    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is an absolute delight of a game to play. It breathes fresh life into an otherwise relatively consistent franchise, in terms of mechanics. As someone who's played Pokémon as a child and was getting tired with newer iterations, such as Sun and Moon, this game gives new ideas a chance like other games haven't.

    While some would argue that they dislike the changes made to the game, compared to previous Pokémon titles, I feel as if most of the changes, that aren't simply just dropped content add simplicity and fun to the game. Reinvented Pokémon catching, while lacking battling, allows for much more fun, laid back catching of Pokémon. Personally, I've spent hours just catching Pokémon because of how much the more Pokémon GO like wild encounter system simplifies and takes tediousness out of the process. Battling wild Pokémon, while seemingly integral to a Pokémon game, now feels as if it was never needed. Battling trainers fills the void of wanting to battle, where wild Pokémon previously would just be used as a way to level up your current party. As well, the motion controls when catching wild Pokémon add a bit of goofy fun, where you'd think you'd be annoyed. On top of all this, the new way wild Pokémon are shown actively on the map, instead of randomly spawning battles in tall grass adds a sense of wonder to a Pokémon game that I feel everyone who's played these games since childhood would love.

    The only place I take issue with Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is where there's a lack of content. While this game is meant to play off of the original generation of Pokémon games, where not all features or Pokémon were around, the game has a very odd pick and choose mindset about what is or isn't in the game. A few examples of things from newer generations that are left in would be riding Pokémon, newer types and moves from current generations, or mega evolutions. But some things that just seem odd are confusingly not in the game. Pokémon can no longer hold items, similar to generation one, there's some missing online features such as wonder trade, only Pokémon from generation 1 can be caught in this game (excluding Alolan forms and a Pokémon GO specific Pokémon). I assume the lack of Pokémon is due to time constraints and working on the next years Pokémon game, but it would've been nice to at least have been able to transfer Pokémon from previous generations to this game.

    Overall, Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is a great game to play, and anyone who's a fan of the series should be able to appreciate what it has to offer, even if it may be missing some things you would have enjoyed. Regardless of the games shortcomings, the way the game adds a freshness to long-standing mechanics makes it more enjoyable to me, than it has been in a while.    … Expand

    Those who whine about the easier difficulty should go figure that this entry was made with newcomers in mind. It's a Pokemon game for the really little ones and their brothers, sisters, parents.

It's a Pokemon game for the really little ones and their brothers, sisters, parents. But one that has some surprising difficulty to it later on in the story. I hate it when people decide to destroy scores based on their entitled notions of what they believe this game should be to them. So I wrote this to say that if you're a parent with a small child that likes Pokemon Go, it's a blast to play this together. It's Kanto of old with some fun new twists thrown in, and having Eevee or Pikachu with you feels amazing. It's like playing the anime. Don't listen to the manbabies that think every game should catter to their crystalized taste of what a Pokemon game is. I've had loads of fun with Sun and Moon, but also with this simpler entry, and I don't even have kids. But I can still appreciate it for what it tries to do. And since Nintendo will introduce the next chapter of de main series next year, I don't really understand what these people complain about.

    A lot of critics say that the main series is more complex than this game, they also say that Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee feels like a spin-off with an easier approach to its systems, one that might be cool for new players who think Pokemon Sun and Moon are too daunting for them to get into. They are right. And I want to extend a hand to those players, who love Pokemon Go, and want to try something a bit more hardcore, but not as much as the mainline RPG games. This is made for you, but also for those who like Kanto and gladly see it in HD on the big screen. Honestly, this game is polished as hell, it's not bad or broken in any way. It's loads of fun too, but it's just different from what we're used to with Pokemon RPG's. And that is fine.    … Expand

    Not sure what the hate is all about, it's a fantastic game with beautiful graphics and a fun to play adventure. I really enjoyed this game and will probably buy this for my brother who is in middle school.

    Older Pokemons were way too complicated with the various systems like EV, Breeding, Random Elements, and natures. This takes away all of that and makes the game much more accessible.

    Good Standard pokemon Game.

    Some features: Wild battle are now direct capture like pokemon go. While this sounds bad on paper, this make the overall process a bit faster, much more comfortable, and there is a new "chaining" mechanics that allow you to catch multiple time a pokemon, to get Higher IV and shiny chance, so you can always revisit old zone to build your team, instead of    Good Standard pokemon Game.

    The story and game progression itself is like the original Yellow, you get your snowflake pokemon with inflated stats and can pretend to be ash like in the Anime, feel free to remove it to give the game the "normal" difficulty.

    The pokemon now follows you! they can pick up items, some of them have unique interaction and overall make the pokemon world feel more alive.

    Online stille there, but limited to simple trade with randoms using a code(or a friend if you put the same one) and simple and double battle

    Competitively, it's only gen 1 with alola pokemon, and minor moves changes, not as deep as other main game pokemon, but you get the basics, No abilities or held items.

    The game is fun and relaxing overall, don't expect something grandiose, if you are nostalgic and like kanto go ahead, and if you have kid you can have a fun co op experience.    … Expand

Being able to explore the world of Pokemon with the creatures actually moving about, being able to throw Pokeballs at them (like I already pretended to do when I was a tiny nerd), and revisit the region where it all started in a full console setting... It was a dream come true. As a reimagining, this game did not fail to disappoint in the slightest. All the classic tracks redone in a BEAUTIFUL orchestra, every trainer and route identical with the only changes to the game being small quality of life improvements (aside from Safari Zone, we all still miss it), and the iconic moments were all redone with cinematic cutscenes to fully flush out what a masterpiece the original games were. Even the named characters intros and facial reaction paid detail to showing their personalities and really making them pop out even amongst the already detailed NPCs.

