To be honest, I got quite disappointed with the Pokemon Let's Go~ iterations - therefore, I hope they'll come back to what I used to love.
And... Farfetch evolution <3
I'm with ya there. I'd been calling for a boycott of the LGPE games since long before they were released, simply because of their strong association with Pokémon GO (which is an awful app AND an awful 'game'). While it was a little satisfying to see people complain about how ridiculously easy it was, they still sold over 10 million of the damn things; so there's absolutely no way they're going to discontinue the Let's GO series at this point.
However, that could be a good thing; if it helps to keep the 'mainline*' series games relatively pure. i.e. devoid of the GO catch mechanics, and mindlessly simple challenge level. It'll be a potentially-interesting time for the Pokémon franchise; these next couple years. Seems like it'll either be a 'make-or-break' kind of situation, where they're fighting just to keep their core audience interested in their products; or a 'we'll-sell-millions-of-whatever-we-put-out-because-Pokémon' kind of thing. I assume the latter, honestly...
*I'm aware that the Let's GO games are considered by the developers to be official 'mainline' games. I use the term here colloquially.
