Pokémon: Let's Go

[Moonface]

I got Shira this for Christmas, and while I've not played any I do have one observation I'd like to share in regards to the capturing system.

If they stick with the method of capturing Pokemon without battling them first, EXP needs to be renamed as it feels jarring to see your party get experience for the trainer doing something they had no part in. However, that problem could just be avoided entirely if the next Switch Pokemon game takes a different approach to capturing Pokemon:

When entering a wild encounter, the player should have the choice to either weaken the Pokemon by battling it like in old games, and then doing the Pokeball throwing mini-game to perform the capture, or they can avoid the battle aspect entirely and just use fruit to try and increase their chances of capturing a Pokemon like it works in this game. It would also help to get EXP without having to capture Pokemon and then release them, which seems to be the only way you're going to be able to get EXP in this game when there's no one left to fight in the world.

I understand they went with just the capture aspect for this game because of its tie-in to GO, but I think the next best evolution for it is what I just said. It would appeal to players of the OG games while also keeping the approach this game takes without forcing anyone to pick one over the other.