    If you're someone who's like me where catching the Pokemon, the story, and the world always meant so much more than competitive battling, you will not regret this amazing game. We didn't 'go back to Gen 1' with this game, Gen 1 came back to us.    … Expand

I found the Pokeball Plus to be the best controller for capturing followed by handheld then Joy Con, and the ball has been my main choice for playing. The additional trainers to battle, as well as the postgame Master Trainers, adds a good amount of content to an HD presentation of Yellow. And if you have someone who wants to jump in, co op play adds a way to enjoy the adventure together. Overall, I absolutely recommend this to any fans of the series, old or new.… Expand

    First I would like to state I don't normally write reviews on a product but I felt this product had too many reviews that were uninformative. Second I would like to state if you did not play this video game you should not review it. Third this is not a main Pokemon generation game. Pokemon have many side games and remakes this is just one of them.

    Now to the review- I started out    First I would like to state I don't normally write reviews on a product but I felt this product had too many reviews that were uninformative. Second I would like to state if you did not play this video game you should not review it. Third this is not a main Pokemon generation game. Pokemon have many side games and remakes this is just one of them.

    Now to the review- I started out with the mindset that this game would be bad. I love Pokemon and so I tried the new game and it took me by surprise. I love what they did with the game, the world feels alive. You walk to an area and Pokemon are walking and flying around just like you would imagine in a real Pokemon world. I can now choose who I would like to catch. They use the Pokemon go system when catching Pokemon and you can use different balls and bait to make it easier to catch. You can get rare Pokemon to come out with lures and with increased catch combo. You get XP for catching Pokemon based on the catch and size. Pokemon battles are the same as all games you give people the stare and they walk up to you and battle. The game has tons of Pokemon trainer battles and not all of them are easy. I found myself preparing and changing my Pokemon out to counter what types of Pokemon the other trainer had. I find that in most gen Pokemon games I don't even have to counter as long as my Pokemon are high level I just wipe the floor with them so this provided a bit more of a challenge. You also don't have to walk to a PC anymore you can switch Pokemon anytime in your inventory which I like. I also felt that we had more interactions with our Pokemon since they didn't have to stay in a ball the whole time. I liked playing with my eevee and dressing them up.

    This game isn't perfect though by any means but no game is. I had issues with the catching controls at times. I preferred just playing it with the controllers attached rather then using them separate from the switch since it was easier to control. The story is a bit lacking but it is a remake of the first game which didn't have much of a story anyways. I would have liked to see some other gen Pokemon but they do have the Alola remakes of the first gen which is pretty cool. Also like most Pokemon games all the NPCs look the same. Also I think that we should have been allowed to take eevee or pikachu out of party if we wanted. I think the price is a little high for the game and I would recommend if you have trouble with finances to maybe buy it when the price goes down.

    Overall though I was able to immerse myself in this Pokemon world. If you are someone who hates the Pokemon go mechanics or someone who has to have that battle sequence during the capturing then this game is not for you and it was never marketed towards you. If you love Pokemon and love the Kanto region then give this game a try you might enjoy it.    … Expand

    La primera vez que anunciaron el juego lo primero que pensé es que la saga tal y como la conocía había muerto, el éxito de pokemon go habia terminado por enterrar lo poco que quedaba en la saga que podria atraerme. Me equivocaba.
    Estos juegos son un spin off de la saga principal a la verz que un remake de pokemon amarillo con mucho potencial.
    El nuevo sistema de capturas tan criticado por muchos si bien no es perfecto, resulta un soplo de aire fresco para jugadores que como yo, ya estaban cansados de tener que enfrentarse a centenares de zubat cada vez que atravesaban una cueva. Ahora puedes elegir si enfrentarte a un pokemon o no, y no es necesario pasarse las horas en la hierba alta huyendo de combates para encontrar el pokemon que buscas. Aún así, no le veo mucho sentido a tener que capturar cientos de rattatas para que tu equipo suba de nivel, hubiera sido genial poder elegir si combatir o no.
    A nivel de historia es pokemon amarillo excepto porque no lo es. El desarrollo es practicamente el mismo que en el original aunque con algunos cambios. Lo más notable el cambio de protagonistas, esto para mí es un gran error. Todavía no ha existido ningun rival a la altura de Azul (Blue, Gary...el nieto de Oak), realmente a todos nos encantaba odiar a ese pequeño bastardo que siempre iba un paso por delante. Ahora tenemos a un compañero graciosete sin demasiado carisma y de nuevo excesivamente amistoso.
    Una de las cosas que más agradezco es la desaparición definitiva de las MO, esta vez de una forma para mi gusto más elegante que la empleada en sol y luna, el lugar de andar alquilando monturas, será nuestro compañero (Eevee) quien las realice, sin renunciar a ningun ataque por ello.
    Quizá para mi el mayor punto en contra es la conexión con pokemon go, no aporta nada más allá de servir para romper la máquina llenando tus bolsillos con decenas de legendarios y ponkemon shiny, haciendolos menos valiosos.
    En Resumen:
    Pros:
    +Nuevo sistema de captura con potencial pero al que le falta mucho para ser perfecto
    +Gran banda sonora para los nostalgicos, nuevas mezclas de los temas originales ahora instrumentadas
    +Adios a los exclavos de MO
    +Kanto luce mejor que nunca
    +Guiños a las entregas originales
    Contras
    -Pokemon go solo sirve para romper la maquina
    -Ya va siendo hora de un selector de dificultad
    -El sistema de capturas necesita unas cuantas mejoras
    -Me gustaría poder elegir si capturar o combatir contra los pokemon salvajes
    Conclusión:
    Pokemon Let´s go no es esa rebolución que todos esperamos en la saga, pero es un enfoque diferente y entretenido. Merece la pena darle una oportunidad    … Expand

