The EV system of boosting stats isn't available, but you can boost stats with Candy instead. Candy is obtained by releasing certain Pokemon, and you can also can get candy by capturing Pokemon as well as completing Play Yard mini-games in Pokemon Go Park.

-Pokemon abilities are unavailable in the game but they're still coded in (even for the new Pokemon listed below) so it seems those will still be available in the next Pokemon game in 2019.

-Mega Evolutions are available but they are all post-game except for Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise which are gotten after Cinnabar Gym.

-Alola Pokemon are also available via ingame trades. You have to trade a Kanto version of the same Pokemon for them - like a Grimer for an Alolan Grimer. You can repeat this trade as many times as you want to get multiples of an Alolan Pokemon.

Alolan Pokemon Trade Locations:
Alolan Rattata-Cerulean City
Alolan Geodude-Vermillion City
Alolan Diglett-Lavender Town
Alolan Sandshrew(p)/Vulpix(e)-Celadon City
Alolan Raichu-Saffron City
Alolan Marowak-Fuschia City
Alolan Grimer(p)/Meowth(e)-Cinnabar Island
Alolan Exeggutor-Indigo Plateau


-For a limited time, when you purchase a Poke Ball Plus, it comes with a Mew. This Mew is the only way you can get a Mew in the Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee games.



Meltan and its evolution Melmetal are the two new featured Mythical Pokemon of the game and are exclusive to those who have Pokemon Go. They are both Steel type. Meltan's ability is Magnet Pull and Melmetal's ability is Iron Fist. It's said they are made of liquid metal and can corrode & absorb metal as well.

To acquire Meltan, first you must transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, which will give you a Mystery Box. Open the Mystery Box to cause Meltan to start appearing in Go which you then can catch.

To evolve Meltan into Melmetal, it needs to be given 400 Meltan Candy in Pokemon Go. You can get Meltan Candy by catching or transferring Meltan, walking with Meltan as your buddy Pokemon, sending it to Pokemon Let's Go, and using Rare Candy. Melmetal also has the powerful exclusive Steel-type move Double Iron Bash.

I think it's a Yellow remake. I'm hoping it might get some DLC, maybe Gen2

Yeah it is, it's got the same Team Rocket from Pokemon Yellow who show up regularly as well. They aren't like they are on the show but they are like they were in Yellow. There might be DLC but at the same time they might also make a Let's Go version of Gold/Silver and onwards:
