So, we just got some news on Pokemon Switch titles; 3 of them, in fact.
The first one is both a mobile game and a Switch game; Pokemon Quest.

The second is confirmation of the Let's Go: Pikachu & Eevee games.
The third is an announcement that a core game is set for the second half of 2019.

So, we get two spin offs to hold us over for the core game. What are your thoughts on this?
Personally, I don't care about Quest at all. The aesthetic does nothing for me. Let's Go doesn't do much for me, either; restricting it to Kanto, the most Boring region and generation, is very disappointing, it STILL has no free camera, and they went back to chibi-esque character models which, while it has its own charm, is a downgrade from Sun and Moon. Co-op play is actually really awesome, but only if it's not limited to local. If it is local-only, there's literally zero reason for me to care about it. Also, linking it with Pokemon Go is nice and all, but I never played that, so I don't personally care about that, either.
I know these are just to hold us over for the core game, but I'm still kinda disappointed. I wanted something on the core game, you know? And I REALLY hope that Let's Go is not an indication of what to expect from the core game. Give me open world free camera gen 8 or give me death!