IT's understandable they don't have breeding as You are LIMITED to only the 1st 151 pokemon + Meltan and Melmetal. The Lack of a safari zone is a little on the rough side, but the entire game is a safari zone.
    Honestly, though this game does a few things right. It makes a situation that old time Pokemon Fans and Pokemon go Players can just jump right in. It also brings in the ability to re-battle gym leaders and omg it brings in Green. Honestly petting Eevee in this game felt like another pokemon amie session. Not saying that's bad, as eevee is adorable in this game. What this game lacks in some features is offset by the careful craftsmanship and attention to detail in this game. Yes, it's a Yellow remake and a faithful one of that. You didn't have a bunch of other pokemon clouding you in you didn't have abilities to worry about. You just play the game.
    I didn't like the rival, but it was fun picking on the guy. It felt like a role reversal. He felt like Hau. I personally named him after some of my friends just so I can pick on them saying I'm beating them. As he was just too much of a friend and not enough of Blue or Silver. Speaking of Blue you do run into him and battle him which is great, and honestly, his attitude isn't really changed. he still the same smug ****
    I would recommend and have recommended this game to anyone that I believe would have an interest in it. It's a charming game, and a great entry point for new pokemon fans.    … Expand

    Having played the Pokemon games all my life since they were first released on a Gameboy, I feel like this was the first time I had played Pokemon in years.

    Why, you may ask? Well over the years as I learned to use the various game mechanics (IV'S EV'S etc.) to my advantage, all the Pokemon (even new releases) just became numbers for me. They didn't feel like Pokemon anymore. I didn't feel like I was playing a Pokemon game, instead I was just playing a numbers game where you could replace the Pokemon with static stick men and nothing would change.

    This game was a refreshing change in that it removed most of the numbers and made the focus on catching Pokemon (You know, gotta catch 'em all, and all that?). I felt like a kid again, I felt like I just wanted to catch them all just because I could, and not just because I felt I needed a specific stick man for breeding to get some specific skill for another stick man.

    The game however was a bit too easy, but it didn't really bother me because I was having fun, honest to god fun. Something I hadn't experienced in ANY game for a long long while. Just good old fun with no calculating optimal stick figure builds or the weight of the world weighing down on my shoulders. I was on a journey with Pokemon, and that's all there was to it.

    However as much I liked this nice little break between Pokemon games I still feel the next game should be a more traditional game. This game, even though I did enjoy it as a nice break, should indeed stay as just a break from the usual formula. There's just something about building the perfect stick man. Something other games can't really nail down.    … Expand

    Do not be deceived by the ridiculously low scores given by other reviewers. While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, to say this game is a 0 or 1 is absurd. I do have my complaints with the game, but I found a lot of the deviations from the norm refreshing.

While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, to say this game is a 0 or 1 is absurd. I do have my complaints with the game, but I found a lot of the deviations from the norm refreshing.

    First, I'll address the issue that the game is too easy. Yes, the game can be relatively easy, but like other installments, it is only as easy as you decide to make it on yourself. I ditched my starter at the earliest opportunity and completely disregarded the component of interacting with it. Eevee certainly was uncharacteristically strong. In addition to not using Eevee in battles, I maintained a large roster of Pokemon that I switched out frequently. Because XP was easier to come by, I was able to keep more Pokemon leveled for battle than I have in any previous games without grinding. In past games, I have been somewhat limited to 6-8 Pokemon, and often had to grind XP by battling wild Pokemon in order to keep them at the appropriate level. This time, I ended up with a roster of 16 or so Pokemon over level 50 by the time I reached the Elite Four. In the past, I've always felt I had to choose between abandoning the use of certain Pokemon or spending hours grinding to maintain their levels. If you're a fan of maintaining a large roster, I think you'll really enjoy this aspect, like I did. By having a large pool of Pokemon to choose from, I was able to customize the challenge i faced in battles. Against Blaine, I could choose to take Blastoise, Seadra, Sandslash, and Rhyhorn, or for more of a challenge I could take Vileplume, Venomoth, Venusaur, and Dewgong. Or any combination of these and my other numerous Pokemon to suit my taste.

    Next, let's talk about changes in mechanics. Lots of people have complained about many of the changes, so I'll start with what I like. The fact that random wild encounters are virtually eliminated is big improvement in my mind. Sometimes wild Pokemon will dart at you, but for the most part, you can choose whether to encounter them or not. This eliminated the sense of dread I've felt in the past from wandering around areas with wild Pokemon by having to constantly run away from the millionth Rattata or exhaust my PP Thunderbolting the millionth Zubat. I will say that it would have been nice if you had the option to either battle or try to capture wild Pokemon. It would be easy to implement and people could take it as they liked it. Players have been clamoring to take their Pokemon out of Pokeballs and ride them since I can remember, and they finally gave it to us. This is just one of the many ways that they made this game feel immersive. Lastly, the built-in Pokemon rater was a nice change. It removed the need to use a calculator to determine IVs or unknowingly draft a low quality Pokemon on to your team.

    And now for my criticisms. The severe shortage of double battles feels odd, particularly since they are in the game, but only a handful. It seems like they wasted their time building in this mechanic only to barely use it at all. The only removed mechanic I found myself missing was abilities. I think they were a huge improvement when they were introduced. I realize they wanted to make the game more accessible, but I don't think that would have been hampered too much by the inclusion of abilities. Perhaps they could have made them visible by announcing them. Haunter is levitating, ground attacks will be useless, or Raichu is absorbing electricity, electric attacks will only make it stronger. Something like that seems preferable to removing them altogether. Lastly, I have no desire to pet or play with Eevee. I appreciated the fact that the game didn't try to force me to do this, but I guess it's there for people who wanted to do it. This was, at worst, a minor annoyance that I easily disregarded. Although I didn't battle with Eevee or level it, I have seen the names of its moves online, and I have to agree that they are ridiculous and overly silly. I guess they just planned to include them for this game and didn't want to use any names that could be reused for an attack later, but it still seems like they could have erred on the side of not silly.

