Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee: Microtransactions Could Be a Massive Problem

Okay, Cool's Riley Little writes, "Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee are officially coming to Nintendo Switch, but how will microtransactions tie in?"

Huh? They haven't even said anything about microtransactions for those games. The only MTs I'm aware of are for Pokemon Quest, which is free so MTs are expected.

The author is talking about the MTs in the mobile game. MTs making it easier to catch pokemon in the mobile app and the mons being able to be transferred from mobile to switch game can lead to mobile players who spend on MTs an advantage is the argument put forth.

I get the point, but is there full on multiplayer in the new games?? I know there's co-op but if the usual competitive aspect isn't there then I don't really see this as a problem.

I don't think its anything to worry about to be honest, but good article! Gamefreak have only taken the capture mechanic from GO by the looks of things, battle system and other game mechanics looks intact. The peripheral is an amazing idea, I seriously cannot wait and think this will be the best Pokémon experience we have had to date!

I really enjoyed this article, it was a good read. This quote gave me a chuckle, because it's true!:

"Pretty much every JRPG involves the player’s characters going from barely being able to lift a sword to killing God"

LOL...exaggeration but I get your just making a point. No one can Kill God. Don't drink Satan's cool-aide he is just trying to recruit you (backwards recruit)

He probably only has the grape kind anyways. All the folk up in heaven surely hog all the good flavours.

Final Fantasy 15 the ultimate delayed game with delayed story dlc shoveled in at the last second. Doesn’t ring the gratifying bell when I see that stupid car at all. Article+thumbnail is like describing a 5star meal while watching your cat clean its backside.

More specifically I would say JRPGs are progressive gratification. Basically like listening to prog music vs anything else which imo is the best. Even if a JRPG is all about the journey, generally speaking JRPGs keep getting better as opposed to other games which usually have their high points come in either too soon, or the best parts just aren't nearly as impactful.

Also don't forget the direct comparison that the old Square Enix president made. He said Western players like TWITCH games and eastern players love Cerebral games. Now it was taken as a racist slam. But he meant it as one of the reasons outside of development time and cost return on investment(ROI). But he had a true point people here are TRAINED to like instant stuff. And people there are trained to like delayed over the top stuff. It is not a intelligence slam. I'm glad I LOVE the later gratification! Because it is way better!

I like JRPG's for the big anime tiddies.
