Nintendo has the gift of carrying everything it touches. I do not know what their creators eat, drink or breathe to go from Game Boy's "Pokémon Amarillo" to "Pokémon Let's Go". From an excuse to 20 years to enjoy the attraction of the first games and sell the Color version of the machine, to the latest revolution of the franchise.
This recent turn is no other than & # 39; Pokemon GO & # 39;, the famous mobile game that, two years after its launch, brings children and grandparents together in parks all over the world. All looking for this last bug that lives up to the phrase "Get all"That, finally, landed on Switch.
A story with more than 20 years behind them
& # 39; Pokémon Let's go & # 39; This was not the delivery requested by the community. The classic pattern we've been watching for over twenty years on Nintendo laptops, and the highest number of Pokémon, and it's not even original enough to offer a new story, it captures the many We already lived like children an eternity ago.
For more inri, the game was presented with a new mechanic that, with the apparent intention of taking the users of & # 39; Pokemon GO & # 39; from mobile to Nintendo Switch, wiped out one of the main premises of the franchise. Instead of weakening the Pokémon in combat to be able to chase it, simply point the Pokéball towards the insect and throw it away.
What in the mobile phones of nearly 380 million users works as a slipped finger on the screen is translated by throwing the ball with the remote control, using the motion detection system of Switch and with more subtlety but with the same force, the haptic vibration of the controller.
Nintendo converts what we used as a video game into a toy. From pressing a button to the act of launching. From the imagination of a 9 year old to a visual screen more alive and tangible than ever. That's when the new player and the old player get their hands on what it really means. & # 39; Pokémon Let's go & # 39;, when we discover that Nintendo knows better what the community wants than ourselves.
The new authentic Pokémon
With the leap of the saga on the 3D desktop, a step forward demanded for more than 10 years, the big N offers not only a new "Pokémon", but also the paradigm shift that will probably serve what will come in 2019 with the new canonical continuation of the franchise.
The piece is masterful. It's much easier to swallow with the changes you're proposing & # 39; Pokémon Let's go & # 39; because, facing the new user or the one who comes from & # 39; Pokemon GO & # 39;it is limited to growing what has been lived on the mobile screen with a more than proven formula. And in front of the player of all life, the nostalgia bottleneck of "Pokemon Yellow" is appetizing enough that he can swallow with everything else.
But not only the remake saw this sweet that was so good Nintendo. Accompanied by a panoply of improvements with which, more or less directly, the community dreamed of a barbarism of time:
- That special movements intended to advance us in history do not occupy an essential gap between the attacks of our insects.
- To be able to change our Pokémon team without having to visit a Pokémon center.
- The chance to escape by watching the animals run on the map and avoiding them.
- Include the option in a cooperative manner.
The changes that could have been introduced centuries ago but, since they were smarter than hunger or pure chance, were kept in a drawer until the time came to want to please the community. Make requests that we thought were already forgotten become this spoon manufacturing the plane that deposits the vegetable puree in the throat.
A stroke of nostalgia and love for the saga
But all this festival of friendly novelties would be useless if, basically, & # 39; Pokémon Let's go & # 39; It's a great game supported by very solid pillars. With the Kanto region and the first Pokémon as protagonists, the story from which they will divide series, movies and derivatives to become the franchise that generates more money in the world (even more than Mickey Mouse, Star Wars or Harry Potter), it's a very clever step that it's impossible not to want to applaud.
With the charisma of his two main Pokémon, a Pikachu or a Bishop who accompanies us at any time giving us the opportunity to personalize or caress them, the player embarks on an old adventure that continues to have the same strength as 39; before. The path of a hero in which, more than ever, the main idea is to capture as much Pokémon as possible.
As an old boy and father, I was fortunate to live with my son the rebirth of one of the star sagas of my childhood, throwing balls while they were combined in the air with a sound and light show. But these devices did not win me, but the brightness in their eyes to say "we chased him together", This transported me for a trip of more than 20 years with which it is very difficult not to get upset.
With a phrase that looks more like a slogan than a spiritual commentary, Nintendo has done it again. With a franchise that, based on repetitive formulas and a seeming lack of originality, seemed doomed to decline, explored the mud and won gold. & # 39; Pokémon Let's go & # 39; That's the game you did not know you wanted until you did not play it.