    Despite its flaws, I found myself continually wanting to pick this up and play it. There is a certain je ne sais quoi that kept me coming back. I really liked many of the improvements and hope they implement some of the changes in future installments. Hopefully, Game Freak takes this as a learning experience and keeps the good and eliminates the bad. All in all, I am glad I played it. It was a lot of fun, and in many ways the Pokemon experience I've been craving since I was 10.    … Expand

    While certainly not "Game of the Year" material, both "Eevee" and "Pikachu" are delightful games. Speaking as someone who hasn't played a Pokemon game since "Yellow" was brand new, it is a great way of re-introducing myself to the franchise. And, just as importantly, it will be a great way for me to introduce my niece to the franchise in a couple years.

    I did enjoy the motion control for the ball throwing despite some occasional gyro misalignment glitches here and there. Despite my personal thoughts on how to improve the catching mechanics (such as a "Perfect Throw" ring when it's really small), everything works well and actually fits the game nicely.

    The Safari Zone being reduced to nothing more than a "Pokemon Go" interface did hurt and I do miss the threat of a wild battle happening at any random time when exploring, but the game as a whole is still an enjoyable time killer. The only real legitimate complaint I have is the $50 pay-wall for Mew which will likely prevent me from getting 100% PokeDex because I'm not buying an expensive peripheral for one game. Made that mistake for "Guitar Hero".

    It has some nice complexity with the IV system for the late gameplay if you want to pursue those areas.

    I wouldn't mind seeing them do the other generations (2-current) so I could give them a try without having to invest in the older consoles/games.

    If you played the older games (Red/Blue/Yellow) then, chances are, you'll enjoy this game too.
    If you're new to the franchise, it's a good way to dip your toes in without feeling overwhelmed while also offering the chance to further explore some of the earlier complexities.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started with red version and played through the series until heart gold and soul silver then life got in the way. I came back to the series with pokemon go and have played halfway through let's go. I love complex games with a lot of depth. Yes, this scaled down, only because it's a remake of a basic game, but it keeps me interested and I haven't gotten bored.

    These "hardcore fans" leaving biased reviews is ridiculous.

    This is a fancy remake of Pokemon yellow. If that's not your cup of tea, stop here and don't play it. Of course this remake has some extra features that emphasizes catching pokemon in a "Gotta catch 'em all" game. I welcome it.

    The catching mechanic is basically the only thing brought over from pokemon GO and it is a welcome change to grinding out battling and catching wild pokemon in other versions. The catching mechanic makes grinding more enjoyable. I am able to level up my pokemon as well as look for the pokemon with stats and natures to actually build up a strong party. To what end? Personal fulfillment and online battles. I haven't battled online so I am unsure what that is exactly like, I just know there is no global ranking.

    From what I have seen in the game so far, your items like calcium, hp up, pp up, iron, etc have all been replace by different candies obtained from catching pokemon and transferring to professor oak. This replaces grinding to collect money to buy those items with grinding to catch pokemon.

    Due to the catching mechanic and the desire to build a great team and just find shiny and strong pokemon, i often find myself distracted from the main story to catch pokemon in a random spot.

    Pokemon appearing in the overworld is awesome.

    Yes, I do miss hold items and breeding, but there are still natures and an abundance of pokeballs. The mechanics of leveling pokemon as you look for your specific natures and IV's replaces the need for breeding. It's wonderful multitasking.

    I haven't finished the game so I only the post game content involves the master trainers which would have you level up each species to battle and claim the title of master trainer for that species. But it doesn't sound lacking. I hear people still say crystal's battle tower is still the best post game content.

    I do wish the region was larger, but it's a remake of yellow so what more can you expect? As much as I wish for a bigger region, online matchmaking (still not sure how online battles work), hold items, etc. This is a wonderful remake of pokemon yellow with new features that I hope make it into the 2019 gen. Pokemon Let's go is a testing ground to refresh the pokemon series. Nintendo chose a solid platform to test new mechanics. I call it a successful test.    … Expand

    The music was a large orchestra arrangement of all of the original tracks, most of which sounded great, some of which didn’t really hit home.
    Some cons: having only the original 151 plus 2 more is a bit disappointing, however if generation 8 looks anything like this, then I won’t have this problem. I wish there was more to do in the post game, especially since I payed $60 for it instead of the usual $40. Sure the master trainers are cool but grinding to face them was a chore. I just did 6 so I could face red. Because it was a remake of yellow and not leaf green or fire red, I do miss the Orange Island plotline we got. Post game, dragonite, charizard and Aryodactal can be riden in the sky and can fly over obsivcals. This makes the game must faster, however, you need to get off to interact with anything including going into houses and going across routes with a gate. This means you need to open your menu, select return to poke ball, land, go to where you need to go, open your menu back up and select follow just to move around quicker.

    Surprises: not being able to evolve your starter never bothered me because of how strong they actually are. I boxed my eevee pretty early on and took him back out for some post game and he was still kicking ass. I thought I would hate the wild catching system but I actually kind of love it. Sure the motion controls are not great but this style of Pokémon was decent. Seeing the Pokémon in the overworld felt nice and gave more personality to the world you’re traveling in. I thought I would hate the rival but I didn’t. And I didn’t miss held items and abilities as much as I thought I would.

    Biggest complaint would be the Pokéball plus being the only method to catch mew. I’m not spending $50 just for mew    … Expand

I never got to play Pokemon Yellow, but after speaking with several of my friends they see the similaraties and definite improvements. This game makes playing and catching in the Kanto region very exciting! I give this game a 10!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game isn't nearly as a bad as the mob of users review bombing it would look you to think.

