Since I've not seen a thread for discussing the main story and what it could potentially hold, I decided to go ahead and make this thread.
Here's my particular reason, though. Game Freak was very precise with how they've introduced the multiverse concept to the series, expanding it across two generations and three titles. It's clear this concept is not a one-off thing and they plan to continue it in some form. Thus, I go to the subject of Giovanni.
At the end of the Rainbow Rocket postgame in USUM, Giovanni teleported from USUM's Alola to another world, asking himself what world he should try his schemes on next. Even with Let's GO being a rather casual game and following the beat of Yellow, Game Freak has been ripe with wanting to input plot twists in these games. Therefore, I posit a couple things:
1. Could this be the Kanto that Giovanni is from? Could this be the world where Giovanni actually won?
2. Could this Kanto be the place Giovanni transported to? Could we perhaps get a mention from him upon the final battle that he's done this before? That he has "dealt with kids like you" before?
3. Could Let's GO's story have a mere nod to the multiverse concept, even if the overall story remains the same as Yellow? Could we get NPCs mentioning what if's or even confirming the occurrences of events in other worlds?
Those are just my thoughts on the matter of Let's GO's story. Feel free to respond, or share your own thoughts on what you think the overall story may hold.
