cant wait to accidently launch my joy con at the screen while trying to catch something

that's gonna be a thing again after the good ol' wiimote (aka destroyer of flat tv's) times

a bigger concern is going to be the amount of switch tossed when trying to catch a pokemon while playing in handheld...

Probbably goin to be like super mario party

i remember them saying something in the lines of having handheld but no motion

nope you still need to use motion to aim just press a button to throw the ball if i remember correctly

"In handheld mode with both Joy-Con attached - you are still required to move around to aim, but you press a button to throw the Pokéball."

oh, so it is going to be a switch tossing festival in the end! noooice

Just throw your switch directly at your tv instead of just the joycon

Just got Mario Party and I agree that it's very annoying not to have handheld

makes it feel more immersive to me and definitely to others

Kryzeth

I am buying it, but only because my brother is super into Pokemon Go. I'm keeping the Mew for myself, but I really don't think it's very good

Shiny

It is

Kryzeth

I mean, I haaaate the motion controls in this game. Handheld mode is soo much better

GonzoArmstrong

i wont be shocked if it works for the 2019 game too

Wafer

for those who have the money it isnt a problem

Kryzeth

And the pokeball won't fix that

Shiny

And by the sounds of its also way more gimmicky to use than the one joycon

GonzoArmstrong

nah i can play with my hand in my pocket pretty comfortably

GonzoArmstrong

i wouldnt say its gimmicky

Kryzeth

I feel like this game was made for handheld mode, not for pokeball or joycon mode. I don't think I can ever play it docked, just because the controls are so... awkward

Shiny

I could justify its price tag if it functioned as a universal joycon, but yeah $50/40 for just one game is too much

GonzoArmstrong

@Shiny what if it works for the 2019 game as well

Shiny

That'd be considered

Kryzeth

Buying something now for something it might work with later is a very good way to be disappointed later

GonzoArmstrong

i bought it because it was $85 for the game and the ball. the only way to get mew

GonzoArmstrong

and because i hate the joy con

Kryzeth

And because you dislike handheld mode?

Shiny

Thats reasonable, you paid it $25

GonzoArmstrong

handheld you get less xp for catching stuff