    The game certainly isn't what most fans are used to, and if you're not from the Gen 1 days, it'll take a bit of getting used to. However, even with its flaws, it certainly proves to be an exciting and fun experience.

    THE GOOD
    - The graphics are absolutely incredible, and the best the series has to offer thus far. The are still a few cheap moves with shadowing on certain pokemon (Cloyster), but it is minimal compared to the achievements.
    - Linearity is almost nonexistent, with the region opening up rather quickly, offering a great deal of freedom for players. Half of the gyms can even be battled out of order, a first since Gold & Silver.
    - Much of the hand holding that existed in Sun and Moon is absent in Let's GO. Much like the original Red & Blue, you'll have to learn as you go if you're new to the series. However, the game is simple enough for newcomers to grasp its mechanics rather without much strain.
    - (SPOILERS AHEAD) Gym Leader rematches have finally returned! In addition, such rematches offer easter eggs leading into the lore of Gold & Silver, including Blue becoming the gym leader of Viridian City after Giovanni's departure.
    - The story, while mostly the same as Yellow, offers a few new treats that is sure to please older fans.

    THE BAD
    - The capturing system is rather flawed, and can easily become annoying. Its inconsistency can to it rewarding terrible throws and punishing good ones.
    - The online system is 'friends only' making general battling almost impossible. This can prove troublesome for competitive players and those who just want good clean fun without hassle.

    THE NEUTRAL
    - The game's difficulty, while relative features are optional, can still prove abysmal for most players. Through careful planning does one ensure a truly challenging experience. However, for a nice fun game, not much needs to be done.

    Overall, while Let's GO isn't something most fa will be scrambling for in the future, it definitely made for a wonderful experience even if only for the next 12 months. But hey, if you truly are on the fence about the game, there's always the 2019 title. :)    … Expand

It's "main quest" is not grindy, and can be beaten with little to no extra "training" along the way. The end game content however is very tough and grindy, which is something experienced Pokemon players know and mostly love.

    The reason for the reveiw bombs is simple, many old Pokemon players feel contempt for Pokemon becoming "main stream". As a competitive pokemon player told me, he didnt like how pokemon was becoming "cool" when he used to get picked on for liking it. He said that the same people who used to bully others for liking it, are now fans. He didnt like that pokemon was becoming accessible to everyone. The bad reviews arent because of a bad game, it's because old school pokemon players feel threatened by this wave of popularity and newcomers into a franchise that they feel was only made for them, not everyone else.

    As a pokemon fan who played the originals, fell off, and is now returing, I welcome these changes and the wave of popularity. Pokemon is meant to be enjoyed by everyone, not enjoyed by a few "elite" players.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is a creations from the ball throwing and Pokemon finding of Pokemon go. the region design of Pokemon red,blue,green,yellow,fire-red and leaf-green. as well as the spice of the being on the switch with the new and improved graphics, it also gives some trainers a new design and gives us some trainer of which we have seen in earlier games make cameo appearances

    Game-play

    think Pokemon go with a either a left or right joy-con instead of using your finger on a phone to throw a poke-ball. It is quite nice to see them shake up legendary battles with having to beat them in a normal battle within 5 minutes and then try to catch them. this adds a little bit of ideas into battling while also making true to the old ways of trying to catch them in a battles. it was also nice to see Pokemon follow you again which we last saw in gen 2 remakes on the DS

    Story
    think a reboot story of Pokemon yellow but with new modern flares. such as old characters from different generations. an example of this is Archer from generation 2 who you battle quite a few times. you travel through the kanto region trying to get all 8 badges and stop team rockets evil plans. it gives a bit of spice into the old story since we no longer have HMs so the partner Pokemon can learn them and it doesn't take up move slots.

    Pokemon
    The only downside of the game is that it doesn't have any Pokemon past mew. it then succeeding in redeeming this via the 2 new Pokemon meltan and melmetal and alolan forms. this saves some Pokemon from uselessness as well as adding the only few dark types in the game (alolan meowth line,alolan grimer line, and the alolan rattata line). the only re problem with the game is no GTS and not Random battles on the online service

    Overall

    While many people would say the game is very easy and for casuals, I would very much disagree. The difficulty of the game has switched from battling and random encounters to physically catching the pokemon. The game gives ample supply of pokeballs to toss, however there is a skill gradient that comes from learning the way each pokemon moves and how to predict it's movements.

    Do not allow the review bombing to dissuade you from purchasing this game and testing it out for yourself. While there are flaws that exist in the game, I would say that the game comes out to a net positive with all of the neat ways they reinvented the Kanto region!

    I'll start by saying that I've been a hardcore fan since the beginning.
    When Let's Go was announced, my initial thought was "meh, looks ok I guess". After having it and playing though, its literally probably the most fun I've had in a Pokemon game IN QUITE A WHILE. Yes it's true that there are features missing that the original main series games have, but let me say this: This. Is. Not.    I'll start by saying that I've been a hardcore fan since the beginning.

Yes it's true that there are features missing that the original main series games have, but let me say this: This. Is. Not. A. Main. Series. Game. At all.
    This is the in-between spinoff filler game that we get while we wait for gen 8. This is an entry-level game designed specifically for parents/kids/genwunners that started or got back into the franchise with Go.

