Pokémon: Let's Go

[Geoffrey]

There's no battling wild Pokemon though. When you get into an encounter with one, you just have to throw a Pokeball at it, like in Pokemon Go. Seeing them roam around isn't my problem, just the fact encounters don't have battling any more.

This is my concern as well. I actually like seeing the wild encounters in the overworld and not randomly having to battle them. But I do want to actually battle them.  I'm curious how it will work when you get to higher-level/rarer Pokemon farther into the game. Like, how many balls am I going to have to throw and how perfectly do I have to throw them to catch Mewtwo or a legendary bird?  Also, can I "throw" by just waving my hand do I need to go full-on baseball throw? I want to play from my couch, stop making me be active Nintendo. *glare*

I'll probably get the game anyways, just to see how it is and get answers to my questions. I'll get Pikachu because I'd want to evolve Eevee and if that's not possible... Eevee's cute but meh for anything else.  This give me a reason to get a Switch anyways, try other games, and be ready for the main-line Pokemon RPG coming next year.
