What's going on boys and girls what's up we're all of Austin John plays here and
today we're going to talk about Pokemon let's go be catchy and let's go Eevee in
handheld mode also quick little news article first supposedly you're able to
preload let's go Pikachu let's go easy on your Nintendo switch before midnight
that means that you're going to be able to play it soon as the clock strikes
12:00 and then the game is unlocked also some people around the country or around
various countries I've already got in the game early I know China is already
released in early Netherlands Australia so there are people playing let's go
Pikachu and let's go Eevee and you soon will be one of them as well
so don't you worry don't you worry I know that I was riding the whole the
whole train of I don't think handheld mode is gonna be good
we're gonna be talking about every single feature that doesn't require
motion controls and how it works for handheld mode first thing is during some
of the battles to activate Pikachu or Evie's special partner power and to
speak to them in the overworld you would just shake your joy Kon but if you're in
handheld mode that's no did they map it to a buddy well I've now tried all the
buttons and I don't know how to see my partner
so if you're in tabletop mode or if you are in doctor mode you would just shake
your joy con and then you can talk to Pikachu and then you could also play
with them and stuff like that thanks but when you're in handheld mode
there's no I don't know a way to access that shaking isn't doing anything and
playing the game in handheld mode press the exponent open the main menu when
playing in handheld mode press the right stick to confirm a selection the right
stick - oh so our three acts like a for some reason for some screens you could
tap the touch screen to confirm a selection oh that's neat I don't see
like an on-screen prompt or there's not like touching a certain corner that's
activating my partner popping up holding none of the buttons does anything I have
no idea how I would access that and that's that becomes a problem because
that's the way that you initiate fly or you can open up your town map and then
select an area and then fly there Thank You Pikachu next we are going to be
talking about catching pokémon now normally you would use your joique on
you go like that full swinging motion Oh so this now uses
the gyro feature to look around at the Pokemon well that's now backwards so it
needs to face me sorry where to go found it okay it seems very shaky and then I
think I just tap a and it throws it I got a great throw just like that so in
the original trailer we saw someone that had to jerk it forward I want to see if
that would actually throw a Pokeball so let's be me playing casually in a chair
yeah nope that does not throw a Pokeball whatsoever Wow
you need to be really really precise really precise in order to throw that
polka ball properly if the gyro is centering you I'm gonna use the camera
as an example you're the Pokemon I'm the gyro feature if I'm facing there
if I throw the pokeball and I'm going for an excellent it's going to go there
and notice how that's not the lens of the camera instead you need to be
perfect you need to be right on top of it to hit that lens or hit that
excellent throw granted a great throw would be easier Pokemon shows up get
ready so the screen is calibrated for the get ready screen and then wherever
you look
yeah you need to be real on point real real on point
this isn't a bad thing not a bad thing when you're starting off the game you
don't experience Pokemon that jump around or move a lot in fact I would say
the one that moves around the most would be Jigglypuff cuz it just kind of floats
all around the screen it doesn't really hop around or anything but then once you
get to late game enemies great example of this is chancy's Pidgeotto x' those
Pokemon constantly move left to right and when you're using a single joy Kahn
it's difficult because you kind of only can throw it one of five directions oh
you found an item thanks buddy so the higher level enemies constantly move all
around the screen and they may jump so again this is the middle point they may
jump here and then jump here and your camera will automatically shift to here
but if they jump back twice it's now no longer Center and this is one of the
five points that you can throw your folk of all and this is one of the five
points and you can't throw it perfectly there you need to waste a ball throwing
it for them to break out for them to recenter early game it kind of sucks
because you're constantly trying to get that perfect calibration of that exact
center but when you're facing a higher level enemy there's there's a better
engagement going on because they're constantly moving around you get to
follow them moving around granted they're gonna keep moving when you throw
your pokeball so you need to plan ahead they're moving around here got it and
now you have the pokeball here and you go to throw it they're not gonna stop
moving so that you could throw it instead they're gonna keep moving
getting you a not perfect score so need to be careful of that it's also worth
mentioning that if you're very familiar with Pokemon go that the circle closing
is different in this game so in Pokemon go when you would throw the pokeball
soon as it left your finger the circle would stay where it is in this game it
doesn't constantly moves even when a Pokemon is
making the attacking motions and everything it's still constantly closing
and resetting so you need to be careful of that but uh yeah that is Pokemon
let's go Pikachu and Eevee in handheld mode does it suck
not really it's different what is it what is it what do you find oh you like
the scent of the flowers but you're you're literally just a hex nut on
liquid metal how do you smell things I personally am a big fan of throwing the
pokeball it's always gonna throw straight forward and you can activate
the the partner power there's some give and takes this game is definitely best
experienced in docked or tabletop mode in docked or tabletop mode and that
allows you to get a full experience of the game you can play in in handheld
it's a very different experience and just be ready for that kind of make
sense because there are some people who play primarily as handheld some people
who play primarily as docked there's only a select few that would play 50/50
both versions you usually lean more one way than the other but guys that's going
to be wrapping up this conversation about handheld mode at Pokemon let's go
Pikachu and let's go Eevee for the Nintendo switch guys if you haven't done