    It literally isn't designed for longtime fans, but it has the nostalgia kick that will still bring them in. Not only that, but the features it lacks from the original, it more than makes up for with all the new features it adds.
    And there are a lot, with most being what people have been requesting for a while! (following pokemon, overworld flying, buddy pokemon, overworld encounters, it goes on).
    Not to mention, the features it lacks from the original make sense for what it is (a which is, a Go combo game). Personally, I love when Pokemon steps away from its usual, redundant formula. This game is like a vacation to me.
    The fact that I can skirt around an encounter is fantastic, and this is the best game I've played for shiny hunting so far hands down. I love having Pokemon following me again and hell I even like the Pokeball controller. To me, its reminiscent of the HG/SS days.
    Its an easy game, because again, its entry level and wasn't meant for you. Its obviously designed to be super casual, NON-COMPETITIVE, and with young kids in mind. I would still even love to see some of the features return for a main series. It just blows my mind how veterans are having such bad reactions, because honestly, what did you expect?

    Is it a cash grab? Absolutely! Thats Pokemon's entire marketing scheme. Does it work? Absolutely! The sales on the games are doing extremely well. Why is that necessarily a bad thing?

    The point: Don't write off the Let's Go games just because people are being negative nancys. Its fun. Let people enjoy things.    … Expand

I decided to give them a chance for the "junk game," as many people said, and I discovered that they were just blind haters. Because when playing, I was excited. My niece had Let's Go Eevee and as I played, I was overwhelmed by a strong feeling of nostalgia and I became excited with each catch, interact with the Pokémon, they followed you, being the difference interactions. I decided to buy Let's Go Eevee to have a game of mine and not have to make an excuse to stay at my sister's house when I wanted to play. I started playing in my house and I was falling in love. Soon I saw that the criticisms I read so much were unfounded and the result of haters, which only turned away hatred blind and intense. I researched and saw that it would be a parallel line of games and I loved that idea. It will have the traditional line and this parallel. I was thrilled when my world expanded at the end of the Elite Four. Seriously, I was happy when I saw myself flying high in the sky, crossing the map at will on the back of my Charizard. Seeing everything from above was indescribable and the challenge of the Masters, very challenging. I thought to pass them and luckily, I bought pokéball plus. I was able to challenge Mew's master.

The only things I could really say that is bad is probably the motion controls, the difficulty, and a little bit of the new wild Pokemon mechanic. The motion controls are generally not too good. They are fun when you get it right, but frustrating when they go in the complete opposite direction of where you intend. It's better with the pokeball plus, but not everyone is willing to buy one. Also, the new wild battle system. It is fun to catch Pokemon like this, but regular wild battles would probably still be better. It's not bad, just it used to be better. Also, I feel it's a bit too easy. I know it's aimed at people who are new to the game, but there should be at least an option to turn the exp. share off. I'm currently playing the game and my Pokemon are all over-leveled and it was without much effort. Overall, besides a few flaws, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are very good games and introductions for people who are new to the game. I would recommend it for newcomers and old fans alike.

    The game is extremely charming, and still feels like Pokemon. I went in expecting something that was phoned in, and just an attempt to slap together the Pokemon GO mechanics with Pokemon Yellow for a quick cash grab. However, I find myself unable to put it down. Yes I was initially    I REALLY wanted to hate this game. But after putting a couple hours into it, I just can't!

    The game is extremely charming, and still feels like Pokemon. I went in expecting something that was phoned in, and just an attempt to slap together the Pokemon GO mechanics with Pokemon Yellow for a quick cash grab. However, I find myself unable to put it down. Yes I was initially disappointed that random wild battles were gone, but in it's place we get a fun and different approach to the Pokemon games. It gives the universe a fresh feeling that I rather enjoy. Everything else feels just like a core Pokemon game!

    PROS:

    *Style*
    Appealing, enjoyable, and very clean

    *Wild Captures*
    Feels more fleshed out from Pokemon GO, not as static or buggy. Just as addicting

    *Battles*
    All clear here. Still the same fun from any other Pokemon game. There's just as many, making me feel like I really haven't lost anything.

    *Music*
    Awesome soundtrack

    *Characters*
    Still wish we had a jerk of a rival, but all the characters create an enjoyable atmosphere

    CONS:

    *Difficulty*
    Its a Pokemon game. Duh. They've always been as hard as you make them on yourself. However Gamefreak made your starter WAY to powerful. Made the first hours mind numbingly easy. I've set mine aside to avoid carving my way through every battle with Eevee, because you TOTALLY could. Instead I've solved this by building a team without him. Ramped up the difficulty enough for me to start really enjoying the game.

    *RNG*
    Always been part of Pokemon games. But the wild captures are still very luck based like in Pokemon GO. The Pokemon can still run away after you throw the ball. Eat your food and bounce. A bit annoying to say the least. Takes a lot of the timing and strategy of throwing a ball away, and leaves a lot to luck and fast reaction.

    *No Breeding*
    It was very unfortunate to miss out on the breeding and EV / IV mechanics of the game. That is a loss I cannot ignore. Plain and simple. If Gamefreak took the time, I believe they could have created a new formula for breeding for CP (instead of IVs). Missed opportunity.

    OVERALL:

    I'm loving this re-imagining of Pokemon. It's casual, sure. But still very enjoyable. Honestly I wouldn't mind if they continued to make these style of remakes for other generations. And hope they do! It breathes new life into the universe, and really feels like something new.

Could have been more a full spin-off then a remake of Kanto, and it could have used less of the Pokemon go parts eventhoug its not that bad in handheld mode, it does help with the nostalgia it was meant for. I really recommand this game especially if you are normally not a fan of JRPG games. But also for those who do like JRPG'S and mainline Pokemon games, because even if it's easy (mainline pokemon games are also easy) progression feels balanced trough the whole game and combining that with your Pokemon is really relaxing and fun.… Expand

    Best pokemon game I've played in years. Much better than sun/moon which I couldn't finish because of how boring it got.

    I did not expect to like the game a lot, but I instead like the game a whole lot. It is not perfect by any means, but no game is.

