Anyone playing it? I don't have a Switch yet but hope to have one by the end of this year, and this will be my first game. I have been playing since Gen I and really want to play this!

I'm of the same opinion. I hope this isn't the direction they're taking with the mainline series of games.I find it very boring that they removed the old battlesystem entirely which was like the only reason I was interested in the pokemon games (even as a now-way-past-my-age for this kind of game) in the first place, the rpg elements. Remove that and you remove my interest.
I'm sure 5 - 7 year old kids will love this one though where the old system is more of a hinderance (too complicated for the age group). Yea yea I know the real deal is still being worked on but I fear it's just matter of time when the old system disappears as this is much easier to maintain/develop and kids will love it just as much or more which is an easier group to please anyway.
Mine arrives Friday and I expect to have the same experience. I honestly only bought the pokeball for Mew. It still blows my mind that you could actually catch him in the originals if you did the correct steps in the correct order. Props to whoever figured it out. Mew was always on my want list so it'll be nice to get him without exploits or having to trade.Bought the Pikachu edition with the pokeball plus, played most of the weekend. Yellow was one of my favorite games, and this holds up quite well to that. Quality of life improvements like no HM's and no wild pokemon battles is pretty great, I don't miss either to be honest. The game got a nice coat of 3D paint and between the little events that take place, the great music, and the nostalgia kick, I'm having a blast. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a great way to relive a game from my childhood, plus the pokeball plus is pretty nifty with it's vibrations, lights, and sounds.
as a grown man... nope
I don't get the appeal to these games, they are over-cartoonized to look like the intended audience is 9.
AFAIK you could never get Mew in the US releases unless you went to the Pokemon store in NYC during special events. The correct steps you allude to only work in the Japanese versions.Mine arrives Friday and I expect to have the same experience. I honestly only bought the pokeball for Mew.

There have been times where I wanted to fire up Blue/Red/Yellow but then I remembered that there is a battery in the cartridge that went dead and my saves are gone. I haven't played a Pokemon since Heart Gold / Soul Silver so I'm looking forward to this.

Fair enough, but that is arbitrary code execution. I'll modify my statement to say there was no legitimate way to get Mew in the US versions outside of promotional events.Was curious and found this: https://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?135772-Mew-in-the-original-Pokemon-Red-and-Green
Some guy compiled some info halfway down the thread. It’s sort of vague among various threads I’ve read though.
No, it works on the U.S version:AFAIK you could never get Mew in the US releases unless you went to the Pokemon store in NYC during special events. The correct steps you allude to only work in the Japanese versions.

Even in Japan you had to either go to special events or use glitches to get Mew.It says "Glitch" right in the title.