    Notes beforehand: this is my first Switch game, I bought the special Let's GO Eevee edition Switch package with Let's GO theme, Pokéball Plus and LG: Eevee pre-installed on it. I'm also not too far into the game yet, with only having beaten the third gym so    I did not expect to like the game a lot, but I instead like the game a whole lot. It is not perfect by any means, but no game is.

    Notes beforehand: this is my first Switch game, I bought the special Let's GO Eevee edition Switch package with Let's GO theme, Pokéball Plus and LG: Eevee pre-installed on it. I'm also not too far into the game yet, with only having beaten the third gym so far. However, I could not stand seeing the review bombing - honest opinions are great, helpful. It sucks because I say so/it's not what I wanted (while what I wanted is on the way), is not.

    The positives:
    - It is Pokémon through and through in my opinion. You catch, raise, battle, evolve and more.
    - The soundtrack is nostalgic, but of very good quality as well; really enjoyable
    - I was skeptical about the art style at first. I found it too cartoony and not as realistic as it could have looked. A few minutes in, however, I already changed my mind. It looks beautiful (at least on my television, I have not used handheld mode yet). To me it looks like it always should have. It's colorful, cheerful and
    - it's more a living and breathing world than ever before. Pokémon appearing in the overworld, I never want that to go away
    - The attention to your starter Pokémon is great and since Eevee is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time and I want one for real, her adorableness is very pleasing
    - There are still plenty of trainer fights
    - I find using the Pokéball Plus to catch Pokémon with, genuinely more fun than just clicking a button as in the previous games
    - You don't only have a Pokémon following you, but you can ride a bigger one and Eevee rides YOU! I love it
    There is more interaction with your Pokémon now, due to the point above
    - Many characters, like Brock and Misty, look better to me now than even in the anime
    - Slight tweaks in where to find items and in the story, keep my approximately one millionth journey through Kanto relatively fresh and enjoyable
    - The new shiny chaining method is very nice and it even keeps count of your chain for you!
    - You can rename Pokémon at any time
    - You can access your box from your bag
    - Despite all the negatives below, the fun factor is MASSIVE

    The negatives:
    - You no longer fight wild Pokémon. This is of course the big one. I would be all for fighting them first, then having the current throw/catch mechanics activate as soon as you select a ball from your inventory. A toggle for this or classic capturing would also be nice
    - Capture rate is very low, even for some low-level Pokémon
    - Pokémon can flee or block you at any time. The flee even if you just used a berry or threw a ball, unlike in Pokémon Go. This is really frustrating when you are chaining, or when you encounter something rare
    - The starter Pokémon are too overpowered. Yes, Pikachu in Yellow was underwhelming and almost useless. A slight buff after a certain level threshold to replace evolution would have been nice. But... my Eevee has continuously been handed out attacks it should not be able to learn, just to ramp up her strength and those attacks have broken effects. 100% chance to burn and paralyze on 90-power attacks, for example
    - You cannot turn exp. share off, unlike in previous entries. I would like to not earn ungodly amounts of exp when catching Pokémon. I avoid catching what I want sometimes because I find I'm getting too much exp.
    - You cannot sort your party on top in the box. You have to favorite them first, then sort by favorites. And sorting favorites cannot be done in conjunction with alphabetical order, only numerical
    - The story changes fall a little flat at times
    - Little pet peeve: I wish they had used Eevee's VA from the XY/Z anime instead. That one was spot-on and to me, the one in Let's GO Eevee, sounds a bit too much like a human trying to be a cute Eevee
    - While on one hand there is more interaction with your starter, it also sacrifices grooming, for example. Changing hairstyle is not possible with your controllers, not even with the Pokéball Plus and you cannot play with any of your other Pokémon like you did with Pokémon Amie/Refresh in XY/SM/USUM. This, I really miss. An emphasis on playing with your Pokémon and fuzzy adorable cuteness, yet my Vulpix can only be playing with when loaded into my Pokéball Plus (and thus I can't see it), or talked to a bit when it's running behind me in the game. No more real petting, feeding, etc. of your other Pokémon. Unless I missed that, which would be a gross mistake on my part
    - Menus overall are clunky, but I play exclusively with the Pokéball Plus, so your mileage may vary if you use the Joycons/touchscreen
    - 'Running' is a bit slow, but that sort of was the case in SM/USUM as well, if I recall correctly. I even find my ride Pokémon slow, though. And that is supposed to be a fast one (not spoiling which one)    … Expand

    This is the best Pokemon game I've played since X and Y, titles that really added something new to the series and made it interesting again. Wasn't a fan of Sun/Moon and the spin-offs but this game hits almost all the right notes.

Wasn't a fan of Sun/Moon and the spin-offs but this game hits almost all the right notes.

    PROS:
    + The graphics are incredible! Still looks like the Pokemon we know and love but got significantly updated to run on the Switch and this game looks FANTASTIC in docked mode on a big TV.
    + The story is fun! It's not QUITE a remake of Pokemon Yellow (on purpose), but it comes very close while adding its own spin on some of the story.
    + You can get the Alolan versions of First Gen Pokemon in-game.
    + Unnecessary wild Pokemon encounters are GONE. You can now see exactly what's running around and choose to encounter it or not. Wild Pokemon battles are also gone (except for Snorlax and Legendaries I believe). You don't have to fight every single Pokemon to catch it anymore, you just complete the catching mini-game. Normal trainer battles still exist and are aplenty, don't worry! It's SURPRISINGLY fun to skip the unnecessary grind and just focus on the battles that really matter.
    + Your partner Pokemon makes the game incredibly personal and adds another layer of cuteness. You can change clothes, hairstyles and accessories on your Pikachu/Evee and match your outfits! You can also play with your partner, which will get you some rewards.
    + This game finally got rid of having to teach your Pokemon moves like fly/surf/cut etc. and having to have them in your party in case you need them. Your partner Pokemon learns all these moves in a special selection screen so no space is taken up in your attack selection and Pikachu/Evee can still use them even if they aren't in your party. You can still obtain those moves and teach them to Pokemon if you want, but they don't need to be removed by the move deleter!
    + There is no need to run to Pokemon centers to change your party anymore! You constantly carry your Pokemon box around with you and can change your party whenever you like. You can send Pokemon directly from your box to Professor Oak for candy rewards that will help improve your Pokemon.
    + Unnecessary on-screen notifications such as "would you like to name the Pokemon you just caught" have been removed and you can now name your Pokemon whenever and wherever you want, as many times as you want.
    + Movement is fluid, and you can have another Pokemon as well as your partner outside the pokeball. Some of these (the big ones) can be ridden or even flown on! Moving around on Charizard for example makes you move much faster.
    + The pokemon outside your ball will help you find items hidden in the world and your Pikachu/Evee's tale will wag if you're close to a hidden item.

    NEUTRAL:
    +/- The Pokeball accessory is quite expensive but in my opinion worth it. I absolutely enjoy playing the game with it and hardly ever use another controller. It fits well in the hand and is of excellent quality. You can also use it to level your Pokemon up outside the game while walking or link it to Pokemon GO for extra rewards.

    CONS:
    - There is no breeding in the game, which is a shame.
    - No GTS system, which is a major step backwards for the series and trading with people you don't know is a pain.
    - There's one Pokemon Go exclusive Pokemon you cannot get just through playing Pokemon Let's Go, and I think that's a mistake. All Pokemon should be obtainable in the one game you bought (and the other version) without having to play Pokemon Go.

    I was very skeptic before trying this game but I have to say it was worth every cent and a breath of fresh air in the series. Unlike Fallout 76, it just WORKS. And to the people giving this game 0/10 after saying in their review they really enjoyed the main campaign but were disappointed with the endgame content: that is not how scores work. Post-game content is an extra bit added to the end of the game. If you really enjoyed the game up until then, that is an unfair score to give and I don't know how you justify it. For anyone looking for fun, engaging game-game content, Pokemon Let's Go is absolutely worth a try!    … Expand

    Pokemon Let's Go was promised as a remake of Pokemon Yellow, and I believe they have fulfilled that promise. It seems like some are upset this wasn't a remake of Yellow with every other version added as well, but that is not what was advertised.

    I don't know why this game has upset so many people. I don't think people are remembering Blue, Red, and Yellow correctly if they think this game is doing a disservice to them. There have been some changes made to the mechanics, like how you interact with wild Pokemon, but I am thoroughly enjoying the game. It is what finally pushed me to buy a Switch.

    There are many games that rely on plain nostalgia to sell. Most of us who are spending the money are aware of this so no one is being conned. In addition, Yellow is almost 20 years old, so the people who are experiencing the nostalgia are probably between 30 - 40 years old (like myself). At that age, you should be completely competent to decide if $60 is too much to spend on your childhood nostalgia. I believe mine was extremely well spent and this is a great purchase for anyone who wants to relive that nostalgia, or to introduce new people into the Pokemon-verse.    … Expand

Catching pokemon is now fun and rewarding instead of tedious and frustrating, as well as ultimately useless in most cases. Finding pokemon with good IVs is now something you work towards using both skill and determination, instead of blind luck. HMs no longer take move slots. There is just so much to love here and the blind hate it's getting is really sad...

    The pokeball plus is amazing in this game. Taking my pokemon to work with my and watching their levels skyrocket when I get home is such a great feeling, way better than the pikachu accessory I had as a kid that would reward me with pure **** It's also a great controller in it's own right for this specific game...

    That all said, the game is far from perfect. The cuteness overload of your companion is overwhelming at times. The game is WAY too easy and will stay that way if you take full advantage of the mechanics, you kinda control the difficulty yourself depending on how you play. The control options are limited, internet options are kind of a joke, and you still only have one save(per profile anyways). There is definitely some give and take here, but IMO if this count as a main line pokemon game, it's easily the best since gold/silver... Here's hoping for a Johto DLC!    … Expand

L' introduzione delle nuove meccaniche di gioco ha reso l esperienza molto più godibile e anche il sistema di cattura che non prevede più il combattimento con i selvatici non mi ha causato fastidio, anzi ( sebbene preferirei uno stile di cattura misto, che possa prevedere il combattimento per indebolire i selvatici insieme a un sistema che si basi sull' amicizia con selvatico da catturare, un po' in stile undertale dove si può menare le mani oppure anche finire lo scontro in maniera pacifica). Da mesi prima del lancio, su vari forum e pagine c' erano persone che davano il gioco già per spacciato, e a questi voglio dire di provare a dare un opportunità al gioco. Certamente non a tutti può piacere, questo è sacrosanto, ma se siete fan di vecchia data questi giochi vi possono veramente lasciare delle forti emozioni, non collegate alla nostalgia, ma proprio al grado di immersione che si prova giocando, inarrivato fino ad oggi a mio parere, anche se in altro di sicuro pecca.… Expand

    Overall, I did have a blast playing Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee. I did like visiting all the cities of the original Pokémon games again and seeing all the original Pokémon. However, I really did not like how they changed how you capture Pokémon and I did not like the setup of the Pokémon boxes. For those who want to play this game for nostalgia reasons, I would recommend waiting until a sale comes out before purchasing. For newcomers to Pokémon, this is a really good introduction into the world of Kanto.

    It’s hard to make sense of the game that’s basically a Switch port of iOS/Android remake of Pokemon Red/Green. Is it a step forward, step backward – or maybe just a shameless cash-in? Turns out, it’s a great remake – the world looks exactly as we imagined it back when we were staring at black and white pixels of original Red/Green. [Issue#235, p.44]
